Time=Eternity Poem

Time=Eternity © 2010 Debbie Turner Chavers Lest this be misunderstood, let me add that I am glad for the choice that God made for my own parents. We can not choose our parents. God does that for us. God knew us before we were ever formed in our mothers womb. Psalm 139 Yet God does give us the choice of who our Father will be after we are born naturally. Choose wisely. Choose for Eternity. Your choice will not only effect you but also those who love you. There is great joy to be had in the presence of the Lord. You are wanted. You are invited to the party. You are invited to the family reunion. No worries. The clothing will be provided. Your invited! **Want to Attend?

Isaiah 61:10   I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath...

Always A Place For You

The Prodigal and Family ©  2010 Debbie Turner Chavers Luke 15:11-32 This morning as I was thinking about Gods great love for you and I, this is what came to my heart.  We all at times have been or are currently a prodigal. God is the Father and God has provided all that His children need. God longs for you with an everlasting love. Luke 13:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. Jeremiah 31:3  The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying,Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. Isaiah 44:22   I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me, for I have redeemed thee. Isaiah 45:6  That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me.  I am the LORD, and there is none else. Always A Place For You There is and always will be a place for yo...

3 Poems From my Journal

                                                                      Enough                                                       © 2004 Debbie Turner Chavers All three poems were written by me, May 19, 2014.  At that time was I was thinking about weight, perception of body image and its impact on our emotional and spiritual life. A Weighty Matter I eat I am hungry Hungry for answers With questions unasked With issues to large to fill a plate So I eat Trying to fill the emptiness of areas broken With food That will not fill or heal And so I pause Hand mid-air Reaching upward Instead of inward Waiting to be filled. © 2014 Debbie Turner Chavers ...

I Heard Your Voice

Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters © 2008 Debbie Turner Chavers At times when spending time in God's presence I write poetry, paint art parables, read the bible, or sit and soak in His Peace.  At times I rejoice, making melody in my heart, singing out loud and at times play my tambourine.  There are so many ways to spend time with the LORD.  Make time today, you will be glad you did. I wrote this poem during my study for the art parable "Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters" I Heard Your Voice Beside still waters I heard your voice As a whispered song of love that flowed along. As I traveled a weary road I heard your voice as a crescendo A bubbling brook that refreshed my soul. As I lay to sleep I heard your voice As a wooing song That lapped gently along the edges of my dreams Rowing me home. When my earthly journey is over At the end of my days I want to hear you say "Well done, good and faithful servant." © Debbie Turner Chavers Matthew 25...
