Bev Psalm 37: T

Tiny piece of paper. Questions asked and answered.

Trusting in the Lord’s revelation to these two men, my priesthood leaders.

Testimony strengthened over time in this process every two years, I’ve traveled to them; now they come to me.

 

Thankful they live lives clean and pure; give service to those of us with trials of mobility, tests of age and trapped bodies.

Temple recommend in hand. Time teaches me the sacred lessons to be learned in the House of the Lord.

Trinity clarified, creations purpose and Christ’s doctrine revealed there. Tying me to heavenly parents who will welcome me home when life’s targets are met. 

Touching the edge of eternity, hands clasped, glimpses of a Father’s love so profound. tears come. I’m not trapped, oh no, transformed, becoming all that God wants me to be. His will be done. 

Together for eternity, transported to realms where charity floods my whole soul, Christ’s love tightens those sealing ties, where families are securely, sacredly gathered over altars in His celestial presence.

Bev Psalm 37: U

 Urim and Thummim in Hebrew means “Lights

   and Perfections.” Prophets in ancient times

   used these ‘seer stones’ so they could translate

   unknown languages if God so willed it.

Ur or ‘Light’ of the Chaldees, a former seaport is

   now called Mughur, is now located 150 miles from the

   Persian Gulf.

Ultimately light helps us to see. Our eyes require

   light to perceive color and the beautiful world that

   God created 'in the beginning.'

Using the ‘seer stones’ described as two clear

   stones set in silver bows, attached to a breastplate,

   Joseph Smith said. I picture eyeglasses with

   crystals that allow Light to pour in.

Useful as this might be, it really trains the prophet user

   to understand the revelatory process, bringing

   forth from shadow a glorious vision of the future.

   That's why we call them prophets, seers, and revelators.

Uplifting us with an unprecedented view even around corners, 

   we can now claim insights never before considered

   by the world at large, as even remotely possible.

United with God’s vision, His all-seeing eye,

   where everything is present to Him,

   light bursts into our soul. That light is

   Jesus Christ, the Light of the World.

Unique is our understanding of what unity

   means. United or sealed together at altars

   in temple celestial rooms around the world,

   families are indeed forever! Malachi’s statement

   of utterly wasted is undone!

Bev Psalm 37: V

 Vanquish every foe, fear, pain and sin.

   Sound the war cry, watch and pray.

   Hope of Israel, ye youth of Zion.

  You are that hope sent forth to carry the

   gospel message to all the world.

Venerated men of the past wrote God’s words

   of hope and joy in Christ, so that you can

   March victorious in foreign lands and

   bring souls home to their Heavenly Father.

Valued, these children of heavenly parents

   Were sent to earth and live in remote

   places like Mongolia. Search the elect out of

   the vast masses of people; they’ll hear the

   Shepherd’s voice and recognize Him.

Volunteer, age 18 or older, to go on a mission.

   Venture in obedience, with steps sure that

   He will guide you. It is vital to find His disciples.

   Prepare a people and the world for 

   His Second Coming.

Vehicle, bicycle or walking door to door, vouch for

   Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon and

   Christ’s restored church with living prophets.

Vow to find them all. Visualize success.

   Verbalize your love of the Savior and the

   Spirit will carry this testimony into their hearts.

Vertical is your uplifted eye to goals set. On bended knee

   in prayer, give thanks for ongoing guidance and the

   tender mercies of aide from angels beyond the veil.

   Families are calling out to be found.

Vitalize His Church! Jesus Christ the True Vine

   who came to earth, living a matchless life,

   teaching the truths of eternity, giving

   His life for all who accept Him as Savior.

    All those, are the fruits of the Vine.

Bev Psalm 37: W

W? Just wanted to see if you notice

W in the Hebrew alphabet doesn’t exist;

   neither do X, Y, or Z.

Why? I ask when so many of my words

   begin with the letter W.

We don’t think much about it; but I have

   because of journalism’s questions.

Who, what, when, where and why must each

   be answered in a written article.

Women warriors weave stories by lives led,

   in weakness or strength.

Wisdom winds it’s way from lips to pen,

   to their children and men.

Walking the covenant path, women have

   wings of spiritual influence to lift.

Worthy is the Lamb of whom she testifies,

   He tread the winepress alone.

Bev Psalm 37: X

 

X-rays were in my life this week in May,

   as I fell into a crumpled pile.

Xerus-like, my burrow was between the sink

   cabinet, wall, and toilet, sitting on the scale.

Xenophile’s what people called my husband;

   he loved foreign food, languages and places,

   not that bathroom floor.

X-mas was a common word that we both hated,

   Bob would not even dress up like Santa because

   Christ was the focus not the unknown X.

   However, he did have a white beard, rosy cheeks

   and a little belly.

Xeric describes the place where his consecrated

   Grave is located, no green lawn or flowers

   Just a barrel cactus growing there at Binghampton.

Xerophytes grow in deserts with a limited water supply;

   here he died leaving me, planted in the desert

   wondering, Why did Christ choose to live in the

   desert of Judea?

Xanadu it wasn’t, yet now I realize it did have water,

   Living Water, Jesus Christ, and the celestial

   Kingdom is our Xanadu.

Xerox’s machine uses light on a photoconductive

   surface to yield the image developed with resinous

   powder. Christ is the Light; it is His image we want

   on our soul, developed by the will of Heavenly Father.

Bev Psalm 37: Y

 

Yea, Lord, I will follow thee. I’ll go where you

   want me to go and do what you want me to do.

Yes, even write psalms of praise, thanksgiving, love,

   sorrow and joy. May wisdom flow from thee through

   me to others who seek and find this blog.

Yemen’s desert on the Arabian Peninsula is where

   tradition says the Wise Men came from, because

   it was a center of trade in frankincense and myrrh.

Yesterday’s wise men brought gifts to Thee, Lord, may

   I bring gifts of wisdom this year from the desert of

   Arizona to friends, new and old, near and far.

Your will, O God the Eternal Father be done.

   Thou hast commanded me, Thy covenant daughter,

   to write and I will obey.

Yielding my will to Thee, from my youth, I see, that

   Thou hast led me to this moment in time and history.

Yet, I am still young in eternal years, although old I

   years of mortality, and beginning to remember

   having lived with Thee.

Yonder, beyond my vision, awaits the joy of reunion,

   where I’ll be longing to hear Thee say, “Well done,

   My wise and faithful daughter.”

  

 

Bev Psalm 37: Z

Za-Novia Liberty Diamond was found on April second this year in the

    Crater of Diamonds State Park after a heavy rain. I lived in

    Arkansas and visited there, didn’t find a thing.

Zircon not zirconia is a brilliant gem used for geological dating;

    Although mostly found in red, brown, yellow or blue, if heated

    the brown becomes a beloved white or blue delight.

Zaretan, in the ancient Jordan River Valley was where the

    River miraculously parted, waters heaping up and

    Joshua led the Israelites across into the Promised Land.

    The exact place is vaguely located, the promise is not.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom current technology blooms; whether it’s

    speed or magnifying a view to see details or the cloud-based

    Sacrament meeting attended virtually. Here we imperfect

    people can find gems on the rocky ground of trials.

Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, praised God for the

    impending birth of Jesus Christ, his family led a life of troubles.

    No relation to the prophet Zacariah; scriptures mention

    Zebulun, Zipporah, Zabeli, Zerah and Zephaniah, so why

    no letter Z in Hebrew?

Zebedee in a name found in my family tree, where my

    ancestors show their passion for the bible, naming children

    Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Mary, Sarah and Sarepta.

Zeal for family trees and stories, photos and memories have

    created quite a database on FamilySearch’s Family Tree,

    a free worldwide genealogy site.

Zion, the Lord’s people who are pure in heart, are unified in

    their desire to perform ordinances on behalf of ancestors,

    who didn’t have the opportunity for these blessings when

    they lived upon this earth.
