… with God. Have you ever heard that? That’s a verse from the Bible. The angel said it to the shepherds, when the angels were announcing the birth of the Messiah to them. Literally in the Greek, it means “For no word of God is without power.” That’s absolutely amazing to me.
I’ve come across some really neat blog posts while dropping Entrecards lately. People have been blogging about the great things God has been doing. The stories are thrilling! When I am low, I really need a little boost like that. Well, I need a little boost like that ALL the time, lol, but especially when I am low.
Here’s a new book I have recently read about: Ozell Adkins Life Inspirations. It’s a book of inspirational poetry, to remind us that nothing is impossible with God. Everyone goes through bad times- everyone- but God is with us through them all. Sometimes things don’t always work out as we want, but I do believe that God works all things out together for good.
Have you heard of the book? I’m not “into” poetry anymore (I was as a kid, but kind of lost interest), but this looks like something beautiful. I wonder if this book is like the psalms- where they are basically prose of thanksgiving and prayer to God? If you have read the book, let me know what you thought. It’s not in my local library yet, but it is listed at Amazon. If you like inspirational poetry, check it out!
Update- at Amazon you can use their “search inside” feature, and I was able to read an excerpt of some of the poems. WOW!!! This is a terrific book! It’s a great one as a gift, too. I think I’m going to get it.

Thanks for your post about this book. I’m always looking for good inspirational poetry books. I have two of my own, Beautiful Moments of Joy and Peace and Abiding Hope and Love (I have that “search inside” feature on both of them and love that feature!).
