                    The Wheat of Heaven
Taken from the stalk of Calvary
Placed within the dark, cold earth
Silent lies the Wheat of heaven 
There to wait resurrection birth
Left alone in fragrant seed coat
Till the time had come to pass
It would soon give way to victory
Life eternal sprang forth at last

                    [002]  MESSAGE FROM A POEM – A GRAIN OF WHEAT DIES
Not very long before the crucifixion Jesus spoke to Andrew and Philip.  This is what He said – {{John 12:23-25 and Jesus answered them saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.  Truly, truly, I say to you, UNLESS A GRAIN OF

                    [042]  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – CHRIST IN ME AND I IN HIM
I meant this to be a personal, yet touching poem.  The title – Christ in me and I in Him” can be taken as a one-way dialogue between two people, the Lord and me.  I am sharing with my Saviour the thoughts in my mind.  (A personal chat).

Text, Matthew 13:25, KJV: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Thoughts: Have you ever heard the phrase, “Oh, that’ s close enough” or “that’s good enough”? Sometimes, it’s true but there

                    Now the picture Jesus paints is of an enemy sowing some weeds. The plant most think is commonly called darnel or cockle earning the name “false wheat” as it looks so much like wheat especially in the early stages. It is common in Syria and Israel. The problem is that by the time it is developed

A city boy visited his cousin who lived on a farm in the country for the first time. The city boy had never seen wheat growing in a field. It was an impressive sight for him, the wheat golden brown and ready for harvesting. 
He noticed that some of the wheat stood tall in the field,

                    Many years ago a farmer had an unusually fine crop of wheat.  Just a few days before the wheat was to be harvested, a terrible hail and wind storm came.  The entire crop was destroyed.  After the storm was over, the farmer, with his little son, went out on the porch.  The little boy looked at what
