Abide with Me

We sang this at my mother’s memorial service. The word “abide” always brings me back to this hymn.

“Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;

The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.

When other helpers fail and comforts flee,

Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;

Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;

Change and decay in all around I see;

O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
I need Thy presence every passing hour.

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?

Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?

Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;

Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.

Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?

I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.”

Christian Hymn

Joy

Always keep humble 

Always keep low 

This is the year

I’ll never let go 
Of the person I am

The person to be 

The soul inside 

Joyfully me 

Guest Post

I was approached by Aatif from https://merejazbaat.com/ to host a guest post. I’ve never done a guest post before, so thought it might be a good idea to start. It is with pleasure that I share his emotional poem and link.

TITLE:- O GOD NOW COME TO THE EARTH
Understanding Todays’s world is Arduous Task,

Like filling water in the Broken Flask.

what were we and what we are,

All emotional Relations are shifting Far.
Sentiments & sacrifices are mere words

They seem to be as we have Nevrr heard

God has created us to survive,

but we are vandalising each other’s lives
who shed Tears is ineed the faulter,

its nothing but just salted water.

Ecstasy is Altering in to Embarrassment,

No flower can Bloom in venomous Environment.
O! god now please stop taking our test,

come on the earth and abolish tempest.

I Will Trust 

Through cruel sorrows

Suffering and despair

I will trust 

When summer scorches

And rains begin to flood

I will trust 

When drowned by tears

And hearts are torn apart

I will trust

When night prevents 

The sun from shining 

I will trust 

We are created 

We are loved

I will trust 

Stepping Stones

Every step we take 

If taken in faith 

Will lead us to 

The other side –

It will happen

Just believe 

Indulgence


This morning I woke up in the heat of summer, low on seritonin and happy pills in general, so decided today is the day for ice cream (and anything else I can find).

So I indulged in ice cream and Turkish delight and homemade milkshakes and marshmallows and pasta followed by seconds and lemon dessert and candy and went back for more ice cream and cheese toasties with extra cheese. And coffee with cream because who cares about soy.

The day is not over yet.
