Give Me My Dignity

Posted on March 30, 2014 | By

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Why Me Lord? Because I Love You

Posted on March 27, 2014 | By

Why Me Lord?
Because I Love You

Why me Lord?
I strive to do your will
and follow in you way
Each morning that I awaken
I kneel down to pray

Why me Lord?
I praise you for your mighty works
Your sunrise, sunsets, I lift you high
Yet, before the ending of a day
There times I have to cry

Why me Lord?
Trials and tribulations
seem to be my second name
For the burdens of life get so heavy
I wonder if I will be the same
BUT
When I think about how you dried my tears
In the middle of the night
And whispered in my ears
That everything will be all right

In the middle of the storms
You give me peace within
Even though I do not deserve it
For I too have sinned

You sent your Son to hang on the cross
His suffering so terrible to bear
To show how much you loved me
That you truly, truly care

My troubles in this world cannot compare
To your greatest sacrifice
Jesus died on the cross for me
So that I may have eternal life
WHY NOT ME?

God Is Our Provider

Rabbit
First glance at this picture, you may think that this rabbit is sitting all alone.

Look again!!! The rabbit is looking at all of the blessings that God has surrounded him with – plenty of grass and nutrients to eat. God does the same for us, providing all that we need. You, like the rabbit may be sitting or standing in the middle of your blessing. Change your perspective, take off the blinders, and start praising God for His provision.

Stepping Out On Faith

Posted on March 14, 2014 | By

The first step is the hardest
When stepping out on faith
For you cannot see what lies ahead
There are times when you must wait

Though you cannot see the wind
The trees and flowers as they grow,
You can feel the breeze and see the beauty
Some things only God will know

You cannot see God’s decisions
On how a way will be made
His voice harkens: Step out on faith my child
Your success is guaranteed

Faith is not based on what you can see
Nor what you or any man may know
Faith is based on a belief
That God has told you so

When you take the first step out on Faith
Know that God has you in hand
He can move mountains, streams, and valleys
Unlike any other man
