Dream Sharing

There comes a time when naps are due.
It’s much more fun to share with you.
You keep me warm, and with you here,
I know there is no need to fear.

When I grow up I want to sleep,
Beside someone that I can keep,
Free of worry, and of fear,
Someone who will be as dear.

I learn love at Mother’s knee,
But others teach the world to me,
“Give Unto Others” is her rule,
But I learn sharing in this school.

Come To Me

Read: John 6:30-40

I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger. —John 6:35

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 30-31; Philippians 4

---

When Jesus lived on this earth, He invited people to come to Him, and He still does today (John 6:35). But what do He and His Father in heaven have that we need?

Salvation. Jesus is the only way to have forgiveness of sin and the promise of heaven. "Whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:15).

Purpose. We are to give all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength to following Jesus. "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me" (Mark 8:34).

Comfort. In trial or sorrow, the "God of all comfort . . . comforts us in all our tribulation" (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

Wisdom. We need wisdom beyond our own for making decisions. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, . . . and it will be given to him" (James 1:5).

Strength. When we're weary, "the Lord will give strength to His people" (Psalm 29:11).

Abundant Life. The fullest life is found in a relationship with Jesus. "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

Jesus said, "The one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out" (John 6:37). Come! —Anne Cetas

Jesus is calling to those who are weary,
And He is calling the thirsty ones too;
If for the Bread of Life you now hunger,
Hear His sweet voice saying, "Come." —Hess

Jesus invites us to come to Him for life.

[JustAmy]

Good Morning!
Anyone hungry?

Have a perfect Friday.

Within Me


Scarlet lips as red as a rose,
perfect hips in a seductive pose.
On the outside this is what I may be,
but what about looking at the heart within me.

Long black hair, surrounding my face,
baby blue eyes and full of grace.
This is what most men chase,
but my soul and feeling cannot be erased.

Long, untouched legs with a snug fitting skirt,
a short and sexy tube top shirt,
I take my looks with little pride,
for what I care about is what's inside.

They say that these looks are a sensation,
that I am one of God's best creations,
But all I really want is for you to see,
all the good that is within me.

-- Kathleen Sheppard

Have a Happy Birthday, Colleen!
Hope your day is wonderful.

Prelude


Amid the barren fields I wander,
All is quiet as the Lady sleeps;
But today there is a humming
As Father Time slowly keeps

All things running smoothly
Until the Maiden should arouse
And look upon His face once more
And gently venture out.

I sense the time-honored quickening
Of root, stem, leaf and branch;
I tense for a moment as I realize once again
The World Egg is about to hatch!

For though She rises slowly
From Her barren bower
She carries both seed and promise of
The Earth Mother in Her finest hour.

The sap is once more rising
Out running Winter’s hand,
Soon the Earth will wake again
Amid singing throughout the Land.

The ewes are heavy in their lambing
The Earth is soft and warming,
It won’t be long until the robin sings
And the honeybees will be swarming

Each tree will wear the promise
Of Leaf and bud studding them green
Until the world explodes in color
Such beauty is always seen

As the harbinger of the new Spring
Imbolc’s sweet prelude
To fair Ostara’s Dance of Life
When the Worth is again made new.

And so it goes just how it went
In ages and years gone by
And creatures great and small will stop
And bow as She walks by.

The Lord of the Greenwood is coming
The forest is fuller every day
Soon He will emerge once more
To dance and sing and play.

She waits for Him like a blushing bride
Amid the fields still sleeping
Waiting for Them to walk again
The fields given to Their keeping.

-- Gaia Ivorywitch

Happy World Egg Day!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Very nice.

[OESY]

I like your graphic better than my poem which is more appropriate, it would seem, to spring. Alas, there were few choices.

[JustAmy]

Happy Birthday, Cowboy!!
Sorry that it slipped by yesterday without me noticing.

Hope it was a good one. Have a fabulous Friday.

[MeekOneGOP]

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Friday! TGIF!!

Have a cup while you Freep !

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Meekie. Looks to be a great day in Texas and in Fresno today.

Have a fabulous Friday.

[JustAmy]

Happy Tube Top Day!!

Hope NetNanny is still asleep. :)

[JustAmy]

Happy World Egg Day!!

[JustAmy]

Good morning, OESY.

Thank you for the poems. Poems about spring are always in season. :)

I will be gone most of the morning. Marissa is on her first field trip with her pre-school class. They are going to the Fresno District Fair. She was excited this morning. She gets to ride the school bus. :)

We are going to run a couple of errands without her today. It will be a very weird day to go to a store without her asking for everything she sees. :)

Have a great day.

[MeekOneGOP]

It's cloudy here but headin' for 81 today.

I am looking forward to the debate tonight.

You have a great day, too, Amy! :^D
