Manatees and Birds

January has flown by.
Today we are getting a taste of spring, 78 degrees.
I am overdressed and have the doors open.
Two outdoor adventures to report.
The first, a trip to Blue Springs to see the manatees.
They travel up into the spring for the warmer water.
We saw over 50.
The sky and crystal clear water were beautiful.
The view included spreading oaks adorned with
hanging moss and ferns.
This week it was a trip to the birding trail on
Cape Kennedy.
We saw herons, egrets, storks and, the most
exciting, two pink spoonbills.
I'm reading a book on the sevenfold Holy Spirit,
Seven Spirits Burning by John Crowder.
This is one of my favorite topics to study.
In the chapter on the Spirit of Understanding,
he points out that this deals with interpreting
the unseen realm and providing comprehension.
With a reference to Isaiah chapter 11.
The chapter on the Spirit of Might points out that
this is the actual energy of God flowing through us,
referencing Matthew chapter 10.
This Holy Spirit flow births realities from the
spiritual realm into the visible realm.
The Bible passage that I am meditating on this week
was referred to at the ladies Bible study I attend
on Tuesdays.
It's found in Joshua chapter 3.
..." the Lord will do amazing things among you".
I expect because God is a restorer of all things.
The following poems are from my journal writings
over the last two weeks.



Change

The power to transform
begins
with whose you are
Then
see what needs leveled
and smoothed
Providing
a clear path
for rivers of joy
ready to be released
as Christ rides
and justice prevails
Uniting
enabling freedom
to create
and co-operate
Pleasure
to be found
in His constant care.


Reality

Look ahead
into the heart of God
into what is beyond
the natural laws of man
See His possible
transformed
from impossible
in human eyes
into crystal clear
reality
As you enter in
be joined
as kingly heirs
A life of faith
made solid substance
through Christ's
all powerful love.


Christ In _

Expectations
When you know
whose you are
and have a clear view
of who dwells in you
Amazing follows.


God is Love

Inexhaustible
love's download
Give
and more
keeps piling up
until
the tipping point
unloads
to change
the world.
