Hosanna

Palm Sunday Poem: Hosanna!

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. ~ Zechariah 9:9 ESV

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!

Behold now your King!

Righteous and having salvation is He,

“Hosanna,” shout and sing!

Humble and mounted on a donkey,

The foal of a donkey is His seat;

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion,

Waves palm branches now to greet.

Your Redeemer and Your Salvation,

You see these before your eyes;

“Hosanna! Hosanna! Blessed is He,”

Let these be your cries.

For Jesus is your King,

He is your Redeemer, and He is mine;

Humble He is in appearance,

Yet crowned with eternal riches divine.

So let us rejoice together,

Let us sing with praise and exultation;

Let us waves palm branches,

Behold our Source of salvation.

Bitter the Cross He will bear,

Yet sweet the victory He will know;

He will rise from the dead,

The way to Heaven He will show.

Through His wounds we know life,

Through His bloodshed we are freed,

The mercies flowing from His heart

Richly fill our every need.

So come now, let us kneel,

Our King let us adoringly embrace;

Let us sing “Hosanna, Hosanna”

To the One who saves with grace.

Yes, rejoice, O daughter of Zion!

Behold now your King!

Righteous and having salvation is He,

“Hosanna,” shout and sing!

Heart-Centered Biz Tip: Crystal Clear Goals

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net

Heart-Centered Biz Tip: Crystal Clear Goals

Purposeful Pathway is a haven for heart-centered entrepreneurs. Part of my mission as a Christian Business Coach is equipping heart-centered businesses with information that is practical, actionable and Scriptural.

The topic of this biz tip is preparing for your journey by setting crystal clear goals.

We must prepare. Before we go on a trip or run a race, we prepare. Before we leave for a trip, we review our finances, mark the road map and research the destinations. Before we run a race, we train, exercise and review the terrain. Preparation is crucial in achieving goals. Yet, when it comes to reaching our goals and having more joy, how do we prepare? Preparation involves reaching clarity about our goals. So, as you set out on this journey, your first step is to write down your goals in a specific, precise way – so specific that you and anyone else will know without a doubt when you have reached your goals. In light of this, writing down vaguely “I want to earn more money” is not a specific goal.

Format your goals according to the well-known acronym SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timed. With as much detail as possible, describe your goals in all areas of life, spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, relationally and vocationally. You may have others; certainly do add others to this list but be sure to include these fundamentals.

As you are setting your goals, ask yourself what do you desire your spiritual life to be six months from now, a year from now, five years from now? Involve all your senses. What does it look like? What does it feel like? What does it smell like? What does it sound like? What does it taste like? What will you do in your career? How much specifically will you earn six months, one year, five years? What does your ideal work day look like?

Involve all the senses…and work through all areas of life.

Make goals that excite you, goals that stretch your comfort zone; it is important to make goals based not on what you see around you but rather on what God has put in your heart to desire. If you know you are living in alignment with God’s will and that your goals glorify Him, then trust His promptings. Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.” When we live for God, He gives us the desires of our hearts; when He is our all in all, the desires in our hearts are His desires.

Of course, with each and every goal, we must ascertain it is indeed in alignment with His will. We do this by reading His word, by seeking godly counsel and by committing ourselves diligently to prayer. Proverbs 11:14 reminds us, “Where no counsel is, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.”

If you are feeling uncomfortable and excited by your goals, please trust that is a very good sign; again, the discomfort is a sign of stretching, of growing. This step of preparation is crucial; I encourage you to take the time to write down in detail your goals with crystal-clear clarity. The simple act of writing down your goals, studies have shown, makes it ten times more likely for you to achieve them. Clear at least an hour of time, and write in an inspiring space if possible.

This one step alone will allow you to achieve more, as being clear will wipe away the distractions that keep you from working toward your goals. This one step alone will also bring joy, as having a clear vision of where you are going – for God’s glory – ignites a fire in the heart; we are created to bring Him pleasure. Revelation 4:11 states: “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” When we live to please God, we live our true, eternal purpose, and thus we live with joy.

What success stories do you have with setting crystal clear goals?

What have you learned in the process?

Children

Children

“Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.” ~ Psalm 127:3

With wide, bright eyes,

Looking up with love,

Surely children are gifts

From our Father above.

With simple faith,

With trust strong and pure,

With a tender love

All things to endure,

Surely little children

Reflect God’s eternal light,

Desiring all that is good,

Indeed all that is right.

So let us treasure them,

On God’s way let us lead,

With His Holy Word

Their hearts let us feed.

For when we train a child

In the way he should go,

Through all his years

That way he will follow.

Children are entrusted to us

By our Father’s grace,

So let these precious children

Our hearts embrace.

The Kingdom of Heaven

Let us welcome as a child;

Let us be humble and meek,

Pure, loving and mild.

With adoration let us listen

At Jesus’ feet,

Emulating our children

With love pure and sweet.

As children of God

Let us reflect His eternal light,

Doing all that is good,

Doing only what is right.

Yes, with simple faith,

With trust strong and pure,

With a tender love

All things to endure,

Let us be as little children,

Looking up with love,

Giving glory and praise

To our Father above.

~*~

Thank you for celebrating children with me!

What are some ways you embrace being childlike?

Friendship

Friendship Poem

Proverbs 17:17 ~ “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”

A God-given gift

You are to me,

A sister of the heart,

A friend for eternity,

A gem I treasure,

A jewel shining bright,

A ray of sunshine,

A star in the night,

All are you to me,

All this and more;

I cherish your friendship

So sweet and pure.

Laughter we share,

Endless smiles,

Hardship cannot separate

Nor the many miles.

For connected we are

By the heart always;

Sisters in Spirit

For all of our days.

Praise Lord Jesus

For this connection we share;

Only He could create

This friendship beyond compare.

For He Himself is love,

He is our Best Friend;

His love for us is unceasing,

Without limit, without end.

So I thank you, dear sister,

From my heart of hearts,

And I praise Jesus

From Whom all love starts.

Together forever

We will always be;

You are my friend, my sister,

For all eternity.

A gem I treasure,

A jewel shining bright,

A ray of sunshine,

A star in the night,

You are my friend,

You shine with Jesus’ love;

Yes, you are a gift

From Heaven above.

As a Biblical health coach I understand the value of accountability, support and encouragement and I received all three. Caroline’s insightful, sensitive and motivating comments and support throughout the 7 weeks was absolutely invaluable. She made everyone feel completely at ease and provided a beautifully structured, yet relaxed and respectful environment in which to explore options and new directions. I especially loved the effortless and natural combining of faith and business. It sets this coaching program head and shoulders above others because it addresses the entire person, not just one aspect. It’s the type of program that would be beneficial to do periodically in order to assess progress and make targeted, constructive course corrections. I wholeheartedly recommend this coaching to anyone who is serious about rising to a higher level in life.”

Mike Fenton of Heart and Soul Health Coaching www.heartnsoulhealthcoaching.com ~ “I was very impressed with the Academy.

It allowed me time to really focus while keeping me motivated! I also really enjoyed how everyone could share their successes, challenges and other insights. It brought out great points for all of us plus gave us extra encouragement when needed. I appreciate your work and commitment to us!! You rock!”

~*~

1 Corinthians 12:20, 26 “But now indeed there are many members yet one body…And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.”

On the surface this may seem like a “duh” rather than an “aha” moment. Which one of us can pray and worship God wholeheartedly when our head is splitting or our back is aching? It’s very clear our physical condition impacts both our spirit and our soul, which is our mind, will and emotions and vice versa. If you are upset with one of your children or worried about something, you may experience the effects of that anxiety and tension in the form of a neck ache or upset stomach. Conversely, just try to sit quietly and read your devotional when you are angry or hurt by something your spouse or a friend said – it is nearly impossible!

However, what has amazed me about the deeper truth of this scripture is that our bodies are created to work as integrated systems – each part works in concert with the others. When we are healthy, we are experiencing this harmony of cells, organs and systems. Our God is very big on wholeness (shalom – nothing missing, nothing broken).

Referring to the Body of Christ, this scripture points out that even we who make up His little toe are just as important as those who comprise His heart. It holds true physically as well. (Just stub your toe and you’ll agree!) This was brought into sharp relief when a friend was experiencing dental problems. She had an infected tooth that was causing problems not only in her mouth, but in her sinuses, head, neck and eyes as well! Research now shows that gum disease has been linked to cardiovascular problems. Left untreated, that bacteria has been proven to directly cause heart problems, which another friend can certainly attest to. She related that her cousin was advised by her dentist after a checkup to contact a cardiologist immediately as she had advanced gum disease. She ignored the warning until she began experiencing alarming symptoms several years later. By then, her heart was so damaged, her only medical recourse was a heart transplant.

Imagine, the impact of one tiny tooth! This may sound extreme, but it is true.
We truly are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). God created every cell of our bodies for a specific purpose, just as He created each one of us to fulfill a specific plan and purpose with our lives. Let’s honor God by caring for these amazing bodies He so carefully and lovingly created for us and seek His wisdom in order to fulfill His plan for our lives!

My Portion and My Cup

www.freedigitalphotos.net

My Portion and My Cup

“Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.” – Psalm 16:5

My portion and my cup

You alone are to me,

My treasure and my reward

For all eternity.

In the jewels of Your eyes

I see eternal Sonlight;

The truth of Your Word

Brightens the night.

Your sweet smile

Brings me joy and peace,

And to Your loving hands

All I am I release.

On the pathway You pave

I find sweet salvation;

In every step You lead

I feel pure celebration.

How can this be?

How can I find all in You?

How can You be sweeter

Than every dream come true?

Yet all this is so,

For You are Everything;

You are God and Creator,

Redeemer and King.

My portion and my cup

You alone are to me;

Everything You are,

Everything You will be.

So take my hand, Jesus,

Lead me on Your way,

Inspire my heart

With every word You say.

Allow me to see Heaven

In Your beaming smile;

Precious is Your pathway,

Every step, every mile.

Invite me to get lost

In Your eyes of Sonlight,

Precious jewels of Heaven

Shining ever bright.

Yes, my portion and cup

You alone are to me,

My treasure and reward

For all eternity.

~*~

How do you celebrate your portion and your cup?

How has embracing Jesus as your Savor – and your Reward – changed your life?
