Welcome~

Hello and Welcome~


The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:

1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'Multi-millennial Strategic Plan for Humanity'.

2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.

3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.

4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding, general lukewarmness and outright apostasy among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.

5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.

6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.

7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Gratitude, Un-targeted (Poem)


Like me, have you noticed a growing phenomenon,

Of gratitude that does not a grantor champion?

What’s really going on with gratitude or gratefulness,

That never specifies the giver who showed graciousness?!

 

Wherever something has been stolen, there’s always a thief,

Triggering within the owner a sense of loss and grief.

So could there be a gift without a gift-giver,

Or graciousness received without a grace-extender?

 

Generalized gratitude and gratefulness should be withstood.

When un-targeted, such insults givers who to us showed good.

When by another’s goodness we have been subsidized,

We should always ensure the giver is recognized.

Heads up!

God is the Giver of every good and perfect gift,

But because He’s not visible, we give Him short-shrift. *

Yet for many, whenever life makes them fretful,

Troubled thoughts turn their hearts to things …spiritual.

 

Can you see how onto insults, more insults we pour,

Because of un-targeted gratitude in our core??

Of course, indeed, it’s always good to be appreciative.

Even better when of gift-givers we’re …explicative.

 

So whenever from your mouth or those of others,

You hear some ‘un-targeted gratitude errors,’

Words that only speak of gratitude  ‘in general’,

STOP! Ask to whom, specifically, are you grateful?

 

Let’s help folks do a better job connecting the dots,

Cleansing from our gratitude blemishes and dark spots.

Let’s ensure in gratefulness, givers are respected,

And erase from our lives …gratitude, un-targeted.

Ok?
