231205 New Day of Life

 New Day of Life

Thank you,  dear God, I'm still alive

My time on earth's not through

You've given me new day of life

Means there's still work to do

Show me your perfect will for it

How would you have me live 

I praise you for the gift of it

Gift only you can give

May I not squander it away

In trivial pursuit 

But use it for your glory 

Leading others to your truth

May all the choices that I make

Be pleasing ones to you 

So when I reach the end of it

And earthly life is through 

I will have made a difference 

For your kingdom while was here

So , "good and faithful servant"

Are the words from God I'll hear

Until that final day has come 

And my last breath is drawn

May I serve you, Father, faithfully 

Cherish each new breaking dawn

So, I thank you, Lord, with all my heart

For the rising of the sun

You have blessed me with new day of life

For your glory, live each one


Psalm 118:24

This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it


Psalm 90:14

Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love that we may rejoice and be glad all our days


Job 38:12

Have you commanded the morning since your days began and caused the dawn to know its place


James 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change


Psalm 5:3, 46:5, 57:8

240606 The Word You Use

 T he Words You Use Be careful 'bout the words you use For words can injure; words can bruise Be careful 'bout the things you say For hurtful words, one's soul can slay It's not just words you use, but tone For tone has meaning all its own And if you've raised a teenage child You know their tone's what drives you wild The words you use carry such weight To express love or start debate For kind words can be source of life But biting words breed only strife A loving word makes someone's day Like honey, are kind words you say Yet, angry words, spoken in haste Will only leave a bitter taste  Don't know 'bout you, but I feel bad If speak unkind because I'm mad And though I'm sorry in the end Know they can't be unheard again Repaired relations come with price Won't have to pay if just talked nice The damage is already done  Though the word battle you have won The Word says tongue's a two edged sword  And words once said can't be ign...

231110 How Did I Get Here?

How Did I Get Here? How did I get here? I don't know Seemed sometimes fast, other times slow Though, does not matter what the pace Still wonder how came to this place How did I reach this point in time? Reality of it's so sublime For most of journey was uphill Through hard fought land, yet, I'm here still How did I get from there to here? In baby steps year after year? Know sometimes how I reached this place Was through tremendous leaps of faith But, other times, through missteps went To places that I never meant Through valleys deep or forests dark Through turbulent waters full of shark Yet, oh, so many times I've found That when I stop to look around  The sun is shining on my face And I am in a lovely place A place with lush, green, rolling hills With irises and daffodils  A place of rest, peace, and beauty  Exactly where I want to be I've found as I trek on my way Sometimes have both in the same day Day can begin as walk in park Then suddenly turn very dark Or st...

241210 'Tis the Season

  'Tis the Season  'Tis the season to be jolly With mistletoe, pine boughs, and holly Yet, what if jolly's not your mood  But melancholy, you exude What if the carols in the air Remind you of someone not there Or crackling fire's bright light and heat Can't chase the cold of empty seat What if season's not full of thrills But full of lack and unpaid bills Though sugarplums fill your kid's head You know they'll get little instead  Perhaps in place of peace, good will You have a loved one very ill So thoughts don't turn to season's din But doctors visits, medicines While others have house full of guests All you have though is loneliness  The kids have grown and moved away So it's not the same holiday How blessed if season's joyous one But it is not for everyone  For most December brings good cheer For some, it's hardest time of year Whatever circumstance you claim The Christmas message's still the same That hope came through a baby...
