 Don't! Stop! Don't Stop!

When devil whispers in your ear
And tells you, live your life in fear
Don't! Stop!
Your Savior says, "Fear not."
(Isaiah 41:10)

When sadness you are going through 
And crying seems all you can do
Don't! Stop!
Joy comes in the morning
( Psalm 30:5)

When every day is met with dread
And worries always fill your head
Don't! Stop!
"Don't let your hearts be troubled..."
(John 14:1)

When frustration is at a peak
And angry words you want to speak
Don't! Stop!
"Kind words are like honey..."
(Proverbs 16:24)

When someone takes advantage of you
Get even's what you want to do
Don't! Stop!
Vengeance is mine, says the Lord
(Romans 12:19)

When feeling weak; all strength is gone
Want to give up; just can't go on
Don't Stop!
"Be strong and courageous" 
(Joshua 1:9)

When Father seems so far away
Although you seek him every day 
Don't Stop!
"Seek and ye shall find"
(Matthew 7:7-8)

When doing good seems waste of time
And those you help - they only whine
Don't Stop!
"Never cease doing good"
(Galatians 6:9)

When want to trust, but filled with doubt
And faith seems to be running out
Don't Stop!
 God is faithful
(Proverbs 3:5)

When progress seems painfully slow
And you're not sure which way to go
Don't Stop!
Jesus answered, "I am the way..."
(John 14:6)

When weary, though you've done your best
The job's not done, but need some rest
Don't Stop!
Christ says, "Come to me..."
(Matthew 11:28-30)

Don't Stop believing God is good
Don't Stop behaving as you should
Don't Stop treating each other nice
Don't Stop trusting in Jesus Christ
Fresh start in life has just begun
Don't Stop until your race is won!

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...
