"Let Us Thank
Him"
My God has
chosen to bless me,
With each new passing
day.
He's given me so much
more in life,
Than mere words could
ever say.
There was
an emptiness inside of me,
That only my God, above
could fill.
And when my
Savior reach deep inside,
He left no
doubt that He's for real.
There's so much to
be thankful for,
Yet so many
things we take for granted,
Like how we're blessed
in so many ways,
With the things to us,
He's handed.
So this year, I'd
like to ask you Lord,
To Bless my cousin's
daughter.
Although she's very sick
right now,
There's no doubt,
you've not forgot her.
She's fought so
hard the past two years,
This November, she'll
be twenty nine,
With
Hodgkin's making her body weak,
Father, I only wish
it could be mine.
We can't imagine
how her parents feel
Watching, fearing she may
slip away.
While God knows, they
want nothing more,
Than for Him to let
their daughter stay.
She's always had
this dream to be happy,
Marry, and have a loving
child of her own.
We must remember,
God is still into Healing,
As He watches
her, from upon His Throne.
Let us all say a
prayer for her today,
And thank him for what
she'll receive,
If we each and everyone
take a moment,
And in His name, all
agree and Believe!
Amen

"Going
Home"
Days of youth, mortally
spent
Memories amused with
contentment.
Done is an era, my moment
to go home
Where cherubs and angels
eternally roam.
The Angel of Death posed
to implore
Our journey ascends to
heaven’s door.
Dark days on earth are
now behind
‘T is Light of my
Brother, O so kind.
I abide close by our
Father’s knee
With humbled eyes that
now really see.
When He places hand upon
my head
His boundless love known,
words unsaid.
The gift He gave me, so
long
I now give to back—I
love Him so.

"Autumn"
Just
wanted you to know it's Autumn
The time
of falling leaves
Even tho'
Winter's coming
And for
some, this season grieves
But for
me, I LOVE the Fall
The
cooler, crisper days
The signs
of Summer's passing
And time
to change, some ways.
We'll put
away the summer things
Looking
forward to Festivals too
Without
the Summer heat
The sky
seems a brighter blue!
New
Holidays are coming
With
CHRISTMAS at the end of the year
Simple
anticipation now
Brings
everyone some cheer!
So, enjoy
these pretty days
The smell
that Autumn knows
The colors
all so vibrant
Bringing
end to all that grows.
Look
forward to the next season
GOD gave
us all four you know
So enjoy
each one as it comes
Too soon,
it too will go!

"MY
THANKSGIVING PRAYER TO YOU"
My Thanksgiving prayer
to you from me;
Is for love strong and true
that you hold within thee.
A heart that beats steady
and holds love within;
For your brothers and sisters
and all creatures by Him.
A soul that is worthy
of all of His love;
That is given to you
from the Heavens above.
Food on your table
that you thank the Lord for;
Friends to surround you
forever and more.
A house filled with love
and the light how it shines;
Showing all of its beauty
till the end of time.
Kindness towards others
for all of your days;
To be returned I pray
in many a way.
A good job to keep you
and pay all your bills;
That you spend it all wisely
and not on the frills.
A family around you
that is loving and true;
That you all stand together
for there are so few.
Children to bless you
if that is God's will;
To cherish and nourish
so your life is fulfilled.
Dreams of pure beauty
as you lay there and sleep;
Through the peaceful night
when darkness is deep.
An angel to guide you
through morning and night;
To protect you and love you
till the end of your plight.
And last but most important
your love for God will shine through;
To the Heavens above
for He's waiting for you.
Amen and God bless!

"Thanksgiving
To Me"
What a time of
the year to say "Thanks to Him!"
Thanks to those wonderful Friends.
Thanks to those lives that touched ours in the past,
But have gone to meet Jesus, now "Home at Last".
We could say Thank you a million times you see,
But never could we reach that goal,
Set by our Wonderful Savior that day on Mt. Calvary
Worth more to us today than silver or gold.
Thanksgiving time is a time to profess,
To loved ones and friends.
Get it all right, bury the past,
Learn that Love and Understanding endures to the end.
Say kind words of happiness and cheer.
Make this a habit, hey, all through the year.
Praise God each day of your life.
Oh yes, it's the killer of strife.
Your Father and Mother, give them a hug.
Your Children, my what a gift!
Friends are precious, so don't shrug.
Tell them you Love them, pass on the gifts.
Now, as you gather Thanksgiving Day,
Give Thanks and Praise to our Father God.
And when day is over,
The Memory - The Path Which He Trod.....

"ANTICIPATED
REUNION"
Oh, Lord,
I ask not for great riches,
Of silver
and of gold,
Or houses
or lands to possess,
And ever
to hold;
But, one
thing mainly,
I do ask
of you,
This is my
heart's cry,
Indeed,
Lord, 'tis true,
That when
we're called home,
At the end
of this day,
This is
what I desire,
The thing
I most pray:
As we are
gathered in,
From all
over the land,
I'll meet
and embrace
The whole
family band.

"Give
Thanks"
Autumn
leaves are falling,
Pretty colors everywhere.
Thanksgiving day is almost here,
Another day that we may share.
The things
we take for granted
Are blessings from above.
The needs He has provided,
Were given to us in love.
Let's give
thanks for what we have,
Bow our heads and together pray.
As we join our friends and family,
On this Thanksgiving Day.

As I start
my Day
When I wake and see the Light
I thank Him for another day.
Help me Lord, to see and do things Your way.
I start my day thanking Him for Loving me.
I speak to Him as A dear dear friend, as a brother and a shield.
He is my comfort and my Light.
My day ends, He helps me know, with Him by my side the world becomes real
wide, to explore and to think,
I will run and tell Jesus, with Him I am not weak.
