Migraines ~

Light flashes,
lines zig-zagging
arms go limp
eyes starts sagging.

Dizzy and woozy,
room is a spinning
migraine headache
is just beginning.

Close my eyes,
go with the flow
sit back and watch
the light show.

Throbbing starts,
take migraine pill
try to relax
and just be still.

Shut off lights,
turn down sound
as head goes . . .
pound, pound, pound.

Rockin and reeling,
from the pain
oh, how I wish
to end this migraine.

If you suffer,
just like I do . . .
please let me know
so I can pray for you!

“Beloved, I wish above all things
that thou mayest prosper
and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth.”

I’m Getting Old ~

My mind is still young,
my body’s getting old . . .
God keeps refining me
from silver into gold.

My strength is weak,
my hips they ache
God’s still trying in me
His image to make.

My hair is thinning,
my knees bump and knock
God continues to work
on me against the clock.

My fingers are swollen,
my toes are bent
God always reminds me
why His Son was sent.

My spine is crooked,
my ankles are swollen
God is letting me know
soon . . . I’ll be golden!

Zechariah 13:9
King James Version

“And I will bring the third part through
the fire, and will refine them as silver
is refined, and will try them as gold is
tried: they shall call on my name, and I
will hear them: I will say, It is my
people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.”

Be of Good Cheer ~

In this fallen world,
we’ll have pain and sorrow
but Jesus came to give us
a brighter tomorrow.

Oh, there’ll be days of defeat,
trials along with persecution
but Jesus came to overcome
the turmoil and confusion.

He knew we’d have troubles,
many worries and cares
but He came to comfort
and our burdens He does bear.

We’ll have grief and tragedy,
illnesses and disease
but He came to restore
and to set our minds at ease.

In this fallen world,
we’ll have pain and sorrow
but be of good cheer . . .
Jesus overcame our tomorrow!

John 16:33
King James Version

“These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

I’m Praying!

Lord, tonight I’m feeling sad,
melancholy and depressed
and I asking You to hear
the solemnest of my request.

My prayer is for the ones I know,
and for those I have never met
but each of them are on my heart
and their pain I can’t forget.

They are stricken with disease,
illness of every kind . . . .
some take over their bodies
others destroy their very mind.

They are hurting in places,
I have never felt before
but I can feel each twinge
and their hurt I can’t ignore.

Lord, please, please, please,
shed on them Your healing light
bring them Your peace and comfort
hold them to You ever tight!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To all my friends who are sick, ill, or full of disease . . .
my heart tonight is very heavy. I am praying for each of you
and I will not cease. May our heavenly Father be with you and
comfort you. I love you and will always keep you in my thoughts
but, mostly in my prayers. God bless and be with you . . . Deborah Ann
