~~~ WHERE THERE IS NO VISION ~~~

where there is no vision, the people perish

where there is no mision, the people stay away

to accomplish anything today, i must see it ~first~ in my mind,

and say the w
ords of faith! ~ "out loud"

and then, the victory is mine!

get up! and go outside! and walk around, for awhile ! with Jesus!

and, the scales will fall off of your eyes! He is still saying

( Who will go and work in my fields today? )

Don't even think 'tomorrow' ?  or  'maybe'?

but say( or sing as i do   daily

'out loud'

softly and on my knees

~~~~~~~Have thine own way, Lord!~~~~~Have thine own way!~~~~~Thou art the Potter~~~~~I am the clay~~~~~Mold me and make me~~~~~ After ~ Thy! Will!~~~~~While I am waiting~~~~~Yielded~~~~~and still!

when i'm on my knees

i'm taller than trees

and, when i look way ~ way ~ up!!!

it seems ~ all of Heaven! ~ is coming to   me!

all fear runs away

when i'm just in His grace!

oh why? do we tarry?

thinking ~ "later" i will pray?

I~ I'M JUST A LITTLE OLD FASHIONED ~

Well, I guess I'm just a little old fashioned



Well ~ I guess I am just a little old fashioned,

For, I still love the old fashioned way!

Because ~ once there was an old fashioned preacher

Who preached a sermon! and the Lord saved me!

And, through the years, we all read from this precious! Bible!

And, the Lord has saved all! in my family!!!!!

"CLEAN UP AROUND YOUR OWN DOORSTEPS"

                                                                                                                                 

CLEAN UP AROUND YOUR OWN DOORSTEPS

BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOR'S  DOORSTEPS

AND YOU'LL HAVE A SWEET NEIGHBOR

AND YOU'LL HAVE SOME SWEET HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF!

"MAKE ME A BLESSING ALWAYS!"

When I look in the mirror ~ I see Jesus' Face!

And, I say 'Today, Dear Lord ~ Don't let me cause You any disgrsce.

Dear Lord, help me to help the ones You would help

AND MAKE ME A BLESSING ALWAYS!

And, Dear Lord, help me to finish the chores  that I should finish today,

AND MAKE ME A BLESSING ALWAYS!

I had been raking leaves around my back doorsteps, and front doorsteps,  resting a few minutes and I was sitting in Mama's metel rocking chair from the 60's that Doris had given me, and the

first line of this JeanSongIONL  came into my mind ~ I thought, I can't write that down ~ I don't see Jesus' Face when I look in the mirror ~ and then came the second line into my mind ~ and the rest of the poetry. I researched in the KJV Holy Bible and found some Scripture that made me realize that this was all about THE MIRROR OF GOD'S WORD. ~
