Merciful Monday


God in his mercy

Gives to you this day

God in his mercy

Points to his way


God in his mercy

Sent you his own Son

God in his mercy

Forgives all you've done


God in his mercy

Pays your complete bail

God's tender mercy

Will not ever fail


God in his mercy

Washes sin's stain away

God in his mercy

Keeps Satan at bay


God in his mercy

Your burdens He'll bear

God and his mercy 

Will always be there


But, begging for mercy

Is no easy task

Yet, God's precious mercy

Is free if you ask


On knees ask for mercy

For your sinful ways

Then God's gracious mercy

Will fill all your days


In turn, then show mercy

To others you know

And that's how God's mercy 

Continues to grow


Then hope, love, and joy

Will replace dark and cold

And you'll see some of God 

In each face you behold


The light of God's mercy

Will shine on through you

And others will want to be merciful too


Matthew 5:7

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy


Luke 6:36

Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful 


Psalm 23:6

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever 


Psalm 103:8,51:1-2

Proverbs 28:13

240129 Feelings

Feelings Oh, those pesky feelings How they do get in the way I really don't feel like Doing anything today  I'm not really feeling it Is something I might say When adult responsibility  Is simply what's at play  I'll do that later on, perhaps When I feel in the mood And so put off important things  And not do things I should  My feelings can be fickle things One moment up; next down Can walk around with smiling face Which quickly turns to frown Too often, I give up control  To other's words and deeds Allowing feelings to be hurt And anger to proceed  And oh, how Satan loves to use Emotions that I feel To have me buy into his lies Believing they are real Then, acting on those feelings Oh, so quickly, without thought Bypassing close analysis  Not acting as I ought Of course, God gave us feelings We are not just some A.I. For suppressing all emotion  Is like living in a lie But balance between heart and mind Is how we hold the key To living with...

240528 Choose Joy

  Choose Joy Whenever there's a choice to make Let joy be path you choose to take When love and hate are on the scale Let love be one that does prevail When anger - patience doth compete And people we tend to mistreat It's said we sow in what we reap So, sow in patience- temper keep When circumstances bring you down And all you want to do is frown Choose happiness instead, my friend Then soon you'll see your sadness end I know it's easier said than done Often more battles devil's won But get back up and try some more  For after all, God's won the war Choose kindness 'stead of getting back Instead of shortness, practice tact With every godly choice you make The devil's grip begins to break With practice, then quite soon you'll see Good choices come more easily Thus, love and joy will conquer strife Becoming hallmark of your life

240125 Let Others Do It

Let Others Do It Don't really want to put self through it And so I'll just let others do it I'm certain it's too hard for me Sure others can more easily  Don't want to put the effort in Thus, wait for others to begin Not my responsibility  So, really don't depend on me No interest in taking the lead So, wait for others to proceed Though help is needed for a task Don't have the time, so please don't ask Need someone to sit on committee  Look anywhere, but don't look at me I have no interest in the least Besides, don't have the expertise  Ever notice when there's work to do It's often left to just a few The others somehow must be lead Or they'll just stand around instead Perhaps they are a lazy lot  That might be true, but it might not For certainly, there's those that shirk Responsibility and work For some, it's lack of confidence  So initiating makes them tense A fear that they may not succeed Disables them, so don't proce...
