The Eyes of Love

By Kate Brown
AKA: Kendra L. Brooks

Praise the Lord
Oh my soul
Thank You God
For Your word

For in Your word
It is written
Those who accept Salvation
Are totally forgiven

In Isaiah it says
That through Your grace
And by Your wounds
We are healed

Let me be a vessel
To teach others the lesson
That in the Father’s eyes
They are a precious sight

In the Father’s eyes
We are loved with such abandon
He is running to us now
With His arms open wide

No matter what we’ve done
Or where we have gone
We are completely loved
By Father God

So praise the Lord
Oh my soul
We are forever loved
Let it be known

Let us build each other up
Through the boundless grace and love
That comes from accepting forgiveness
Through God’s holy Son

If we could learn
To appreciate our true worth
And see our lives
Through the Father's eyes

Life would be much more peaceful
If we realized how beautiful
We are to God
In Heaven above

Let us live in peace and grace
Every single day
Show each other
What it means to be loved

A fragrance so sweet
Luminescent and intoxicating
Water from the heart of hearts
So very refreshing

It is a sweet, smooth melody
The purest anthem, Heaven's song
The reason for my heartbeats
The reason I can be

Rhythmic beating
Comes from within
Spills through my pores
Given, but not mine anymore

Treasure of my heart
And of my soul
It permeates all
Flowing forever more

Merciful love
Raises a soul from the ashes
A promise so divine
Creates a fire within

This candle burns
Only for Him
Jesus my Lord
King of Heaven

Flower Lullaby
by Kendra Brooks also known as Kate

Snowflakes fall
From up above
With a gentle caress for all
Showing the Father's love

Creating a blanket
So soft and dreamy
Like a fluffy cloud
Through the air, a lullaby rings sweetly

Good night my flowers
Rest well my dears
Your job is surely done
A new season has begun

Through the cool, crisp air
The tune carries far and clear
Asleep in Jesus, your beauty remains
Until I call you back again

When through the blanket
Of sparkly, blue-white snow
You will sprout anew
In many beautiful hues

Now is the time for you to rest
Beneath twinkling stars aplenty
So close your eyes in peacefulness
May you always dream sweetly
Forever Remembered, Forever Loved
Kate Brown June 17, 1990 - June 16, 2012
The song just seemed to fit with the poem

"True love is the purpose for our existence. Without love, we would not be. It is the force that breaks the mirror of negative self-reflection, while simultaneously putting us back together in such a way that we are clearer reflections of His love."

Together Forever

Although you can't be with me
We're truly not apart
Until the final breath I take
You'll be living in my heart

Even after my last words
And my final thought too
Look to Heaven
From there, I'll be watching you

I'll guard you as you sleep
And all through the day
Wishing for you, peaceful dreams
And happy, joy-filled days

If you ever need a hug
Or a little love
Just go grab that teddy bear
And send a prayer above

God is always listening
To every care you have
And, I too, promise to be with you
In the good times and bad

Until the last breath you take
I'll be living in your heart
And when you come to Heaven
We'll be together again, that day

I am dedicating this post to Trevor's "Koala Bear" on behalf of our friend and loved one now in Heaven, Kate.
There was a day recently when Kate's sister Anna was in a battle for her life, she has cancer and she  had been having a particularly bad struggle with high fevers etc over a period of days and it was not looking good.
When Anna's twin, Emily, found this poem that Kate had written and it resounded loudly with many people. Kate and God sending a message that it is not Anna's time yet. The message speaks for itself. Shortly after that Anna starting getting better. Once again today Anna was in a struggle and her family seeking comfort went to prayer. Again this poem and a song we deemed Anna's song came to mind. The photo here is for Anna, affectionately known now as koala and all I can say is God truly led me to this when I was searching for a photo to post for Anna.
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you (Anna) shall prosper...
Thank you Jesus for your precious gift we call Koala, for the promise of complete healing and for reminding us that you are indeed taking care of her.
Amen

a small section of Rhett Wallker's song that her family says is "Anna's Song"
"This ole heart is screaming out "Go on hit the road (cancer) cause you can't break me"

You were born to win
but to be a winner
you must plan to win
prepare to win &
Expect to win

Unless you have been under a rock on a deserted Island you have heard of Spiderman, you know everybody's Hero.

BUT DID YOU KNOW....

....spiderman wasn't always a 'super hero'. 
He was an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary problem. 

First he lost his parents. 
Then his uncle was shot in front of him.  

And after that, he was picked on....  
Teased.....  
Made fun of....  
And scoffed at. 

From that pain, a HERO was born. 
Saving LIVES.   Defying ODDS.  
And fighting EVIL.  

Not because of money, recognition, or power.  

But because he had a burning PASSION to make a difference.  
And to NEVER quit fighting for what he believed in.

To me, Empower Network and its awesome

community of people is a lot like Spiderman.

Driven by PASSION, changing lives and fighting the forces of evil

Only there is 40,000 plus members...

That stood up against all odds...

In the face of strong opposition from those AFRAID OF CHANGE....

The Empowered Network Community...Grabbed the bull by the horns, with PASSION they faced the challenges HEAD ON....with the founders leading the way...

They stood up in the face of the FaceBook dictatorship, trying to stop GOOD, HONEST people from showing others what the rest of the internet conglomerates don't want them to know.

And you know what?

In spite of FaceBook's Slap in removing ALL the blogs that were posted by members of the Empower Network Community, from Facebook, even those as far back as last 8 months, for no good reason at all.
(We're not talking advertising or spam here I am talking about regular blogs by regular folks)...

in spite of this...

The Empower Network Community's PASSION to share has continued to cause remarkable growth at a remarkable rate...

And for the first time ever -

Tens of thousands of marketers are set-up, blogging, and have eliminated the overwhelm people in this industry have struggled with for YEARS...

Religion
by Kendra Brooks

Fake, man-made and binding
Lost in idols and buildings
Never about really living
Lost in a whirl
Of the human perspective
Trapped in a world
Of bondage and filth
Always taking, never giving
The “churches” get bigger
Taller, filled with grandeur
While lonely in the streets
The poor and destitute wander
Is this how you want to be?
