Blessed

Blessed                   for Mary Jean Golden


Matt 5:3-5

Blessed are

The poor 

And all oppressed.

All are God's people

And love and blessings

Are theirs.


Matt 5:6-9

I Blessed are

All people of God

Who seek the best

For all around them;

For always

They are Children

Of God.


Matt 5:10-12

Blesed are

Those who do not

Turn aside,

Even when

The world intrudes

And tries to make them

Go another way.

Rejoice, for God

Is always with you.

Do You Sèè

Oh God,, you are my Parent

And I cannot see you. 

But I have a question for you ;

Do you see me? 

It's an important question for me 

Because so many walk by

And do not see me there.

Do you hear me?


An answer came 

Soft but very clear,

"I see you always 

And when you 

Are feeling down 

I am near to comfort you.

And yes,I hear you 

Talking to me. "

Sing Praises

To hear your songs.
Let us all sing
Praises of God!

John 16:20-22
Come and see,
Come and hear,
That there will come
A great day
When all our mourning
Will be turned
Into great joy,

Joy that no one
Can ever take away.

Romans 8:35-38
And then comes
Our greatest joy –
That there is
Nothing or no one
That can ever
Separate any of us
From God’s love
Shown in Jesus

A Ñote to All

A note to all -  I hate Parkinsons!!   I hate the slow deterioration of the body so it won't do what I  want it to do.  I hate the shaking that sometimes doesn't show on the outside.  I hate the  fuzzy feeling I get in my brain.  I hate the slow response of my arms and legs when I try to do something.   I  hate the idea that I  someday won't be able to do for myself.  I  hate that one day I will not be able to remember things or people who are important to me.  I hate that one day,   I won't be able to write my poetry.  I hate Parkinsons and what it does to a person.  I would not wish this disease on anybody,  not even my worst enemy if I had any.  I H ATE  PARKINSONS!!!   My friends and family,  pleasegive to find a way to fight and cure this disease!!8


I have found out what it is like to have Parkinsons and not :be able to get the medicine you need.  You can't do much for yourself not even go to the bathroom. And sitting upright can be a trial.  And even feeding yourself can be a problem. You loose all independence and have to have help with even the smallest things that you do.

Touch Me

Touch me, 

Hug me, 

For I am alive 

And I need

 Your touch,

Your hug,

To affirm

My life 

That I am loveable.

Drinking the Jòy

Sitting with the family
That God has given me
Knowing that He is here,
Loving me.
DrinEnjoyingking in the joy
That is there,
Because God
Is in the midst.

Drinking in the joy,
God’s presence,
Then spreading the joy
To all around
That all may know
That God dwells
Among us
And loves us all.




Drinking the joy,
Feasting on God’s love
For even me!
Wherever I turn,
He is there,
Loving me
Every day.

  What more
Can I do
But to love Him?
For He is everything
To me. 
And His love
Strengthens
And upholds me.
 H
Drinking the joy,
Feasting on God’s love
For all people,
Letting the world know
Of God’s love for them.

A Musician


A Musician        


Yes, I met Jesus.  I had become crippled and could 

not play any of my instruments.  I had heard about 

the healing powers that Jesus had and thought that 

it was worth trying to find to see if I could be healed.  I 

wanted to get back to playing my music. I didn't even 

have to ask.  I was there in the crowd listening to 

Him teaching.  Quite a fellow, I'll tell you!  I like 

the way He teaches!  But then Jesus stopped teaching, 

and went through the crowd, touching people and healing 

them.  Of course, I watched where He was going and 

put myself near where He was.  He stopped and talked 

to some folks nearby, then looked at me.  And before 

I could ask Him - "Please heal me," He reached out f

and touched my shoulder.  I could feel the warmth 

coursing through my body.  And then all my brokeness 

was gone, healed.  Both inside and out! Of course, 

since then, I have been a follower, a disciple.  And 

I find that I am now composing my own music, in praise 

of God, who sent Jesus to us.  It's so easy, especially 

when you know that God loves you!
