Beyond The Decorations

The Christmas season goes beyond twinkling lights, festive decorations, and exchanging gifts. For me, it’s a time to remember that I don’t have to carry my burdens alone. I am invited to be still and trust in the unwavering truth of Christ’s love. This love transforms, uplifts, and brings true meaning to the celebration of Christmas.

Tears From My Soul

Tears fall, my heart ablaze,
The war rages on, day after day.
As humanity turns on itself,
The light is fading in our souls

The devil laughs, his grip grows tight,
Rejoicing in mankind’s fall.
Compassion dim and frail,
Where kindness seems to fail.

How has man allowed darkness to reign?
Why do we heed its call?
Each choice, each right, an excuse to be cruel,
Hearts are growing cold, forsaking the rule.

I weep, my heart cries out in pain,
For mankind to let the light shine in,
To open doors for heaven’s reign,
And let true peace begin.

Stop the darkness in your heart,
Be still and end the killings,
Let love and mercy lead the way,
And step into the light.

Why I Smile

A smile is a candle burning so bright and comes naturally to me, healing my soul. I extend it to others because it promises comfort and completes a moment. Smile often and watch how it positively alters fate around you, among your friends and loved ones. Your smile reveals a light for all to see, and embrace a heavenly gift to let your heart shine.

I smile for Jesus, my true light,
In His love, I find pure delight.
Through every trial, He stands by me,
His sacrifice set me free.

I cast my fears upon him.
For Jesus, my Savior,
My soul’s delight.
I smile for Him, for I am set free.

Spreading Love’s Light

I often sit down to reflect on the activities happening around me, whether at my job, among my family and friends, or in the world. It’s astounding how much toxicity exists in the world, yet amidst it all, there are still people who love genuinely.

If only we could cultivate more love in people’s lives—compassion for the less fortunate and a desire to encourage and support those who desperately need it. Love can change the world, one act at a time. Making it our mission to spread it far and wide and creating ripples of positivity can touch countless lives.

Great is the light of love, 

shining bright in the darkness,

Rippling through my soul, 

extending to those who seek happiness.

Dark forces swirl, 

seeking to consume the hearts of men,

But trounced upon by those who offer love again and again.

Seeds in The Wind

In the past, I battled with thoughts of negativity and self-doubt, allowing these seeds to take root and flourish in my life. But now, I often reflect to ensure that I am sowing seeds of love, compassion, and faith. Sowing seeds with intention holds immense significance. Just as a farmer carefully selects the best seeds for planting, we must be intentional about the thoughts, words, and actions we cultivate in our lives.

Like dandelion fluff in the breeze,
Seeds of gloom dance with me,
Sown by hands unseen,
In my heart, I sowed the dark seeds.

With every gust, a prayer takes flight.
Guided by stars in the darkest night,
Across mountains high and valleys low,
Seeds of grace I seek.

For what I sow, I shall surely reap,
In the harvest of faith, our souls will keep.
For in the journey of faith, we find,
That we are but seeds in the wind.

In the book of Galatians 6: 7-9 it is written: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”
