WHEN ONE WRITES A BLOG

By Kathleen Martens

November 18, 2015

 

I imagine when one writes a blog,

Then one should have something to say.

I sit here viewing this small blank screen

But no words in my brain come to play.

 

Though I am thinking of what I’ve done,

I wonder if it would be an interesting read?

If I could have but one magical thought,

Perhaps somewhere it might lead.

 

I asked my husband to write it for me,

But he profusely and vehemently denied.

No matter what, I think he’d refuse,

Unless perhaps I had died.

 

So I decided to do it myself

As I enjoy writing from my heart.

So I thought this little poem,

Would be a great way to start!

 

I guess the above poem would aptly be referred to as “filler”.  But it worked.  It started my creative juices flowing.  I so enjoy being home all day without going anywhere.  And that was today as it is my day off from the gym. However, when I have a quiet day, part of it alone, I have less to tell about.  And what I have to tell about may not be interesting to all.  What’s new?  I cooked.  Remember, I have five more farm boxes being delivered tomorrow and I have not yet made a dent in my last five boxes.  Another batch of soup just happened to grow in my pot today, AND IT WAS GOOD.  I created it from a former recipe I used except with different ingredients.  We had it for dinner and believe me, it really was good.  I also baked six winter squash, filled with the apples and cranberries, from the recipe I posted in the blog a couple of days ago.  Then I pureed all of it with a little coconut water and made the consistency of applesauce.  Both the soup and the sauce is already tucked into the freezer.  We had some for dinner, AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD!  I first put some unpureed in the dish, topped it with a tablespoon of the sauce, raw thick oatmeal, and walnuts.  YUM.

So today, I was busy from before sun up until now but that is all I did.  So, just a short poem and my short comments above.  I will give you a bonus however.  I will plug in my external drive and pick out a couple of past poems I have written for those of you who comment on enjoying reading my poetry.  If poetry is not your forte I will say Good night and God bless you.  For you who are asking for more poetry, read below.

 

TO LIVE IN HIS GLORY

By Kathleen Martens

April 28, 2014

 

Children of worship

Children with song

A heart with melody

All the day long.

 

With lips of praise

Lifted on High

As on wings of eagles

To glory fly.

 

The heart bubbles forth

With pure delight

As strands of music

In heavenly light.

 

God the Father

The Redeemer His Son

Jesus our Savior

Is planning to come.

 

He will take us home

And finish the story

That we are His

To live in His glory!

 

GRACE

By Kathleen Martens

Aug 4, 2011

 

Tender Love

Not deserved.

From above

Never conserved.

 

Gentle, divine,

Compassion’s gift

Unmerited favor

Without tiff.

 

Generosity of God

Giver of life.

Gift is free

To end strife.

 

Special love

Forgiveness pure,

Clemency as needed,

Salvation sure.

 

 

MY TREASURE IS FULL

By Kathleen Martens

January 7, 2012

 

Daily I adorn my jewels

Nuggets of gold

Pearls of wisdom

Rubies of righteousness.

 

I adorn myself

With love and faithfulness

And bind them

Around my neck.

 

And my Father commands

I bind them

Upon my heart forever

For safe keeping.

 

And jewels are bound

Upon my fingers,

That which I’ve been taught

For all to see.

 

My treasure is full,

My adornment gracious,

For I am clothed

In Compassion

 

Kindness and humility,

Gentleness and patience.

The wardrobe of righteousness

And forgiveness toward others.

 

And over all

The garment of love.

And wisdom

I do not forsake.

 

The jewel of understanding

Lights my eyes–

A jewel to honor and embrace.

A garland of grace upon my head.

 

As I pursue

This esteemed jewel

I am presented

With a crown of splendor.

 

All these jewels

From my loving Father

As I open His word

And write them on the tablet of my heart.

 

(The last poem above is taken from the scriptures)

 

Good night and God bless all of you doubly if you read this far!

P.S.  Wisdom for today:  When you write a blog be certain to save it right away.  I did not do that tonight and lost my entire blog!  However, with a little research and asking my computer “How do I retrieve a document I did not save”, I was given the combination needed to retrieve it.  And I did!
