Mama Red, your words were heartwarming - and startling - because I'm constantly asking God what my purpose is, how can He best use me...it would delight me beyond words to be "a prayer warrior", someone who "carries prayers to God". If that was my sole purpose in life, that would be enough. It's my greatest passion to carry people in my heart to God...the one thing I can do no matter how I'm feeling, what I'm doing or where I am.

Now I have to take this to prayer, because it's sparking something deep inside of me. Both God and I know that I would love and embrace being a "prayer warrior" as my primary purpose in this phase of my life right now. Thank you for your words here this morning.

I've never tried any sort of healing modality, except being prayed over through "laying on of the hands".

Hi sweetie

I definitely see you that way...and if that resonates with you, all the more awesome! In my opinion, and that is what it is, that being your sole purpose now is too amazing for words. And I'm all about finding one's purpose to serve herself and the world at large.

Funny how a single sentence or thought can trigger a whole new way of looking at things. I've had it happen over and over again...in training classes, on this Forum, in online classes I've taken.

Should you be interested in learning about other healing modalities, let me know and I can share. Don't want to force any information on you!

Using these new words: Pray, Love, Enjoy, Christmas

I enter the cathedral to stay,
I want to talk to baby Jesus, to PRAY...

I knew later at home there would be a toy,
That until I spoke to Jesus, I would not ENJOY...

Looking into the manger, there sat a dove,
Looking at the holy child, his eyes filled with LOVE...

Never have I felt less listless,
Knowing that I understand the true meaning of CHRISTMAS...


New words: stockings, ornaments, Santa, presents

stockings, ornaments, Santa, presents


What's that sound at the door? Is it knocking?
Arms full of ornaments, - I peek out to see.
Standing in the snow, with presents and stockings,
Santa yells,"where the Dixen is your chimney?"

New Words
sparkle, begin, chose, magic

Oooh, that was a cute one Edelweiss!

I love those new words
that you carefully chose;
they conjure up visions
of how Christmas goes:
the countdown begins
as the lights sparkle bright,
and childlike hearts leap
at the wonderful sights.
Holly and pine trees,
parcels and bows,
bright coloured candies,
and faces aglow.
The magic of Christmas
whispers its call
to join in the fun
and the joy of it all.

New words:
dance, crisp, echo, snowball

Eagle Heart You could give the Greeting Card business some mean competition!

dance, crisp, echo, snowball

" Little Lady Whoooooo!" - My echo comes back to me!
Singing and yodeling, while down the hill I ski.
The world is crisp and fresh and white,
Skiing is like dancing through-out the night!
Elated and happy healthy and young,
Thank God I've experienced this while I was young.

Now I'm like a snowball, rolling down a slope,
I get bigger and heavier; I drag instead of lope.
But I'm not sad, that's the way it must be,
Living each age, and living it merrily.

New words:

Christmas stories, believe, wonder, stars

They told me Christmas stories,
Back when I was young,
I believed their silly tales,
And always had lots of fun.
I wonder now at the lack,
Of wisdom in it all,
To act foolish 'n gullible,
Or forever tumble 'n fall.
I guess gazin' at stars,
Way up in the sky,
Proves I'm a dreamer,
And a crazy sort of guy.

New words:
Yummy, crummy, ruffles, truffles

I must say, the poems in between my own, are totally awesome!!!

They certainly are Jabber, including yours... They just make me smile. each and everyone.

Oh my its Christmas, and all the foods taste so YUMMY,
I simply can't say no, and have grown a bigger tummy.

All dressed up and wearing my RUFFLES,
I sit happily, munching chocolate TRUFFLES.

Oh my, the next day I'll wail,
as I step upon the scale.

On Christmas day I acted the dummy,
now I look fat and I feel so CRUMMY.

Words: Mistletoe, snowflakes, champagne, struddel

Funny you should say that...I'd love to write for Hallmark or a similar greeting card company. I've often wondered how people break into those kinds of places.

Your poem made me laugh out loud!
