Thanks for the Gift of Life!!


Creations of the heart are blooming like flowers in the field.

The wonders of nature are entwined everywhere.


My spirit overflows. Footprints of the piper are sealed

In the pristine dunes while the echo of the wind

Unfolds whispering melodies.

Dreamland begins to roam freely...

Hear me coming as I go.

I am the wind, the trip into the mist, the sea...

Hear the echo of voices, the heartbeats of waves crushing

On the sand, as I leave my footprints on the land.

Hear the roaring thunder, for my crying is just a reminder.

Please, let the world be and set them all free!!

Let Me Introduce Myself...




Let Me Introduce Myself... This is "STARRY" a long time ago...
The year 2010 will soon be over. The year 2011 is soon coming up with its new adventures and surprises in our future, if there is any ahead. The past is history, the future is uncertain, unknown and certainly not promised. So, we only have today. Let's make the best of it!!
I am so happy to receive new followers with new wonderful faces decorating my artistic world with new poetical inspirations. I am truly motivated and thrilled!! It makes me feel that whatever I write is worth to read or it's meaningful to others.
Lasting moral values are my final goals.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself, in order for you to get to know me a little better. I travel overseas bringing my stories and deeds to every corner where my soul reaches. I used to teach American English to foreign learners overseas. I am not teaching at this point. My writings and other good deeds are taking my full time activity nowadays. I am a Christian mother and a grandmother. I am also a Conservationist of Our Natural Environment. I am an Animal Lover, and an Animal's Advocate. I defend human rights and animal's rights. I follow my dreams for my remaining time on Earth, in order to fulfill God's plan for me in this world. I try to make the best of every day, for today is the only day I have in my hands. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Every single day when I open my eyes in the morning, I thank the Lord to grant me a brand new day, a fresh new starting point with new good things to do. I love to help others in need. I am not the same lady that I used to be many years ago. I have changed to become a mature woman, a mom and a grandmom. I struggled for survival so much, especially when I was younger. I consider myself a brave woman...
I was a SURVIVOR, a VICTIM OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, MENTAL & PHYSICAL ABUSE & CRUELTY. When that happened, I had my only child, my baby daughter who I personally saved and protected in order not to become another victim of domestic violence and child abuse. I have developed a way to reach the world with my words out. I use my poetry, stories, songs, thoughts, inner reflections and other topics of interest to reach people's hearts out there and make a difference in someone else's life, especially if there is a victim of cruelty or domestic violence involved. I try to make a difference for humans and animals as well. Well, that is just the beginning about me. You may read my other blogs, if you want to. They are all posted in my profile, if you wish to visit all my blogs. When I have something meaningful to say, I write a post in all my blogs. I am also an active member of three American Forums. Two of them are Forums for Poetry, Stories and Christian Music. The other one is a Christian American Forum with Bible Studies and other wonderful related topics.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY DEAR READERS!!
ALL THE BEST,

HAPPY NEW YEAR WITH A NEW POEM FROM MY HEART!!



HAPPY NEW YEAR WITH A NEW POEM FROM MY HEART!!
Dear Readers,

I am so pleased to open up my blog and see so many new wonderful faces following my little poems and writings. You see, I do not post every single day. I only do it when I have something interesting to say. Plus, my other blogs are also waiting for me to write a new post. Believe me, my dear readers, I wish I could visit and post more often. I travel overseas. I am a Christian, a conservationist and a missionary abroad, so that I am not always available in the computer for I am working out in the field with the things that I do. I am so glad that you have joined my blogs.
I have so much in my mind that I would love to say and share with the whole world, although it is not always possible. Have a blessed day with the Lord!!
I shall return!! Until I write something meaningful to read again...
Happy New Year to all my dear readers!! A poem for you from my heart...

"I believe in you."

I admire beauty of valleys, rivers and mountains.
I believe in the sky high up above.
I believe in God, our Creator.
I believe in the power of love.
I believe in you.
Believe in me, in the love I hold and what I do.
I believe in the blessing of you.
Your love means the whole world to me.
Your friendship is reaching eternity.
Everything I do, I do it for you.
One day when I'll touch Heaven,
I'll be thinking of you.
You are a real blessing into my life!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EACH and EVERYONE!!
STARRY DAWN.

"Song of the New York whistles."




"Song of the New York whistles."
Shadows are swiftly set all over me...
Old memories of the City won't set me free.
Your memories won't leave my mind,
Even though with the passing of time.


I remember walking uptown on 5th Ave.,
Working downtown on Chambers Street.
What a breathtaking view of tall towers!!
I stand in awe, and get down to my feet.


All outstanding towers and the Central Park
Give bright lights even when a day gets dark.
Palisades Mountains make the perfect frame on sunset.
The Hudson River adds a lovely flavor,
One of the best City views that you can get.
The wind whistles as the Winter blow.
I just want it for you to know...


Refrain:
Believe in you!! Believe in you!!
You've made it in New York,
The City that never sleeps.
If you get to your blues,
She won't ever turn you down.
Now, you're up and around,
New York is your kind of town.


Listen to the City whistles...
Whistles of yellow cabs all around,
Whistles of City buses on the roads,
Whistles of Railroads up on the ground,
Whistles of trucks filled up with many loads.
Listen to the City whistles!!
Listen to the sound of New York!!
Can you hear the heartbeats of New York??
Watch the unforgettable picture of New York!!

"The Lord's unconditional love."




"The Lord`s unconditional love."
Unfolding the love of our Lord,
Like a rose petal, so pure, so fine,
I can feel His touch in my life,
All His love that is all mine.
I was once, on a death row.
Jesus pulled me out from doom
And gave me another chance to live.
Life is certainly too short!!...
So I dream and live.
I love the Lord, our Savior!!
He gives me time to share, and love to give.
My bluish dreams, I expose,
Like unfolding a rose.
I'll be the queen of hearts.
So I'll transform this world
In endless full bloom of arts.
The haze -once- covered the sky
Like a big white wall.
The misty day got transformed
Into a dreadful storm.
The curtain of heartless rain
Penetrated to the windows.
I watched the view in awe,
Looking puzzled to the rainfall.
So, right then in prayers, the Lord I called...
I live one day at the time.
I use my freedom, for the hours are all mine.
This is the way I have survived.
God set a plan for me long ago.
This is how He has kept me alive.
I call the Lord in prayers, so all my foes go...
Glory!! Glory!! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!

Dear Readers,
I am trying to separate my poem in different stanzas, yet the blog does not let me do it, and I do not know why. Therefore, it all comes up as a whole block of words. I do not compose poems like that. I always separate each verse, each stanza with a line or two in between, so that my message would come up much clearer.

"THE NEXT DAY..."


"THE NEXT DAY..."

The sun in the early Spring came out again like a glowing candle, a gorgeous star sparkling in the distant horizon.
This poet, who is presently living abroad, envisioned once as if she would be watching her New York family like a satellite wrenched from its orbit, parting, or drifting away; like a feeble seed loosened from its parent stem...
At last, the day turned out to become a joyful one, when the poet´s family decided to pick up the phone and make an overseas call to say:
"I love you!!"
"Happy Birthday, dear mom!!"
"Happy Birthday, dear grandma!!"
Thanks God, my dear family showed some love!!
These simple words seem so easy to say, yet they should infer a meaningful content.
Thank you for visiting my site and reading my posts!!

"A DAY IN MY LIFE..."

"A DAY IN MY LIFE..."

When I woke up early this morning, my four cats were by my side as usual as my only company in my room. I walked to the kitchen to fix my light breakfast, which would be a cup of tea with a couple of cookies with homemade jelly. At that moment, I felt a strong energy glowing by my left side, and when I turned around to glance at it, I saw the whole presence of my dear mother. She held my left arm, gave me a big hug, and said:

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DEAR DAUGHTER!!"
Then, my mother´s image vanished into thin air. In fact, she was the only one who wished me happy birthday, because no one else did.
My mother came straight from Heaven to remind me that she would always care for me no matter what. I miss my dear mother so dearly!!
My birthday is a lonely day without her, just a day in my life, or another day, or another blow...
Thank you for visiting my site and reading my posts!!

"ONE SONG."



"ONE SONG."

One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam can light a room.
One candle can wipe out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey,
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.
One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what´s true.
One life can make the difference,
You see, it´s up to you and me.

"Hear me coming as I go..."


"Hear me coming as I go..."

Creations from the heart are blooming
Into inspirational verses like flowers in the field.
The wonders of nature are entwined everywhere.
My spirit overflows gazing upon the heartbeats
Of sea waves crushing on the shore.
Footprints of the piper are sealed in the pristine
White sand dunes while the echo of the wind
Unfolds whispering melodies.
Dreamland and horses begin to roam freely...


Hear me coming as I go, hear the echo of voices,
The heartbeats of sea waves crushing on the sand,
As I leave my footprints on the land.
Hear the horses coming, hear the roaring thunder,
For my crying is just a reminder.
Please, let the horses be and set them all free!!

"Story of the Fire in our Place."


"Story of the Fire in our Place."
We live in a tower apartment building on the top floor overviewing the city lights.
The other week, I was composing a new poem in the computer room next to our dear furry friends, the cats. I had the PC screen, the speakers turned on and tuned to one of my favourite Radio Stations with Gospel music. Everything seemed peacefully until I smelt something burning.
I rushed to the living room and noticed a heavy cloud engulfing all corners. Then, I dashed off to the kitchen and shuddered in panic when I saw the dazzle of fire coming out of the electrical power source on the wall. I managed to open all windows, doors and called out for help.
I said, "Fire!! Help, please!!"
Some good neighbors came out from their dwellings and helped us out. They called the Superintendant of the building, the Police and Fire Department. Some of them arrived all at once extinguishing the savage fire. They asked me questions about the event, and thanked me for being a good neighbor and a brave woman to have stayed with my animals at all times protecting them. They said that some folks would have only cared for themselves and left out the place on fire trying to save their personal lives. I said, "It would be selfish not to help your loved ones or others in need. If you love somebody, you should care for your beloved ones. I will never leave my loved ones behind. That is for sure."
Thanks God nothing bad happened to us, and we continued with our daily lives in peace.
Praise the Lord!!
Thank you for reading!!

"Dreaming of good old Tennessee."





"Dreaming of good old Tennessee." (Poetic Lyrics)

I ask the Lord to grant me
What I have never had,
To meet all my daily needs,
Strength, Health, Joy,
Peace and true Happiness.


In time, I have found all the answers
To my prayers and much more than
What I have asked for.
Oh!! My good Lord!!...
My dreams came true for me,
In the form of living in good old Tennessee.


Dreaming of living in good old Tennessee,
I could see the flocks of songbirds, creeks,
Hills, valleys, mountains and green lands.
I could hear the Country Music singing on my mind,
While I am walking in dreams in good open farms.


The nectar from the blossoms
Grows in all flowers that you´ve sent.
I like nice sunny days,
The gloomy days drag me down,
But You Lord, always uplift my heart then,
When I am down.


Refrain:
Picture youself living in a cozy wooden cabin
In a pristine valley with rolling hills all around.
Yes!! That is my good old Tennessee.
Thank You, Lord!! My good sweet Lord!!
I can now- count all the many blessings,
You´ve granted the dreams for me,
And the showers of shining love
To live in good old Tennessee.


Let me tell you, folks about my best friend Who told me
Old stories about country music and horses in the field.
We watched his old western movies;
He gave me shelter and took care of me.


We spoke about Elvis and our favourite stars.
I can´t go on without saying
My best friend is now dwelling in Eternity afar.
I know he´s watching me when I tell you
Stories of good old Tennessee.

A warm log cabin with a blazy fireplace
In the Great Smoky Mountains,
In the pristine forest with deers and bears all around,
I see myself dreaming of -into my old blues and tunes,
Melodies and the blending of all nature´s sounds.
Sing Refrain again.

"OPEN LETTER TO ALL CHRISTIANS."


"OPEN LETTER TO ALL CHRISTIANS."


Have you ever felt homeless or abandoned even with a roof over your head?
Have you ever felt hungry after having your meal?
Have you ever felt cold even with warm clothes on your body?
Have you ever felt unloved?
Have you had the feeling of loneliness or emptiness even among a crowd of people?
As I grow older, I may recall old memories feeling in this way many times in my lifetime even in my childhood. The Lord rescued me from dying for sure...
In a nutshell, search for the Lord who is dwelling inside your heart. You are His child, and He´ll never leave you hungry, or alone in the cold, or abandon you homeless or unprotected. He is your real fortress, and your rock of salvation. You are not alone; He is the best friend you´ll ever have. God loves you so much, He will show you the way and guide your life to the right place!! Talk to our dear Lord in prayers, and you´ll begin to see miracles happening in your life for real.
I let you all know that I am praying to the Lord for complete healings for each and everyone who is hurt in one way or another. I share this day a piece of bread and a glass of water in order to nourish our spiritual needs for the wisdom of our souls.
Peace be with you!! In God´s garden, I am just His humble servant, and a messenger for the Lord. He is the only One who give me strength to keep on going. I share this day an inspirational reflection that I wrote a few years back...
We know that the fruits of the spirit -our inner wealth- are:
Hope, kindness, love, peace, humility, patience, tolerance, compassion, gratefulness, gratitude, wisdom, joy, meekness (a humble heart), the gift of giving, a helping heart, and so on.
We also know that the qualities of the character -our inner wealth- are:
Honesty, respect, responsibility, commitment, loyalty, trustworthiness, ethics, unselfishness, hardworking, cleanliness, self-assurance, control of oneself, and so on.
Are we being good fruits for our dear Lord today??...
Are the qualities of our character blend well with the fruits of the spirit??
Ask yourself that question!!...
Christian lives should be filled with good deeds.
"We shall know them by their fruits." Jesus Christ said in this Bible Verse. (Matthew 7:16)
Let us now, self-examine our own conscious within our inner self and see if the fruits of the spirit blend well with the character. So, if the answer is yes, we are in balance with our own self and with the principles of a Christian life. Trust God in all circumstances, for He is so good all the time. I believe that God is in control, and He has a plan in our lives. Count your blessings one by one, not your troubles. Find joy and peace in your heart that will make you grow stronger. Strength and peace come first from within the spirit.
It is so important to consider the way you carry yourself at your best, and project your own image to others. So, this is the way how people may see your worth, as a whole person. Achievement is the goal to pursue for a successful life.
Find a quiet moment and talk to the Lord in prayers, which is the best communication with the Lord, confess to Him what is wrong with you that may offend Him, repent, ask Him for forgiveness of your sins, ask for reconciliation with the Lord, which is so important, and promise to correct the wrong doings and make it better for the next day. So, in this way, the slow process of learning in our lifetime will make us a bit more perfect each day to the eyes of the Lord. Let us become an example of life for others to follow in the same path of a righteous Christian life.
Have you ever thougth about this??... So, think about it now!!...

Let us pray!!
Dear Lord,
Thank You for this brand new day that You are giving to us, for being with us this day and for the many blessings You grant to us!! We are sorry, sweet Lord, that we have said, thought or done things that were not pleasing You. We ask for Your forgiveness. Grant us Lord, Your strength and peace that pass all understanding, and only You and You alone can give. Give us healings, where there is mental of physical illness. Give us a happy heart to show others our inner wealth. Inside our heart, it is only You, Lord, shining through like a glowing beam over a colorful rainbow. Please, dear Lord, be with us in all circumstances, protect us. We love You and need You, Almighty Heavenly Father. The Glory is all Yours. We trust You and believe in You, dear Lord Jesus Christ. You are our Savior, our fortress and our rock of salvation. Please, show us the way with the Light of the Holy Spirit, show us where to go and guide our footsteps. Lord, give us a joyful heart, where there is hurting somehow. Grant us Your unconditional love, touch our hearts with Your loving arms and lead us into Eternity, sweet Lord, if that is Your Will. God´s Will be done.
Your Heavenly love will embrace us until the end of time, as You promise. Lord, make us an instrument of Your peace. We are Your humble servants in this mortal world. As we now, come to You with quiet personal prayers, we ask that You will listen to our needs. Thank You, Lord for being with us at all times!!
In Jesus´most precious and Holy Name, we pray. AMEN.
Praise the Lord in all circumstances!! God is good all the time.
Thank you in advance to all of you for sharing with us this day!!
 
Kind Regards,
 
Starry Dawn.

"The lady beggar." Tales from overseas.





"The lady beggar." Tales from overseas.
 
Life is not a bed of roses, nor a bowl of cherries. At times, it takes a brave heart in order to face the hard blows that one has to endure, for life is not easy if one has to roam out there looking for a place to stay and something to eat...
Author´s Notes: After my separation from my child´s father in New York, I had no other choice but to return to my mother´s home in order to provide the best care for my little daughter´s sake. Unfortunately shortly after my arrival, my mom passed away.
I indeed, spent many years abroad teaching American English to foreign learners after my dear mom departure from this world into Eternity. I had to encounter raw experiences trying to survive in the asphalt jungle, so that I had been exposed to seeing unpleasant things in my surroundings as an eyewitness.
Being a long-suffering patient of asthma and allergy, a victim of mental cruelty and a savage, appalling domestic violence with a long history of abuse, and facing the fact of becoming a single parent in New York at a young age, I had to struggle to make ends meet and provide the best care for my only child. I did my best for my beloved ones, I must admit. My dear family left all their belongings and properties to me making our lives a little easier at last.
Then, immortal sores and memories have been left alive in my heart.
My parents and aunts helped me with the upbringing of my only child. So when they grew into an old age, I took care of my dear father and aunts in their illness and elderly years until the Lord called them to His Heavenly final home.
At times, I saw some spiritually dead people bragging about their high morals, but they had done evil deeds for real, instead of proving their honest hearts with good examples of trustworthy Christian lives. We should become the perfect role model to follow with our example of living.
Now, the tale of the lady beggar begins...
This story happened abroad and a few years back within the enchanting world of mystery tales. While I was walking down the street heading for a bookstore, which only sold English books, I noticed a young sorrowful woman sitting at the old Christian Church footsteps. To my surprise as I was passing by, I realized that the lady beggar held a young blonde child in her arms. She also had a big sign by her side asking for help for her children; she had no job, and they were homeless from an impoverished land in Eastern Europe. Her little child was weeping loudly and hugging her mom tightly. "Poverty is so cruel," I thought to myself...
I could not help feeling sorry for the young lady beggar who held her little child in her arms, and I remembered us that we could have ended up in the same way. Their entangled story entwined deep mysteries that we would never know.
Yet, I kept going on my way to the bookstore to buy some books. English had been my bread and butter over the years as an ESL teacher and writer. I had always loved reading and writing with passion.
On my haste, I still found exquisite reading material in that special bookstore. There were thousands of books to choose from. Anyway, I bought just a few ones like short stories, sonnets, poems and some plays. I set out of the store with my hands full and a smile on my face, because I had found what I was looking for. Actually, I would have bought more texts if I had more money on my pockets. My students were pleased with my teaching; so I kept on learning to excel their expectations. I loved to study and I had always been a passionate reader. My book shelves were always crammed with books of all sizes containing themes of general culture, novels, poetry, short stories, essays, dictionaries and all sort of scientific and school material. Moreover, I also kept an old Encyclopedia in my personal library at home just to have all my books handy. I thought that I would have more books than anything else, since reading had always been my real passion.
Later on, I left the store and crossed the road. At first glance, I noticed that the beggars were still there at the footsteps of the old Christian Church. I could not help feeling sorry for them again. They really moved and touched my heart. As I walked by the sorrowful lady beggar, she spoke broken words loudly just like a songbird. The little child was a pretty girl with blonde hair. She was weeping tears from her young heart. I figured that she must have been hungry. So I decided to approach them gently trying to soothe the little girl´s tears and calm her down.
I said hello to them first. Then the little girl glanced at me, and I noticed she had beautiful green eyes. So I asked her mom about her child´s age.
"Three years old", she replied.
Then I exclaimed, "Wow! What happened to you and your family?"
The lady beggar began to tell me her story in brief with a broken foreign accent.
"We are homeless from an impoverished land in Eastern Europe. Our government sent us to this country in South America for working purposes and a good home to live. Unfortunately, my husband died. Our government don´t help us. Now, we have no food, no home and no money to survive. I have two children to support. This one is my three-year-old baby. My other blonde daughter is nine years old, and she is also begging across the street by the bookstore. I can´t send them to School, since we need to beg in the streets all day long for food and shelter. My children will become illiterate. You see lady, we ended up unwillingly as homeless beggars in the streets in a foreign land. There is no justice in this cruel world."
Wow!! I was so astonished at her sad story that I would only thought in giving away all the money that I had left on my pockets. The little girl with beautiful green eyes and blonde hair reached out for the money at once. Her young mother said: "Thank you! You are a well-mannered lady, and God will bless you for your kindness!"
Before I left, I asked for her daughter´s name.
The beggar said, "Hope, her name is Hope."
While I was leaving, I said: "God bless you too! The Lord Jesus, our Savior will soon help you and your children. Trust Him with all your heart! You still have Hope. You are both standing by His Church. He is the only One who will never leave you alone or disappoint you. He will give you strength and show you the way."
Then, I walked away. In fact, I had never been able to clearly understand about the story of their shattered lives. Perhaps, their government must have done a dreadful deal with the local government where they arrived.
I thought to myself, perhaps, they might have been victims of beggar´s trade with foreign countries and other weird, strange things.
Slavery is an international crime, I believe.
Now, I still wonder. The memory of the sorrowful lady beggar with the baby Hope in her arms would never leave my mind...
Unfortunately back at that time, I had seen many other foreign lady beggars from Eastern Europe even holding little blonde babies in their arms, and having a big sign by their side asking for help in the same manner than the first one that I had seen before in the busy streets in a South American land. Some of them were sitting by Church yards, others on the sidewalks or by supermarkets where many people gathered.
One day, I had stopped seeing them in the streets. It looked as if they had vanished into thin air or disappeared from view.
How strange!!...
This true story happened abroad and a few years back within the enchanting world of mystery tales.
Thanks for reading!!
And don´t hesitate!! I shall return sooner or later.
God bless!!

"Friends are Angels sent by God."



"Friends are Angels sent by God."
(Author Unknown)

Have you ever found a friend
That makes your heart glow
Someone who is wonderful
You feel honored to know.


Someone to laugh with perhaps even to cry
Someone whom you love no matter what they do
Someone who looks up to you when you don´t know why
Someone who just seems to understand you.


Someone that you think of day and night
Someone you pray for as you go to bed
Someone who shows up when the time is just right
Thoughts of them are always in your head.


Someone who shares with you all your ups and downs
Someone who appears when ever there is a need
Someone you share smiles with replacing all your frowns
Surely you must know, God planted that seed.


These seeds God has planted here on earth
Were planted deeply in our friend´s heart
They cannot be measured by earthly worth
Only by God´s values placed here from start.


Value those friendships, honor their decisions
Respect their feelings, never make demands
Never try to make their dreams your revisions
Hold their love tightly in your hands.


Never get angry if you don´t talk to them each day
Trust in friendship, send them a piece of your heart
For a heart can still feel loved even though it´s far away
This is how God intended love to be from the start.


Place their memory in your heart and mind
See them for what they really are
Continue to love them no matter the time
Friends are Angels sent by God from afar.

HAPPY VALENTINE´S DAY!!

I truly want to make the very best of my life. I appreciate and celebrate life. Love is the best feeling in our hearts, and the best way to show how much we care for others. Love God above all, love your family, love your parents and your grandparents, love your friends, love your wife or husband, love your children, your grandchildren, love your sweetheart, love yourself, your neighbors, love the world, love the wonder of God´s creations, love the animals, love your natural environment and so on. Become a true lover of the Universe, and show with your actions how much you care!!... This is my message of love to all readers on Valentine´s Day.
Enjoy and celebrate life today, and say "I love you" to all you truly love!! This day, I´ll include inspirational reflections to ponder.
We know that the fruits of the spirit -our inner wealth- are:
Hope, kindness, love, peace, humility, patience, tolerance, compassion, gratefulness, gratitude, wisdom, joy, meekness (a humble heart), the gift of giving, and so on...
We also know that the qualities of the character -our inner wealth- are:
Honesty, respect, responsibility, commitment, loyalty, trustworthiness, ethics, unselfishness, hardworking, cleanliness, self-assurance, control of oneself, and so on...
Are we being good fruits for our dear Lord today??... Are the qualities of our character blend well with the fruits of the spirit?? Ask yourself that question!!... Christian lives should be filled with good deeds.
"We shall know them by their fruits." Jesus Christ said in this Bible Verse. (Matthew 7: 16) Let us now, self-examine our own conscious within our inner self and see if the fruits of the spirit blend well with the qualities of the character. So, if the answer is yes, we are in balance with our own self and with the principles of a Christian life. Trust in God in all circumstances, for He is so good all the time. I believe that God is in control, and He has a plan in our lives. Count your blessings one by one, not your troubles. Find joy and peace in your heart that will make you grow stronger. Strength and peace come first from within the spirit.
It is so important to consider the way you carry yourself at your very best, and project your own image to others. So, this is the way how people may see your worth, as a whole person. Achievement is the goal to pursue for a successful life. Talk to the Lord in prayers, which is the best communication with the Lord, confess to Him what is wrong with you that may offend Him, repent, ask Him for forgiveness of your sins, ask for reconciliation with the Lord, which is so important, and promise to correct the wrong doings and make it better for the next day. So, in this way, the slow process of learning in our lifetime will make us a bit more perfect each day to the eyes of the Lord. Let us become an example of life for others to follow in the same path of a righteous Christian life.
Have you ever thought about this??... So, think about it now!!...

GOD MAY BLESS YOU ALL!!

"MESSAGE TO ALL READERS."


"MESSAGE TO ALL READERS."
 
I send a message to all readers from my self-confinement...
Like hedged with iron bars, plaster and stones, and plagued with a poignant grief of health issues, my feeble body is unable to scribble anything for a while. You see, my limbs are swelling.
Perhaps, hastening to rest in peace, while I gently pray in silence...
I apologize to you all.
Thank you in advance for reading my blogs and for your kind understanding!!
God bless,
 
Starry Dawn.
