EVERLASTING REWARD
The Lord gave me a me a blessing
For reasons that only He can know
He said to love and cherish her and
Our love of God will always grow
It’s been a little over seven years
Since the day that we were wed
The vows we took before the Lord
Still move our faith full speed ahead
The seconds minutes hours days that
We’ve been given to extol God’s Glory
Will go on for many years to come
But by no means does it end the story
This process will keep going on and on
Even past the day of Messiah’s return
For those that know Him have eternal life
A gift from God that we all need to yearn
Because of who we are in Him
God blesses us in so many ways
And He’s given us a heavenly mansion
As a reward for the rest our eternal days
All that it will take is for you to make a choice
You still have the time to make the right one
That will get you into heaven one day too
To abide with God the Father and His Son

ETERNAL LOVE
ETERNAL LOVE
How do I love thee
Let me count the ways
Sweet words from a famous poem
Written in distant bygone days
To put it in more modern terms
Besides all the little things you do
There are sop many reasons why
I will always be in love with you
Your smile your laugh your gentle ways
Lets me see just why God put us together
The way you show such tender loving care
On bright sunny days or in stormy weather
Just knowing that you will never change
Gratefully I give thanks to the Lord above
I know that God brought you into my existing life
So that we could share His and our eternal love

F.Y.I. - PROUD DAD-A NOTE FROM THE POET
Before I post this week’s 2 poems, (For those of you who don’t already know this), last year I posted that my younger daughter Shelby was selected as the 2011-12 Fulton County, Ga. Teacher of the Year. From there it goes to the state level for Ga. Teacher of the Year. There are 150 applicants. (1 from each county) A committee picks out the top 10 to be considered for the honor. My daughter made the top 10 list, which even if she isn’t selected is quite an honor in itself. Thank You Lord!
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Sadly in the world that we living in today
Many people have a self centered attitude
The truth is what it is that they really need
Is to have a positive attitude of gratitude
Gratitude for all their blessing in life and
Even for the times when they have trouble
God never promised you a rose garden
If that’s your mindset it’s time to burst your bubble
God is in control of everything that you say think and do
Even though He has given you a free will choice
What comes out of your mouth may come back to bite you
Once out God is telling you this through your inner voice
Take what happened to me the other day for instance
In line a man insisted that he was first and cut ahead
I could have kept on arguing knowing he was wrong
But I let him go telling him to have a blessed day instead
What comes out of your mouth can make a big difference
Instead of arguing he didn’t know what else to think or say
It just shows that being nice is what even God would expect
Because positive thoughts will always make someone’s day
Even if you know that they’re in the wrong
Your reverence for God says to just let it go
And because God sees the way that you dealt with it
Now you know another reason why He loves you so

BEATING MYSELF UP
BEATING MYSELF UP
I often wonder why these things happen
Without thinking I open my mouth
And many times the things I say
Have the tendency to go South
Afterwards of course I feel terrible
Especially if it comes back to bite me too
But if I say nothing I’m seen as complacent
So now I’m not sure what I should do
Sometimes like a recent occurrence
I didn’t see the harm in what I said
Until after the fact when it was too late
It makes me not want to get out of bed
Hopefully that last boo-boo that I made
Will pass without causing any flack
All that I can do is hope & pray about it
It might even save me from a heart attack
I guess the only answer I can come up with
Is to think first or say nothing at all
Instead of could have would have should have
Because pride comes before the fall
They say you’re never too old to learn
But at my age I really don’t know
So all that I can do is try to learn and
Pray through my Spirit that I can grow
For even though the Lord know that I know Him
Like the majority He knows that I have human flaws
That’s why I’ve written these words that I’ve written
Always think before you speak it’s worth the pause
