Just Believe

Daddy dodo
I believe in you

God is your God
And I know this is true
He is doing a deep-rooted work in you

Give in to His love
It is His gift from above
He will not let you down or fall beneath the ground

The devil, he cannot win
He only wishes that God were his twin
He is deceived, he lives a lie and in the end he knows he will die.

But not you my dear husband my Mr. Man
God is doing all that He can
To open your eyes and show you His love

While you live in this land

There are too many friends who care about you
They are praying to God, to help guide you through
Warring in the Spiritual Realm standing in battle for you

So Believe in yourself
You are not alone
There are multitudes of Angeles surrounding God’s throne

Rejoicing with God Singing in Heaven
Because they already know
You will make it home

I Love You

Your LisaMe!

Note: One of the many poems of encouragement written to my husband.. Stacey ..

Lady Diana

You are truly a Creation
That brings forth a sensation

To all who know you

May your always grow close to the vine
Releasing your pollen to those in need
As you allow Jesus to be your wings

You are a beautiful flower
That brings beauty and light

To all who are touched by your lightness of ways
Encouragement comes in so many ways
It strengthens our hearts and lengthens our days

I am encouraged
By the things that I can see God do
Because of the Beauty
That He has placed in you

And here Today

We come to Celebrate

The journey of your Life

Beautiful Pages of your life
As a sister, a friend
A mother and a wife

Happy Birthday
Love LisaMe!

Note: Recently one of the Ladies in our Womens prayer group had her 60th Birthday .. I was not able to go to the celebration.. A friend bought a card for me.. a brought it over to my house.. while I was signing.. her card.. which happen to have lots of butterflies, flowers, feathers, and leaves this is what came about.. on the card.. I wrote in circles and .... dots ..lol

Whispering prayers

In the Father’s ears
We know He is listening
Even through all of our fears

These little earrings
With glistening drops
Is our way of saying
Please do not stop

May they be a reminder to you
Of all of the special things
That you say and do

Of the prayers you have whispered
And the tears you have shed
The witness you have been
And the life you have led

Prayers you have lifted up on our behalf
Especially for your brother to pick up his staff

You are a blessing this much is true
And it is our pleasure to
Bestow gifts onto you

Love, Lisa & Stacey

Note: Written to my sister in law.. with a bag of gifts I picked up for her .. that included a beautiful pair of dangling earrings.. I am so appreciative for the prayers I know she offers up for her brother..

A Lump of Clay

Outside walking in the break of day
I know I am just a lump of clay
Talking to the Lord.. I had much to say
I am trusting in Him to show me the way

Open my ears so I can hear
Open my eye so I can see
Sometimes we get blinded by Humanity

Remove the junk that makes me blind
Renew my spirit and my mind

Speaking to God while I am on my way
All I want is for you to have your way
Mold me make me day by day

Lord I am Willing, show me the way

Love, LisaMe!

Intercession

Thank you for your intercession

Your compassion and your prayers

I Thank God that He will meet them

With His love and with His care
Your friendship has already

Become Special to me

You are a gift unto the Lord

Yes, this is what I see
In Love and friendship

Your sister in the Lord, LisaMe!

Note: written to a friend.. after hearing that she was in prayer for our family.. over the loss of Dusty ..

Gawking and Talking

Thoughts that are rolling around in my head..
As I wander off headed for bed
Is not any animal at all
But Women who are Spiritually Tall
Not wandering around or shopping at the Mall

But talking and praying over spiritual things
That would make most peoples ears tingle and ring
Deep is a word that comes to my mind
I have found most people are just spiritually blind

But you have been very refreshing
Listening to your words
Is like having salad with a wonderful dressing

And yes my dear friend I do love to rhyme
Gawking and Talking most of the time ..
When listening to God in a spiritual rhyme
He tickles my soul most of the time

Joy is the word that I leave you with
As you open your heart
Instead of your head

This little rhyme
Is simply to pass the time
of a Gawking and Talking
In a Spiritual Rhyme
Love, LisaMe!

Note:
Written to a new friend.. silly chatter .. lol
I do not always write just for fun ..
but this one.. was a MOST enjoyable one.. lol ..
It shows how my heart is being freed and healed ...Amen!

One day.. this will go on the road .. sharing it for all to see ..
Just How much Fun Gawking and Talking can be ...
Look for ..... LisaMe!

LisaMe!

Smile!

Life is full of all kinds of trials

But when faced with a friend

It is easier to smile!

Leap Frog

Here’s a Frog to go in your Garden may it be a reminder to where we have been and where we are going. This leapfrog is to remind you that there are times when we are to carry. And times when we are to be carried. The idea of the leapfrog was to help advance one another to the next level; it was not intended to squash each other, or to take advantage of the other. The idea was to help one another to the next level. If we can learn a lesson from the leapfrog, we could learn a lot. Not looking back, but looking forward. In order to truly get to the next level we have to leave where we have come from behind us forgiving looking forward. God has a lot of Great plans for us. With the leapfrog plan we could go far. So how about it? Want to jump ahead to see the Plans God has for us. The only other alternative is to drown in the pond of un-forgiveness. I like God’s plan better he died for our sins and gave us a sea of forgetfulness. Where all the frogs’ both young and old jump higher and live longer. And with that thought forgive me and let me leap over to help carry you and not be a burden to you. Have a wonderful birthday! . I pray that you live longer and Jump Higher!

Happy Birthday!
With Much Love LisaMe!

Note: Written for my mother for her birthday 2003

2014 Brought Mother a Kissing frog ..

 

Amazing thoughts from.. LisaMe!

A Miracle in His hand

Jesus did it with dirt in his hand..
What did he do with the old blind man..
Jesus put spit into his hand
mixing it with sand..
Then touching his eyes, what a surprise..
He opened his eyes! ..
If he did it for him he can do it for me ...
What does Jesus have to do in order for us to see ...

Amazing thoughts from.. LisaMe!

Distance Between Friends

You are a friend who is always there
sight unseen I know you care,
When there is a need I know you'll pray
and I pray for you it just works that way.

There is not a friend more true than you
who picks me up when I am blue.
No matter the distance between us two
I know with God I can count on you.

Love LisaMe!

Note: To my prayer partners and special sister friends .. who are always willing to pray for me when I call .. I Love you ..

For All God's People

Life is precious
Life is sweet

We must take time

to stop and speak

To share our heart

to say a prayer

to just let people

know we care

It pleases God

to see us Love

He's watching

Us from up above

So be that friend

take time to pray

For all God's people

Everyday!

Lisa Me!

Note: This was one of my first poems written..
Before blogger; Before 2003

I wrote while thinking of Daniel Dardar
Who had invited me to write for him at Louisiana Good News
A non profit ~ Christian Newspaper ..Thank you for your encouragement
I had not really written before .. because of you; Because of Peggy P
I have continued to write .. expressing my deep inspirations

(My blogger was started in 2008 needing what I felt at the time was a safe place to share
My writings (it was not safe) Ending in 2019 because of their constraints not allowing me to share the link freely through facebook. twitter and goolgle ..
Learning where All the lies and spies really are Dec 2018
It is still very much still unraveling)

Friendship Flowers ..

Dear Friends

New friendship is like flowers growing in a garden.
They started out as little seeds,
That grew a mists the soil and weeds,
The more they are watered they more they grow.
Sometimes we plant and don't even know.
The "JOY" we bring to all who are there
In mists of God's garden with love and care
It is for His pleasure it is the reason we are there.
Each one of different each one of us rare

As the flowers grow from beneath the soil
We continue to labor and continue to toil
With labor of love to remove all the weeds
As new growth comes up from within the seeds
We tenderly nurture the tiny plants
Whose leaves sometimes look as though they dance
Maybe it’s their way of showing their Praise
To the Father of Heaven with their leaves raised
For the one who created their beauty and grace
For all who behold the love on their face

It is the purpose of the friendship to bring love.
It is just like the garden
 it needs watering, weeding and waiting,
patiently as it grows.
Just like garden it will not grow without the "Son",
or the watering of the Holy Spirit.
The Father created within us an eternal purpose.
He commanded us to Love one another.
It becomes a pure "JOY" when friends are like you.
Your courage stands out; you are a strong branch in God's Garden.
No branch becomes strong without being tested to make sure
it can hold its place in the vine.
God has a purpose and plan for us all.
The garden is His creation and He knew when He planted it
what would grow and what would be weeds.
Thank you for using your branches and reaching out to me.
As you have for so many others.
Be encouraged to remain willing and God will continue to use you.
A garden is a lot like God's creation
He created us for His enjoyment.
We are like seeds planted around, and throughout the earth.
He waters us with His Holy Spirit.
We nurture and feed off of each others love
that comes from the Father given to us by the Son.
That is God's purpose that is why it begun.
Who gets more enjoyment
the Gardner who planted the seeds,
The flowers who beautifully grow,
or the ones who look upon the garden.
With much Love, LisaMe

How does my Garden Grow?

With beautiful sister friends..
the Lord wants me to know
you were planted in my life ..
hand picked by Him.. Amen!
Love LisaMe!

What you plant is what you will grow..
It is important to ask and important to know...
Pulling up weeds.. is important too! ..
Even if they silently grew ..
It is time they go ..
And they already knew ..
More from the Garden of LisaMe!♥

Note: Written the morning that I was going to meet VickyD for coffee .. I did not know her very well this day.. in fact I had just recently met her ..It was April 2003 .. I had just found a pumpkin watering can at a garage sale .. we had just had cell at my home.. Ms Dottie had brought some brown mums .. I put them in that little pumpkin watering can .. that is when Friendship Flowers was birthed .. I sat and wrote it quickly on my computer ..  We have been friends since 2003.. I have been inspired to write her many things .. She was always willing to hear my writings ....I have watched her life.. be rearranged ..

All in the life of the garden ...plucked and planted .. Father knows best ... we all have to face life's test ..... big or little .. we must do what we can.. to keep the bugs out .. to cultivate our fruit .. The fruits of the Spirit  make it very clear to see ...

But the fruit of the Spirit 

is love, joy, peace, forbearance, 

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

gentleness and self-control. 

Galatians 5:22 

A Prayer for Ms. Vicky D

I pray Dear Lord

Her wounds to see

As she puts her hope

And trust in thee

Heal her Lord

from inside out

As she waits on you

for your plan to come about

You know her heart

her deepest need

She's petitioned you

yes she did plead

While she lays there

oh so still

We thank you Lord

for her to heal
A Miracle
Please bestow
On her body
From head to toe
We thank you Lord
For all your love
As sent to us
From the Father Above
Love to my friend
Amen!
LisaMe

Note: Written for Vicky when she was down in her back..

Ms Thelma Beadle Rebardi

Ms Thelma loved to wear her dress and fix herself in her Sunday best.
She loved God and was not ashamed to sing praises to His name.
Even though I am so far away, I will miss my friend who has gone home to stay.
Today she has no pain, or sorrow, and no more waiting for tomorrow.
She will be remembered by all who cared about the life she had and the love she shared.
We will hold a memory in our heart of Ms Thelma Beadle Rebardi.
I will remember the smile upon her face, her love for people and the way her face would light up when she saw my kittens. I got to know her because of my dear friend Vicky, whom she loved as a daughter, and Michael who she watched grow from a baby into a handsome young man. They took the time to hold her hand, and be her family. They shared Ms Thelma with the rest of us, and because of them she left behind a family who loved her. I thank God for her eternal home. May she rest in peace, Love LisaMe!

Note: Written for my friend Vicky for her to share at the Memorial of Ms Thelma who will be sadly missed. She had no family .. Vicky adopted her .. brought her to church every week and visited her at the nursing home often.. She will be missed.

Heart felt Prayer

Pastor Lee, church family and my friends

It’s not just with words, but heart felt prayer
That I take this time with you to share
To thank you each and everyone
Especially my husband and my son

You have shared with me to be a friend
To Ms Thelma, in her life and in her death

Ms Thelma would be so proud
Of all of you who gathered around
You came, you shared and you were there
To pray respect, to show you cared

To sings songs of praise in remembrance
Even though some of you only knew her at a distance
She made peace with God long ago
And it doesn’t matter the things we did not know

When we go through times of trials and loss
It is good to know Christ paid the cost
And all our friends who stand together
To pray with us in any weather

A Very Special Day

We are remembering with you
On this very special day
One of God’s children that has since past away
Your beloved Sandy on her birthday

Sandy is not forgotten
And neither are you
So here’s a little gift
To celebrate with you

So do not cry
And do not be sad
Just cherish and remember
The good times you had

We will all be together
One day this is true
It is the promise
From God the Father to you

Wish we were there
Much love Stacey and Lisa

Note: Written for my mother in law.. on the anniversary of the passing of her oldest daughter .. Our Beloved Sandy

Dancing with the Angels

Wife, mother, sister and friend
Is the way we remember
Our dear, dear friend

Her wonderful smile
Her kindness and joy
She’s returned to the Father and her sweet little boy

We take a moment to morn
And to be sad
But what she would want is for us to be glad

She is dancing with Angels
She is in the Father’s hands
No longer we will see her beauty
Upon this land

She is dancing with Angels
There is joy on her face
Her pain is gone
She is in a heavenly place

She is dancing with Angels
Time in her body has come to an end
Today she is with Jesus
Who was her best friend

She has left her hand print
Upon our hearts
And upon our lives

We know it is not goodbye
But until we meet again
And until that day comes
We know she will be dancing with Angels
Rest in Peace

Love your sister friend,

LisaMe!

Be Blessed my Dear Friend

The Journey has come to an end

You have done your part,

You reached out to the heart.

But the Journey has come to the end.

As we let go of his hand

The angels take their command

From the Father whose watching above

They reach out in His love

Take his hand like a glove

And leading him safely home

With a glimmer of tears

We wipe down from our ear

And a smile on our face,

It does come

We realize our dear friend,

His life did not end

But his journey has only begun

This one we will not see

Until one day we will be

In the hand of the Father above

Giving thanks to the Son

For all He has done

Sharing this Amazing Love

From the heart of your friend

From beginning to End.

Whose watching in all that you do.

Sharing your love from the Father above

It is in us, it is just what we do

I Just want you to know

 It pleases Him so.

To have a flower so strong in His field

Although sometimes

We think are alone

There is a harvest just waiting for its yield.

With much Love LisaMe!

Note: Written To my friend Vicky for her courage in Standing with our friend Jackie to the end of her journey with Jorge her husband who had been sick many years after their young son died. May God Bless you both and reward new life through us all to continue the call. To save the lost until they find their way home.

(11-1-20100

Do you know someone who has stood with a friend.. watching, waiting and praying for a loved one .. with a terminal illness.. knowing they soon will be going homeward to heaven .. If so.. I pray that this inspiration will touch you .. receive it as your own.. even though it was written for my friend Vicky D ... I believe God gave me these words with life.. so that they could continue to live and reach out to touch across this universe to encourage others who stand in this place.. it is not easy watching and while a loved ones dies ... We can feel so helpless... as we pray.. knowing only God knows the whys ... we cry. we morn and then we move on ... That is God's plan .. He then take that loved one by the hand.. and they are ushered into the heavens .. Our homeward promiseland .. Those who have faith.. trust and believe.. death is just another season of life we all must face one day .... some sooner than others.. some by a tragic accident... some with an illness .. and some in old age .. whatever the stage... I believe it is not by accident but by design.. I believe God knows when we are born... when we will die .. I believe we live out seasons in our lives .....

Seasons

My season is coming full circle... as most things do..

Back to the Beginning of You.. (myself)

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 into Spring!..

Life is growing from me! .. LisaMe!

 

At The Top Of The Stair

Agreeing with you in Prayer

Standing on the Stairway to Heaven
Until one day we will see
The Mansions God has promised for you and for me

What good would it be
If we were not there to share it with all
For isn't that God's call
To go out into the world and speak of His love
Given to us from above

He came here to earth a savior, a king
Giving life to us all eternally

We need to bring as many with us as we can
For the time of God is surely at hand
He wants us to pray, to love, and to touch
Every person we can
He needs us so much
He's left us a job
So important to do
Its is sharing His Love in All that we do

Thank you for listening
While I pour out my heart
The anointing is strong
His Holy Spirit is glistening within my heart

It is so important to know that people care
When you are going through trials and are filled with despair
But what an awesome thing to take it to prayer
Where we meet with God in Heaven at the top of his Stair

With much Love LisaMe!

Gods Blessings (In the Winter Season of our Lives)

Praise God from whom ALL Blessings flow

Even in the winter season

When the grass is covered with snow

When the things of life have no rhyme or reason

There is one thing

That I know that I know

God's Blessings will

Eventually flow

God's greatest gifts are just before us

It is not what is seen that is eternal

But those things that are unseen

We are to keep our eyes on the Father above

Who in His time brings all things to pass?

Just like when the snow melts

And beneath is the green grass

That has been protected

And nourished from the snow

God's plans may be hidden for a while

But in His time His blessings will shower down

With His unfailing love

He was never far from us

Only covering us with protection in the

Winter season of our life

Love LisaMe!

Heart Felt Prayer

My Heart
By LisaMe!

Bringing my heart back towards God
I did not realize how far I strayed
Until I looked back to yesterdays

How did I slip into this crack?
I want my life! I want it back!
To get past satan’s attack

What was I thinking?
How could it be?
When at my words satan would flee.

How did I get so weak?
That those three words
I could not speak.

My heart is broken
I cannot hide
These feeling I have deep inside.

Did I not know
His heart would break?
Lord, I am willing to do whatever it takes!

I know He loves me
He did not leave
It feels as though it I just can’t breath

Forgive me Lord
For what I have done
Forsaken you and your Son

It is to my Lord
That I will cleave
I tell you satan you Must Leave!

It’s by His Grace that I am saved
I bow my head with my heart raised

And offer to God all of my Praise!
