It Is Not Your Fault
Posted on March 30, 2014 | By Virginia White Jones
It Is Not Your Fault
There are days you may have thoughts
About the “bad things” that happened to you
To God, you are special
He will make your life brand new
There is no need to feel guilty
Believing it was your fault
You are an innocent victim
The uncaring did not halt
When someone takes advantage of you
They have problems of their own
It’s easier for them to point the blame
To avoid facing what is already known
God knows all about the secret places
Filled with agony, pain, and tears
He will restore you to wholeness
Which will keep you through the years
It is not your fault
God is working all things out
You are his beautiful creation
Your faith will remove all doubt
God works in mysterious ways
So hold your head up high
He will render justice on your behalf
Keep reaching for the sky
For those who have been sexually abused, God loves you!!!
Zephanhiah 3:17
The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.

Through The Eyes Of A Child- A Special Christmas Gift
Posted on March 30, 2014 | By Virginia White Jones
Through The Eyes Of A Child – A Special Christmas Gift
Cherish as well as encourage children as they have feelings too. Allow them to express themselves in different ways- art, drawings, letters, poetry, paintings, etc. It is good for the young soul as well as to help reduce anger, aggression, depression, and anxiety. This is a letter written by and through the eyes of a 12 year old. Instead of a “regular” gift, a wonderful letter was received. (uncensored) It was the best gift besides Jesus birth, that I could receive.
An appreciation letter written by my granddaughter
Dear Grammy,
Here is a letter to tell you how much I appreciate you. First, I’d liked to say how much good advice you have given me when I was sick, when I lie, or even when I felt hurt. You have expanded my horizon for trying new things, and making new friends, even though they might be different from me. You have showed me how to be a loyal citizen and how to appreciate others hard work. In the 12 years, I have shared being your granddaughter, I will never forget these bright moments, when you take me shopping, when you pick me up from school, or even spending time with you in your big mansion. You have taught me manners, given me tips on how to choose nice and loyal friends. I will never forget these moments, now and forever. In a few words, I’d just like to say thank you, thank you, and thank you. I will never forget this, and I hope you don’t either.
Love
Your granddaughter

Why Should You Want To Live
Posted on March 30, 2014 | By Virginia White Jones
Why Should You Want To Live?
Your life is the most precious gift
that you will ever own
Almighty God created you
It is He to whom your life belongs
He wants you to have happiness
Peace, joy, and all the rest
When storms of life come your way
Still strive to do your very best
Though you may feel like giving up
When life’s burdens begin to mount
Keep your heart and mind focused on God
It’s your relationship with Him that counts
You are somebody special in God’s eyesight
With Love and patience He molded you
To live your life to the fullest for Him
That’s what He requires you to do
Thoughts about taking your life is straight from the devil. God created you in His own image. God loves you so much that He sent His son Jesus to die for you. Think about the sacrifice He made for you and dwell on His love.

Give Me My Dignity
Posted on March 30, 2014 | By Virginia White Jones
Give Me My Dignity
Don’t think because I am getting old
That I have lost my way
My body may be changing
But God is with me throughout each day
God has brought me through many years
I faced valleys, hills, and mountain peaks
He gives me strength, wisdom, and favor
His promises, He always keeps
As I begin to age gracefully
I need love, care, and respect
I still have much to share with you
As God prepares me for my heavenly step
I want to give you hope for the future
Our generations need to know
God will never leave or forsake you
The Living Word tells us so
I am proud to live out my golden years
I still have my dignity
God gave me His essence before I was born
So you can’t take it away from me
Give Me My Dignity
Isaiah 46:4
Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he,
I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you

Let Go – Let God
Posted on March 30, 2014 | By Virginia White Jones
Let Go- Let God
The hardest part of letting go
is hampered by our pride
It’s difficult to let others know
What we feel inside
Disappointment, pain, and tears
sometimes too hard to bear
We start to let go, but then cannot
Our hearts are locked with fear
There is no need to be anxious about
the control we hate to lose
God holds the reins to the universe
We have only to choose
To lean on His eternal wisdom
His strength and knowledge will surpass
Your worries, thoughts, and actions
Only God’s way will last
So let go, and let God
Move self out of the way
God’s loving hands beckon you
Let Him work things out today

Cherish The Woman
Posted on March 30, 2014 | By Virginia White Jones
Cherish The Woman
Cherish the woman
Who talks with God each day
Gaining patience, strength, and courage
To walk the narrow way
With her hands she labors tirelessly
Striving to do good deeds
Humbly serving behind the scenes
Thinking only of others needs
In her quiet, gentle manner
She lends a listening ear
To those who seek understanding
That God is forever near
She whispers words of encouragement
Sprinkled with love and smiles
Her prayers are offered to God with faith
Which will carry you across the miles
A woman should be cherished
For the spiritual fruit she bears
A mother, wife, and friend to all
A disciple, who shows that she cares

Visions: Why Me Lord? Because You Are A Dreamer
Posted on March 30, 2014 | By Virginia White Jones
Visions: Why Me Lord?
Because You Are A Dreamer
God’s visions are for the dreamer
who reaches for the highest height
He does not focus on obstacles
But keeps God’s will in sight
Though the task seems overwhelming
and others say it cannot be done
The dreamer waits patiently in prayer
To “hear” how battles are won
First God shows you the mountain peak
with each ledge a place to rest
Look up to Him as you climb
With assurance you will conquer the quest
Then use your gifts and talents
as you ascend each hill
All other things will be added by God
To carry out His will
For visions are given to the dreamer
to win more souls for Christ
To work each day on earth for Him
Until we reach paradise

A Prayer Of Praise
Posted on March 30, 2014 | By Virginia White Jones
A Prayer of Praise
I praise you Lord, for you are a magnificent God. You created the heavens and the earth, yet find the time to be concerned about my everyday problems, large and small.
I praise you Lord for taking care of every detail. The world you created is to beautiful and purposeful, the sunny days, sunsets, stars, moon, flowers, and birds. I am so glad that “your thoughts and ways are higher than my thoughts and ways, as far as the heavens are from the earth.”
I praise you Lord, for your knowledge which is greater than the sands on the beach. At the right time, you have sent people to encourage and uplift me, to keep me from drowning in frustration and loneliness. Your timing is so perfect.
I praise you Lord, for your infinite wisdom which is matchless. Without you to lead, guide, and mold me as I travel the pathways of life, I do not know what I would do.
I praise you Lord, for the ultimate show of your love for me, through sending your Son, Jesus Christ. When I invited Jesus to come into my life, to be the Lord of my life, a wonderful change came over me.
Now I can look forward to spending eternity with you – to meet you face to face. Just to behold your face Lord, gives me hope for tomorrow. I praise you Lord.
Psalm 150:2
Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Loneliness
Posted on March 30, 2014 | By Virginia White Jones
Loneliness
There are times when you may feel lonely
When family and friends are gone
God will send someone here on earth
To help you to keep strong
When days and nights seem dreary
and you have nowhere to turn
Cherish having an experience with God
For you have much to learn
A life that thrives on people and places
often leads to despair
People leave, places change
and you feel that no one is near
A life that thrives on God’s goodness
is one that can ride the tide
of loneliness- whatever may come
For you know in God you abide

Believe In Yourself
Posted on March 28, 2014 | By Virginia White Jones
When life’s trials seems overwhelming
You feel that you have been let down
Believe in yourself
God will surely turn things around
Listen: God wants to help you
He has given you talents, skills and gifts
Believe in yourself
For He is always in your midst
Support from others may not come
At a time when you need it the most
Believe in yourself
God sends you angels and His heavenly hosts
You have many hidden treasures
That God placed inside of you
So you can believe in yourself
God knows the road you are traveling to
With God’s help you can soar like an eagle to the highest heights!
