Absolute Freedom--

Does it exist?

Absolutely!

For One

Solely.

He

Supremely

Holy

For who can check the Potters hand?

Over the wise and intelligent

of All the lands

This One Alone

Majestically

Stands.

Relative freedom.

Do we really despise this gift?

Upturn our nose;

Dismiss with ... sniff.

No...we should not abhor this provision

so lovingly

Bestowed

for Our

Happiness,

Protection, and

Blessing.

Though our fore parents,

Through self-determination,

(Ignoring said law)...Sold

Us into #bondage

to others, to imperfections, to weakness,

To #ideologies

wrongly

stressed.

From this

#Oppression and #unhappiness

passed on till #death.

No. . . We Must

Cherish

our Privilege

of #True Freedom

of Expression.

This Being:

ABSOLUTE

Love for

Our Creator

and His Son.

Maintaining

His Law

Cultivated

In our hearts

our Most

Prized

Possession.

Based on: Gen. 17:1; Jer. 10:7, 10; Dan. 4:34, 35; Rev. 4:11.

Gratitude

Gratitude
by Seah Greenhorn
(Poem with copyright)

Do we
measure

Genuine

Thankfulness ...

by the
warm smile,
which reaches the eyes,

by the comforting
strong hug

with a bit of shoulder
and/or
back rub,

by the delighted
squeal
that pierces the ears,

yet
brightens the face,

or the sudden
tears

followed by

the bowed head
in a gesture

of humble grace,

by
Speechlessness,

that we

Hear
Loud and Clear

or a nose-blowing,
gut-wrenching,

sniffling,

hiccupping

Ugly cry--

Appealing

to the heart,
and ever
far-reaching

Into our

Glorious
Sky?

Or

how about
an arm-pumping
bone-crunching
hand-breaking

shake,

a blush,
a bloom,

a

Sudden

drop
to the knees,

or flight
and exit

to an adjoining
room?

Do we
measure

Gratitude

by

Reciprocated

Sharing

of something

to ourselves--
the giver

or them

passing along

a gift--
their giving

to
unsuspecting

others

to make them
feel cheerer?

Is Gratitude

an

Expressed

Remembering

and

Constant

Reliving?

A
Forgiving?

An audible/inaudible

Prayer
of
Thanksgiving?

How

Does
Our Creator

Measure

Our

Gratitude,

Our

Thankfulness

for

Living?
