We Smile. Jesus Laughs

Doug Blair, Kitchener ON. He looks into your brokenness Your heartache and your trials He changes this or whispers that And soon brings on the smiles. We hear that real contrition Is the bedrock of our gain. But do we know He seeks Our joy and victory past the pain? A giving Christ A soothing Christ A singing One to boot And by the Spirit of Holiness He draws out spiritual fruit. It’s love and joy and peace He sends So patient, gentle, kind. Advancing in that meekness rare Straight from the Saviour’s mind. 17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. (from Psalm 34)

The Big C (death met by the craven or courageous?)

Yes By All Means Get Ready I made you to be like me. But stubbornness, lust, men's opinions, self-hurt and self-love got in the way. Time has moved on for you and for your place of occupancy. There is less of it remaining, but I do not want you to get that 'sand left in the hourglass' impression. You are eternal just as I am eternal, and you are jolted as you try to realize it. Because time measurement has been a crutch and comfort of sorts. Children's birthday parties. School terms. Summer sunsets. Wedding anniversaries. Retirement from the Plant. Remembrance Day. A grandchild's High School Graduation...and so on. “Prepare to meet your God”. Amos a farmer and one of my messengers had said this. You probably hear it as a kind of threat and quickly turn your imaginings elsewhere. No need to dwell on death. The timing is in my hands, notwithstanding the seeming turmoil all around. So get to know me wontchya? Love can also be just. Dreaming and actualizing the best.
