An Old Tree


 

An Old Tree

"I have a real dilemma!" cried poor Ms. Jenny Wren
It’s truly a sad story. She knows not how to begin
Find her aged apple tree sitting in her side yard
The tree must come down, this fact hit Jenny hard

Her neighbor, Ms. Squirrel, has built another nest
Her entrance is a knothole, rotted out, yet blest.
Her ancestral-home Where Granny Squirrel was born
In nineteen ninety eight, here, on a frosty -morn

Mom Robin's new nest sits high on the other side
Two neighbors are compatible living, side by side
Ms. Robin's blue eggs - their number, being three
The color's appreciated, by all who get to see

A woodpecker working to rid the tree of its pest
Pecks about, eating them, little bugs that infest
Old age is the ailment soon, Master Death is sure
Like cancer eating, cutting to be the final cure

Faithful tree you must topple, go back in the soil
Regardless how you struggle, or how much you toil
"Sometimes it is useless, the feeling covering me
When I feel low-down rotten, as an old apple tree

I think and look over, a long lifespan I've spent
There I dwell in memory of years of pure content
If i permit, th' old apple tree will naturally fall
It could crush a little shed, toppling shed and all

My Grand daughter Angela, in her the answer I see
Three tiny sons start living, maybe one replaces me
When baby squirrels, and birds departed from mother
Down comes the apple tree, replaced by yet another

If all prayers was answered, If none had ever died
So many people and trees would stand, side by side?
What a big awful mess, this big old world would be
I thank you God, for balance, for you choosing me

Heaven truly does make sense, salvation it does too
How on earth, life is spent. When God calls for you
There is the time for sowing, by His children here
Old tree time to harvest, "Well-done." you will hear

Genesis 5;2 He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them "man”.

The Big Picture,
(Jenny wren)

That is the main thing about facts that still remain facts, throughout the whole scriptural message, is what God is trying to get across to the unbeliever.
The main events the very crutch of the happenings from Genesis thru' Revelation, is the main theme, that there is no other God before our mighty God.

God has to be growing inside of the inner-knowing, for His message of Salvation to come through into the everyday, yes daily events, of our individual lives.

It takes time, many hours and hours of prayerful study, to understand the very many truths of God's holy word, His scripture, when reading The Bible, God's word. We need to prayerfully ask for the inner holy spirit to teach the meanings of these simple words to your unique heart., sealing them inside of you for future reference.

One can see where the words of mere man, they differ from the words of God' coming through loud and clear.
Gods words are truth. It is shown to the searching child of God, to find the truth. I honestly believe that God could ;
take a Bible that I Jenny wren, would prayerfully write, just from my own memory of the salvation experience.

I honestly believe that God could bless that writing of His word and it would stand to convict another lost child of their own inherited sin, causing conviction to come. I know this because I was convicted from the words of a poet, songwriter. And it has lasted since ‘67and grows stronger each and every day.  I know it was God using the word of man, to draw me to him.

We serve a spiritual God, in a spiritual manner, because God is a spiritual being. He is Love. We were created in love, and God is God of gods, and He is also Lord of all lords. He shall never change, His spirit moves into the child that he has called. There God will fill with his light of knowing, inside of the human being.

He alone can and has created, God, has placed a tiny seed, a part of Himself, inside of this, unique individual ( His created child). Each person is unique and wondrously, made to his own specifications.

Created for God's own use, in creating a better way of life for the individual, that God has created) in His own image.

The teaching and faith in knowing and learning to truly trust this tiny part of God inside of you, shall cause the faith part of God, inside of you, to grow in wisdom. This wisdom can only come from God himself. The forgiven child knows that this godly wisdom can only come from God, by him/her asking for it to be. (Wisdom to me is the knowledge from God given us, showing the way to use the knowledge from our lifetime studies, which now fills our brain.) This makes us of use to Him, fulfilling the reason for being born in the first place.

Man is made to learn and to create a better life while on earth. I look back at the improvement of what mankind has already created, making life easier and better for everyone, with more comfort, that we just take for granted.
Man, proving to everyone, that there is the spirit of need, is the father of invention.

We realize that we are only made in the image of the real thing.
God is the real thing. When we think of our own knowledge and how some men simply strive for more and more knowledge only until, one day, we stop in our tracks, asking ourselves one question. "Why?"

What benefit will it have for me, in the grave?

Then another thought happens. "What am I to do with this vast knowledge?" (I shall write it down.) So we pass it along in books, for the next generations to come. Now we have libraries crammed full of the knowledge of other men and women; we know the thoughts of mankind from the beginning of time.

We have watched them grow, we have watched them improve (as with any product it has to be improved). Sometimes the producers will improve a product into oblivion, making it totally useless.

Mortal men have become almost too smart, which our world has proven, now, instead of thinking they are only the image of God. Now mankind looks at what they think they think.

"Why, we are God. We will knock out all traces of this unseen character called God, who has bossed us around all of our generations. We no longer need this thing, whatever He is, that has created us. Did we come from the sea anyhow? (But, who made the sea?)”

Oh well, yes, we will use our earthly understanding, our vast storehouse, of mankind's knowledge. We seem to need nothing else, for we have filled our brains and our storehouses, thinking we have no need of a god. We shall get rid of Christmas, Easter, Churches , the silly Commandments. We shall teach our young: they shall have freedom in thinking, learning. Let them boss themselves, leaving all of those old roots of our creation. You see we have been brainwashed into changing, When man knows we are still evolving from "nothing into something."

"Yep, we are something, alright. We have let old Peter Rabbit and Santa Claus be the little gods to us and our children and we serve no one. If we can keep the scripture out of school, let's expel God. Who needs him anyway?

The search goes on, more study. From the knowledge of mankind comes the Internet. We have the world of wisdom and knowledge at our hand; we can check out anything anytime, just on our fingertips. Ask Google. We teach calculators, typing, foreign languages, games, and freedom of choice in schools.

(Has Google now become our god?)

We serve the creation instead of God the Creator.

What if there is no power (electricity to run things) for calculations, writing, searching for knowledge?
What then? Kind of' being lost without power, (electric or battery¸ more lost than without God, huh?)

Then one day, a great grandchild came from the library, carrying;
an old dusty book called “The Holy Bible.” Look Grandpa ,
they are giving some old books away at the library. I figured you are old and you would like this one.”
