As I Am

    As I Am Not sure as to why I'm judged by them But I know to this You don't do Thank You accepting me as I am Don't know from where this does stem For to my being You already knew Not sure as to why I'm judged by them But I know in my heart You do not condemn And to this the love in my soul grew Thank You accepting me as I am Seems most don't care what others think of them And I suppose that to be true However I wonder how this became To not care means actions are not subdue In affecting others due one's actions One's judgment of others then only grew I do care of human interactions Not sure as to why I'm judged by them Cause for most love be my reactions Thank You accepting me as I am          ©Doris Elaine

My Opinion & Experience

  My Opinion and experience in going to church when you have not gone, nor been a member of any church for a long time.  So many long-term church goers-especially those that have been members of a particular church that dates back for generations-can, and sometimes without realizing, make a potential new member, as a new walk in, feel so out of place, so ignorant, and so unwelcoming. As if the one does not deserve to be a member of their church or any other, as far as that goes. Then have the nerve to wonder why more people don't attend church. When often, that person is just looking for a church home to give gratitude to God and to worship him in a church setting and then are treated as if that person is underserving of God's grace or that person having absolutely no idea of whom Jesus is and that person needing to be saved. When many times, that person may have already been baptized and studying the Bible and well understands Christianity.  My Experience : I grew up in a Bapt

Poem - Rejected by Others

    Rejected by Others For in life my sisters and brothers As to my being they denied Because I was rejected by others Judged so harshly by all the mothers That I just wanted to run and hide From life and my sisters and brothers A mustard seed that was grandmother Given me became a light and guide Because I was rejected by others A treasure in disguise became my hope Placed around my neck as a child I grew in hope in life to cope For big and firm the seed beguiled But I lost it in life due the rejection Then my hope returned as I smiled Christians friended me and gave affection Became in life my brothers and sisters Helping me see my true reflection Because I was rejected by others            ©Doris Elaine

A Poem for Thought!

    Almost Doesn't Count So glad to this I took into account As my soul does jump and leap for joy Because I know almost doesn't count To my fleshly shell this world does discount As the devil my soul awaits to destroy So glad to this I took into account Believing the Lord my soul does surmount As I listen to what He does deploy Because I know almost doesn't count I can not ignore His presences in life For in life my joy has increased In knowing with Him I'll be afterlife In this knowing depression has ceased Giving my being an uplifting soul Where in happiness my being released Taking back where the devil did control So glad to this I took into account As with the Lord my being made whole Because I know almost doesn't count          ©Doris Elaine Thoughts :  I hear people say all the time "well, I believe, isn't that enough", and then go about their lives doing what ever, as if they don't really believe, or maybe, better said, as if that's al

A Villanelle Poem for Thought

      What God Says   My past in this day does not sway To where my being currently resides As I believe God, not what others say For He has placed my past at bay Giving me a future that He provides Which my past in this day does not sway And to my salvation Jesus did pay Granting me grace as my soul He guides I'm believing God, not what others say This new birth, the same for others I pray For the Lord has greatly worked on my insides As my past in this day does not sway To the new me, others need not dismay I'm in this to stay as my soul decides In believing God, not what others say Believe it's me now, to this I relay For in my soul His spirit abides As my past in this day does not sway I believe God, not what others may say ©Doris Elaine Thoughts :  People, in particular relatives and/or friends, want to judge one so very much; especially when one turns their life over to God and decides to be the Christian God always meant for one to be. Some have a tendency to look

Poem for Thought - "Chasing Life"

    Chasing Life Many try so hard at the high-life In gains of what they can have here Gamblers chase money, I chase life More important is the after-life For to here we do disappear As many try so hard at the high-life Chasing money can cause much strife Placing one's being in turmoil and fear Gamblers chase money, I chase life It doesn't matter to material I gain For after here I can't take it with me So what does it matter to what I attain In knowing this I am set free From the life of chasing money Because more important is life with thee For life with God will be very sunny As many try so hard at the high-life I'd rather chase life over money Gamblers chase money, I chase life         ©Doris Elaine Thoughts :  Gambling with where your soul will be after this life, in heaven or hell, is something many people don't even think about when they are engaged in obtaining riches in this life. Some even have to have the best of the best; even, all the way down to what

A Poem of Thought

  Afraid of True Love It's something I can barely conceive of As to this thing I'm not that familiar Lord help me not to be afraid of true love In knowing Your love, how true thereof But as for man's love, true unfamiliar It's something I can barely conceive of Definitive love as Yours from above I have not known in a mate; thus far Lord help me not to be afraid of true love For I know under Your gracious care To this unknown thing in human form You will guide my heart in love, if I dare Surely as to my heart You have reform You will give to me Your protection In allowing me to this thing conform Help me to learn in giving affection As it's something I can barely conceive of Having not received it, I need Your direction Lord help me not to be afraid of true love         ©Doris Elaine Thoughts :  Sometimes something one has never experienced can be frightening. That being the case, one can sometimes avoid the experience at all cost. However, many times having not exp

A Poem for Thought - "Worship Who?"

  Worship Who? Only One deserves worship as King And to this know, it is not man In awareness of whom we're worshipping Some give applause to man in everything Praising man in making God less than But only One deserves worship as King Where rich and famous has become a thing Some bow down in being man's fan In awareness of whom their worshipping No matter to whom you are to here We should not bow down placing man above For to here the fame does disappear But with God our life transforms in love Which man cannot provide past this place However, God gives this to man thereof For He cares deeply for the human race As the One that deserves worship as King Our creator gave us hope past here in grace To stay aware of whom we're worshipping          ©Doris Elaine Thoughts :  So often we give man glory forgetting whom is the One that really deserves worshipping. When things go right for us, we or whom ever else is involved, want to give praise to one's self or whom ever else i
