Leaning



When my heart is full


of troubles, aches and trials


I lean more on You








Gardening



I didn't know then:


when I put the seeds to bed


birds would flit and feast











Late Lambs



I had two late lambs


doctor gave solemn warning


but God knit them well












Simple



My life is simple


no awards hang on the wall


but I am loved









Looking Forward



I do without now


patient in His love and care


I know Heaven waits











All



So many things abound


they cannot come close to God


my joy is in you










Refuge



An arbour of green


sweetest song and fruitful peace


A refuge is He













Love Land



How lovely this place


a love filled land so peaceful


where God counsels me










Jesus Joy




In joy filled beauty


my plate and cup abounding


because of Jesus











True Wealth



My wealth is hidden


in golden heavenly home


and within my heart











Sparrow



Soft little brown bird


gently trusts what You have said


he is seen and fed












Building Up



My home needs building


not wrecking and tearing down


It needs Jesus' love












Lighthouse



This little dwelling


has heavenly potential


to radiate love











Call On Him



My God will answer


in the cool, quiet morning


noon, or end of day











All I Need



I quiet busy thoughts


and lay aside my idols


satisfied at last

Battle. A Free Short Story.

Battle Evil swarmed and swooped thickly throughout the valley. Jonathan's sword slashed to the left and right. Sometimes, it arched through the air above his head, as infuriated hisses and screeches filled the darkness. To Jonathan's left and right, inky blackness was being pushed back by his companions. Stretched across the valley, they marched on, their swords slashing and crashing through the thick air, and bringing limp scaly bodies to the ground. The bright ones could not stop. Victory was not theirs yet, for the evil hordes kept coming. There were more than ever before it seemed, here at the closing of the ages. Jonathan grimaced as a foul creature landed close beside him. It screeched and bared its fangs in final rebellion. But Jonathan kept on. Supernatural strength coursed through his body, as more warriors joined the battle. They were nearing the far side of the valley now. The atmosphere remained black and grim: the battle was far from over. Jonathan's sword coul...

A September Medley

  Psalm 81:3 "Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day." Trumpet A trumpet sounds: A royal din: Our long-awaited Groom steps in. A joyful wedding  song now plays and we will love Him all our days. *** End Times Tales: Every Little Bit Counts. Lisa's father pointed his teaspoon in her direction as his brows drew together gloomily. "What's the point? There are masses of lost people in the city. What can one girl do? Besides," he added more gently. I don't want you getting hurt. People are just plain mean these days." He waved the spoon as Lisa quietly placed her books in her backpack. "It's not the old days anymore. Just like the Bible says, people are proud and boastful; scoffers, arrogant..." "I know, Dad, but I have to try. It's what Jesus wants me to do. There's so little time left before the Rapture." "Like shovelling sand with a teaspoon." Her Dad grumbled. Lisa shook her head...

The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story

  The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story Dear Readers, Here is a gift from me to you. "The Searching" is a story which has been puttering around in my heart for awhile. It nearly didn't get written though, as I was a bit unsure as to whether I could get it to work. But God is faithful, and He gave me both the inspiration and the words. There were a few times when I nearly gave up, but now, I'm so glad that I didn't. It's one of my favourites, and I hope that you enjoy it too.  *** Previous cover The Searching: A Novella *** By Alison Lawrence *** Copyright Copyright owner: Alison Lawrence. 2024 All rights reserved.
