The Word of God1

There is Power in the Word!
Power to create
a new world out of the ashes of the old;
to bring order out of chaos.

There is Love in the Word!
Love that binds
one heart to another;
that creates an new humanity.

There is Peace in the Word!
Peace that passes all understanding;
that creates a world free of war,
with citizens free of fear.

There is Justice in the Word!
Justice which is God's best beloved;
allows individuals to see withe their own eyes,
and know of their own knowledge.

There is Life in the Word!
Life that survives physical death;
that carries the soul beyond material existence
into the Abha Paradise.

Gratitude List For 2 Ayyám-i-Há

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for fresh brewed hot coffee on this beautiful late winter morning.
          ...that it is nice enough to leave the front door open.
          ...for the banana that I had with my lunch.
          ...that "Soulmates"  was honorable mention in "Poetry Newsletter (February 27, 2019)" .
          ...for the several merit badges I received today.
