Tracks
Yesterday it snowed
a white fluffy, load
of frozen crystals
which now sparkle
as today’s sun
shines upon.
Today’s sun also shines upon
tracks left late last night by someone
uninvited, a trespasser,
whose telltale tracks today tattle
when they strolled
through the snow.
They’re looking for something to eat.
Perhaps evergreens taste sweet.
But these trespassers are in for a surprise
as in the fall the evergreens were sprayed, that’s why,
with stinky deer-deterent...
so the trespasser – turned and left.
Their tracks lead right up to the bush
then their tracks stopped - before reached.
Did their nose twitch?
Is that why they switched
their journey to the azalea
under the picture window?
This deer-terent smelled like rotten eggs.
Not pleasant, I assure you it wasn’t, ugh,
as the evergreen shrubs were sprayed
and the azaleas were also sprayed
with hopes to deter this winter’s
uninvited critters.
Their tracks continued on.
Someone else they would con.
Someone’s evergreens
would be eaten
late last night
in the starlight.

Have you been conned?
Has something happened
that left you stricken -
perhaps sickened,
or a hurtful demise
because of someone’s lies.
Realize that satan uses people
to accomplish his conniving goals.
Also realize that unforgiveness
is also one of satan’s demises,
for unforgiveness separates
and will usually lead to hate.
Hate is not God’s plan for you.
God’s plan is one of love, it’s true.
Love and unforgiveness are opposites.
Unforgiveness will cause hardness of heart.
This is what satan planned.
It’s time to stay his hand.
Forgive as God lovingly forgave you.
Realize Satan uses people to
act out his plan
to harm humans.
He uses people as pawns.
Be on the alert. Run.
Love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you,
pray for those who mistreat you.
Luke 6:27
Forgive us our sins,
as we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
Luke 11:4
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances
you may have against one another.
Colossians 3:13
Be self-controlled and alert.
Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to devour.
Resist him, standing firm in the faith.
I Peter 5:8-9
