Autumn catches us unaware,thoughts of winter suddenly there.A time of dying in the earthbefore the dawn of Spring’s new birth.Trees quickly change to golden hue,leaves fall gently on morning dew.Leaving a blaze of colour there,an endless carpet everywhere.Swirling softly in Autumn breezeas round about our feet they tease.Till every branch is blank and bareno signContinue reading “Autumn”

Rain brings a dark and dismal day,making everything cold, damp, grey.The sun and stars all fail to shine,dark sombre clouds they hide behind.Wind drives the rain against the panesthen turns, and beats it back again,with cold wet hands and rain drenched feetall quickly pass along the street.None stop to stand or starebut with a sadContinue reading “Pouring Rain”

Come apart;rest awhile with me,Away from the noise and hustle,Content to simply be.Share your regrets, hopes and fears,Your dreams and every need,Give your whole self to me.Absorb my presence,The wonder of my love,Then you will learn of me.Filled with my peace,Restored through my love,Be still,At one with me.

Pour out Your Spirit Lordupon each one of us,that filled with peace and boundless joyour lives may reflect your love. Come down O Holy Dove,each day our lives renew,that your concern for all mankindmay truly concern us too.Help us to use the giftsthat you bestow on us,that we may seek to build your churchon earth,Continue reading “God’s Spirit”

Peace on earth goodwill to mencomes the message once again.Christ the gift by heaven adored,man to God by grace restored.Now each day he comes anewgiving afresh, as he wants us too.As part of the fullness of his hearteach of us must play our part.Be defenceless, loving, true,forgiving all as he does too.Only then open andContinue reading “Defenceless, loving, true”

Ours is the victory through Him won,ours is the peace now the battle’s done.Though self-denying is the way,His strength and courage are ours each day.With joy and gladness we perceivethat as we give, so we receive.Steadfast and sure He leads us onto the place where He has gone.With quiet serenity and complete assuranceHe walks behind,Continue reading “The Way”

Mountains and valleys, rivers and lakes.Deserts with dry beds, jungles with snakes.Typhoons and hurricanes, heat waves and snow.Volcanoes and earthquakes; change what we knowSunshine and rainfall, fresh plants soon grow.Decay to renewal, as new life flows.Populations continually grow.Races with language each different to know.Variety of cultures and ways that we live,Various standards to accept, orContinue reading “Our World”

To me, our lives are like a continuous piece of cloth,Made up of so many colours.At times we see rich deep purples and reds,Sombre black, brown or grey,Delicate pastels of yellow, pink, blue or green.Amongst the colours of our life we can seeFlecks of white.The purity of which holds all colours within it.These reflect theContinue reading “Colourful”

Our Father,while shielding and protecting usstill challenges us to grow.Provides for our needs, yet in- stillsthe desire to achieve for ourselves.Teaches by the example of his lifelived in relationship with others.Extols the beauty of the present momentwhile wisely planning for the future.After listening carefully, surprises wonderfully,giving abundantly.Our Father, who loves usand gave His Son forContinue reading “Our Father”
