My heart is sad ..

Yes.. Jesus..

I saw Judas...

and felt his bitter kiss ...

I am friends with Peter

and experienced his denial .. too ..

Oh My Lord; I know it happened to you ..

Thomas has visited

and I have heard his doubts

Oh My Lord I am finding out

Just what Ministry is

Giving and giving until it hurts

and yet still people missed your line in the dirt

You who have no sin; throw that first stone

Jesus did you feel this alone

Your work is here to be done

To share of your Love; the gift of your Son

Thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit

Who comes to rest..

ever so gently upon my chest

Bringing me love, joy and peace

I hear it Lord... long-suffering, too

kindness, goodness, faithfulness

gentleness, (too)
self-control .. (Help me Lord I understand)

when the Holy Spirit is through

We will have learned all that we are supposed to do ..

Not questioning why ... but ever thankful

of being pressed through ...

Because that.. my Lord.. is when I am closest to You!

Amen!

Love LisaMe! your sister friend ...

Galatians 5:22, 23

Note to self: When I do not know.. just what to do.. I wait and allowing God to put the pieces.. in place ... Even now he is showing me my words .. that I wrote .. "Life is full of all kinds of trials but when faced with a friend.. it is easier to smile" .. God has a way .. of making things come out ... lol .. I so love God... I know.. He has a perfect plan ...This was just what I needed ... to know.. He will put the pieces in place.. and His will ... Will be completed in my life ... it doesn't matter what people say .. because even "IF" I were perfect.. they would find fault .. didn't they with Jesus ...I am to keep my eyes... on God.. and on His plan/will for my life.. waiting .. moment by moment.. day by day .. for the things to unfold ... and fall into place .. and ... I will .. do the best of my ability ... to do what He asks me and do it the way He asks me ... I can not please.. man .. man .. will never.. know.. how real God is to me.. or my Great Love for Him .. It is my desire .. to please Him ... above all else... Thank you for seeing my heart ..

Marriage

One Man and One Woman

On the edge of life

A Husband take's a wife

To walk down the highway called life

Hand and hand for their lifes to expand

This one Woman and This one Man

Trust is what I see you do

The Man holding on to you

When you could easily slip off the edge of that cliff

He sweeps you off your feet to give you a lift

Love is shared betweed the pair

It is more than a feeling that is in the air

It is the inner strength that is shared between the two

A Circle of hope that leads you to faith

Faith is believing: in things that you cannot see

Trust has to be shared

The Man brings courage and strength

While The Woman brings beauty and heart

May God provide for you a Beautiful Life

As you embark upon this Journey

Love, LisaMe!

Note to self: While looking at pictures of my nieces wedding .. I got inspired .. to write this inspiration ...

And so it Lives on.. to wish others Happy Birthday too! So Be blessed this is from the Lord to YOU!

Smile is All I Can Do

:~) is all I can do ..

I can not even imagine

Spending time at a theme part with my grand's

by the time they take Gram-Me by the hand

Showing me the things in their room

This Gram-Me is almost through ..lol

Holding babies .. Until I think my arm might break

Waiting for naps .. for time to escape .. lol

Then they are up .. with renewed energy

Finding something else for Gram-Me to see

A push on a swing .. a ride on a bike

Rushing ever forward .. never thinking twice

Is Gram-Me still there

Only waiting to play and wanting to share

All of the things they miss everyday

When Gram-Me is not with them to play

Love your sister friend.. LisaMe! .. aka . Gram-Me!

Note to self: .. Written after reading of an adventure.. from a friend.. spending time at Disney with her grandchildren .. Thanks NannyD swollenFeet ..

LOL .. I must be Gram-Me! WoundedKnee

Oh how I love getting inspired and how I love writing..

Hope you enjoy the words that I weaved .... allow them to take root.. water.. weed and wait paitently on the Lord...Remember there are thorns amongst the seeds .. they do hurt and cause us to bleed ... But also cause us.. to press closer to the Lord .. who protects us and heals us from our own wants .. I pray that today.. will be a blessed day for you... And that God himself will lead you.. to all you do.....Love your sister friend... LisaMe!

I have sent seeds to many..

Only you and God..

Knows what it will bloom....

As you water, weed and wait ..

How does your Garden Grow

Mine grows..

With words of encouragement

That the Lord.. fills in my heart

And hits this keyboard ..

And sometimes comes out of my lips

To share with you ...

I love what my Garden Grew

Because I knew it would touch you!

Love LisaMe!

Paradise Island By: LisaMe!

What If
I were stranded on a deserted island
With no cell phone or computer
No doubt I would miss my family and friends
I would miss hearing their voices
And miss seeing their faces
That fill; the void of empty spaces; in my life
But I would have with me
All of my memories of both; the good times and the bad
And I would have with me; the scriptures
I have memorized throughout my life
I would have my thoughts and prayers
My love for God would still be there
So how alone would I really be
You all would still be there with me
I course I will be your friend..
I would have it no other way
Because with you; I love to laugh and love to play
I am learning so many things along life's way
With these silly games most think is just for play
Here I enter into another game
Knowing God is bringing me here
To teach me another life lesson

So here goes

Note to self .. Started playing Paradise Island .. who will meet there .. One thing I know.. is God is already there ....

9/6/2010
Update .. I haven't played a game in quite a while.. been busy writing .. I love the lessons God teaches me .. through every experience He lead me to and carry's me through ...

Fishy Fishy

Love the fish ... love you

And all the things.. you say so true

What a wonderful Gift God gave

When He sent a friend like You!

Love .. LisaMe

Note: while.. visiting a friends.. facebook page.. she had a photo of a fish as her profile picture.. Got inspired.. and so I write...lol

To the Mother in Love

This Year We’re Happy to Say
In Person
Happy Mother’s Day

We are glad you are here
And decided to stay
We would have it
No other way

This is your home
It’s More than just a house
Even if it is not big enough for a mouse
Giggle .. giggle
We do have to be careful when we stretch and wiggle
Giggle .. giggle

It’s a place for you
To come and go
A place you can call your own
To be with your family and friends
Until your journey comes to an end

After all
Home is where the heart is at

We are so blessed to have you
In our Hearts and in our Home

We Bless you on this Mother’s Day
We would have it
No other way

So Happy Mother’s Day
My Dear
We pray you enjoy
Many more years

Know that we are here for you
To love and encourage you
Stacey and Lisa

Note: This is the poem for my Mother in Love.. my husband's mother.. who came to live with us.. End of Jan 09 ... Her card had to heart people on the front.. I wanted her to feel the love.. we have for her.. as well as experience it.. She will be 85 this summer.. We share the same birthday.. 6-10

My Hat’s Off To You!

Sending you Butterfly Kisses

And Watering cans
Angels with wings holding flowers in their hands

I saw this card and thought of you
Of all the crops you planted and grew
And of how your life is slowing down
Such a laborer no one has found

You have worked hard your whole life through
Always putting others in front of you
Never a task did you delay
Always willing to work when others would play

Now it is time
To sit back and see
The Harvest the Lord has given to thee..

The Beautiful Garden
Of Life’s Great Reward
Your Children are grown
Some of your grand children too
And God has Blessed you
With Great Grandchildren Too

Enjoy your Family
On this Mother’s Day
And know that you are loved
In a very Special Way

I Love you
Your Daughter
LisaMe!

Note: My Mother's Day poem to my Mother .. Sent with a bird house .. the poem was written on pink and white butterfly paper .. the card.. had gardening tools, a straw hat, a watering can and packages of seeds.. with flowers in bloom.. It reminded me of her..

For her birthday I had written the Love on your Tree ... 11-27-08 ..

Note to self: Just more Gardening thoughts from LisaMe! How does your Garden Grow... more and more healing dont ya know...

Thoughts from another day ... 10/21/2010 .. when I wrote "The Heart Matters"  these are are connected together .. because of how the garden grows....

How does your Garden Grow ...

It is important to ask
And Important to know..
Today..
I planted some heart felt seeds
I pray it grows hearts...
...And not any weeds ...
Love LisaMe!

Life’s Tender Moments

We live, we die.. we laugh, we cry...
We trust in God.. not always knowing why..
He is the way, He is the truth...
Our life is here to produce Good Fruit .. Amen!

I am coming out of Winter
And

 Entering into Spring!..

Life is growing from me! .. LisaMe!

Note to self: I totally agree.. that is why my book is called A Candy For All Seasons .. with life changing messages.. {{hugs}} LisaMe!

Been playing around on Farm Town over at face book..

It is challenging and inspiring me to write.. more encouraging things.. 

It is amazing what God is doing in me.. 

Again I say to myself..

How does your Garden Grow ... 

What you plant is what you sow... 

It is important to ask and important to know...

Note: Friday May 1st, 2009 I ordered my business cards .. I am so excited..

Note: August 17, 2009.. I purchased self publishing.. from Xulon Press.. my book will be released in time for Christmas sales ...

God is Faithful .. when we plant our Dreams.. they grow up into realities

Ecclesiastes 3

New King James Version (NKJV)

Everything Has Its Time

3 To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven

Peace Be Still

"Jesus rebuked the wind and said to the sea, 'Hush, be still.' And it became perfectly calm."
(Mark 4:39)

As we wait upon the Father's will
In all we say
and all we do

I check my heart..
Right here with you
Trusting God with all I do
And all my thoughts
concerning you

Note:
(checking my own heart with the Lord while reading His word)
(Psalms 115:1 All Honor Glory and Praise belongs to the Lord.. along with all things of this world)
(my thoughts concerning.. family/friends)

Note to Self: Received this scripture.. (Mark 4:39) with the following.. comment..( How to Keep Your Faith in a World of Chaos) from Breaking News.. this is how it speaks to me..
Your sister friend... LisaMe!

In the stillness

There are times
in the stillness
of silence
the most is spoken...

Remember
God knows our hearts
and hears our prayers
before they are whispered ..
He is Already there...

Love your sister friend...
LisaMe!

Psalm 34:17
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

Note: 10-7-2010 .. This continues to speak... If you are reading this.. Know you are not alone.. God is with you and hears your cries... in the darkness of night .. Help is already on it's way .. It brings to mind.. about the little donkey that was tied up and bound .. thinking it's life had no purpose.. Jesus sent word that is the one He wanted to ride.. that Palm Sunday ... Propchey fufilled.. Your time is coming ..

Zechariah 9:9 (New King James Version)


The Coming King
9 “ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.


Matthew 21

The Triumphal Entry
1 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage,[a] at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. 3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, sayingJesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,

“Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion;

see, your king is coming,

seated on a donkey’s colt.”



Note: If you feel tied up and bound in life.. Know that God has a plan for you .. That is why Jesus was sent .. to free us from Bondage... Keep your eye focused on Him ... this was preached in a message in 1999 and I never forgot.. it .. it is a message of Hope... deliverance.. and A Promise that will come.. just keep your eyes on Him...

Note:2-21-09 Written after reading a friends.. journal about the stillness of the early morning in her house.. when everyone else is asleep.. of her secret cries out to God.. for His understanding and help ..

Note to self: God always comes to the rescue.. He is the Victory .. It is not in our time.. or in our way.. but He always shows up.. either way.. He is there in the midst of your storm .. in the midst of your pain.. He could be sunshine or He could be rain.. either way.. Continue to sing His Praise.. He is your Victory .. I share this with you... As I continue to remind myself.. His will is on the way .. These things have come to pass not to stay .. LisaMe!

Victory is won

My Victory is won
The battle is overcome..
Because He is...
I have nothing to do
But to continue to Stand ..
Praying as God possess the land ..
Remembering, the Battle is His..
I will trust and obey as long as I live...
Remembering the covenant, that was promised for me ..
At three words satan has to flee..
Knowing he has to get behind me...
Gives me courage and Joy for the day ..
Knowing my Savior .. has made a way.. Amen!

Note to self: I found this jewel last night.. I wrote it on 10-6-08 in response to a friend .. It applies for today .. I am Working on continuing to hear God and do what He says .. trying to keep my focus on His will not my wants.. Amen! My friends continue to be an inspiration!
I Love writing things from my heart ... LisaMe!

Life is a Journey

God is with you 
and 
Has not strayed

I understand 
How lonely 
Life can feel
When going through 
Things that are so surreal
We do not always understand the reasons
Why

But know that God .. is not sitting idly by 
He hears each prayer

And 
Hears every cry 
He allows us weakness

To depend 
More on Him

It's ok 
To cry my friend

We never truly understand 
Until 
The battle's end 

How our weakness 
Turns into strength
Because 
We learn 
How to trust 
In Him 

I can say this 
Because 
I have been 
Where you are

Know 
That I am praying for you
Love LisaMe, 
Your sister friend

Note: 12/5/2014 .. This was written 5 yrs ago Just before our grandchildren came to live with us.. Who could have know the Journey .. this would be ..5 is the number for Grace.. Father God thank you for all of the Grace you have given unto to me .. And allowed me to give it to others .. You are my precious gift in 
This Journey of Life

Thank you, Tois Talyor.. Because  Many years ago, (1994) Because of you I learned how to clean out my spiritual closet .. And to know that it would be a huge mess.. but once reorganized .. my life would be neatly organized and prioritized and put in boxes with labels back on the shelf .. It gets easier each time going through life's little messes.. Even the Big ones .. knowing I can throw out bad decisions.. and start fresh and new .. Knowing God gives us Grace .. His free gift for all of you .. Praying is a lot of what I do .. while writing inspirations to me and to you .. Praying you have a Beautiful Blessed Day while considering what you need to throw out today .. Remember we can never out give God.. offer up a pray for others.. Give fforgiveness where it is do .. And Remember it all starts with YOU ... Love .. LisaMe!

Saying Good-Bye to 2008

The time has come to walk through the gate

Saying Good-bye to 2008

As I reach back to close it behind

I take a moment to rehash in my mind

All of the things both good and bad

Lots of memories happy and sad

For only a moment the time stands still

As I think of my life wanting only God's will

Another year passes me by

Lord I am getting older I cry
He tells me yes, daughter you are

Older, yet wiser

You have traveled so far

It is true Lord I have looked back

Over my life this year

Feeling with more certainty

My ministry more clear

And now as I close the gate

No longer looking back at 2008

I look forward to All that will be defined

In this new year of 2009

Note: I am looking forward to the New Year expecting God's will to manifest in my life ..

Happy New Year .. to All

Isaiah 40:31

But they that wait upon the LORD

shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint.

Blankets of Healing

I give to you this blanket

It is a special kind
It is brought to you

With love and prayer
Stitched with you in mind

With each stitch of thread
I thought of you in bed
So I made for you this blanket
With the pillowslip for your head

I prayed that God would cover you
And that you would feel His love
As Angels watch over you
From Heaven up above

I pray that God’s love
Would cover you
And bring with it His healing
I felt so much love for you I could not shake this feeling

Knowing this little blanket
Would bring you so much joy
Whether a little girl or a boy

I thought this special blanket
Would be better than a toy

It holds within its threads
Prayers and blessing
For your bed

Mark 5:21-43

Note: Written for Gwen Johnson .. and her sisters who stitched blankets for children in the hospital.. I wrote these words .. to accompany these special blanket blessings.. We printed them on brite smiley face paper and rolled and tied then with britely colored ribbon .. for their delivery ..We pray that they meet the face of smiling children ..and bless the hearts of their parents and caregivers.

Your Little Ones

Love those little freckles..

And the sparkles in his eyes

He is speaking in truths

And not telling any lies

Thinking deep within

About the trouble he gets in

Wondering how it finds him(lol)

Wish I new this little one..

Called Braden .. who is your son

Oh what fun!

I miss not knowing your little ones!
Early Inspirations..lol

Love you LisaMe!

Note: Written while reading my friend Briana's blog .. she had a picture of her son .. I got tickeled by his freckles and the twinkle in his eyes .. lol

Frankincense, Gold & Myrrh

Were the gifts brought
For Jesus’ birth
I bring them to be a gift to you
May you always remember
The birth of our Savior
And the sacrifice others made
To bring Him gifts

And His special gift He gave to us
Eternal life, paid with the price
Of
 His own life
John 3:16

Merry Christmas
Your sister friend

LisaMe!

Merry Christmas Lady Eagles

Our Lady Eagle’s Beautiful Tree
Merry Christmas
12/2008
From: LisaMe!

As I was sitting thinking about how much all of you ladies mean to me
I could see you All on a Beautiful Tree
I saw Valerie all in Green
Keeping our tree free of grass and singing to a upper class
And then there was Jenny Martin
Sitting in her pink and blue
Listening with her eyes on all of you
Ms Evelyn you are new
I can’t wait to see what the Lord has for you
He is cooking up something rare
Taking His time in you to prepare
Lena was there; so gifted is she
I could see her fingerprints all over our tree
Painting our blossoms with colors so true
With colors of red, purple and did you see that patch of blue
Ms Lillie was there
Showing how much she cares
For each and every one of you
And even though her words are few
She has beautiful thoughts with colors of Gold
With spiritual stories deep in her soul
And where would we all be
Without our sister Vicky D
She was sitting in the middle of our tree
Her branches reaching out in every direction
Praying for all of us: for God’s protection
And I saw Ms Gerry praying in the center of our tree
Praying for you and praying for me
Praying for all of our families
And next to her
Ms Joyce was praying in a heavenly language
And then I heard Ms Harriet sing
Songs so sweet
It lifted me higher and higher into our tree
Touching each one of the leaves
With Hallelujah’s to our king,
Our tree is so filled with love
So many angels collected on our tree
Reminding God of you and me
Rosa, Agnes, and Jenny
We miss you when you are not there
We love to hear you when you share
We’re lifting you up to God in prayer
I could see Gwen stitching her quilts
Sewing the love that the Lord has built
Deep within the leaves of our tree
Ms Mary was helping with her reds and her greens
Adding in talents so gifted is she
Our gifts being honored by the Kings of all Kings
More of you I began to see
Regina,
Ms Betty, Ms Lucy, and Ms Picou,
We have been praying for all of you
Arminda we have missed you and Vanessa too
And where would we be without our Pier Part crew
Stronger and stronger our tree grew
I could feel God’s Grace Abounding over me and you
Ashley you have gifted our tree
With talents unknown we are waiting to see
What the Lord has for you and for me
Your presence of love flows evenly
Pouring itself over our tree
Things Felt deeply by more than just me
God’s healing we are waiting to see
Jackie is crafty even if some say she is tacky
She has added so much joy to our tree
Adding glitter and glue
And a heart that is true
Where would our tree be without you
Diane was way up high
She had wings like a butterfly
But looking back with second glances
I saw it was with angels that she dances
Praising God is what I saw the leaves of our tree do
Bringing healing to me and to you
Pauline was there like a fragrant flower
Passing through the leaves
With healing in her porcelain cup
Filling us all up with a word from the Lord
Diana was there in her regal way
She shared with us
She had much to say
Shellie surprised us with the colors She wore
She is Christ’s child whom we all adore
Ashley and Brittany were in our tree
Sitting and singing .. a lovely melody
Tiffany and Kim joined right in
Dancing and shaking the leaves and the limbs
Praising God is what we come here to do
Such joy has spilled over from out of our tree
His Glory is all around you and me
We are decorated with His love
With beauty and grace that flows from your faces
It is His light that we want to shine
So when He returns none will be left behind
So as I sit and look upon our beautiful tree

I see precious gifts
God has given pieces of each of you to me
I pray the world will see
How God has made our Beautiful tree
I write these words in love
Your sister in Christ LisaMe!

Note: This was written for my Tuesday Ladies Church group .. to share at our Christmas Party You all mean so much to me .. it is evident as seen in our tree .. We are a fun bunch of ladies ..
