GOD PREPOSITION



God through...

God through me 
       is all the other prepositions 
           whirling around within me

God with me
God for me
God above me
God beside me
God in me 
             then bursting forth out of me....

God through me
      into the lives of others
God’s love through me to others 
    and
God’s love through others to me. 

God through...

An Imperfect Metaphor

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY ADULT CHILDREN... "... in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19) I believe in a loving God. A God who is parent, sibling and friend – Father, Son & Holy Spirit - rolled into one. In an imperfect way my relationship with my own adult children is a metaphor for my relationship with God.  GOD THE PARENT:  In my children’s life experience, I am the one who gave birth to them. When I held each one of them for the first time, I loved them completely. They did nothing to earn that love, my love was freely given to them. Like God, the parent, I rejoiced in their birth. I have been there holding them, caring for them, loving them, disciplining them, guiding them, listening to them, waiting for them to come home, delighting in time spent together. When they were children, my primary role was as mother. There were times when they were angry with me because, out of love, I disciplined them working to instill an interna...

SHADOW OF DEATH

REFLECTION ON PSALM 23 Born in the valley of the shadow of death Live in the valley of the shadow of death Walk in the valley of the shadow of death Always looming Always present Possibility and fact Consistent shadow I walk in this valley Placed in this valley To learn, to grow, to become To know, to love, to serve The Creator of this valley. The Creator of this valley and All that is beyond this valley  Calls me into relationship My Creator, God of the Universe, Bigger than the valley  Bigger than all the shadows Cares enough to enter into my l ife. Relationship with the Trinity, God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, God the Holy Spirit  Intense light shimmering in the shadows. Even though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for God is with me. Guiding me through the valley Anointing me with oil My cup overflows God dwells within me  as I walk through this valley  Moving towards dwelling within God for eternity.  Poem by Sara Font...

A NEW STYLE OF PRAYER...

WHAT I WANT..... I woke up at 4am with my friend who is battling leukemia on my mind.  Yes, another friend who has cancer. This horrible disease which ravages peoples bodies.  Some battle it and continue living here on earth while some battle it and it leads them into the next stage of eternal life.  I just lay in bed with my eyes closed, present to the thoughts racing through my brain.  How do I pray?   Do I ask for what I want? … I want her to be 100% healed of the cancer right now and keep on living here on earth!   Then my mind moves to the pious thought  "not my will but yours be done, Lord.” But don’t I want what God wants?  Does God want Donna to suffer and die?  Why do we even have suffering on earth?   My mind races and races through all these questions.  Then an image of our dog, Mac, comes to mind.  Mac is a medium sized terrier who enthusiastically wakes up every morning.  He lite...
