THE MORE YOU GIVE,

THE MORE YOU GET.....

THE MORE YOU LAUGH,

THE LESS YOU FRET.....

THE MORE YOU DO

UNSELFISHLY, THE MORE

YOU LIVE ABUNDANTLY.

THE MORE YOU LOVE,

THE MORE YOU'LL FIND,

THAT LIFE IS GOOD

AND FRIENDS ARE KIND.

MOTHER'S DAY

MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER KENDRA, MADE THIS CROSS STITCH FOR ME A FEW YEARS AGO.  IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL I WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL, I THINK ITS FITS TODAY.  PAT

MOTHER’S DAY

M  Is for the million things

…..Mothers do each day

…..To make of home a happy place

     Where children love to play.

O..Is for the others whom

…..Each mother gladly serves,

…..But who, so seldom think of her

…..With love she well deserves.

T…Is for her toil and trust,

…  Her tolerance and tears,

…  And for the thousand things we learn

…  From her throughout the years.

H   Is for her loving heart,

…  Her gentle helping hands,

…  And also for her honesty

…  She teaches and demands.

E…Is for her smiling eyes

…  Which give encouragement,

…  And for the earnest way she tries

…  To make our lives content.

R…Is for the right –well earned—

…  To bear the name of “MOTHER”

…  And, so, today, and every day,

…  Let’s show her that we love her!

Today we celebrate Mothers and
all women!

STANDING AT THE DOOR

                     HE WAITS

He stood outside my heart’s door knocking

Waiting to possess my heart

And I heeded not His tender whisper

But He waited, His heart filled with love.

When, at last, my heart all torn and broken

My soul filled with arrogance and pride,

I stopped to think of how I had ignored Him,

I found Him waiting patiently outside.

At the time, when He was really needed,

He was there to cleanse my heart, of sin and shame,

And though I felt I never could deserve it,

He heard me, Praise His holy name.

He was there!  Outside my heart’s door waiting,

What mercy that He had stayed so long!

For I had made Him wait, unheeding,

And repeatedly had done things wrong.

But, now I’ve opened the door to my heart

And my Savior gives me love, and strength and peace

And I stand in awe and wonder, and gratitude

Because of His atonement, my love for Him, will never cease!

WHAT PRAYER CAN DO

 WHAT PRAYER CAN DO

“Lord, what a change within us one short hour makes

Spent in Thy Presence will prevail to make!

What heavy burdens from our bosom take,

What parched grounds refresh us as with a shower!

 We kneel and all around us seems to lower;

We rise, and all the distant and the near

Stand forth in sunny outline, brave and clear.

 We kneel, how weak!

We rise how full of power!

 Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,

Or others—because we are not always strong;

 That we are ever over burdened with care;

That we should ever weak or heartless be,

Anxious or troubled when with you is prayer,

And joy and strength and courage are with thee?”

The Dean of Westminster

This is an old poem, with a great message it will be included in my e-book that should be out soon.

I think this is the picture that will be the cover of my e-book.

LIBERTY AND FREEDOM

• 

I love our Founding Fathers, How proud of them am I,
They were real statesmen, they were builders of out nation,
for the future generations.  

 I want freedom for my children and grandchildren.
I want to live under the banner of the Constitution, the God given Constitution, with the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence. 
 These are our charters of Liberty. This is our banner, and our flag "Old Glory" symbolizes our love of country and the principles it was founded on.  

The fireworks are thrilling to watch as they light up the sky,
as we celebrate the 4th of July.  
The lights are so beautiful,  and it is symbolic too, 
because without it's principles to remove the darkness that envelopes the nation, our rights would be taken away from me and you!

Wealth and prosperity are part of the American Dream, 
and we will never give up on it, no matter how it seems.
We have faith in this Nation because it is God given, 
planned for us, our inalienable rights and our posterity,
 throughout all eternity.

Liberty and freedom are my quest,
I will do my very best, 
and my Lord and Savior will do the rest.
I will befriend the Constitution, keep it's principles, dear,
This is my oath and I make it very clear!

JESUS IS RISEN

 ATONEMENT

HE LIVES AGAIN

Down from glory came our blessed Savior,
Came to free us all from sin and shame.
Though he knew His life would end in Calvary,
Still He came to save us!  
Praise His Name!

Jesus came!  Yes He came,
And upon the cross one day, was slain,
Jesus came!  
Praise His name!
Now a soul that is lost may live again.

Though He knew the pain that He would suffer
Still, in His great love, He came to earth;
Paid for us a price of untold suffering;
Offering us a gift of priceless worth.

For this gift we thank Thee, 
blessed Savior!
Help us to follow you we pray,
Let us follow thy example, Lord
And be baptised in the right way!
That this sacrifice you made to save us
May not be in vain, dear Lord, we pray!
