Mark my words! This might be a fun word to play with this week. Miss Kate has given us a new word prompt, and we get to play around with the word Mark. It’s a name, it’s an action, or it could given be a noun, let’s look at Mark Defined.
Mark Defined
Mark, the name means
“Of Mars,” “warlike,” or
“consecrated to the god Mars.”
It draws to mind one who would
protect others.
When I think of the name Mark
I’m drawn to Mark the Apostle
who wrote many words of wisdom,
he guided people to understanding
Jesus all the more. Protecting hearts
with true knowledge.
And of an acquaintance, who I knew
a while back, a strong, diligent
man who cared deeply for his family,
friends, and clients. A man of God
who spoke for truth often.
A notation, a notch in the wood,
a “x” denoting a spot. Mark defined as a
noun is a small area on a surface
having a different colour from its surroundings,
typically one caused by damage or dirt.
Walking on trails watching out
for paint marks or marking
showing me the way to go,
keeping me from getting lost,
and sticky notes, helping me
remember important bits when
learning new skills.
Mark defined as a verb,
is something you notice or
pay careful attention to.
Anniversaries and celebrations,
work well done, projects completed,
a move up in the work force,
first job or dollar earned.
All things to mark as points
to remember in life.
So do you know a Mark?
What marks have you made?
What events do you need to mark?
After I wrote this I thought hmm… I could have done a post on the Mark of a believer. I’m happy with what I wrote, but that would have been another idea eh?
What about you shows the world you follow the Lord God? Do you a “thing” about you that helps to define you, that shouts out, here is one who loves God?
