359. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- The Empty Tomb. [Poems]

A path which leads to the Father ... And that path became His Son. The cross became the symbol, By which mankind could be won. Jesus suffered much and tasted death, That Friday long ago. But as He breathed His last, He said," Forgive them, they don t know" The third day, the tomb was empty. Jesus body was not to be found. The grave did not gain victory, For our Savior could not be bound! Praise God, the tomb ...

... I Love It I love the Christmas holiday. I love to jingle all the way. I love to trim the Christmas tree. I love to give to you from me. I love to meet with everyone. To laugh and eat and just have fun. I love to run around and shop. Until, I feel that I could drop. I love the brightly, colored lights. That glow throughout December nights. I love the Santa Claus and elves. Displayed in malls, and on store shelves. I love the Holy Manger scene. In settings that are so serene. I love the miniature displays. Of little towns from olden days. I love to hear the Christmas bells. And savor, all the Christmas smells. I love the nights, when all aglow. By, freshly fallen, moonlit snow.

It is so strange to fall in love while starring at a screen, With someone who is miles away that you have never seen. You read about it in the news and see it on TV, About an online love affair as real as it could be. A couple fell in love online and one day finally meet. The love was real for both of them and now they are complete. You think this couldn't happen, because it is all a game. The people that you read about already were insane. To meet a perfect stranger may be asking way too much. The people who set up these dates have gone completely nuts. You don't know who you're talking to, and can they be sincere? And if you've never seen someone, how can they really care? So ...

407. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Eternal Love. [Poems]
... Eternal Love He doesn't bring me roses but He is called the Rose of Sharon. He doesn't send flowers to my office but He grows beautiful flowers in my garden. He doesn't kiss me but I sense His kiss when I feel sunshine or softly falling rain. He doesn't give me sparkling diamonds to wear but the stars He set in the sky shine even more brilliantly. He doesn't whisper in my ear but His still small voice is ever with me. He isn't a valentine who has pledged lifelong love but He is Eternal Love. He demonstrated it Not by gifts or well-intentioned promises but by offering Himself as the fulfillment of promise. Not by standing with me at the wedding altar but by placing Himself on the altar. That I may know life That I may know Him and love Him forever. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love ...

Our love has lasted a very long time, I whisper His name, I know He is mine, The look in His eyes, just melts my heart, I fell deeply in love, right from the start. The one I was with, before I met Him, He was so bad, ruthless and grim, He didn't love me, not even one day, He wanted my soul, to stay astray. I couldn't trust him, he was so bad, Being in his presence, made me so sad, Had I not changed, and left when I did, I would be lost, my soul he had bid, I guess by now, you know what I mean, With ...

Tell me the stories of that old flame, and smoldering memories, Weddings wrought in hope chests, picnic lunches and wineskins and paper kisses. Tell me the stories of daring love and exciting romance, Of moving, in cardboard boxes, candlelight dinners at midnight and paper kisses. Tell me the stories of passionate love and honorable commitments, Sharing a dresser drawer, champagne and dancing in moonlight and paper kisses. Tell me the stories of becoming love and creating love, Making room for more love, walking the floor with love and paper kisses. Tell me the stories of losing love and dimensional acceptance, Achieving silver hair, learning to live alone-again and paper kisses. Grandmother slowly stood, eyes beveling joy and sorrow, Walked across the room, opened the old trunk, and removed a tied-up bundle; ...

They brought me to the water And made a vow to You To raise me to know Jesus, His teachings through and through. When I reached my teen years The heart You touched was mine. I knew Your Son had come for me, Would love me for all time. As I went out in the world, A young adult you see, I tried to do it on my own But You still carried me. As I tried to win the race Of fame and fortune true, I must confess my sin right now I had forgotten You. Though troubles were many You stayed right there Through all my pain and strife. My parents and You had taken a vow To guide me through my life. Looking back now I know You were there Through all of those dark years. You offered me ...

... The Fortress Of Love Every marriage has its bumps in the road And they can pop up at any time. We must learn to navigate them safely With fairness, faith and open mind. No matter how far in your marriage you've gone The highway of love has its rules. The excitement of sex, trust and affection Never tolerates self-serving fools. They say marriages are made in heaven, But so are tornadoes, lighting and thunder. Cold hearts and hot heads never solve anything They just destroy what we love by blunder. Boredom, frustration, irritations and anger Douse the spark between you and your mate. More of the same fails to feed love s flame Till you wake up to find it's too late Human touch sustains the release of endorphins For both the giver and receiver. Never be afraid to hug your partner. For the language of touch is a reliever. Always remember to support your spouse When times of dilemma arise. The ...

When I wake up in the morning, I thank Jesus for this day, He walks along beside me, Though my feet are mired in clay. He shares with me each morning, In the garden of my heart: He digs out the weeds of destruction, And gives seeds of LOVE a start! He opens new doors of blessedness, He introduces me to His friends. We sit together each morning, He teaches me on Him to depend. Lack of love is this world's problem, It's been buried and burned away. So many times we are too busy, To help a disallusioned castaway!"

My world revolved around her, And our whole life had been planned, But she was taken from me, And I do not understand. The reason life can go astray, And treat you so unfair, You think the people that you love, Will constantly be there. As I stood before the grave, My eyes began to blur, Then I heard a soft voice say," I know you really miss her" I turned and saw a soiled gardener, With his muddy rake and hoe. He said," it never seems to be, The right time when they go" I dried my eyes not wanting him, To think that I was weak. He smiled, then looked me in the eyes, Then he began to speak. I wanted not to hear him, ...

He hadn t learned the scriptures written long before, Love your wife as yourself; You ll love her more and more. The next mishap I happened on Was a kid high on drugs Who had no one to nurture him Give guidance and some hugs. A woman out in sin With no concern for her own soul; Hadn t been with Jesus Or He would have made her whole. I came upon a marriage, broken, Overturned along the way; Instead of love at home Both had gone out to play. An aged man and woman, Lives filled with tears; No one to love and care for them In life s sunset years. I saw a fallen Hobo Drunk on cheap red wine; He hadn t had a meal, Didn t have a dime.

... Little Girls Who wears dresses, bows and curls? Who loves diamonds, jewels and pearls? Who loves a frilly dress that twirls? The answer must be little girls. Who loves her little baby-doll? Who loves stuffed bears and names them all? Who dreams of going to a ball? The answer I'm sure you'll recall. Who dresses up in mother's clothes? Who pretends to powder her nose? Who loves to smell a blooming rose? The answer, everybody knows. Who dreams of a valiant knight? Who enjoys a pillow fight? Who is charming and polite? The answer's plain as black-and-white. Who is pretty, kind and sweet? Who is dainty, nice, and neat? Who's as precious as a pearl? The answer must be little girls.~Alyssa Marie Bentham~[ by: Alyssa Marie Bentham Copyright 2009 (retrogal27 @yahoo.com)-submitted by: Alyssa Bentham] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
... Ticket To Heaven Lord, You are our refuge and strength. You are the rock on which we lean. You created us in Your own image, And we are each Your precious offspring. You offer comfort whenever we need it. You walk beside us along our way. You carry us ever close to Your heart, And give us hope to face each day. We are Your treasured possessions and Your love is an eternal love. You provide us all our daily needs. All good gifts come from You above. You know everything about us. You are familiar with all our ways. You knew us before we were even conceived, And ordained our number of days. Before we ever speak a word, You know what we're going to say. You are our great encourager, As we daily strive to walk Your narrow way. We know we are not a mistake, For we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Each day ...
... His Love For All I just got off of my webtv, I wrote a poem about my Jesus. I wrote of His love for you and me, Of how He died for sinner's like us. It's amazing to think of His love for all, No one on earth has that type of love. I never dreamed I'd hear Him call, But I did, and it was as sweet as a dove. My life has changed since that day, My soul is clean, through and through. If only you knew of what I know today, You'd be calling on the Lord Jesus too. If you call on the Lord Jesus today, You'll be amazed of the joy you'll feel. Remember they took our Jesus away, On that dreadful day up Calvary's Hill. He willfully died for us in our place, The least we could do is call on Him. If you do this, you'll soon see His face, ...
... My Love Is Forever When I was young I thought I would never feel afraid. When I grew older I thought I would never find peace. Sometimes life teaches me the things that I already thought I knew. I once asked the forgiveness of every star I saw. But there are no mistakes, only lessons. Life continues to be my teacher although sometimes I feel too weary to learn. Our journey will take us to somewhere we have never been. There're a hundred changes we can make, a thousand paths to take, And a million dreams. If we have hope, we are halfway to where we want to go. If we are hopeless, we are lost forever. Many will say our love holds no future. Many will decide our choices will bring despair. I know nothing of how to live but I can know many uncertain things. I give you my heart, I tell you my dreams. I kiss ...
... Unrequited Birthday Love I bought a card for you last week if only I can find it, it should arrive your natal day with all my love behind it. You've moved two times since my last card, you never did write back, I know I had your address once but somehow I've lost track. So I'll spend three hours finding it then write it out just so, then decorate the envelope: a birthday-sticker bow. I can't recall when you last phoned or how long since you wrote, but I'll find fancy paper and insert a friendly note. Then just before I send it off I'll cover it with prayer, that God will bless your special day till you have joy to spare. And once it's there within your hands you'll tear it carelessly, and in your fast-paced, hurried life, won't even think of me. My card won't see the light of day, you'll peek in it for cash, and when you're ...

... A Mother's Special Love Our Heavenly Father could have sent His Son with angels bright; God could have sent Him fully grown To save man from his plight. But He who is all wisdom Chose to place in hands of love The future of the universe, The glory of above. He knew there was no other love On earth which could compare To the unique devotion Of a mother's special care. So deep His trust in this rare love, His faith in it so sure; He gave a mother His own Son, Entrusting Him to her. In doing so, God lifted up This role above all others, And proved that there's a soft spot In His heart of hearts for mothers! -Connie-[ by: Connie Hinnen Cook (cjcook @mynewroads.com)-from Connie Hinnen Cook] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
... An Unconditional Love His dear wife now had Alzheimers, her mind in a bad way; He placed her in a care home, but he saw her every day. He brought her favorite roses and a Persian cat to touch; He'd sing to her and brush her hair," I love you~oh, so much !" Sometimes he'd read her stories or explain things on TV, He longed to hear her call his name but knew it couldn't be. One day a patient watched them~how he'd gently hold her hand, The patient, filled with wonderment, said" I don't understand." She doesn't even know you, sir, you might as well be dead !""

... Butterflies For Jesus This year I finally realized, my relationship with God, had only been a friendship, which was not at all that odd. Not knowing what was missing, I didn't have a clue, my feelings now have changed, the love I feel brand new. The more I learn about Him, the closer that I feel, He has a plan just for me, I want to do His will. We all want a love, to call our very own, I truly am in love with Him, His love for me He has shown. A little fire once burned dim, now that flame burns bright, His spirit fills me deep inside, I feel Him day and night. Butterflies I have, for Jesus I must say, His spirit fills my soul, in my heart He'll always stay. [By Anna Copeland-from Ashley] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...

442. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- God's Child. [Poems]
... God's Child God calls on certain people To love and follow Him And the baby, you hold in your arms, Just might be one of them. Though they seem too small and tiny To carry on God's way, They'll grow into a strong child, soon; With each passing day. Then, someday, they will tell the world Of all God's wondrous things; Of Jesus and His glory, And all the love He brings. They'll help us lift our hearts to God And give our lives to him, And show us love, to fill our hearts That once were filled with sin. And, when they die, they'll join God In the heavens, high above. Then, someone else, maybe their child, Will take their place to teach about God's love.~Dot McGinnis~[ by: Dot McGinnis Copyright 2005-submitted by: Dot McGinnis] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...

My hurt feelings begin to swell. I can tell my heart gets colder, too. But still I refuse to kneel and pray. I'd feel so much better if I talked to You! Dear Lord, I so much need You then! And I love You so very much. Come and comfort me with love, And let me feel Your tender touch! Your tenderness and love soothes my soul. As I fall to my knees in prayer. It washes my heart and makes me feel, Like Spring, when a rainstorm clears the air! There's so little time left, Lord. Don't let me waste it feeling blue. Help me to remember to forgive, For I want to be more like You! Lord, ...

So I tiptoe in, kiss each girl and boy, And I pray with them that they'll be given the joy Of the spirit of Christmas, the spirit that lives In the heart of the dear child who gets not, but gives." If only God hears me and answers my prayer, When I visit next year, what I will find there? Are homes filled with peace, and with giving and love? And boys and girls gifted with light from above? It's a very hard task, my smart little brother, To give toys to some, and to give prayers to others. But the prayers are the best gifts, the best gifts indeed, For God has a way of meeting each need." That's part of the answer. The rest, my dear youth, Is that my sack is magic.

445. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Green Pastures. [Poems]
... Green Pastures Sometimes things happen in our lives, Over which we have no control. Things that cause worry and pain, Things that defeat our plans and goal. We seldom find the real answer, Until our hearts cry out to God, What did I do to deserve this? Why is life so roughshod? When we believe in Jesus, And know the battle that He won, We have hope in our sorrow, As we grow to love God's Holy Son. And as we start to trust Him, We forgive like we are supposed to do, And we learn to love again, As we inch our problems through. God provides the green pastures, And lights our dark valleys, too, And we walk beside still waters, Which changes our former view. We start remembering little things, While we traveled in the dark, The fragrance of Natures bouquet, The trees and flowers in the park. He gave us little ...

I see how hard you work to earn a living everyday, And I know where the money goes when you receive your pay. You take care of the family as you work to earn a living, But more than monetarily you just can't stop from giving. Unselfishly you sacrifice your time and energy, And always when I need your help you still have time for me.

Millions are starving for lack of love and food, for a place to lay their heads. not able to survive the way they should! They say there's all kinds of help available, but there never seems enough. Does God really care that for some life is very tough? Where is this God of the Nations? Where is His tender care ?" We all ask ourselves these questions, when we come to Him in prayer. Only He knows all the answers. Life for some is hard and bare. They've lived without true faith, and God cannot share! Our missionaries travel around the world, trying to spread the Good News. Sometimes they are stopped and even hurt, for teaching Godly views! Yet His Word does go forth, around this rebellious globe. There ...

For who can know the Lord Jesus, And be sad or forlorn, When we know His great message, And the reason He was born? His love is a warm blanket, Covering our wounded soul, And when we really get to know Him, We will give Him complete control. When I see someone's smiling face, And hear the love in a voice, The dark clouds melt away, And I can smile and rejoice. We all can be a ray of sunshine, To brighten someone's dull day, And our Savior will bless us, With His light along the way. He is God's greatest blessing, And He reaches far and ...

She'll sometimes say," Don't worry-I know I can manage just fine" Through the week I try to forget, but her concerns will nudge my mind. So I try to help by inventing a plan, for a favor that I need instead. She accepts, the deed is accomplished, and no further comments are said. Although there are times I feel used, with additional burdens for her care. The blessing of life isn't earned, it's a privilege we're given to share.

I think God is red like me, The Indian boy is heard to say-He wears a crown of feathers, And turns our nights to day Each one of us knows that God is there In ALL the colours above But be sure of this, the one colour he is, Is the beautiful colour of love So when your soul goes to Heaven, When your life comes to its end-He will be waiting, and his hand to you Will he extend. There will be no colours in Heaven, Everyone will be the same. You will only be judged by your earthly deeds, Not your colour or your ...

We will thank Him for His love so divine, He died on the cross by His Father's design. To give us the choice to have a new place, In Heaven with Him, through His saving grace! If we accept His offer of new life within, His precious blood will then wash away sin! Do you hear now, that still small voice," Come my child and make your own choice "?

... Ages Of Love In youth, Love is a searing flame, That dominates your life. It roars and burns and wrings you out; It's happiness and strife. In the middle years, it's a cozy hearth, Which flares up now and then, To give you strength to do the things That life expects of men. When old age comes, the embers glow At a warm and steady rate, Keeping our hearts and souls serene No matter what our fate.

The things I use to do and the way that I would act, are not still a part of me, that is a true fact. I can't help but notice all the choices I now make. I want to please the Savior who was willing to die for my sake. Oh I really love Him for what He's done for me. There is no way I could repay Him for all He did was for free. Now I want to please Him with every act and deed. He'll be there to help me and supply my every need. Life is so much different than it was before.

Yellow stands for sunshine, Peeking through clouds of gray, Warming the thoughts we think, On any given day. Purple reminds of shy violets, Blooming in shady glens. And the royality of Jesus, Who is a believer's best friend. Red speaks of our Savior's blood, When He died for all mankind. A reminder of everlasting life. More true than any other we can find. A rainbow with all these colors, Stretching across a misty sky, Creates a pleasant picture, For every discerning eye. Stormy nights, warm sunny days, Universal colors all entwined, Reminds of God's awesome promises, Created by His wise design. When you see a rainbow, It will take your breath away. Bow in joyful thanksgiving, Our Savior's love is on display.~Eva May Young~ ...
... Amateurs Of Love We writers are but amateurs, For what we do, we do for love; Most of the words that we write down, Are given to us from above. We take no credit for ourselves, Our writings are not ours to own; Although we may copyright them, It's simply seeds that God has sown. Can't take credit for what we do, For to do that would just be vain; That would be like giving nature, Full credit for making it rain. No, we are not philosophers, All we do is write His words down; No recognition do we seek, Save for helping to end a frown. Be proud to be an amateur, Means we do what we do for love; Done because of faith and belief, That these gifts come from God above.~Paul D.

Tell Other's I'm Coming I came to this earth, To die for your sins I suffered a lot, So you would win Some would not listen, And turn from their ways So onward they went, Looking for better days They really don't love me, And some never will If only they knew me, That I love them still I wanted to show them, Just how much I care And take them to heaven, To live with me there My heart was so broken, While there on the cross Seeing them mock me, While paying the cost I was willing to suffer, And give of my life For whosoever would come, Could come without price I love all of my children, And what they have done I'm preparing a place, For them when they come Tell others I'm coming, The time is not long, Till all are in heaven Singing the hallelujah song.-Mary Eldridge-[ by: Mary Eldridge 2002 ...

The Future's obscure; it has yet to come; A time of concern and fear for some; Looked forward to with ambition or lust-Much better to leave it with God in trust. The Present's lit up with eternal rays; Today is indeed the best of days. Love looks to this moment; the now and the here; The time when our Father is present and near. We should look with gratitude to the past, Having borne righteous fruit that will last; Our future hopes; our dreams and our plans Can be left in the Father's good hands. Right now; today; this moment in time We need reach out and touch the Divine; To honor the Lord; to cling to our King; Forsaking ev'ry unholy thing. ...

He'd lick my hand and pat my face and play the circus clown. My Gabe was so affectionate, his spirit full of love, His heart as big as all outdoors and gentle as a dove. Now Mother's smile will greet him and she'll hold him all day long, She'll cuddle him as angels dance and sing the birthday song. And he'll make Heaven sweeter as they celebrate her birth, Gabe's tender soul will bless her day, a special gift from earth. So Jesus, hold them close to You and let my Gabriel be A birthday gift for Mother, sent with all my love, ...

... That day in class, I told the children what they were to do, Make a valentine for someone, who is close to you. Someone that you look up to and someone you admire, Someone who is helping you become what you desire. Then I told the children, print a poem that is your own, Then leave them on my desk to read, before you all go home. Tomorrow, you can take them home to give to those you love, But first I d like to read them to see, who you re thinking of. As I sat and read the poems, the little cards weren t bad, Some were for grandparents and then some for mom or dad. Some had standard verses," roses red and violets blue ," While others had cute verses, that the children made up new. But then I started reading one and tears filled up my eyes, I never had expected ...
... I am burdened, I try to obey and then I stumble again. Someday all these trials and heartaches will end, Until then, Lord, please stay at my side; Walk with me on my journey of life, If in the lonely desert or on oceans high tide. I hear Your voice in a gentle breeze, You are there in the midst of each storm; I see You in the happy face of a child, When friends are few .Your love is warm. Was it me who brought tears to Your eyes today? The rain poured down from clouds above; Wind in the trees whispered Your name, In the rainbow, I saw Your promise and felt your Love. I see You in a mighty rushing river, You are there in a quiet mirrored stream; Out on the hillsides and mountains height, I felt Your presence there in the pastures green. Thank You for watching over me again today, I praise ...

A Soldier's Christmas I am over here in battle with bombing all around Bullets fly and shrapnel is falling on the ground And though I stay alert to danger, eyes and ears upon the war My mind begins to wander to where all my family are. I am fighting for our country to remain intact and free So none of you at home will have to fight or flee. I fight because I love you all, more than you can know And though I'm full of love for you I've seldom let it show. But with thoughts of the joy of Christmas bearing on my mind And missing you so desperately I quite often find That there are things I wish I'd said more often in the past And talked of love and visions for a future that would last. The picture that I keep in side is of you on Christmas day Knowing I am not with you, but oh so far away And yet you do your duty to hold ...

478. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- The U in JesUs. [Poems]
... The U in JesUs Before U were thought of or time had begun, God even stuck U in the name of His Son. And each time U pray, you'll see it's true, You can't spell out JesUs and not include U. You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name. For U, He was born; that's why He came. And His great love for U is the reason He died. It even takes U to spell crUcified. Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand, He rose from the dead with U in His plan. The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew, And even the word resUrrection is spelled with a U. When JesUs left earth during His upward ascension, He felt there was one thing He just had to mention," Go into the world and tell them it's true, That I love them all-Just like I Love U" There are so many people just like U ...
479. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- My Childhood. [Poems]
... My Childhood As I look back on my childhood, No joys to smile about. God placed me there for a reason And for this, I have no doubt. As a young child my life was empty. Fear and pain was always there, Of a father making life unhappy A mom making it able to bear. Being young I couldn't understand, In our family, love seemed colder. Why did I feel life was so unfair, Still yet today, as I've grown older? The youngest of seven siblings; Four sisters and two brothers. We never would have survived Without the love from our precious mother. Some felt she should have made it better But she was afraid, as her children were. I'm sure she felt she did her best, Though some felt she didn't care. At age ten, God came to take me home, Though I was dying, dad never gave any slack, But my mom sat ...

These were the words she once had heard when she began last year, But she could not control herself as she was crying here. It always happened to her, and she knew it always would, And she would not stop her emotions even if she could. She could not help but fall in love with each and every one, And she knew when she started here it wouldn't be much fun. But she had made a difference even if it was short lived, And she would always share her love with all she had to give. She knew each time she'd find a room and cry just as before, Until her eyes were all cried out, and puffy even sore. So now today she sits again and wipes away her tears, Just knowing that she helped ...

Because Jesus is our Savior, His Spirit dwells within. Let s daily pray for self-control. He ll help us turn from sin. If we love the Lord our Sovereign God With all our heart, mind and being, And love our neighbors as ourselves, What joy and peace we ll be seeing.

Gentleness is a form of humility, And a trait we all should show. Then goodness and mercy will follow, As His fruits from our heart does flow.

Where the Father will dance and heaven resound as the faithful servant is presented his crown.

I yearned to let you in. But, I could not, Because of my past sins. But, still you tried. I felt your tears, as you cried." Please talk to me" your soft voice did say. And yet, I would not sway. Now I fear that you have gone. I find it hard to go on. I find I need to care. I need trust. I need to dare. I need your strength to see me through ...

... Prints of Elbows on My Bed I was but a youth and thoughtless, As all youths are apt to be; Though I had a Christian mother Who had taught me carefully. There came a time when pleasure Of the world came to allure, And I no more sought the guidance Of her love so good and pure. Her tender admonitions fell But lightly on my ear, And for the gentle warnings I felt an inward sneer. But Mother would not yield her boy To Satan's sinful sway, And though I spurned her counsel She knew a better way. She made my room an altar, A place of secret prayer, And there she took her burden And left it in His care. And morning, noon and evening By that humble bedside low, She sought the aid of Him who Understands a mother's woe. And I went my way unheeding, Careless of the life I led, Until one day I noticed Prints of elbows ...

My heart was broken into pieces, peace for me had taken flight. And then I met a Stranger, with such love in His eyes. He listened to my worries, and then my life He energized. I poured out my very soul, to this kind and gentle Man. He wrapped His arms around me, And my new life began. His name is Jesus! He's the Messiah! He understood just how I felt, and He told me a gruesome story, and how painfully He had dealt. He taught me how to smile again, He encouraged me to forgive. And from that moment on, I knew what it was to live! He took all my sins and afflictions, and nailed them ...
... The Legend Of The Dandelion The lazy south wind saw the golden haired maid, The legend is told while he lazed in the shade. She stood in the meadow a sight to be prized. The lackadaisical wind pondered and surmised. Golden haired girl, who are you? Gold as the sun, I love you I do. Shy you may be, and if that be the case. I'll admire from afar your beautiful face. I shall laze and behold what I've captured by sight, And distantly woo, my golden delight. Yes content I shall be to loll under this tree, And smell magnolia sweet, adoring thee! Such a glorious sight! Ahh! This view is divine. And the lazy Southwind for his flower did pine. Upon the warm grass he did linger and rest, With his golden haired queen in her far meadow's nest. When sunlight arose on one mournful day, Southwind's golden flower had gone away. ...

No future here when gods you fear, And death comes oft and sure And their displeasure means your end, Though you love them to your core. But wait, another call is heard! A softer, gentler voice Who only asks for love and trust, Yet offers you a choice. A voice of One who heals the sick, And comforts those in pain. No matter who, no matter where, With nothing for Him to gain. As stories go, it isn't much That gentle healing of Jesus ' touch. But think of life without His love; Without forgiveness from above. ...

I don't need gifts and gizmos To prove you see my worth" The words fall past unhearing ears of those who love her so. They know she doesn't need these things, Yet shopping they do go. Oh, why do children oft ignore The pleas so much repeated? Why do they bring yet another thing To sit in the corner unheeded? They know she knows they love her, They know she knows they care. Yet off to Wal-Mart trot the troops To buy the things they share. Oft she cries out" Do not spend !" Knowing that the morrow Will bring bills and tolls and pains And from her they may borrow. So why do children do this thing, Their mother has forbidden? Perhaps the reason lies inside, A thing too often hidden. Perhaps because she taught them well, The things that ...

I sit and look until it reminds me of the fountain in us all. I felt a little blue when we came, but watching the water flow, Makes me think of my Savior and the way His love does show. He fills my cup with gladness just thinking of His love. And the promise of the future in our sweet home above! After what He gave for me, dying on that day and then-Rising on the third day, so I could be saved from sin! If my heart is my cup, then I guess body, mind and soul would be, Let's see, what's bigger than a cup? I guess a bucket, yes, that's me! His wonderful love fills my heart.

504. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Self Control. [Poems]
... Self Control I've heard it said don't go to bed while hanging on to sorrow, you may not have the chance to laugh with those you love tomorrow. You may not mean the words you speak when anger takes its toll, you may regret your actions once you've lost your self-control. When you've lost your temper and you've said some hurtful things, think about the heartache that your actions sometimes bring. You'll never get those moments back, such precious time to waste, and all because of things you said in anger and in haste. So if you really love someone and your pride has settled in, you may not ever have the chance to say to them again."

You helped me to adulthood grow With values I hold dear; And taught me how to face my doubts, And overcome my fears.

My heart already misses you As you worship up above. But I thank my God for giving us The love that we both share; And for the comfort that you know While praising Him up there.

... Beyond Alzheimer's She had the sharpest of minds. With a memory clear and strong In the latter years began to fade, Showing something was wrong. Having given so many years Of faithful service to her Lord, Difficulties were hard to accept. Symptoms couldn't be ignored. The simple steps in a sequence Became a challenge to complete. The diagnosis was confirmed As faculties started to retreat. Then stepped forward a hero. His love empowered by grace, As he met the needs of his wife By giving her care first place." There is nothing I will spare In money, effort, and attention For this one I love so deeply. This is my solemn intention" He cooks and cleans and attends To her personal needs and more.

The man knew not to question Him, God always gave to him, His best; He thanks the Lord every day, For helping place his heart at rest. Some told him it was just a fling, Friends even called it an affair; It doesn't matter what was said, God sent the love that these two share. What some call it doesn't matter, It's only between just those three; Let them say whatever they'd like, The love they have was meant to be. God took two hearts, melled them as one, Changed them both for eternity; Placing faith and trust in the Lord, Taught them both how true love should be. Together, forever as one, A gift from God, straight from His heart; A miracle He gave them both ...

We can thank God for His mercy and love, Knowing He sees from His throne above. He uses each twist of anxiety and pain, For our own good, for our own gain. But when our patience is tried too long, We forget the words to our 'thankful ' song. I asked God to open my blind eyes to see, All His warm love that encircles me. And to open my ears to hear a bluebird sing, Because His special gifts mean everything. There's an answer for all sadness and gloom. Could it be the fragrance of a red rose in bloom? Or the twinkling stars that shine in the night? Or the pale moon's own pure light? Or sunbeams dancing through the rain, Helping us to smile instead ...

We walk through shaded valleys, And trudge up the rocky hills. But God is there in all His glory, Waiting for us to reach for His hand, And when we trust in His pure love, Life's road leads to the Holy land. Ring out the bells of welcome, Bring in this brand new year. I pray for health and happiness, And deliverance from all fear. Each New Year holds a promise, For some unknown events. Hold true to God's great purpose, And we'll always be content.~Eva May Young~It ...
... Isn't That What It's About? She watched the twinkling Christmas tree from her old rocking chair, Remembering the times before when both of them were there. For years, after the kids had grown and they had moved away, Alone they shared their Christmas Eves until his dying day.

Every Christmas Eve for years they settled by the tree, And he would smile and say to her," well babe it's you and me"" It is the way that we began way back when we first started, And now again it's you and me since all the kids have parted. But, babe he'd say it is so sweet, to just have you and me, Just sitting here so warm and cozy looking at our tree" He would always play the Christmas music soft and low, And ...

As He hung there in such terrible agony, With His blood now beginning to shed, No greater love could have ever been expressed, Than through the words that Jesus then said. He could have called for the Heavenly Father, To render just punishment for all He'd been through, But instead He uttered," Father forgive them, For they know not what it is that they do" May we follow the example of our Savior, Not focusing on our persecution and strife, Lord, teach us to love our enemies as you do, While we live out the remainder ...

Suddenly weeds appeared in the garden, just when her seeds began to sprout, so she carefully wielded the tool of faith and dug the harmful weeds out.

For knowledge removes our veil of ignorance, Exposing within the liar or thief. A wise mind is a fountain of life; To teach others it's knowledge before death. Wisdom is too hard for fools to retain, Who curse their fellows with spiteful breath. Fill yourself with love and understanding, For wisdom makes the human face shine. Knowledge is stronger than weapons of war, While on ignorance, fools continue to dine. The words of the wise are heard in quiet, More than the loud shouts of screaming fools. Wisdom and knowledge cause stability, In the lives of those who use them as tools. We should shun with wisdom what is evil, And glorify with knowledge what is good. Better is the gift of learning than gold For ...

553. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- One Teardrop. [Poems]
... One Teardrop One teardrop fell from my Savior's eyes It must have been the hour before he died One teardrop after another for you and me He shed that teardrop from the tree. Can you accept Jesus in your heart today? One teardrop has changed others along the way Our precious Savior is calling your name His forgiveness and love are always the same. One teardrop from my Savior and King I know He will bless you in everything I wish that I could have wiped away His tears Just like, He wiped away my fears One teardrop that showed our Savior's love I know He was sent from heaven above Did you know He shed it for you and me? He died so that we would all be free.

... When the Well Goes Dry So many times my well is dry-I can't count. This is how I refill it. By the Love of My Father. Sometimes we feel empty with nothing left inside. We try numerous things to keep our sanity and pride. We try buying trinkets that bring us joy for awhile. But it never last for long and neither do the smiles. Then we try a drink or two, only deadening us for a time. So we try many other things that used to fit us fine. But nothing seems to help when our well inside goes dry. We are filled with emptiness with a heart that only cries. I don t know what you do then, but I go down on my knees. And ask God to refill my well and ask for his reprieves. He holds me in HIS arms and fills the depth of me. So I again can give to others to ...

556. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- When We Share. [Poems]
... When We Share When we share laughter, There's twice the fun; When we share success, We surpass what we've done. When we share problems, There's half the pain; When we share tears, A rainbow follows rain. When we share dreams, They become more real; When we share secrets, It's our hearts we reveal. If we share a smile, Then our love shows; If we share a hug, Then our love grows. If we share with someone On whom we depend, That person becomes Family or friend. And what draws us closer And makes us all care, Is not what we have, But the things that we share.

He spoke to me of man's great need-Forgiveness for our sin. But if we'd open wide our heart, Then Jesus would come in. I thought about what this friend said; Won'dring-could this be true? Then, on my knees, I prayed," Dear God, I want this life brand new" And in that instant Jesus came, Right straight into my heart. There, in His presence oh so real, I knew He'd not depart. My sins, completely washed away, My step, a whole lot lighter, A wave of love washed over me, And ev'rything seemed brighter. In that one eternal instant, My life forever changed; Priorities turned upside down; Desires were rearranged. Now ev'ry day I realize, ...

... The reason my faith is so weak, I don't attend church every week. As for reading my bible everyday, I don't, I'm ashamed to say. Many times trials come my way, It seems like most everyday. I don't pray as the bible tells us, So I have no right to go and fuss. The good news I can tell you now, To the Lord I will humbly bow. His arms will be reaching for me, And His love, I will plainly see. If I continue living in His love, Soon I will be in Heaven above. This is a day I'm longing to see, Through eternity, with Jesus I'll be. Even though now my faith is weak, It may be strong come next week. By going to church like I should, Faith will grow as Jesus said it would. [by: V. Elaine Ables 2002 (ElainesSpot @webtv.net)-submitted by: V ...

... attention to the headlines on the page. I was so much more aware of worldly news events, Middle age awakened me to such a broader sense. The carefree life I knew was gone of being worry free, Suddenly it seems that all events affected me. Worry of a world gone mad and worries of myself, Worries of a stable life and worries of my health. Worries of the future and just what it all will be, Worries of the ones I love that mean so much to me. Worry will not help a thing it only hinders health, But it seems as I get older I can't help myself. So as I sit and watch the world that has raced by so fast, I crave to have that carefree youth that I had in my past. As the years pile up on me they stop me in my tracks, Making me just realize what this old world still lacks. It lacks the love of life ...

He gave to us, this rainbow-so glorious to see-by giving up His only Son-out of Love for you and me. In return for God's rainbow, there are things He asks of us. Speak only good and helpful words-not those which are corrupt. Don't be arrogant or quick tempered. Live wisely and be fair. Live a devout and disciplined life-and your rainbow will be there. Live a life that's full and rich, but stay within God's rules. Remember you're accountable, for all you say and do. The Spirit of God lives within you, and guides you day and night.

Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, Transforming the yard to a winter delight. The sparkling lights in the tree I believe, Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve. My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep, Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep. In perfect contentment, or so it would seem, So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream. The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near, But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear. Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow. My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear, And I crept to the door just to see who was near ...

Before My Mother Died" Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death" (Song of Songs 8: 6 KJV) Before my Mother died Daddy always had a smile, Fun-loving, playful, upbeat~" carefree joy" described his style. Each day when he came home from work you'd hear his happy song, The men who worked beside him said he whistled all day long! He looked for folks that he could bless and hugged each who came near, Townfolk would rush up to his side to hear his jokes and cheer. His love was unconditional, he spread it far and wide~Yes, Daddy was a different man before my Mother died. After her death I never saw that glee once in his eyes. To me, Daddy seemed haunted by a ghost that never dies. Daddy went Home on August 12th, his suffering is no more ...
592. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Beloved Burden. [Poems]
... Beloved Burden Her guardian angel loved her, Maybe even more than I; He knew that he'd be going Home When told the day she'd die. He'd been there since her time of birth, Watched o'er her day and night; His brilliant wings would shelter her, He kept her in his sight. He knew her hopes, He knew her fears; He loved her laugh, He felt her tears. He wrote down every word she spoke, And heard her every prayer; He followed every step she took, Went with her everywhere. The pain she felt before her death Broke his strong heart in two; It grieved him when he saw her thus And nothing he could do. But when she breathed her final breath She saw his face so dear; She knew he'd been there all her life And now there was no fear. For in his hand she'd slip her own, And with him she would fly; His massive ...

With tears in His eyes, God looked down in time Saw Him spat upon, Beaten and mocked. Still, He grew the tree, That He knew would be Used to make The old rugged cross. Nothing took His life. With love He gave it. He was crucified, On the tree That He created. With great love for man God stayed with His plan He grew the tree, That He knew would be Used to make The old rugged cross.~Chuck Lawrence~[ Author unknown-received from Chris Long at 'Laugh & Lift ' (www.laughandlift.com)] Cartoons Daily Inspiration HOME Humor Messages Quotes Stories Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...

... Be Near Me I would climb the highest mountain, Just to touch your face, dear Lord. I would walk the deepest valley, If your hand there I could hold. I will stroll the crowded sidewalks Of the city where I live, To find the person who is hungry For the message that you give. Dark and bleak the cry is sounded From the jails so filled with pain. May I make for one a difference As I tell your love again. If today there is no fresh air From the mountain heights above, No touching your dear face To fill my aching heart with love; Still I know that You are with me In whatever task You give And the joy will come tomorrow If today, with You I live.

Our one on one relationship, with choices I had made. I know sometimes I hurt her, but she never let it known. Her understanding gentle heart, is why our friendship's grown. Unselfish in her attitude, unselfish with her time. Unselfish in her love for me, this special friend of mine. Many friends have come and gone, but this one always stays. I guess she's learned to overcome, my temperamental ways. She always makes me feel secure, when she is by my side. I know whatever bothers me, in her I can confide. I love the time we spend together, strengthening our bond. Oh, by the way, this friend of mine happens to be my MOM. [by James ...
... She saw the mother gaze in awe At the infant, in a manger laid. With one wee hand, she reached to pat The babe who was sleeping inside. Watching her stirred old memories; My heart loosed its stubborn pride. The hardened shell of bitterness Fell around me in shards of dross; As I knelt beside my daughter, I saw my Savior on a cross. I saw the old cross of Calvary Through the faith of a little child; Her love for Jesus quickened my own, The love I had too long denied. As the bells tolled out the good news, My heart joined in to sing their song; A visit to the stable brought me Back to the Savior, where I belong! She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. (Matthew 1: 21)~Connie Faust~Copyright 2011 All Rights ...

The Bible says: 'Two ' can withstand what overcomes just 'one. And also that-a 'Cord of Three ' can scarcely be undone. Besides, I know the ways of hurt-My heart's been crushed before. Friends have betrayed-I've lost at love, Despair's knocked at my door. And I Remember-Thoughts gone wild-And crying late at night. Not having strength to care at all-Much less the strength to fight. But, someone special came to me-And when my trials were told. I realized that with their tears-They'd eased my heavy load. And so, I learned-that Pain-like Love-Is bearable if shared.

... , Mary nodded" Yes" and smiled, Knowing that God had provided this small place to birth the Child. As the donkey watched in reverence, there, within the sparrow's sight; As a light shone 'round about them, the Christ Child was born that night. All the animals were struck with awe as scores of angels came, Giving praise to God on highest, giving glory to His Name. And that tiny stable came alive with joy and peace and love, As the Father poured His blessings out from Heaven up above. Yet today that same old question is repeated year-by-year," Where's the promise of His coming ?" unsaved men ask with a sneer. Taunting those of us who love Him, doubting sounds are often heard; As rejecting God, they question, scorning Jesus and His Word. But our Lord is surely coming, though blasphemers curse His Name; Though the scoffers ridicule us, He is coming, just the ...

We all knew about God and His Son, Going to Church was a pleasure, I am so thankful for those great days, When love was a family treasure.

He drank to keep his sanity and ease his worried mind, But even after worry left he still drank all the time. His friends would say they understood why he had one or two, But many nights he heard them say what's gotten into you? You do not drink to ease your mind it's not that hard to see, You lost control and now you drink to flee reality.

... Remember To Smile A smile can light a candle, In a lonely heart, It's like a sunny morning, That warms a new day's fresh start. Like a new mother's smile that cradles Her baby with pure love, Or a father's smile when he gives his young son, A new baseball glove. When we think about the world's sad woes, The hungry and the poor. We often do what is expected, But a smile will open the door. There's problems with acceptance Of so many strangers on our shore, But a warm smile can often lighten, Someone's day as never before. Sometimes a smile is like a rainbow, Shining through a misty cloud, That cheers an aggravated soul, In the midst of an unseeing crowd. Remember to smile today, Every where you go. It may not solve all the problems, But it will soften life's not so gentle blows. A smile is good medicine, It can turn ...
... , And count my every step ?" (Job 31: 14) He grasps my trembling hand, And gives me energy and pep. As I walk through the dark valleys, Stumbling, falling, crying out in pain, He is there beside me, Telling me it's not all in vain. Only those who walk in the shadows, Will ever really understand, How precious life can be, When God holds your trembling hand. The gentle warmth of my Savior's love, Brings a thankful sigh, And the sun begins to shine again, As angels sing praises from on high. It's only in the wilderness of life, That we will ever find our way, To knowing His wonderous glory, Where there's no sorrow or decay. I thank Him for my dark valleys, And for the courage to conquer tests, For now I am the winner, And I enjoy His peace and rest. And now I walk in green valleys, ...

Another day He has made To rejoice in His love. Another day closer To our home above. So rejoice in the day Whether gray skies or blue, Rejoice in the love That God has for you.-Lora Cox-[ by: Lora Cox Copyright 2003 (bell @evansville.net)-submitted by: Lora Cox] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
... Broken Before The Lord Broken before the Lord I came, Kneeling before Him confessing my shame. I saw love and compassion in His eyes, He had the answers to all of my why's. He knew how to fix my broken heart, Where sin and shame had torn it apart. I was so tired of living that way, I had nothing to offer, nothing to pay. I can't explain how He'd love me so, To forgive my sins, wash me white as snow, He took away all of my selfish pride, To become His purest spotless Bride. His Grace for me is awesome and sweet, Whatever He does I think it's so neat. I worship Him with heart and with soul, To please Him forever is my greatest goal. Glory to God, how I praise His name, He never changes, He's always the same. I introduce my precious Savior to you, I promise he'll fix your broken ...

On the third morning He arose from the grave, Behind that rock where He lay. Now He is our direct connection with God. Because of THAT breaking of day! If you feel Him tug at your heart, He only wants to come in. When you ask Him to come on inside. He will forgive all your sin! Repent, and turn away from your sins. Ask Him into your heart to stay. Then He can always be with you. Every weary step of the way! Praise His name and do His will. He gives us eternal life that's sure. He fills our ...

... way. And every year that passed us by brought new and greater things, We now can even program phones with music or with rings. Oh the simple life we lived still seems like so much fun, How can you explain a game, just kick the can and run. And why would boys put baseball cards between bicycle spokes, And for a nickel red machines had little bottled cokes. This life seemed so much easier and slower in some ways, I love the new technology but I sure miss those days.

I'm sitting here feeling so alone, Like I haven't a friend to lean on. I thought many times of ending it all, So many times I'd trip and fall. A friend of mine told me today, All that I need to do is pray. She said it would ease the pain, And so much peace I would gain. I considered what my friend had said, I prayed to God laying in my bed. After I prayed I felt such peace, All my troubles seem to cease. I never dreamed this could ever be, That God would love someone like me. I had a past that was of the devil, God has brought me to another level. God can help you ...

I just looked around the store to see what I could see, To see if maybe there was something that would interest me. Window shopping is an art and takes some time to do, You just can't glance at all the things placed right in front of you. At Christmas time I love to stroll the mall to look and see, But only after all my gifts are wrapped under the tree. This is not real shopping this is just a leisure time. To just enjoy the Christmas mood; A time to just unwind. I always see some little things they have there on display, That jog my mind and make me think of things of yesterday. Amazing how so many things will shake your memory, When you take the time to stop and see ...

Don't forget the sound of laughter, Or the love in someone's eyes, Don't trade memories for pleasures, All that in a moment dies. Don't give up your zest for living, Saying you are much too old, Is this what you feel, or is it Something that you have been told? There's a valley deep within us, Where there is an eternal Spring, Where there is no sound of sorrow, And the birds forever sing. Though your gait is not as steady now, As once it used to be, And your vision's clouding over things You used to clearly see, Do not let the weight of decades, Turn you into bitter gall, For with age there comes a wisdom, That is a blessing to us all.

Dear God, I've had no use for You, Yet they tell me You still love me; If what they say is the real truth, Place Your healing hand upon me. That day our Lord heard my prayer, As He brought me under His care; Gave me the gift of a miracle, Now all of His love I'd like to share.

Shielding us from the fiercest storms, That threaten to blow us away; Without His compassion and love, How would we ever find our way?

He went through the valley of death; His victory was Satan's loss. Forgive me Lord, for complaining When I'm feeling so very low. Just give me a gentle reminder That it's in the valleys I grow.

One gave you a nationality The other gave you a name. One gave you a talent The other gave you aim. One gave you emotions The other calmed your fears. One saw your first sweet smile The other dried your tears. One sought for you a home That she could not provide. The other prayed for a child And her hope was not denied.

Years passed and He grew, then in love He reached out. The miracles He worked should have left little doubt That this was God's Son, no ordinary man He, sent forth to deliver, to pardon, set free. He spoke of new life; and showed others the way to be granted forgiveness; receive salvation that day. But many were deaf to the truth of God's Word. They had ears to listen yet their hearts never heard. His ministry on earth brought Him not man's esteem, for many would reject that their souls He'd redeem. Still He ...

The love He so freely shares, With all His thankful children, When we show Him that we care.

... Another Christmas Another year is ending as I watch the Christmas tree, I have been doing this for over half a century. I smile as I cannot believe that I am now this age, And every Christmas it's as if I turn another page. My favorite thing to do each year is sit and reminisce, Peacefully at Christmas time, I love it just like this. The Christmas tree and candles burning giving off their light, And I just savor moments as I stare out in the night. The snow is softly falling and it's blanketing the trees, I love to sit and watch the snowfall on bright nights like these. The moon is shining brightly and the snowflakes glitter so, And all the world seems fresh and pure in newly fallen snow. I think about when I was young as I begin to dream, There was a time when you could use snow to make snowcream, Vanilla and some sugar and then you were ...

A dog must have a secret place Where every thought abides, A sort of close acquaintance that He trusts in and confides. And when accused unjustly for Himself, He cannot speak, Rebuked, He finds within his soul The comfort he must seek. He'll love, tho ' he is unloved, And he'll serve tho ' badly used, And one kind word will wipe away The times when he's abused.

Fossil fuels are in short supply, They say water is harder to find; Some don't have enough food to eat, Our air gets dirtier all the time. But each new day we get the chance, To renew the Love of our Savior; Through what we do and what we say, Through faith, we stay in His favor. That's The One life giving Resource, That through time will never run out; Even at the end of our trails, Our futures will not be in doubt. Our lives will be renewable, Unlike the petty things on earth; No future in simply dying, There's no life entombed in the dirt. Renew your faith each day my friends, There's no ...

If only this unhappy crowd could know That the Spirit of Christmas isn't tied with a bow And stacked in piles underneath the tree, He lives forever in you and in me.

... Thank You Lord Inspired by my late brother Kit Goins This prayer is to thank you for the peace we so often take for granted: For the sunsets on a quiet beach For the stars at night that are out of reach For the precious moments loved ones share And the things they do to show they care For the serenity of a warm gentle breeze For the times with you Lord down on my knees For the simple times when worries are few For the lessons learned for the wrongs we do For the pain, the struggles and the fear And for all the burdens that we bear For without these trials and tribulations we wouldn't experience prayers elation s Money, material goods and wealth aren't worth a thing without good health Help us not to forget the simple pleasures and remember that our hearts are hidden treasures For all that matters is what's inside In the end our souls will override~Kim Meyer~Copyright 2007 All Rights Reserved [by: ...

I'll make her spirit sweeter, And soften her a bit; I'll give her heart some extra warmth And love before I quit." And as the seasons come and go, You'll find she grows more dear; She'll be more precious in your eyes With each new passing year." And you must seek to please her, And keep the romance fresh; For she will be bone of your bones, And the flesh of your flesh" And that's how it first started, That's how it all began~God made a woman that same day, And gave her to the man.

... was very sad For I wanted her pleased with me. This slender girl from the shadowy past The girl that I used to be. So gently rising, I took her hand And guided her up the stairs Where peacefully sleeping, my babies lay Innocent, sweet, and fair. And I told her that these are my only gems, And precious they are to me; That silken robes is my motherhood Of costly simplicity. And my mansion of stately height is love, And the only career I know Is serving each day in these sheltered walls For the dear ones who come and go. And as I spoke to my shadowy guest, She smiled through her tears at me. And I saw the woman that I am now Pleased the girl I used to be.

To dye my hair? Ha! It still will be, I'll know its there, though no one sees. To yank it out? No, that won't do, It will come back with others too.

Well, Angels keep their promises, For mine is always there-To encourage and to understand, To comfort and to care. She's never very far away, And, now that I am grown, I am sharing with my Angel Little Angels of my own. And when my earthly Angel Walks the Earth with me no more, I'll never need to wonder Just what more God has in store. Long after she has done her job Among all living things, She'll forever be an Angel-But one who's got her wings. So, what DO Angels look like? You'll know one when you see. ...

... A Golden Chain Friendship is a Golden Chain, The links are friends so dear, And like a rare and precious jewel It's treasured more each year. It's clasped together firmly With a love that's deep and true, And it's rich with happy memories and fond recollections, too. Time can't destroy its beauty For, as long as memory lives, Years can't erase the pleasure That the joy of friendship gives. For friendship is a priceless gift That can't be bought or sold, But to have an understanding friend Is worth far more than gold. And the Golden Chain of Friendship Is a strong and blessed tie Binding kindred hearts together As the years go passing by.

Someone may have troubled you this day, Leaving you disgusted and discouraged too; Pause a moment and take time to pray, Let God have His loving way within you. It may be difficult for you to let-go, Pause and think of what Jesus would do; He is our Saviour and Best Friend to know, He wants to guide you all of life through. We must not let anger or bitterness take root, Jesus did not let these things enter into Him; We will be known to others by our fruit, Take a moment to forgive and begin again.

For the spiritual eyes He's given me, That allows me to clearly see, The works He does every day, His awesome and His gentle way. The blessings He's put in my life, To rid me of burdens and of strife. The transformations He's continually doing, The lives He saves and is pursuing.

I had thought He'd use His power to show He was Lord, But I knew that He was dead because I saw the sword. I had to go and see the men to see what they have heard, Rumors spread so quickly and you can't believe a word. People love to gossip and spread stories all around. I know the men are hiding they're afraid they may be found. Later on that evening when I knew it would be safe, I went to see the other men to see them face to face.

I prayed that He would let you know, That He will never let you go. That He'd pour blessings down on you, And make your grey skies turn to blue. I prayed that God would give you rest, And that He'd answer your request. I asked the Lord to touch your soul, Fill you with hope and make you whole.

I walked on and saw a little boy with no arms in a wheelchair, How could God be so cruel, and not show this boy any love or care? A school violence victim was next to cross my path, How could God let this little girl fall into violence s wrath? Lastly was a loner reading his Bible, while other kids passed him by, How could God not give this boy any friends, why, God, oh why? A thought struck me, and I stopped and looked around, For these people were not lost, they were God s servants; they were found. ...

... God's Helping Hands Just say Hi to those you meet, whether in stores or on the street. It will distract them from their worry, even though they're in a hurry. Just a smile upon your face will change your next door neighbor's pace. It will put a skip in their walk, instead of silence they will want to talk. Just a handshake can do much, it gives a stranger a friendly touch. You can give your love in many ways, spreading sunshine all your days. Just a little deed to help someone out, can lift a burden there's no doubt. Show your kindness everyday, for our master will repay. Just a prayer for those you know, could help someone when they are low. Our Lord hears and understands, and we are God's, helping hands. Just one thing and don't forget, make sure God, and your neighbors have met. Don't leave them hanging without a clue. ...
