Thunder Rolls...

When God speaks everything & everybody listens...

Thunder Rolls...

THUNDER: Greek translation means- to "ROAR"

PSALMS: 18:13- the Lord thundered from heaven;
the voice of the most high resounded,
When the thunder rolls, everything & everybody listens
then instinctively reacts,

Birds find safe shelter from the incoming storm,
as do the rabbits hop swiftly to there holes,
even the mighty wolves scamper in fear to there
dens, and us humans find indoor accommodations as
quick as we can, not knowing what the Almighty may
unleash on our borrowed land,

The power and magic that stings the earth which is
his voice "ROARING" is an onomatopoeia that every living
thing respects and even fears, (hence finding cover)


When combined with his breath and electrifying power,
nobody really knows for sure what could happen to our
land or lives, only God knows what the time ahead holds,

So many youngsters will cry as the adults comfort them
and marvel at the pure beauty and power happening in front
of them and others like myself will be in prayer,

When the thunder rolls, I always get crystal clear images of
Revelations 19 running through my head and pray with all
my heart and soul that this be the day the good Lord, opens
the heavens and rides in on his white horse like the KING OF KINGS
that he is and gets the end times rolling,

When the thunder rolls and the lightning strikes,
every living thing understands that something greater then
themselves that has control of that moment of there lives,
and others like myself realize that fact everyday regardless of
thunder and lightning,

God is awesome and I sure do love it when he lets out a
thunderous "ROAR"...

Author's Note

All glory and honor belongs to Christ Jesus!
Revelations is a great book to read to learn about the end times...

I absolutely LOVE this! You made me smile when you used the word "onomatopoeia"...when I was in charge of writing workshops, my kiddos used to love repeating that word over and over LOL. Honestly, this is quite a poem on Revelations. I thoroughly enjoyed it with the 2nd stanza being my favorite.

It reminds me of K. Perry's song only in the subject of sound and ROAR.
I always told my kids it was God having a bowling party up there to calm their nerves.
Nature is truly wonderful and unexpected at times.

Thanks for checking it out and your kind review, b-blessed
ps Kelly's grandma told her the same thing about bowling
so creative and beautiful for kids imagination, PTL

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

LOL~It is something you do when you are a mother and protection is what you have in mind. Otherwise, the little ones worry too much. Kids should be having fun--not worrying and being afraid of some rumbling noises. :)

[Jamestown]

Very cool, I find it adorable:)

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

You know explaining certain subjects to children can be a learning experience for the parent, too. One of my favorite moments with my middle child was when I took her to see Hook at the theater. I didn't think she could sit through a whole movie, but she did at three years old. She loved that movie! As we were exiting, she looked up at me and said, Mommy can I really fly some day? I said--I'm sure that you will earn yours wings sometime in the future, but that is a long way off. She smiled back. That was enough for her at that moment. It was precious. Another time in the car at night, she said--Mommy the moon is following us home. There was a big full moon, and she was watching it from her car seat as I drove us home. I loved that moment, too. :)

[Jamestown]

Beautiful moments, I ask my Grandma about the moon following us as well
and she replied it's because your so darn special, I miss her but she is in heaven
with God where she belongs, I'm so blessed you shared with me, I am very grateful:)

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

You are welcome--both of my grannies are there, too. Miss them the most!

A thunderous faith you have, James, and it shows in every piece of work you share. I love the through theme of faith in your writing and you write with such passion and honesty that one cannot help but be drawn into your words. Thunder does remind us that we have little control in this world of ours. A fantastic write.
