Angel Mercies
Above Gods World united
The heavenly hosts are watching
Great wings enfolding
Swords of pierced light..
Above poised and watching
Angelic swords are burnished
Stayed by Gods grace and mercy
Upon a blighted land...
Angel wing unfolding
Gods tears of mercy falling
Grace and love desending
Upon a hurting Land.....
Prayers as prisms assending
Angelic hosts desending
In translucent light
Claiming powerful victories
Upon a repentant land....
' and then I saw another mighty angel coming..
he was robed in a cloud with a rainbow above
his head, his face was like the sun and his legs
were like fiery pillars.'
Revelation 10 v 1-3.
In times of trial
Andrew Murray:
In time of trouble say,
First, he brought me here. It is by his will I
am in this place, in that I will rest.
Next, he will keep me in his love and give me grace
in this trial to behave as his child.
Then, he will make the trial a blessing, teaching
me the lessons he means me to learn, and working
in me the grace he intends for me.
Last, in his good time, he can bring me out again,
how and when he only knows.
Say, I am here:
By God's appointment,
In Gods keeping,
Under his training,
For his time.
AMEN

For Eternity
How I long for the day when this world shall see
Mercy Truth and Justice sent from God above
For he knows the way that are steps have trod
He sends a lamp to guide us, to send us on our way...
To a new tommorrow and beautiful today....
Steps that we are taking shall in time be weighed..
By Truth and Justice for all Eternity......
Angel Tears...
Sometimes I think the rain from Heaven...
are as Angel tears... weeping for Gods mercy
upon this land of ours....
Sometimes we are helpless in our search
for LOVE but we know Gods mercy shines
down from above......

Iraq this dire war
I have been thinking of my thoughts on this
abysmal war....
I did not agree with the concept when we went in!
It should have been sorted over Kuwait over 10 yrs
ago....
We reap what we sow don't we?
The situation is just getting worse & worse....
Our top milatary commander has finaly spoken out!
Most people agree with him....
Still many of our young men are there....
I was concerned at the time that 'no forward
planning had been given to it!' ie civilians children
etc.,'
As usual the politicians .us. with respect...
Had thought it would be ' in & out'...
I was in the .us. in the late 60's and well
remember the Vietnam situation.... like many
Americans do!
I pray we will pull out as soon as possible....
How naive was that!
I know it is easy for us all to reflect after the situation.....
Although we value our friendship with the .us.
Our culture & values are quite different...
Things are not as black & white as they suppose
Can I use that term in this terrible pc society.....
For one thing :we don't have the death penalty...
our judicial system tends to be less severe along with prisons etc.,
Enough of my thoughts on it!
Only God can help in this terrible situation.....
A Friend
While walking in our town I met a
young man who was giving out
mags for a project in various places...
He turned out to be Isralie...
we went for a coffee & chat...
He is now in Mozambique with a
programme...
The sit appears quite dire..
He is also learning Potugese.
Please remember Daniel in your
Prayers...
Such a lovely young man....
If you would care for more info
