Boxes          by Clara Mitchell 12-26-2023



I bought a mattress in a box.

I am traveling again.

The mattress purchase reminds me

Of when we put God in a box.


When we open the box for the mattress

It unfolds to a much more alarming size!

I think God wants us to think of Him

Outside of the box.


I know that I have stuffed gifts and talents

Inside of me, I am the container, a box if you will.

I tried to open the goods

But needed help to do so.

The helpers were busy--

I soon discover many

We are living their dreams in a box.


How do we open up

After being contained so long?

What treasures are stuffed?

Now at a later stage in life,

I am unpacking some boxes

That I have carried for some time.


God was helping me to open up.

My talents began to expand like this Serta mattress.

The size and fit gave me pleasant dreams.

God gave me a talent to write.

It has been a long time in the making.

My boxes did not truly unfold until late in life.


My travels have come to an end.

I am now able to unpack all my boxes.

I am feeling at home.

I need to put things away for the last time.

I am living in the end times.

The time is short.

My last stop is here with unpacking all these boxes.


The ideas are out as I break down the boxes.

I no longer have a need for boxes.

I am home now, last stop --

The talent and gifts waited so long.

Afraid of the haters,

but mostly those who are jealous.

God's help is the best.

It is not hiding a hidden agenda.

His will is for good and well being.

The end result will speak for itself.

Once read and discovered

The writing is finally able to live.

Only God can hide talent.

Only God can release it.



No more boxes.

Well, I also let God

Out of His box.

New themes surround me.

I am ready to release it all.

With God's help,

I now enter into talent with an s

At the end.

Am I late or right on time?

The creative energy

Cannot stop --I finally see

What God wants me to write.

Unlike Pandora's box

That opened up evil and curses over mankind,

I will open up faith, hope and love

blessings over mankind.

  by Clara Mitchell   To be or not to be? Hamlet's question is still and remains very interesting. What if God had asked the same question at the start of creation? Instead of Light be, what if He had asked Light be or not to be? God was teaching us as our creator from the get go. Words can create what we cannot see. Words when spoken create an energy around us. The energy takes shape to form our world. Our faith in God's Word is activated as we decree it. Faith builds on scriptures and it is a substance. In today's language it is a controlled substance. Faith is in God's control and we wait for His Word to activate. God aligns us to His will for His glory. His plan is always higher than our own. Seeking God requires anyone one of us to believe. Without faith, we cannot please God. But with faith many rewards are given by God To those who diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

Winds of Change Continue

Winds of Change Continue         by Clara Mitchell 4/21/2024 Am I losing my touch? I mean, am I out of touch? My mood moves like a child's swing, What is pushing me to go higher? Is it God or is it me, Or is it both? My life is going in many new directions. It is because of the winds of change set over me. The winds will die down soon- As soon as the changes take hold of me. Until that time, I am looking down from a whirlwind. What changes will God arrange That cause such mighty winds to blow? Is there a way to know my next? I am held in suspense by a spiritual whirlwind. The Holy Spirit calls me to deeper faith. I am no longer looking down from this whirlwind. When I grow in faith, I cannot remain the same. Over time, other winds of change Will remove more doubt and unbelief. Faith lifts me higher. Now I can move mountains. The Holy Spirit is my guide into all truth. (John 16:13) He sends the winds of change at the right time.

At the Beach by Clara Mitchell

  The sand is soft on the soles of my feet.  My thoughts are drifting into sand dunes.  One thought takes me back--  to my summer days at the beach.   Then I hear the scripture, “Time is short”. (I Cor 7:29 KJV)  This scripture is like a Clarion Bell calling all of us--  Single or married to serve. Day dreamers will miss their turn to serve. Day planners serve while there are still open windows of time to fill.
