Hidden, patiently waiting

August 30, 2016 by Michael Sliney

7EE686B2-50D1-4C91-8676-A093BA29DE1F
Hidden…patiently waiting,
Heart-ache…but still pulsating,
Humble…not dominating,
Hopeful…never abating,
Hearing…and concentrating,
Healing…and motivating,
Are you communicating?

First impressions

August 30, 2016 by Michael Sliney

DA30A1DD-7E8D-47D7-9EEC-750C593DFF06
First impressions, judgement calls…
Super fit or out of shape,
Mentally quick or too fake?…
Stop, reflect…for goodness sake!
Broaden your mental landscape!
Knock down those prejudgment walls!
Employ Faith, not just eyeballs!

How does Jesus see that soul?
His glance cuts through the outside,
Seeing pain that people hide.
Scars that were marked classified,
Won’t make you disqualified.
He looks to heal and console,
Is this your focus and your goal?

Lean on Christ!

August 30, 2016 by Michael Sliney

EEFA9D5A-A7FD-4C9B-B7B9-88FBDC04745C
Barren trees, grey skies…dark, cold days,
Cabin fever, marked malaise…
Rats racing in an endless maze…
Acts of kindness with little praise…
Colds and flus, dreary moods…so what!
Dig deep, find love…deep in your gut,
Fight back hard…break out of the rut,
Lean on Christ! No “ands, if or buts”!
You gotta love Jesus…that’s what!

Wounded doctors

August 30, 2016 by Michael Sliney

Wounded doctors still have patient care,
Wounded parents still meet children’s needs,
Painful heart-aches…they do not share,
They smile…although they’re in the weeds.

God’s mercy touches deeper chords,
When traveling through weary souls.
God’s glory…no human rewards,
True peace…with Christ at the controls!

Never shut down on rainy days!
Please let God love through you…OK?

Is Christ at the center?

August 30, 2016 by Michael Sliney

E88BBE0A-7AD0-425D-89D5-D472CA910E14
Is Christ at the center? Or off to the side?
Do you seek him? Or happen to coincide?
Is he your quarterback? Or “riding the pine”?
Is he number one? Where does Jesus allign?

With Christ at the helm, your ship will not capsize,
Satan will lose, if he is your close ally,
Please make time for Jesus, press close to his heart!
He patiently waits, it’s not too late to start!

Selfless or selfish

August 30, 2016 by Michael Sliney

76B043F6-9249-4180-9EB7-AA473AC58F81
Grouchy,gloomy and grey…bitter, blowing breeze,
The sun is hiding…the leaves fell off the trees,
It’s flu season, cold season…whining and wheeze!

Selfish or selfless? This is the battle line!
Are you going to let your little light shine?
Carry your own weather! Follow God’s design!

How does Jesus look at you?

August 30, 2016 by Michael Sliney

287797F0-E4AA-4AEA-A90A-91A1EAB31190
Man looks at appearances,
Christ zeroes in on the heart.
We highlight our grievances…
God treasures his work of art!

Can a mother hate her child?
Does she only see the stains?
What is mentally filed?
Virtues and qualities reign!

How does Jesus look at you?
Mother’s hearts give us a clue!

Marital marathons

August 30, 2016 by Michael Sliney

99F32564-287D-45D8-A444-3D833259AA76
Marvelous, marital marathons,
Bearing burdens, with blistering brawn,
Fervent fidelity, dusk to dawn,
Clutching with care, this blessed baton.

“Love until death” is their antiphon,
Patient prayer allows them to push on,
Spiritual battles, worse than Bataan,
Worn at the finish line…woebegone,
Forgiving and giving…”denouement”!

Shining souls

August 30, 2016 by Michael Sliney

86AC4786-9FD9-4E81-AA0E-D2705B90EDA0
At times, raising kids can be challenging.
They have ears, but are always battling,
Pushing parents’ buttons, rattling…
No respect, is maddening!
But even dirty coal,
can become diamond.
What is your goal?
selfless love=
shining
souls!

Creation calling

August 30, 2016 by Michael Sliney

EC86EDA0-CF33-4A34-9871-D5FE44B1BCF2
Chickadee’s chirping,
Blue Bonnett’s bursting,
Sun’s sublime, soothing,
Wisdom whispering,
Creation calling:
God loves you so much!!!
