THANKSGIVING

THANKSGIVING

We’ll be spending our Thanksgiving
By driving over to Grandma’s house
Not a soul will go hungry
Not even a little mouse

She started preparing
On the night before
If there was anything missing
She sent Grandpa to the store

Everything must be perfect
On this day you see
For it isn’t very often
That we gather as a family

After a long trip we arrive there
The first thing we do is turn on the TV
To watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade
There are marching bands and floats to see

Before we begin eating
We hold hands and pray
Thank you Lord for the blessings
That you have given us this day

And we also pray for a special blessing for
The men and women who protect our liberty
Please God keep them safe from harm
They understand that freedom isn’t free

Then Grandpa says let’s eat I’m starving
The first thing on the menu is soup in a cup
In the background we listen to Holiday music
This always helps us to keep our spirits up

Uncle Charlie carves the turkey and
Asks if we want dark meat or white
And even with this many people
There will be plenty to take home tonight

Pass the gravy and the rolls please
The peas and sweet potatoes too
The cornbread stuffing is delicious
And may I have some apple cidar too

When we finish the main course
The women will help to put things away
While the men go and watch a football game
Actually there are several to watch on TV today

Once everything else has been cleaned up
Grandma serves coffee and pumpkin pie
All of a sudden it feels like we’re stuffed
For some strange reason we wonder why

Before we head back to our homes
There are still two things to be done
First we help set up the Christmas Tree
Then we join hands and thank the Holy One

Thank you Lord for the blessings of this special day
We ask for traveling mercies and Your Grace again
May all of our hearts be filled with Your goodness
And to this prayer all of Your children say AMEN

GOING HOME

GOING HOME

The Lord God above is my shepherd

He provides me with all that I need

Yet I do get impatient knowing it's wrong

For all that God does is only at His speed

Forgive me L-rd for the sin of impatience

I will serve and obey whenever You call

My life would be barren without knowing You

From Your Grace and Mercy I pray not to fall

My pen will glorify Messiah and tell about

How His blood paid for my transgressions

Through Yeshua I have eternal life in heaven with

An abundant storehouse of Spiritual possessions

When that glorious day does come to pass

And I am standing before Him face to face

I will bow before Him and express my gratitude

For allowing me to dwell in a much better place

THE NUMBER ONE PRIORY

THE NUMBER ONE PRIORY

God does works in many different ways

That you and I will never understand

But we know Him through the Holy Spirit and

We know that our future has been pre-planned

We also know that God's Son paid the ultimate price

So as Believers in Messiah our sins are washed away

It doesn't mean that we don't have to ask forgiveness

For sins that we commit or are not aware of each day

Don't judge others because we too will be judged

Avoid offensive things that we know are wrong

Our rabbi has minister on this so many many times

By act accordingly our faith will always stay strong

Stop making excuses for not coming to Shabbat services

Like it's too far or my Kids need to be driven to a game

We know that if we're too busy for God we're just too busy

When we think about it these excuses are really very lame

Serving God always should be

Our very first one priority

He controls every facet of our lives because

His Word is always will be the final authority

A good example about what I mean

Is at your daughter's ballet practice session

She takes a spill and is unable to dance at her recital

Don't you think God is trying to teach you a lesson

If your priorities had been in the right order

The Lord would surely have let you know

Her recital would have been a huge success 

Her performance the highlight of the show`

Or perhaps your son allowed the winning to score

I'm pretty sure that both of you would be very sad

If you had lined yourself up with the word of G-d

Instead his winning hit would have made you glad

By now I hope that I have gotten my point across

The order of life's priority is G-d family then you

Ask His forgiveness and He will see that you know

As a believer you know that it's the right thing to do

Back Home

I've been out of town visiting relatives off and on the past month.  I apologize for not posting any poems during that time.

Will try to post a poem weekly, mainly on Sunday.

Please continue to enjoy poems written by my husband, Joel Steinhauer, who went to be with the Lord last Thanksgiving.
