Establishing a point of view...
In Memory of a Man with a Strong Point of View
St Patrick
He's a real nowhere man sitting in his nowhere land.
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view.
Knows not where hes going too.
Isn't he a bit like you and me.
Nowhere man please listen.
You don't know what your missing.
Nowhere man the world is at your command.
He's as blind as he can be.
Just sees what he wants to see.
Nowhere man can you see me at all?
Nowhere man don't worry.
Take your time don't hurry.
Leave it all for someone else lends you a hand.
Nowhere man please listen.
You don't know what your missing.
Nowhere man the world is at your command.

Establishing a point of view...
It is easy in blog land and also in the world we live in; to keep our point view silent in order not to offend. It is also a innate desire to be accepted by others.
This morning this song rang over my head as my Loving Creator Poppa God seamed to be asking me to establish my point of view. I see how often I veil my point of view. I see it as a process incomplete. Yet here I am nearing 50 years of age, and yet I still see myself as a child in so many ways. That is changing though moment by moment. I do have a point of view and it is time I own it with the power of who He is within me.

I do have a point of view. Often it is veiled yes...Humbly I effort to remain teachable.
Nowhere man please listen.

This is the message over me today. I am to listen to my own point of view, examine it and establish it.
He's as blind as he can be.
Just sees what he wants to see.
Nowhere man can you see me at all?

How many lives are at a loss of my effect. I see the hurting and dieing all around me and often keep my view silent. I do not want to offend or face the loss of acceptance, or cause an offence.
I just see what I want to see...but do not speak to it or about it.I watch people perish for a lack of knowledge. Error in choice for a lack of understanding. Yet I remain silent

This to me is both truth and sarcasm. I worry about those times when I have kept my point of view guarded or silent. Wondering if it could of made a difference in lives around me.Taking my time waiting for that right moment. Waiting for someone else more confident to share it, but then it would be their point of view not mine.

This is somewhat convictions and somewhat condemnation depending on the "Point of View".
What is it I want to have as a legacy, what do I want to have achieved in my life. In my youth is was to "give myself a life someday, and to make everyone I ran in contact to, smile at least once in their lifetime.
In my youth I have accomplished these things and still do to this day. I have life and a home and a family. My Marriage will be cerebrating it's 27 Th year. It is beyond established it is thriving.
Now in this chapter, this coming passage it is time to establish my "point of view". Stand in it and be willing to declare it and stand up for it. I have walked softly on this earth and will continue to do so, but to walk on this earth without a trace of a foot fall is wrong. Yes He carries me and has done so all of my days. I am now to stand and walk tall. To establish my "point of view". and leave my mark in the sands of time.
Can you see your footfalls?
One day we will we miss you yet we may touch you through the mark you have left in the sand.
Yes I will walk softly but I will not be invisible.
St. Patrick was born in Britain around 385 A.D. At the age of 16 he was sold into slavery by Irish raiders and spent six years in captivity. It is during this time that he found religion and upon escaping went to Gaul monastery to study. He became convinced that his purpose was to convert people to Christianity and once a priest he spent 30 years traveling around Ireland establishing monasteries, schools and European culture after the fall of The Roman Empire. He died on March 17, 460 A.D.- a date which has been celebrated as St. Patrick's Day ever since.
According to one legend, St.Patrick used three leafed shamrock to explain the concept of Trinity, (What a very interesting way to explain the Trinity uh?) True or not, shamrock remains one of the most significant symbols visible on St. Patrick's Day.

He had a point of view established when he was in the worlds eyes a
"nowhere man",
a slave.
Taxes to do...
As far as the house work
The Laundry
The chores at hand
Cleaning up the sewing room
Finishing the projects in process

Happy Saint Patrick's Day.
God uses all things to His good--Saint Patrick's enslavement is an excellent example of that. Thanks for pointing it out.
God Bless.
Warmly,

Thinking of you, and loving you sweet friend.
I love the Beatles, I remember listening to them with my brother on his record player, with a green apple on them, and he played guitar. I feel very honored that you used my post on your blog, I liked the 3 leaf clover thing, didn't you?
Hope you have a sweet evening dear friend....
Hugs
