The Sheer Essence of Love | Laveda D. Rockford


The Sheer Essence of Love

 

Love is an emotion that can be seen through the sheerness of time,

It cannot be coerced or prodded.

 

Love is a feeling that can be hidden from the world,

Behind the façade of ones will.

 

Love can be given and received,

But it cannot be taken,

And never be deceived.

 

Love can change people,

And effect history as no other feeling can.

 

Hatred destroys, love restores,

Love gathers good things for its possessor,

While hatred tears apart the own hearts way.

 

One is full of darkness, while the other full of light.

 

You can feel the weight of one, and the height of the other.

 

On any given day I chose to feel love over,

All the gastness of hate.

 

Love is felt in the sheerness of time,

Delicate, yet strong,

Reaching out from its possessor,

Filling the void where it belongs.

The essence of love is the sheer evidence of God in one’s life.

The essence of love is Godly, the sheer essence of love.

  Taking time to share a little Christmas at our House with you. I painted this ornament as a gift to my daughter and her husband. If they are reading this, sorry to spoil the surprise, but more gifts are on the way.  I hope that each of you who watch this little video receive a small respite from the worries of life. A little Christmas cheer for those who are in need. A little light to cast out all fear. A smile for you to hear. We are more than conquers, we are in Christ who strengthens us. The bride that awaits His return. God bless you and yours. Merry Christmas! Love always, Laveda D. Rockford © 2023 Laveda D. Rockford

Thanksgiving Thought | Laveda D. Rockford

  Thanksgiving Thought During Thanksgiving, most people gather to share stories of their year and greet each other with great esteem. While Thanksgiving is not celebrated around the world, I wanted to tell those of you who will be gathering with your families this Thanksgiving to please remember to say a prayer for those people who are having a very difficult time. Though we, as humans, sometimes think that our little part of the world is the most important, we have to realize that there are difficulties the world around. Many people do not have money to fill their tables with a bounty of food. Other people do not have the money to go and see their family. Thank goodness for the modern capabilities that computers give us. We can see our family on Thanksgiving Day if time allows.   Then there are those who have lost loved ones this year, or years before this and are having a difficult time adjusting to the news or accepting the challenge to continue to live. In honor of your loved

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.
