Never Will I Forget :D
Calendar >.<
Life is? :B
Life is never easy while we live in this world,
I am the tame shark that can make you feel happy,
I know that sometimes i am down too,
So i hope that when i am down,
You people out there can cheer me up.
人的一生是那么来匆匆去匆匆，
我们往往为了一些小事而故执而任性，
那么我们一生会浪费多少时间在故执和任性呢。
在我的十八年的人生里，
我曾任自己的任性与故执，
但是请问曾经有人为我想过我的感受
Do It Anyway
People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

`THE SECRET WILL OF GOD
THE SECRET WILL OF GOD
.... that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Rom. 12:2
You may be in a quiet place
Where no one really knows you,
Humbly seeking the Master’s face,
Doing from the heart what pleases Him.
No one may really see what you do,
But the Lord sees your heart’s intent;
Knows what is seen by a few,
The secret will of God in the secret place.
It may be a ministry of intercessory prayer;
It may be a nameless gift to one in need;
It may be one of many ways to care.
It is done secretly for Him.
You may never be known
Here in this life below.
But Heaven’s love is shown
By the secret will of God in that quiet place.

`HEAVEN’S GIFT
HEAVEN’S GIFT For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be made rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9 Oh! The wonder, the majesty of that glorious night!
When Heaven’s star shown so bright!
A little babe lay in a manger still,
Born in time to do His Father’s will.
Was this the One promised of old?
Was this the One the prophets foretold?
Was this the King of glory?
Is this babe the Subject of the gospel story?
Yes! God the Son in humility is born!
In human flesh, but the world met Him with scorn.
The King of kings, the Lord of lords is here;
Yet, sinful mankind didn’t hold Him dear.
Was there room for Him in the inn?
Alas! Sadly no room for Him in the hearts of men!
Why was there no room for Glory’s King?
The One about whom the angels sing.
But is there room for Him in my heart?
Oh, come Lord Jesus and never depart!
My heart’s door is open for Thee to fill;
Make me a channel of blessing to do Thy will.
Oh, Savior to whom shall we go?
The soul’s longing to fully know?
Oh, Lord thou art my satisfying desire!
Come, Heaven’s Gift, set my heart on fire!
Glorious King, thou laid aside Thy crown,
Precious Savior, Thou didst come down.
The gift of heaven has come to earth!
Come, ye people, let us celebrate His birth!

`ALL FOR GOD
ALL FOR GOOD
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
All for good!
Precious be the thought!
But Lord there are storms
Which Thy hand hath wrought!
So Lord how can it be?
How can I see
Your Hand in this
For my good?
By faith we look beyond the storms
To the rainbow in the clouds.
We look by faith at the shroud,
Beyond the dark threads Thy pattern weaved.
It is then that our heart believed
In the working of Thy loving Hand,
Working together all things by Thy plan.
All for good?
Yes! It is true!
God is working His plan in you!
The sunshine and rain
The dark threads - our gain!
One day it shall all be plain!
All things work together for good. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`AUTUMN
AUTUMN
We spend our years as a tale that is told. Psalm 90:9.
I like to think of Autumn with coolness in the air,
The leaves begin to turn so beautiful and fair.
The hillsides are a picture any artist would love to paint.
Autumn gives a wonder to stir the heart of the faint.
Autumn, with its bright and gleaming sun,
Reminds us that our work on earth will soon be done.
The Autumn days of our life are approaching fast.
As a tale that is told, our days on earth will soon be past.
May my Autumn years and days
Be filled with good and Christ-honoring ways.
May my closing days on earth forever be
A testimony of Christ living in me. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`SADNESS ABOUT THE EYES
SADNESS ABOUT THE EYES My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Cor. 12:9 Behold a face, study it well,
Each one has a story to tell,
Of sorrow, pain, and sighs,
Of frowns, groans, and sadness about the eyes.
Pain has a ministry all its own,
How sweetly its seed are sown,
Afflictions, God's blessings in disguise,
Though pain may cause sadness about the eyes.
Grace sufficient, every hour,
God supplying his power.
Suffering has its own prize,
Though sadness about the eyes.
See the face nobly set,
Providence causes no regret.
Peace prevails about the face,
Sadness about the eyes mingled with God's grace.

`A New Year's Day
A New Year's Day
O Thou whose glory fills the heavens,
Whose bounty clothes the earth,
To Thee a poem of thanks we raise
For blessings from our birth.
For that untiring love Thou dost,
From day to day renew,
O may it on our hearts descend
Like heaven-distilled dew.
For mercy great, unending still,
Which gave up to the grave
Thine only Son, the Sinless One,
Our sinful souls to save.
While entering on another year
Our cares on Thee we cast,
Beseeching aid in days to come
Which cheered us through the past.
That still the freedom may be ours
To kneel down in Thy sight,
And worship Thee at shut of day,
And in the morning light.
That from temptation's fatal paths
Thou turn our steps away;
And keep us from unholy thoughts
That lead the mind astray.
No more may lust of worldly wealth
Command thoughts that are thine;
Nor may we envy other's lot,
Or at our own repine.
Than all the riches earth can boast
Or gems beneath the sea,
We know the pious, humble heart,
More precious is to Thee.
How needful, then, to train our thoughts,
And fan the heavenly flame
Of faith, in the believing heart,
Triumphing o'er sin and shame
And holding by the Word, thou hast
For grace and guidance given,
Pass trough this world in holy fear,
True candidates for heaven. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`New Year's Morning
New Year's Morning
Only a night from old to new!
Only a night, and so much wrought!
The Old Year's heart all weary grew,
But said: The New Year rest has brought."
The Old Year's hopes its heart laid down,
As in a grave; but trusting, said:
"The blossoms of the New Year's crown
Bloom from the ashes of the dead."
The Old Year's heart was full of greed;
With selfishness it longed and ached,
And cried: "I have not half I need.
My thirst is bitter and unslaked.
But to the New Year's generous hand
All gifts in plenty shall return;
True love it shall understand;
By all your failures it shall learn.
I have been reckless; it shall be
Quiet and calm and pure of life.
I was a slave; it shall go free,
And find sweet pace where I leave strife."
Only a night from old to new!
Never a night such changes brought.
The Old Year had its work to do;
No New Year miracles are wrought.
Always a night from old to new!
Night and the healing balm of sleep!
Each morn is New Year's morn come true,
Morn of a festival to keep.
All nights are sacred nights to make
Confession and resolve and prayer;
All days are sacred days to wake
New gladness in the sunny air.
Only a night from old to new;
Only a sleep from night to morn.
The new is but the old come true;
Each sunrise sees a new year born. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`UNLIMITED RESOURCES
UNLIMITED RESOURCES
We went to town last week to do some bits and bobs.
Nothing in particular, although there was one job.
When we had a grandson we saved up our loose cash
And once in a while when there’s enough, to the bank we would dash.
We did the same this Saturday, and as we stood in line
A thought dropped into my head, that there would come a time
When Zach would be quite old enough to know he had a sum
That bit by bit had mounted up and then the time would come
When with his bank book in his hand he could draw some out
He didn’t have to worry, he didn’t have to doubt.
While too young to understand, or even be aware
Resources are building up from those who love and care.
It didn’t depend on what he did, the kind of boy he was
The money was simply there, I have to say, because
His Gran and Granddad love him just the way he is,
He didn’t have to earn it; the fact is it was his.
To do with as he wanted, to spend it in his own way
We wouldn’t dictate just where it went, we wouldn’t have a say.
So we’ll go on saving, until the time is right
And when we hand it over we’ll share in his delight.
This got me kind of thinking how just like life is this?
A truth that stares us in the face, and yet can so easily miss.
That in our name a bank account is there in time of need,
To draw upon, to benefit, if the truth of God we heed.
He says to me in weakness, His strength will make me strong.
When I mess up, do stupid things, do something that is wrong,
For me there is forgiveness, a massive stash of grace,
But I must go and draw it out, if the future I will face.
The Father put a huge sum of credit in sending us His Son
It seems so sad to waste it, with all that He has done.
When next you go into a bank to draw some money out
Remember all that Fathers done, you never need to doubt.
If in any way you lack, in spirit or in soul
It need not forever stay that way; He wants to make you whole.
You may not realize in Him how rich you really are.
It’s something that’s not measured by size of house or car.
It’s also not dependent on how much is in the bank
As a son or daughter of the King it is how high you rank.
If Father owns the cattle upon a thousand hills
Then all is at His disposal, and can give it as He wills.
So never think you’re wanting, or a need that goes unmet
As heirs to the King of all, we never should forget.

`MY WALK WITH GOD
MY WALK WITH GOD
the Tempo of “Twas the Night Before Christmas”
God woke me so early -- He took hold of my hand,
He said “Come walk with me and survey My land”
Then He suddenly stopped as if looking for Words,
Glanced up to the trees and enjoyed the birds
He smiled as they chirped, how they sang a long tune,
The Angels hummed with them, as the sun replaced moon
God peered at the Heavens then spotted a cloud,
He watched as it hung there -- He looked awfully proud
Together we sat, without uttering a sound,
Content with the moment, nature’s beauty abound
Then all of the sudden, the silence He broke,
I watched His emotions and the Words that He spoke
He asked if I ever just looked at His stars,
Small planets, formations, all distant and far
And why all His children are looking for reasons,
For planets, for bugs, why, even for seasons
Science takes far too long to see what is true,
By the Words that I spoke, I made all, even you
They can’t figure out, but with My holy voice,
The rains will come quickly, and the wind has no choice
In just one of My hands, I capture a small little breeze,
Or silence the thunder and the waves in the seas
Man studies an earthquake and examines the shore,
But ignores all My children, turns his back on the poor
Nature’s song is a melody and My stars they do glisten,
I send all these gifts, but no one stops just to listen
Then He told many stories, as He tried to explain,
Why He visits today, and the source of His pain
He told me of Noah and of the great flood,
Then of His Son Jesus, and His innocent blood
He reminded of times in all the stories I’d read,
When His children earned freedom, from wars that God lead
Then He suddenly paused, while He pondered Creation,
Then actually asked of the state of our Nation
I said when you suffer injustice in your God-given rights,
You take up your armor and prepare for the fight
He asked if I thought of His Children at War,
Did they fight for our rights – or to even the score?
He explained war has purpose, those you love you protect,
You go with a mission– the battle swift and direct
But when the battle is fought and the victory is won,
In a very short timeline, the war is over and done
God’s heart seemed to hurt for the blood that’s been shed,
And the cries He hears daily for the missing & dead
What makes this so painful is that pride has a cost,
The freedoms we save versus the children we lost
Then the mood once more shifted as God picked up my hand,
He said I’m concerned for much more than this land
He told of the days while He formed all Creation,
Then sin entered in, and spread through the Nation
God’s goal was to give a paradise in which to live,
But instead at the Cross, His Son He must give
Jesus gave his life freely, with great mercy and grace,
The result of his pain, I could see in God’s face
Now I watch from the Heavens, all run a fast pace,
As if for great glory or to win a big race
God took no big rush in creating this earth,
He realized the value and immeasurable worth
We take it for granted, as He patiently waits,
We demand all His mercy, while we continually hate
Then God whispered so quietly, right next to my ear,
“Are you loving humanity – are you bringing good cheer?”
Next, He asked if I’m happy of what has become of my life,
Jobs, friends, and family – I’ve been a mother and wife
Strangely I found myself speechless and searching my heart,
Did He mean my good deeds, or the things I should start?
Before sitting with God, Good things I could tell,
But, I realized that moment, He should send me to Hell
He smiled as if responding to how sad I’d become,
I’d forgot in an instant that the victory is won
God placed right beside me a very small gift,
He nodded to take it but its weight would not lift
I asked what’s within, that carried such weight,
It’s My gift from mankind, all their sins and their hate
I wondered what victory we thought we had won,
The rat race continues, even though it’s not fun
One more gift was given—He placed a huge box next to me,
Upon it my name, this gift I must see
I realized that moment, inside was His heart,
Then He said “my dear daughter, this is where you must start.”
He said that He heard me, as I prayed in the night,
Asking a gift of His heart, His hands or His sight
So I might reach the needy and comfort the poor,
With this I had realized, I could do so much more
He then asked with real wonder about the way that I pray,
Why do you hesitate often, of what you will say?
Have you not realized by now, that I know all your thoughts?
Worry not what to say, just speak from the heart
He said I’m there with you, each time that you pray,
Or when you worry and struggle to start the new day
He recited each prayer, He remembered each word,
But they sounded so different, with all that I heard
My words made petitions, many blessings for me,
But for pain of all others, much less did I plea
Was the reason He came to visit this morning,
To point out my error or yield me a warning?
My days I’d spent planning on what must be done,
Only taking short spurts to remember God’s Son
But I suddenly realized when I struggled to pray,
That He just came to show me that He heard what I say
Whether speaking out loudly or just in my mind,
He sorts through the questions, real purpose He finds
No matter how large my worries become,
He will not ignore me – or like me, turn and run
You should see He’s not rushing to show which bill we should pay
But He sits quietly beside you, as with me on this day
For all He had given, only love did He ask,
But we had forgotten or thought it too big of a task
We can never imagine when God suffered great loss,
But He stood in the Heavens as his child died on the cross
I realized God’s might—he made both Heaven and Earth,
But the hairs on my head have much greater worth
So please take just one second to really hear what I say,
Tonight if you would – take just a moment to pray
Please pray for the Nation, the homeless and lost,
That time on your knees, not a penny it cost
And if you believe He won’t hear what you say as you talk,
Remember my words, when I told of my walk
Then next time you wake early and God grabs hold of your hand,
Be prepared for a journey to survey much more than just land.

A Seed Is Planted Under Dampened Sod
A Gardener Tends It Well With Rake And Hoe
Yet Only By The Grace And Love Of God
Will That One See Push Through The Earth And Grow
Still Other Seeds Are Planted In The Earth
By Farmers Who Must Carefully Reap And Sow
Yet Only By God's Will (Not By Man's Worth!)
Will Those Seeds Finally Pierce The Earth And Grow
Yes, Man May Make Life Easy For Those Seeds
(Machines Can Plow The Fertile Ground, You Know)
Can Even Ease The Soil And Pluck Out Weeds
Yet By Themselves They Can't Make One Seed Grow!
For Seeds Will Grow Despite Man's Toil Or Pain
Despite Machines--Without The Rake Or Hoe
'Cause GOD HIMSELF Has Placed Within Each Grain
The Power And The Need For It To Grow
A Farmer With Self-Pride Now "Reaps The Fruits"
But Will This Farmer Ever Really Know
That God Himself Was Hiding At His Roots
To Make Each Seed Unfurl Itself And Grow
Though Modern Tractors Plow The Fertile Ground

GOING HOME
Now my time has come,
From the sting of death, I cannot run.
I lived a long and fulfilling life,
Some of it good, some filled with strife.
As with all I did some good and some bad things,
Prayed to God for forgiveness to bring.
I surrendered my life accepting free salvation,
From that point I felt jubilation.
Now approaching my very end,
I cannot help but testify to my friends.
I tell of God's goodness the thing he has done,
How in my heart I know the race I have won.
I begin to ramble about the dead love one's I see,
How with out stretched hands they are coming to meet me.
I still pray to God let them usher me in,
Please Dear Lord forgive me of my sins.
So goodbye to you all please do not weep,
For in my grave I shall only sleep.
For when the great trumpet sounds,
My spirit, my soul shall leave the ground
I will with the others rise up high
To meet the Lord in the sky.Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`FAITHFUL GOD
FAITHFUL GOD
The rain I thought would never stop,
Incessantly it poured,
Until mid winter came along,
Then sufficient had been stored.
Our reservoirs were fully stocked,
The streams were at full flow,
Restrictions had been lifted,
The hosepipe ban could go.
But how many wondered, stood amazed
At the fact the rain had come?
How many stopped to thank the Lord
For all that He had done?
The rain was sent, but not too much,
The earth He did not flood.
His promise had been kept again
He is a Faithful God
Across the harbour wall I looked,
Where many folks had gathered,
Predictions had been made that tides,
Would rise above the standard.
The wind was east, the pressure high,
As shops made their precautions.
The roads were closed, diversions made,
You could almost feel the tension.
But as the hour came and went,
The tide began to fall.
How many praised the Lord
And on His name did call?
For He has set the boundaries,
Where He has said, they stood.
His promise had been kept again.
He is a Faithful God.

`FOOLISH THINGS
FOOLISH THINGS
(1 Cor. 1:25)
God uses the things that are foolish
So often to puzzle the wise,
They think they know all they need to know,
But oh, how they’re in for a surprise,
For the things that seem so simple,
So little and lowly and poor
Are the things that God often uses,
Not those who are proud and tall.
For in Gods plan for His Kingdom,
He ordained long ago,
That it’s not how great or important you are,
But how close to the Saviour you grow
To say we believe in a Saviour,
Who died on a tree long ago,
Brings a frown, or a shake of the head, or a laugh,
For to them we really don't know
The things that truly do matter,
The bomb, or famine, or flood,
To them as long as these things exist
There cannot be time for God.
For to believe in Him really is foolish,
To pray, and to fast, and to plead.
They only can see what is on the T.V.
And are blind to their real need. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

Yet, sinful mankind didn’t hold Him dear.
Was there room for Him in the inn?
Alas! Sadly no room for Him in the hearts of men!
Why was there no room for Glory’s King?
The One about whom the angels sing.
But is there room for Him in my heart?
Oh, come Lord Jesus and never depart!
My heart’s door is open for Thee to fill;
Make me a channel of blessing to do Thy will.
Oh, Savior to whom shall we go?
The soul’s longing to fully know?
Oh, Lord thou art my satisfying desire!
Come, Heaven’s Gift, set my heart on fire!
Glorious King, thou laid aside Thy crown,
Precious Savior, Thou didst come down.
The gift of heaven has come to earth!
Come, ye people, let us celebrate His birth!

`ALL FOR GOD
ALL FOR GOOD
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
All for good!
Precious be the thought!
But Lord there are storms
Which Thy hand hath wrought!
So Lord how can it be?
How can I see
Your Hand in this
For my good?
By faith we look beyond the storms
To the rainbow in the clouds.
We look by faith at the shroud,
Beyond the dark threads Thy pattern weaved.
It is then that our heart believed
In the working of Thy loving Hand,
Working together all things by Thy plan.
All for good?
Yes! It is true!
God is working His plan in you!
The sunshine and rain
The dark threads - our gain!
One day it shall all be plain!
All things work together for good. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`AUTUMN
AUTUMN
We spend our years as a tale that is told. Psalm 90:9.
I like to think of Autumn with coolness in the air,
The leaves begin to turn so beautiful and fair.
The hillsides are a picture any artist would love to paint.
Autumn gives a wonder to stir the heart of the faint.
Autumn, with its bright and gleaming sun,
Reminds us that our work on earth will soon be done.
The Autumn days of our life are approaching fast.
As a tale that is told, our days on earth will soon be past.
May my Autumn years and days
Be filled with good and Christ-honoring ways.
May my closing days on earth forever be
A testimony of Christ living in me. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`SADNESS ABOUT THE EYES
SADNESS ABOUT THE EYES My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Cor. 12:9 Behold a face, study it well,
Each one has a story to tell,
Of sorrow, pain, and sighs,
Of frowns, groans, and sadness about the eyes.
Pain has a ministry all its own,
How sweetly its seed are sown,
Afflictions, God's blessings in disguise,
Though pain may cause sadness about the eyes.
Grace sufficient, every hour,
God supplying his power.
Suffering has its own prize,
Though sadness about the eyes.
See the face nobly set,
Providence causes no regret.
Peace prevails about the face,
Sadness about the eyes mingled with God's grace.

`A New Year's Day
A New Year's Day
O Thou whose glory fills the heavens,
Whose bounty clothes the earth,
To Thee a poem of thanks we raise
For blessings from our birth.
For that untiring love Thou dost,
From day to day renew,
O may it on our hearts descend
Like heaven-distilled dew.
For mercy great, unending still,
Which gave up to the grave
Thine only Son, the Sinless One,
Our sinful souls to save.
While entering on another year
Our cares on Thee we cast,
Beseeching aid in days to come
Which cheered us through the past.
That still the freedom may be ours
To kneel down in Thy sight,
And worship Thee at shut of day,
And in the morning light.
That from temptation's fatal paths
Thou turn our steps away;
And keep us from unholy thoughts
That lead the mind astray.
No more may lust of worldly wealth
Command thoughts that are thine;
Nor may we envy other's lot,
Or at our own repine.
Than all the riches earth can boast
Or gems beneath the sea,
We know the pious, humble heart,
More precious is to Thee.
How needful, then, to train our thoughts,
And fan the heavenly flame
Of faith, in the believing heart,
Triumphing o'er sin and shame
And holding by the Word, thou hast
For grace and guidance given,
Pass trough this world in holy fear,
True candidates for heaven. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`New Year's Morning
New Year's Morning
Only a night from old to new!
Only a night, and so much wrought!
The Old Year's heart all weary grew,
But said: The New Year rest has brought."
The Old Year's hopes its heart laid down,
As in a grave; but trusting, said:
"The blossoms of the New Year's crown
Bloom from the ashes of the dead."
The Old Year's heart was full of greed;
With selfishness it longed and ached,
And cried: "I have not half I need.
My thirst is bitter and unslaked.
But to the New Year's generous hand
All gifts in plenty shall return;
True love it shall understand;
By all your failures it shall learn.
I have been reckless; it shall be
Quiet and calm and pure of life.
I was a slave; it shall go free,
And find sweet pace where I leave strife."
Only a night from old to new!
Never a night such changes brought.
The Old Year had its work to do;
No New Year miracles are wrought.
Always a night from old to new!
Night and the healing balm of sleep!
Each morn is New Year's morn come true,
Morn of a festival to keep.
All nights are sacred nights to make
Confession and resolve and prayer;
All days are sacred days to wake
New gladness in the sunny air.
Only a night from old to new;
Only a sleep from night to morn.
The new is but the old come true;
Each sunrise sees a new year born. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`UNLIMITED RESOURCES
UNLIMITED RESOURCES
We went to town last week to do some bits and bobs.
Nothing in particular, although there was one job.
When we had a grandson we saved up our loose cash
And once in a while when there’s enough, to the bank we would dash.
We did the same this Saturday, and as we stood in line
A thought dropped into my head, that there would come a time
When Zach would be quite old enough to know he had a sum
That bit by bit had mounted up and then the time would come
When with his bank book in his hand he could draw some out
He didn’t have to worry, he didn’t have to doubt.
While too young to understand, or even be aware
Resources are building up from those who love and care.
It didn’t depend on what he did, the kind of boy he was
The money was simply there, I have to say, because
His Gran and Granddad love him just the way he is,
He didn’t have to earn it; the fact is it was his.
To do with as he wanted, to spend it in his own way
We wouldn’t dictate just where it went, we wouldn’t have a say.
So we’ll go on saving, until the time is right
And when we hand it over we’ll share in his delight.
This got me kind of thinking how just like life is this?
A truth that stares us in the face, and yet can so easily miss.
That in our name a bank account is there in time of need,
To draw upon, to benefit, if the truth of God we heed.
He says to me in weakness, His strength will make me strong.
When I mess up, do stupid things, do something that is wrong,
For me there is forgiveness, a massive stash of grace,
But I must go and draw it out, if the future I will face.
The Father put a huge sum of credit in sending us His Son
It seems so sad to waste it, with all that He has done.
When next you go into a bank to draw some money out
Remember all that Fathers done, you never need to doubt.
If in any way you lack, in spirit or in soul
It need not forever stay that way; He wants to make you whole.
You may not realize in Him how rich you really are.
It’s something that’s not measured by size of house or car.
It’s also not dependent on how much is in the bank
As a son or daughter of the King it is how high you rank.
If Father owns the cattle upon a thousand hills
Then all is at His disposal, and can give it as He wills.
So never think you’re wanting, or a need that goes unmet
As heirs to the King of all, we never should forget.

`MY WALK WITH GOD
MY WALK WITH GOD
the Tempo of “Twas the Night Before Christmas”
God woke me so early -- He took hold of my hand,
He said “Come walk with me and survey My land”
Then He suddenly stopped as if looking for Words,
Glanced up to the trees and enjoyed the birds
He smiled as they chirped, how they sang a long tune,
The Angels hummed with them, as the sun replaced moon
God peered at the Heavens then spotted a cloud,
He watched as it hung there -- He looked awfully proud
Together we sat, without uttering a sound,
Content with the moment, nature’s beauty abound
Then all of the sudden, the silence He broke,
I watched His emotions and the Words that He spoke
He asked if I ever just looked at His stars,
Small planets, formations, all distant and far
And why all His children are looking for reasons,
For planets, for bugs, why, even for seasons
Science takes far too long to see what is true,
By the Words that I spoke, I made all, even you
They can’t figure out, but with My holy voice,
The rains will come quickly, and the wind has no choice
In just one of My hands, I capture a small little breeze,
Or silence the thunder and the waves in the seas
Man studies an earthquake and examines the shore,
But ignores all My children, turns his back on the poor
Nature’s song is a melody and My stars they do glisten,
I send all these gifts, but no one stops just to listen
Then He told many stories, as He tried to explain,
Why He visits today, and the source of His pain
He told me of Noah and of the great flood,
Then of His Son Jesus, and His innocent blood
He reminded of times in all the stories I’d read,
When His children earned freedom, from wars that God lead
Then He suddenly paused, while He pondered Creation,
Then actually asked of the state of our Nation
I said when you suffer injustice in your God-given rights,
You take up your armor and prepare for the fight
He asked if I thought of His Children at War,
Did they fight for our rights – or to even the score?
He explained war has purpose, those you love you protect,
You go with a mission– the battle swift and direct
But when the battle is fought and the victory is won,
In a very short timeline, the war is over and done
God’s heart seemed to hurt for the blood that’s been shed,
And the cries He hears daily for the missing & dead
What makes this so painful is that pride has a cost,
The freedoms we save versus the children we lost
Then the mood once more shifted as God picked up my hand,
He said I’m concerned for much more than this land
He told of the days while He formed all Creation,
Then sin entered in, and spread through the Nation
God’s goal was to give a paradise in which to live,
But instead at the Cross, His Son He must give
Jesus gave his life freely, with great mercy and grace,
The result of his pain, I could see in God’s face
Now I watch from the Heavens, all run a fast pace,
As if for great glory or to win a big race
God took no big rush in creating this earth,
He realized the value and immeasurable worth
We take it for granted, as He patiently waits,
We demand all His mercy, while we continually hate
Then God whispered so quietly, right next to my ear,
“Are you loving humanity – are you bringing good cheer?”
Next, He asked if I’m happy of what has become of my life,
Jobs, friends, and family – I’ve been a mother and wife
Strangely I found myself speechless and searching my heart,
Did He mean my good deeds, or the things I should start?
Before sitting with God, Good things I could tell,
But, I realized that moment, He should send me to Hell
He smiled as if responding to how sad I’d become,
I’d forgot in an instant that the victory is won
God placed right beside me a very small gift,
He nodded to take it but its weight would not lift
I asked what’s within, that carried such weight,
It’s My gift from mankind, all their sins and their hate
I wondered what victory we thought we had won,
The rat race continues, even though it’s not fun
One more gift was given—He placed a huge box next to me,
Upon it my name, this gift I must see
I realized that moment, inside was His heart,
Then He said “my dear daughter, this is where you must start.”
He said that He heard me, as I prayed in the night,
Asking a gift of His heart, His hands or His sight
So I might reach the needy and comfort the poor,
With this I had realized, I could do so much more
He then asked with real wonder about the way that I pray,
Why do you hesitate often, of what you will say?
Have you not realized by now, that I know all your thoughts?
Worry not what to say, just speak from the heart
He said I’m there with you, each time that you pray,
Or when you worry and struggle to start the new day
He recited each prayer, He remembered each word,
But they sounded so different, with all that I heard
My words made petitions, many blessings for me,
But for pain of all others, much less did I plea
Was the reason He came to visit this morning,
To point out my error or yield me a warning?
My days I’d spent planning on what must be done,
Only taking short spurts to remember God’s Son
But I suddenly realized when I struggled to pray,
That He just came to show me that He heard what I say
Whether speaking out loudly or just in my mind,
He sorts through the questions, real purpose He finds
No matter how large my worries become,
He will not ignore me – or like me, turn and run
You should see He’s not rushing to show which bill we should pay
But He sits quietly beside you, as with me on this day
For all He had given, only love did He ask,
But we had forgotten or thought it too big of a task
We can never imagine when God suffered great loss,
But He stood in the Heavens as his child died on the cross
I realized God’s might—he made both Heaven and Earth,
But the hairs on my head have much greater worth
So please take just one second to really hear what I say,
Tonight if you would – take just a moment to pray
Please pray for the Nation, the homeless and lost,
That time on your knees, not a penny it cost
And if you believe He won’t hear what you say as you talk,
Remember my words, when I told of my walk
Then next time you wake early and God grabs hold of your hand,
Be prepared for a journey to survey much more than just land.

GOD'S MIRACLE
A Seed Is Planted Under Dampened Sod
A Gardener Tends It Well With Rake And Hoe
Yet Only By The Grace And Love Of God
Will That One See Push Through The Earth And Grow
Still Other Seeds Are Planted In The Earth
By Farmers Who Must Carefully Reap And Sow
Yet Only By God's Will (Not By Man's Worth!)
Will Those Seeds Finally Pierce The Earth And Grow
Yes, Man May Make Life Easy For Those Seeds
(Machines Can Plow The Fertile Ground, You Know)
Can Even Ease The Soil And Pluck Out Weeds
Yet By Themselves They Can't Make One Seed Grow!
For Seeds Will Grow Despite Man's Toil Or Pain
Despite Machines--Without The Rake Or Hoe
'Cause GOD HIMSELF Has Placed Within Each Grain
The Power And The Need For It To Grow
A Farmer With Self-Pride Now "Reaps The Fruits"
But Will This Farmer Ever Really Know
That God Himself Was Hiding At His Roots
To Make Each Seed Unfurl Itself And Grow
Though Modern Tractors Plow The Fertile Ground
Until The Fields Do Rich In Harvest Show
I'm Sure That In The End It Will Be Found:

`GOING HOME
GOING HOME
Now my time has come,
From the sting of death, I cannot run.
I lived a long and fulfilling life,
Some of it good, some filled with strife.
As with all I did some good and some bad things,
Prayed to God for forgiveness to bring.
I surrendered my life accepting free salvation,
From that point I felt jubilation.
Now approaching my very end,
I cannot help but testify to my friends.
I tell of God's goodness the thing he has done,
How in my heart I know the race I have won.
I begin to ramble about the dead love one's I see,
How with out stretched hands they are coming to meet me.
I still pray to God let them usher me in,
Please Dear Lord forgive me of my sins.
So goodbye to you all please do not weep,
For in my grave I shall only sleep.
For when the great trumpet sounds,
My spirit, my soul shall leave the ground
I will with the others rise up high
To meet the Lord in the sky.Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ

`FAITHFUL GOD
FAITHFUL GOD
The rain I thought would never stop,
Incessantly it poured,
Until mid winter came along,
Then sufficient had been stored.
Our reservoirs were fully stocked,
The streams were at full flow,
Restrictions had been lifted,
The hosepipe ban could go.
But how many wondered, stood amazed
At the fact the rain had come?
How many stopped to thank the Lord
For all that He had done?
The rain was sent, but not too much,
The earth He did not flood.
His promise had been kept again
He is a Faithful God
Across the harbour wall I looked,
Where many folks had gathered,
Predictions had been made that tides,
Would rise above the standard.
The wind was east, the pressure high,
As shops made their precautions.
The roads were closed, diversions made,
You could almost feel the tension.
But as the hour came and went,
The tide began to fall.
How many praised the Lord
And on His name did call?
For He has set the boundaries,
Where He has said, they stood.
His promise had been kept again.
He is a Faithful God.

`FOOLISH THINGS
FOOLISH THINGS
(1 Cor. 1:25)
God uses the things that are foolish
So often to puzzle the wise,
They think they know all they need to know,
But oh, how they’re in for a surprise,
For the things that seem so simple,
So little and lowly and poor
Are the things that God often uses,
Not those who are proud and tall.
For in Gods plan for His Kingdom,
He ordained long ago,
That it’s not how great or important you are,
But how close to the Saviour you grow
To say we believe in a Saviour,
Who died on a tree long ago,
Brings a frown, or a shake of the head, or a laugh,
For to them we really don't know
The things that truly do matter,
The bomb, or famine, or flood,
To them as long as these things exist
There cannot be time for God.
For to believe in Him really is foolish,
To pray, and to fast, and to plead.
They only can see what is on the T.V.
And are blind to their real need. Labels: ღ Words Are Meant To Be Promise ღ
