Calm Euphoric Feeling - one of my Facebook Frolics

Thank you, Lord Jesus... it's 1:12am

That calm but euphoric feeling you get
When the day's been hard and long
The annoying oppressors have seemed strong...
Got under your skin enough to almost explode
But now the job's been done
Done and done well
In spite of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles
And the offenses are now insignificantly in the past
Yeah that extremely calm and intense euphoric feeling you get
On a day like this
When you prayed so many times for God to intercede on your behalf
When being a Christian seemed so hard and undesirable
When you can now look back
And thank Him for His grace
That caused you to achieve your needed goals for the day
That caused you to hold back from succumbing to many temptations
That caused you to achieve much more than you imagined
Yes that feeling
With
A soothing bath
A relaxed mind
An alarm set for later than usual
A thankful heart
All praise to God, all glory to Him


Thank you, Lord Jesus for this calm euphoric feeling and so much more

It's 1:24

Peter - Heaven's Questions II

When I get to heaven
I'd like to ask Peter some questions
Though I'm told it may not be important then
It doesn't hurt to record them here in pen

When I get to heaven
I'd ask Peter about his life
Some of the gaps I can't fill on my own
That weren't explicitly mentioned biblically

"Peter, there's a lot to ask about your life
But please let me start with your wife
You must have had had one, who was she?
The daughter of whom the Lord healed miraculously
How did she take your ministry?
Was she always patient when you were gone
On long evangelical trips with the Lord?
Were you two married before meeting our Lord?
Did she also think He was the Son of God?
Was she calm as ministers' wives are portrayed to be
Or loud and bubbly and all so free?
Is she here? What is her name?
I'd like to meet her in person, not just her 'fame'

"And O Peter what were your thoughts when Paul rebuked you
Before the assembly of believers when you didn't do good?
I'm made to believe you took it so graciously
Men of God like you barely make counter mistakes you see
But you were human and I'm tempted to believe
Your reaction may have been far from what in my mind I see
I mean especially if you were as tall as people claim you were
And Paul as short with his early balding hair
The newer apostle convert you must have trained at a time
Now says you're being hypocritical and it isn't even implied
How did you react? I'd really like to know
Not the assumptions that I've imagined and been told"

Someone would say it won't matter to me
When we meet in heaven these questions I speak
But Peter, if it still does, I can't wait to hear
Your answers to my questions that have been penned here

Biblical references: Luke 4:38-40; Galatians 2:11-14
