True Fasting
Is not this the fast that I choose,
To undo the straps of the yoke;
The bonds of wickedness to lose,
That the restraints that has been broke.
To share your bread with the hungry,
Bring the homeless into your house;
Being cheerful and not angry,
When you disagree with your spouse.
Clothe another when they’re naked,
Modesty of the flesh to hide;
Give them a towel after wetted,
Hospitality to provide.
Then shall the light break forth at dawn,
Healing shall spring up speedily;
Your righteousness shall not be gone,
Breakfast to serve diligently.
Glory of the Lord be your guard,
And He will answer when you call;
He will bless you with a reward,
Bonds are removed as a cure*all.
The yoke has been taken away,
No longer speaking vanity;
Not ever be going astray,
Always helping humanity.

Between Shadow and Spirit
I have been seen tracing the edges of creation,
where the fiercest of us walk and danger whispers through tables & caves untouched by fear.
And there, the Spirit lingers moving among the most perilous places with a presence unshaken.
But where does the Spirit rest when the sun fades away?
If the Spirit could speak, it would tell secrets that kings and armies
could not bear. It whispers truth in silence, reveals us when the light dies,
guides us when darkness claims the night.
The Spirit fears nothing nothing., No storm, no fire, no hand
can contain its movement. So hear me now trust no mortal claim.
Even your shadow leaves you when the night grows thick.
But the Spirit does not depart It follows, it breathes, it teaches
a guide invisible, yet alive. Oceans, streams of rivers, lakes,
harbor reflections of the Spirit.
We follow, We are trailed by its eternal presence.
Mirrors whisper what the Spirit knows.
The sun bends toward it, the moon bends toward it.
Darkness itself is full of Spirited metaphors,
and every spark of light bears a trace of God’s Glory.
From the days of Moses to the flames of the burning bush,
the Holy Spirit revealed the living God, and in every whisper,
His Glory shone. The only Supreme God with no shadow, no trace
Yet alive in Spirit, moving, breathing, dancing through all creation.
We are not alone. We are guided, we are watched, we are held by the Spirit
that moves in ways our eyes cannot see, in ways our hearts cannot d

The Loving Cup
The Loveing Cup.
I'm sending you a present my dear
As I go off to fight this war.
One that I hope you will keep near
Until I come marching back to you.
Think of me those lonely hours
As I will surely think of you.
As you hold The Loving Cup
We'll be holding each other
So very true.
With each sip from The Loving Cup
Our lips will be touching as before
You'll feel the tenderness of my arms
Oh so real just as before
But, do not weep for it won't be long
Until I come marching back to you
Then, we can both drink from the
The Loving Cup
And our love will be just as before.

BE AT PEACE DEAR HEART
BE AT PEACE DEAR HEART .
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Written by Stella C, Mitchell
September 2025
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
For all who are fearful and
Afraid * because of the world and its
Cares today * listen carefully for the voice of God
And the words that He has to say * for He speaks peace
To our troubled minds and hearts * when we wait
On Him * with patience every day * and we
Cast our worries and fears on Him
And trust * that He hears us
When we pray .
So * be at peace dear heart
When the thunder roars * and the waves
Crash on the shore * for the LORD * who can walk
On the waters of strife * will still them * and bring peace
To your heart once more * for He understands all the
Things hat have caused you * to worry and dread
And He has heard even the faintest of cries
And all the words and the fears *
That are * as yet *
Unsaid .
For * in all things * God is
Working out His plans * for our good * for
He knows * how it all will finally end * and He knows
That we are but creatures of dust * who desparately need
A close friend * who will faithfully stand by our
Side * when the giant rages and roars * and
Fear holds us * in its vice like grip
Like the prey in a mighty
Eagle's claws.
But * my friends * at such
Times * when the whip of fear tries to
Beat you down * and tells you * that nothing will
Change for the good * stand strong * faint heart * in the
Eye of the storm * on the truth of God's faithful Word *
Which tells us * that He is for us * and will keep us
Safe * and that all our troubles will cease * and
We will see the light at the end of the
Tunnel * and will rise * in Victory *
And Freedom * and
Peace .
So * never give
Up dear friends * but look up *
Into the face of God's wonderful Son
And soon * we will stand as
Overcomers with Him *
In His Glorious *
Heavenly
Home .
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Always remember dear friends .
That God loves us with an
Everlasting Love
Amen .

Thank You Jehovah
Jehovah our God, we want to impart
Our thankfulness to you,
From the very depths of our hearts
In all we say and do;
Jehovah, we thank you so much,
For the love you show so well,
We can see, hear, smell and touch
Which makes it so easy to tell;
All good things on earth and above,
You created our Father on high;
Out of your most magnificent love,
A love that can never die;
Dear Heavenly Father help us to give
Our very best to you,
So that we can succeed and forever live
In a paradise so new;
Where all your faithful servants can find,
Happiness and joy of heart;
Every good thing for all mankind,
Your purpose from the very start;
Where real security and true peace
Will be accomplished still,
Where your pure worship will never cease,
According to your will.
