My Calm
orchidee said:
There\'s a sort of line of thought too, when we may suddenly think and say \'But there\'s people starving in the world\', though we may not have given them much thought otherwise. It can be good to think of the poor though.
At some times it may be a bit like Judas though, when a woman broke a pot of expensive perfume and poured it over Jesus. He thought it was wasted and said it could have been sold and money given to the poor. But then it adds \'This he said, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was the treasurer, and stole from the funds\' Doh!

Yes, I fuss sometimes of folk enjoying themselves at church. But we (me included) need not feel guilty over it. We know we\'re not practising escapism from troubles, but that we are rejoicing in Him.

Waiting

I really like it. It let\'s you know that fear has a purpose and one needs to exploit fear and turn it to one\'s own benifit in life

Waiting
Dev Parth said:
In the quiet of anticipation, I stand,
Time\'s gentle touch, like shifting sand.
Eager heart, a patient serenade,
In the art of waiting, dreams are made.
Nice one Brother.

Safe Place
orchidee said:
Do I always believe His love to me - to us? Whether I/we feel, remember, consider, are consciously aware of it, etc, or not?
There\'s simplicity in profundity (or in some profundities at least), and vice versa - profundity in simplicity.
Here\'s one example in this poem, at surely the highest level - or greatest depth, we may say.
I\'m \'gushing\' a bit here maybe! lol. But it\'s a vital theme surely.
