The Prize and God's Wisdom

Brigham and Karmel
Larson received this
sweet little blessing
December l, 2009
"Joshua Luke"

I was lucky to spend
almost 3 weeks with
her family this year.




LIVE LIFE TO BE WORTHY OF HEAVEN,
BUT BE OBEDIENT ENOUGH TO OBTAIN THE PRIZE...
AS IF THIS LIFE WERE TO BE YOUR ONLY HEAVEN. (Diny)


November 2009 : I'm 56 years old and I feel I've won a race, I chose to be wise and now have the Prize, I did run....and found fun. (I did obtain!)

1 Corinthians 9:24
(Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.)


*Swimming in November at Province near the end of 2009 , I had such a joyful feeling that "I had arrived", truly Paradise was here on Earth....just like in Heaven. I had lived life....endured thus far...and early on "CHOSE THE RIGHT"....always to the best of my ability. I went home and wrote these two poems.

GOD'S WISDOM

Retired I swam
Winter in Arizona
Blue was the Sky
I thought of God
His Wisdom so Wise

Follow my Commandments

I Tried My Best
At Sixteen the Test

I Chose the Right
Not Perfect Years
Heart Stayed HIS
Life was not easy
The Journey my Prize

Now in Province

Birds Sing in Tune
Flowers Always Bloom



THE PRIZE

Is it Heaven
Or Life?
Burdens
and Strife!

Our Response-
Good or Bad?
Our Choice-
Happy or Sad!

The Journey-
Endure it long!
The Prize-
Heartfelt Song!

From Birth-
To Old Age,
Contentment Here-
Enough Wage!

Is it Heaven?
No Just Life,
No More Burden...
No Strife!

Sitting with Rich at the Province Outdoor Firepit enjoying the Sunset

Picture of
my Daughter's
Front Room View
in Utah-Sky View
Magnificient!
Did not have my
camera during
the poems sunset!

Pictures in the Sky

Sitting by the Fire,
Overlooking Nature…
It was my Desire-
Husband said Burr.

He allowed me…
To Dream aloud,
Skyward Fantasy-
Pink Story Cloud.

To my Right…
Was the Volcano,
Oh what a Sight-
Clouds hung low.

Moving to the Left…
Multiple Pink Rays,
Side by Side Cleft-
Such Beauty Stays.

Mountains in Front-
Mixed Sky Pinkish Gray,
More Pictures to Hunt…
Sun soon goes away.

Next such Beauty-
Like Modern Artwork,
Vibrant Colors to See...
Is this my Quirk?

I may be Peculiar-
But Patient was Papa,
Mountains in Air…
Waterfalls of lava.

Now the last scene-
We looked straight up…
Fluffy white dream,
Then vanished abrupt.

Pictures in the Sky…
If we but invent-
Meaningful, but Why?
Love in the Moment!
