God's Heavenly Quilt...

God's love reminds me of a Heavenly quilt
That warms and comforts those He loves,
Those who call upon His Name
And Praise Him for the gift of salvation-
People of every race and every nation.

God's love reminds of the softest feather bed
That I can fall back upon in times of stress
Letting myself sink in and be enveloped
For His comforting is the very best.
God's love reminds me of the softest pillow
That I can sink my weary head into at night
Or where I can weep my heartfelt tears
When things aren't going right.
God's love is there for everyone
It knows no boundaries and caters not to fame
God's love is for all who come to Him, abide in Him
And call on His Holy Name.

In Your Hands

It's in Your hands, Lord
We who love you,
Give it all to you
Asking that You heal our land
Purify our hearts and souls
As only You can do.
Daily we pray asking
That Thy will alone be done
And yet we try to take control
Before the battle has been won.
We cannot see the entire plan
And our wisdom is not complete
Therefore we ask again
Thy will be done
And place our prayers for the USA
And our worries at Your feet.

Power of Words Not Spoken
How many hearts have been totally broken
Due to the power of words that were never spoken?
How many babies, kids and young folk
Needed to hear words that we never spoke?
How many elderly women and men
Needed to hear "I love you" again?
Have many infants as they learned to coo
Needed to learn how to say "I love you?"
Words are a powerful force in our life
They bring joy to child, husband or wife.
They comfort our neighbors and bring a smile
When we stop to visit and chat for awhile.
Be kind with your words and honest and true
And say loving things to those dear to you.
But always remember that hearts can be broken
By not saying those things that need to be spoken...
