Why Redemptive Rhymes

  Happiness for Joy This I've learned in life to enjoy What is eternally there always I willingly trade happiness for joy In happiness moments life does deploy Joy remains in the heart without delays This I've learned in life to enjoy For that rooted deep hard to destroy Where troubles can't reach what joy conveys I willingly trade happiness for joy To happiness in moments come and go It's only evident when things are well Not giving the soul a chance to grow For it's deep within that joy does dwell Where to surface happiness remains In never reaching the heart to compel As joy transcends circumstances in gains This I've learned in life to enjoy When happiness leaves my joy retains I willingly trade happiness for joy                     ©Doris Elaine

 Here two poems from "I Am Sowed, By God's Word " of the Growing Strong in The Lord series Part One . Also, now in My Faves  series.  Romance Vs. Love There is a difference, romance vs. love Where love does endure the span of time Romance fly's away as a dove Our world making this our climb But temporary thereof Love last a lifetime Romance vs. love Love is prime Above Time   Thoughts : Although still learning and no way claiming to be an expert; but, from my own experiences and talking to others, romance the world does provide and love the Lord does provide. While romance is temporal, love endures, is eternal and given from above.  "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." (1 Co 13:13, NKJV ).  Thus, romance gives temporary moments, where love endures beyond time and in most case through many circumstances. All of  Corinthians 13   tells us a great deal of what love is  (vs. 4-6 ) , and or me

 Here a poem of Thanks to our Lord from "My Form Created".    My Way Back Home No matter where my steps did roam I've always felt your presence there In helping me find my way back home For the bad roads I've traveled through some You've helped me be able to bear No matter where my steps did roam Upon my head you gave a spiritual dome That lead my steps down a path of aware In helping me find my way back home Although in my past darts where thrown You my Lord guided them off my path Those moments making clear your presence know My life had seemed to be on a warpath As to the struggle I endured was long But in this you stirred me clear of wrath And now my life with you is strong No matter where my steps do roam It's crystal clear with you I belong Thank you in guiding my way back home       ©Doris Elaine Thoughts : Looking back on my life I see the many times the Lord intervened making sure I knew if not for Him I would not have made it through. To me, it's

  Thanks on Thanksgiving Day There's plenty to be thankful for, I'll say For You have provided all my needs As I gives thanks on thanksgiving day I know without a doubt You do care For the love You've shown me exceeds There's plenty to be thankful for, I'll say You’ve taken my doubts and stored them away For now into older my life precedes As I give thanks on thanksgiving day You've stretched my faith through the past year I know now there's plenty to give thanks for To this You've made absolutely clear I'm amazed to the love and care You've pour I've known through this year with You I belong To this my life now I greatly adore Although this past year some things went wrong There's plenty to be thankful for, I'll say For You never left my side all along As I give Thanks on Thanksgiving Day         ©Doris Elaine

  Thank You Friend In this world it's easy to loose oneself A friend in times as these helps greatly Thank you for helping me find my true self Never giving up faith in yourself Even when it seems things innately For I know it's easy to lose oneself It has become a blessing of our-self As in friendship this be known lately Thank you for helping me find my true self Although at times things hard to understand I know now in love and care it was And now in true friendship our self's stand Didn't know in myself these flaws When you helped me through to better Making our friendship a worthy cause Now I write this poem as a love letter For in the world it's easy to lose oneself I've now lovingly become your debtor Thank you for helping me find my true self                            ©Doris Elaine

  Here a poem from "Growing Strong in The Lord, Part One" now in My Faves book. Sometimes it seems you wait and wait for something to happen in your life when the Lord is actually moving things along to make that thing you want to happen so badly in Him assuring, first, it happens in His timing and second, it happens for the best of all involved. Patience here is a virtue in letting Him make what ever you are praying for happen in His timing because His timing is the best time.  It Just Wasn’t Time When disappointed it wasn’t your time Rather, a connection or a place to be made You don’t always see it ahead of time As in sometimes the moment does fade Because it just wasn’t time   Thrust in the Lord God, you’ve prayed Hope comes to you meantime As He provides you not to be afraid Even when you’ve waited a lifetime   Your way He makes just in time No need to ever be dismayed He will make your wait as prime Because it just wasn’t time   Thoughts : When it seems you are

Here a poem from " I Am Sowed, Part One" , now in My Fave s book.  This is a  Noet Poem, a  very simple to understand form. It is a nine-line poem that starts at line one with nine syllables and decreases one number in syllables with each line; so by the time line nine is formed it is one syllable word. You can catch more forms in my Rhyme  It Out   Project!  two book series. This poem is one of my favorites as it notes the difference in love and romance; and believe  me, there is a difference.  Romance Vs. Love   There is a difference, romance vs. love Where love does endure the span of time Romance fly’s away as a dove Our world making this our climb But temporary thereof Romance vs. love Love is prime Above Time   Thoughts : Although, still learning and no way claiming to be an expert; but, from my own experiences and talking to others, romance the world does provide and love the Lord does provide.
