Holy Trinity Sunday

We studied Holy Trinity
On this a Christian Day.
Our pastor explained the concept
To the parishioners this way.

The Trinity is only one
And yet it has three parts.
Perhaps we would have understood
If he had used flowcharts.

The picture became much clearer
When he said an egg is one,
Yet three, the yolk, the white, the shell;
Same as Father, Spirit, Son.

The Father created you,
The dear Son came to save.
The Spirit is near to guide you
And help you to behave.

Though the whole world may desert you,
You are never all alone.
With The Trinity in your coner,
You need not make it on your own.

Joyce,   Long story....short.....

This is a subject dear to my heart.  The Trinity is a truth worth living and dying for.  Some great thoughts here in your poem.  Thank you.

I was sued by a "jesus only" lady I refused to hire.  (I am the Founder of an organization that believes that the God head is triune in nature.)  One of the greatest privileges of my life was to get to defend the Trinity before a Jewish judge.  We won the case.

Love,
Jack

Thank you Jack.  How could you not win?  As I said in my poem with the Trinity in your corner.  Joyce

Joyce:  I loved your poem and it was strange that the egg was used as an example of the Trinity.  I often think that very thing, when I crack an egg! What a miracle!

Beautiful!
ONE! In prayer we may pray to Jesus, to Our Lord, to the Holy Spirit, but in fact we are speaking to the ONE.
Love, Margherita

(sigh) God Bless You, dearest friend, yes, the egg itself is all one, for the yolk is but the heart of it all, the white the substance, and the shell the shield! (big hugggsssssss) And we possess Trinity, which will help us appreciate His grace from each side, this is wonderful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
