Poems...
I Was Hurting Today By Flora Monroe
On the outside I was smiling, on the inside I was grieving.
My friends did not know that my smile was deceiving.
Although they asked, "How are you today dear?"
I answered "OK" and held back a tear.
So with a smile and a hug, they went their own way,
not ever knowing that I wasn't "OK".
Father, forgive me, for I've made your heart sad.
For you sent them my way, to make my heart glad.
Please help me Lord, to receive from them love.
To accept with sincerity, the warmth of their hug.
Help me Lord to see that they care,
to be open and honest, my burdens to share.
To believe in my heart, that you sent them my way,
for Father you care, that I was hurting today
The Best Day of My Life - Author Unknown
Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever! There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did! And because I did I'm going to celebrate!
Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make me stronger.
I will go through this day with my head held high, and a happy heart. I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts: the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds. Today, none of these miraculous
creations will escape my notice.
Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people. I'll make someone smile. I'll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone I don't even know. Today, I'll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down. I'll tell a child how special he is, and I'll tell someone I love just how deeply I care for her and how much she means to me.
Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don't have and start being grateful for all the wonderful things God has already given me. I'll remember that to worry is just a waste of time because my faith in God and his Divine
Plan ensures everything will be just fine.
And tonight, before I go to bed, I'll go outside and raise my eyes to the heavens. I will stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon, and I will praise God for these magnificent treasures.
As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow, I will thank the Almighty for the best day of my life. And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child, excited with expectation because I know tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever!
The Holy Bible and the T.V. Guide - Author Unknow
They lie on the table side by side
The Holy Bible and the T.V. Guide
One is well worn and cherished with pride
Not the Bible, but the T.V. Guide
One is used daily to help folks decide
No, not the Bible, but the T.V. Guide
As the pages are turned, what shall they see?
Oh, what does it matter, turn on the T.V.
So they open the book in which they confide
No, not the Bible, but the T.V. Guide
The Word of God is seldom read
Maybe a verse before they fall into bed
Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be
Not from reading the Bible, from watching T.V.
So then back to the table side by side
Lie the Holy Bible and the T.V. Guide
No time for prayer, no time for the Word
The plan of Salvation is seldom heard
But forgiveness of sin, so full and free
Is found in the Bible, not on T.V.
Why God Made Families - Emily Matthews
When creation was finished,
each star in its place,
God cradled the earth
in His thoughtful embrace,
And, knowing that there
would be problems to face,
His wonderful plan came to be...
For he wanted His children
to learn to be strong,
And not become frightened
if things should go wrong,
So He placed in each heart
a desire to belong
Somewhere they felt needed, yet free...
Then He added acceptance
and patience and trust,
Love that was selfless
and caring and just,
Where questions were welcome
and laughter a must...
And He called His great gift "family".
Pathway of Pain - Author Unknown
If my days were untroubled and my heart always light,
Would I seek that fair land where there is no light?
If I never grew weary, with the weight of my load,
Would I search for God's peace at the end of the road?
If I never knew sickness, and never felt pain,
Would I search for a hand to help and sustain?
If I walked without sorrow, and lived without loss,
Would my soul seek solace at the foot of the cross?
If all I desired was mine day by day,
Would I kneel before God and earnestly pray?
If God sent no winter, to freeze me with fear,
Would I yearn for the warmth of spring every year?
I ask myself these and the answer is plain,
If my life were all pleasure and I never knew pain
I'd seek God less often and need Him much less
For God is sought more often in times of distress.
And no one knows God or sees Him as plain
As those who have met Him on the "Pathway of Pain."
