231208 Let's Not Forget

 Let's Not Forget

The frenzy has now started

There are carols being sung

Everyone seems more kindhearted 

Christmas season has begun

Every child's a joyful hopper

Great excitement fills the air

All the stores are full of shoppers

The big tree has lit town square 

Christmas cookies in the oven

Rudolph, Frosty on t.v.

Wrapping gifts for those we're lovin'

Is that little one for me?

Red and green, the season's colors

On the packages and bows

Some are sister's, some are brother's 

Whose is this one? No one knows

Every house is extra pretty

Decorations fill each room

Even buildings in the city

Light the night; chase winter's gloom

Stockings hung by fireplaces

Christmas cards are in the post

As we rush at frantic paces

Let's not forget what matters most

For the cards and gifts are lovely

And there's magic in the air

But it's really 'bout a baby

Born alone in stable bare

For the greatest gift the world has known

Can't fit beneath a tree

The LORD above stepped off his throne

To rescue you and me

A Miracle of love profound

Too wondrous to believe 

For in a lowly, ancient town

A virgin did conceive

And through the birth of blessed babe

Nothing was as it seemed

God's love was manifest; souls saved

Our sinful lives redeemed

Our fallen world, forever changed

Black darkness pierced with light

With faith and hope, lives rearranged

On that miraculous night

So carol, sure and wrap and bake

But not forget there's more

There's praise to give and time to take

There's Savior to adore!


Isaiah 9:6

" For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given..."

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...
