230104 Tell Them

 Tell Them

Tell them that you love them

Don't delay it; don't be slow

Tell them that you love them

Just in case they might not know


Tell them that you love them

For you really know you do

Tell them that you love them 

So that they will know it, too


Don't assume that they may know it

Just because it once was said

Or because you say you think it

Somewhere, there up in your head


Or believe that they should know it

Through some action or some deed

Thinking really that should be enough 

And that is all they need


For the words are so important 

Should be spoken right out loud

For in voice, they carry power

Not just hidden behind shroud


You may find that when you say them

Echoes come right back, it's true

For, you also need to hear them

From someone who's dear to you


Oh, those words, they sound like music

Joyful melody to the ear

Sweet honey tasted on the tongue 

Something so lovely to hear


For, to hear "dear, how I love you!"

The most beautiful of phrase

It lifts our hearts and spirits

And so brightens up our days


For it's Abba's greatest blessing 

To love others and be loved

It's what Father God created

And indeed what he's made of


For he showed us its true meaning

With a baby's manger birth

And it's only through a Savior 

We can know of its great worth


So, tell them that you love them

Say it often, every day

And know God loves you also

Every moment, every way


Yes, tell them that you love them

Through a whisper or a shout

It will be the greatest words you speak

Of that, there is no doubt


John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him shall not parish but have everlasting life

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...
