More Sunday Thoughts and Scribbling During Church from Valentines Day to Mid-May

 Valentines Day is special, and it should be

In fact, it should be everyday

Because my love for you is constant

Never wavering from day to day

Always constant

Making everyday Valentines Day

Each day to love you more and more

Each day to be your Valentine

******

I would ask you to be my Valentine and have a place in my heart

But you are already my Valentine and forever in my heart

I Love You

********

Everyday I say my prayers

I pray to God each day

And on this special day of love

I have a special prayer to say

Praying for You and for me

That in our hearts Love will always be

********

I am a man of many faults

I am sure you are aware

Often having lustful, carnal thoughts of you

Even in church . . .

********

Today in church we sat close together

Perhaps unusually close

Maybe because it was cold

But regardless of the reason

It was a nice feeling, sitting close together

Causing my heart to beat a little faster

Causing me to hope and pray

That our hearts will draw closer

Causing our love to grow

And that we will be close forever

**********

Quite often when I am all alone

When the rest of the world is sleeping

I find myself in deep meditation

Being drawn deeply into self contemplation

Which brings me to my knees

Where I pour out my inner-most thoughts

As i contemplate what Jesus taught

Feeling the Holy Spirit teaching me

Opening my heart and my mind 

So I can understand and see

And understanding I am never alone

Knowing that God is always with me

*********

With reverence I gaze on you

As you dress and get ready for church

And with reverence I thank God

For blessing me and my life

And for having your love

An for you being my wife

*********

A thought came to me last night

While I watched you get undressed

That i am truly a man so blessed

And so I thanked Heavenly Father for you

Giving thanks for you

Making love to you with my eyes

***********

Life is simple, or is it?

One thing for sure is that thing do change

Yes, life may be simple

Yet, it can also be strange

Each day can be different

Holding both challenges and blessings

Which are often manifest in most simple ways

The Spirit speaking to both heart and mind

That life doesn't always have to be a grind

And life, just as truth is often just simple

If we just open our hearts and minds

**********

As time passes and I get older

There of times that instead of feeling weak

I feel myself  growing bolder

But mostly life and time and aging have been good teachers 

Teaching me to repent and be a better man

Teaching me to hold my thoughts and tongue

Without showing or feeling anger and not getting bent

Just knowing when to speak or not has blessed my life

Knowing when to strike or turn my cheek and knowing when to be meek

An so it goes, as the older I get (as a now senior fellow)

Life just gets better and better if you can learn to be more mellow

And I have learned that time passes regardless, so I just have to get used to it

And smile more
