Storms of Life, Like April Shows

Storms of Life-Like April Showers

April Showers produce Mays Flowers.
Aprils Storms foster life, unscathed and unscorn.
What appears to the nakad eye, of being the cause of destruction;
brings forth life and rebirth, with redemption.

Prayers lead to Renewed Strength and Rebirth,
during the midst of life's storms.
Rebirth leads to enlightement and redemption,
that can save a soul from scorn.

May the storms of life, carry with it,
the new winds of change, for you.
May it send you renewed strength, rebirth,
enlightenment and redemption;
May it quench your thirsty souls
provoked by the storms devestating dimensions.

I was standing at my open doorways edge, in the midst of a severe thunderstorm, today. While pondering upon some of the pictures I took of Aprils thunderstorms and thinking about all the weather events that have occured between April and May-here and around the world, the thoughts of this poem came to me while in prayer for those in Burma & China. I pray that this poem will encourage and Bless all who read it, for what it is. Even when bad things happen to us and those we Love so dearly, good can come from disaster or in the midst of adversity. That doesn't mean we take lightly or dismiss what all devestating & painful events that have occured to harm those we love! It only means we hope and pray with faith, for restoration of things gone painfully wrong in their lives or ours, and look for the lessons we can glean from those events for them and ourselves (All done with unselfish giving,patience, love and an openness to listen with our hearts and Spirit within). No matter what we go through in life, let us Never forget the suffering of our Brothers & Sisters around us, in every part of the world! Love Your Sister, Eagle/Stacey

Dear CountryEagle/Stacy,

your poem and notes accompanying it are the most beautiful thoughts or one of the most beautiful thoughts I have read for a long time. for someone who is going through such difficult times with ill health for yourself and family, for you to write such inspirational words on a site where it can benefit so many others, is just mind boggling. You have been truly touched by the divine and your aura touches many others who can draw strength from it.

I too am going through a difficult time in my life, but not the same as yu.
Everyone's suffering is different, one can wallow in it or rise above it like you are doing.
reading your poem and thoughts about it has helped me tremendously. thank you for being you.
i pray to God and to Jesus, His mother Mary for you and your family.

Hi Halkush!

I am greatful that the poems and words I write, type and share - have helped you. I have been through MUCH Suffering, throughout MOST of my life and the LORD ADONAI ELOHEM & YESHUA CHRIST JESUS has helped me and encouragend me, tremendously! Therefore, I want to share that same Love and encouragement with others, as much a I possibly can. That is all I've ever wanted to do since I was a child.... It would be selfish of me to keep it and not share it, especially since we all go through hard times, of various degrees throughout our life time. To me, we are all family and should help each other. Some of us are called to do more than other, and if given that responsability, then we should do what ever the LORD gives us to do with all our heart....
I am no Savior but I am a sister and I do hope whatever I share, does truly help encourage many. I know this may sound silly but I know if we learn something and don't share it with our children and our brothers & sisters to be helpful in time of need, then whatever we have learned can tend to "rot" within us and just "become a stagnant pool of knowledge" that makes us "big headed", if you know what I mean. I will never put myself up on a pedistal and say I am better than my brother or sister, if I have graciously learned something that will help me grow and learn and become a better person in life.... We all have to grow and learn and have various circumstances that may hinder our growth, if you know what I mean. Some things just take time to learn.... And I certainly do not know it all! I am right there, with all of you, in the "same boat" - so to speak.... in need of learning and enlightenment! Thank you for your kind words and whatever you are going through, I will always keep you in my prayers, my sister!
Love Your Sister, Eagle/Stacey
