The Waiting Jesus
By: Maxine M.

Nearly everyone has considered Jesus as a baby, the Holy Christ Child
The obedient Son with a quiet gentle Spirit…meek and mild
The full power of God, UNDER CONTROL in a human body compiled

And the bible reveals Jesus as teacher, healer, brother and friend
In the form of a servant, the Creator of the Universe had broken lives & bodies to mend
He washed His disciple’s feet saying ‘from now on let THIS be YOUR trend’

He’s represented as the compassionate Shepherd holding a little lamb on His arm
The benefactor of children and all their youthful qualities that charm
Predicting WOE to anyone who would dare to harm

We’ve seen Him become agitated & aggressive, but in RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION
Seen weeping over Jerusalem and rejoicing with Mary & Martha in their elation
At times He was the weary Jesus needing solitude, He also knew hunger’s gnawing sensation

We’ve seen a praying Jesus, a stern warning Jesus, Jesus declaring to be God’s Beloved Son
Sighing over follower’s lack of understanding…always wanting a sign to be done
The inviting Jesus…ALL invited, come follow Me, exclusions none

At Easter we saw Him as the loving, forgiving, suffering Savior
Bearing ALL the guilt & shame of OUR rotten sinful behavior
Then as RISEN Lord, no longer bound by time, space or closed door

So all these faces of Jesus were seen as His earthly mission He’d fulfill
But have you considered “the Waiting Jesus” sitting at His Father’s side UNTIL?
WAITING until EVERTHING is in place…according to the FATHER’S will

Waiting until ALL who WILL accept, HAVE…all the souls He can accrue
Waiting to drink the “Fruit of the Vine” once again with His faithful few
Waiting to be joined to His Bride, the church…our souls made new

Waiting to claim HIS rightful place as reigning King Supreme
Waiting to unleash His majestic power over His enemy…TOTAL victory gleam
Waiting to JUDGE those not in the “Book of Life” or part of His Heavenly Regime

So, are you tired of waiting? Waiting for His Glorious Appearing one day
Tired of the world’s vicious, perplexing, seemingly endless fray
Are you restless, puzzled about what YOU see as a needless delay?

Well, don’t grow weary in WAITING because Jesus is patiently waiting too
And the reality is He’s been waiting a LOT longer than you!
Waiting to receive all the worship, GLORY, praise, honor that HE is DUE!

Mother's Day by: Maxine M. (this is cute) Our first parents lived in a paradise of ease Their original days were without toil, doing as they pleased Enjoying God's garden of bountiful, fruitful trees There was nothing to fear, as all the animals were tame As they came one by one for Adam to name The perfect marriage, there was no one else to blame The ideal life, but one thing they both never knew Was the loving touch of a Mother, as not from childhood they grew Of that special bond from child to Mother, they had no clue A Mother hadn't warned, "Don't talk to that snake" "He's not what he seems, he's a phony and a fake" "If you listen to him, it will bring sorrow and heartache" So Eve raised her children without Mother's advice Labor pains and discomfort were disobedience's price A Mother certainly would have made her think twice When the question "why do it this way?" came around She couldn't reply, "It...

WHAT DID JESUS SEE? by Maxine M. The world saw Peter as an unlearned fisherman, nothing special at all Simply mending his nets, hoping today would yield a big haul BUT what did Jesus see? He saw the one whom He'd call "The Rock" The one to found His Church, the leader of His flock The world saw Levi as a dreaded tax collector Lowest of the low, a traitor, considered a Roman defector BUT what did Jesus see? He saw him as Matthew with a loyal heart, faithful and true Knew he would be useful in the ministry he was to do The world saw the Pharisees as superior, righteous, ceremoniously clean Loving to stand in public, praying just to be seen BUT what did Jesus see? He saw them as hypocrites, fools, blind guides Saw them as well-polished tombs, but inside rottenness hides The world saw Saul as an enthusiastic, young Pharisee filled with zeal Persecuting new Christians, their newly found joy to steal BUT what did Jesus see? He saw him as Paul, a specially chosen vessel, a sinne...

Childlike Faith By: Maxine M. A short time ago, a long-time politician was laid to rest The last of the patriotic brothers…in America, their lives they’d invest People lined the streets expressing grief, paying tribute & honor with considerable zest A crowd gathered on the Capital’s steps engrossed in this somber affair But did you notice the small children quietly playing without a care? Just having fun, making faces at each other while parents were unaware Wiggling & anxious to be on with life…shed those “good” clothes that must stay clean Unconcerned what “Teddy’s” passing would bring to the political scene Confident & trusting their parents would keep life safe & serene For children are children in spite of color, nationality or religious creed Where prejudice hasn’t been formed, childlike acceptance will intercede They’re refreshingly innocent…not yet carrying our burden of ‘will I succeed’ T...
