Whatever the Question Calvary is the answer.

Whatever the Question
Calvary is the answer.
There the price was paid
For the forgiveness we have today
No need to delay
To come to the one who died for us
No need to hesitate or fear
He waits there for us
And our prayers for forgiveness
He hears.

What Love Is

Love is not Romeo and Juliet
Dying together in their youth
But love that lasts until youth is gone
And still singing together love's sweet song.

Love is helping remember things
That each spouse needs to know
Loving to be near each other
And daily telling them so.

Loving is helping with a walker
When frail limbs need help to move
Just as tenderly and lovingly
As when you danced to your grove.

Love is putting eyedrops in eyes
When the hands tremble or shake
Gently helping lift a spouse
As if they might break.

Love is listening to each other
When the story has been told before
While looking at them with eyes which though dim
Show that they are the ones you adore.

Love is patient and kind
And does not go away when times are rough
But draws true lovers closer together
As though they can not be close enough.

Love is there when life is at its end
On this fragile earthly plane
Love is looking toward eternity
When you will see your love again.

Got to Praise Him!

Off to church this morning
I've got to praise the Lord
He has given me so many blessings
And promises a Heavenly reward
For all of those who love Him
And seek to do His will
That is why I praise His Name
And why I always will.
He saved me from the depths of sin
Sent His Son to die for me
So many years ago
On that awful, horrible tree
And takes the time to show His love
For the likes of you and me.
That's why have to praise Him
And will forevermore
He is the one died for me-
And the One I'm living for!

Procrastination

Procrastination

I awoke on Monday
With a poem about procrastination
Filling up the brain space in my head
But since it was early-I went back to bed.

Tuesday would be soon enough.
To write, I would not forget,
But when Wednesday came around
I had not written it yet.

Thursday, I postponed it,
I put off the little task
And when Friday came around
(Do you really have to ask?)

Today is Saturday
And to define procrastination
In a few chosen lines of verse
Is the choice for me to do
Without taking time to rehearse.

No more avoiding the challenge,
No more deferring it in any way
I will do this thing-
And not wait another day.

Alas, it has been so long
Since I recorded my intention
That I seem to have forgotten
The actual definition!!

Our Gifts

Sometimes when I feel that I am lacking
In the ability to use God given skill
I pray and ask Him to guide me
And keep me in His will.

In times when I feel discouraged
And think perhaps my brain is too small;
I am reminded that God doesn't play favorites
And wants to bless us all.

He does give us each different gifts
Different talents and ability.
My goal is to use to its utmost
The ones He chose for me.

I ask Him to not let me be discouraged
Or covet someone else's gift instead
But to let me be a blessing using my gift
As by our Creator I am led.

Trust in God to bless your life
As you look to Him each day
And He will increase your gifts
As you seek His will and pray.

He has not forgotten you
Nor kept back forgiveness for any frailty
But surrounds you each day with love
Helping to make you what He knows you can be!
