THANK YOU, GOD, FOR SUNSHINE

Thank you, God, for the sunshine
A gift straight
Out of the blue!
Pouring in through the windows
And warming the mountains, too.

Also warms hearts
And lifts spirits -
A blessing ever new.

Thank God for His mysterious miracle
Poured upon me and you!

Thank you, God, for sunshine!

WHO’S IN CHARGE HERE?

Who’s in charge here?
Democracy dear,
Or bumbling bureaucracy?

When God is thrown out,
Integrity is in doubt,
And goodness in government
Goes away!

With integrity gone
Bureaucracy is strong!

In this fallen world
Christian goodness must hold sway,
Or we will rue the day
The prison inmates are in charge -
No integrity -
Only bureaucracy leads the way!

Evolutionary integrity,
Is a modern myth.
And we soon
Will know this,
When we fall
Into bureaucracy’s abyss!

THE CONCEPT OF GOD

The concept of God
In our Christian
Founders’ hearts
Was a REALITY -
Fought and bled for
in totality.

It was NOT a nebulous thing,
But a belief in God
That gave wing
The the freedom we sing!

The concept of God
IS a REAL THING!!

THANK YOU FOR THE NIGHT OF REST

“Thank you for the night of rest,”
My dear lovely Mother would say
As she rose to face another day.

In her sweet little voice
I can still hear her say:
“Thank you, God, for this food
And the night of rest.”

As an aging old nurse -
She could surely see
What a blessing a night of rest
Could be.

So she thanked her God
For the rest He had given.

ACCEPTANCE

By learning acceptance,
Jesus set me free
To be the Mother
I was meant to be.

Nothing made me so glad
As this new gift I had,
Because Mothers are sad
When they “muff” the job
Of being an accepting Mother.

SUFFERING

Suffering makes you
Better or bitter!
The choice is yours!

Suffering makes us perfect,
Ready to be with God
In that perfect place -
All because of His marvelous grace!

We come out
As pure gold -
A sight to behold -
Worthy of Jesus’
Sacrifice of old.

Now we are worthy
Of the great price
Jesus paid for
With HIS LIFE.

IF WOMEN WILL NOT BE WOMEN

If women will not be women
Then men CANNOT be men!
A different role -
And a different soul -
And if that role’s despised,
So is life’s prize!

Men need women
More than women need men.
So, women should all see
How important “we be!”
God made us that way,
And we’ll rue the day
When women decided
To be junior or senior men.
Then feminism will have Won out!

God created the sex’s model
He created Adam and Eve -
Not Adam and Steve -
That’s a heck of a difference!
And it shouts of INTERFERENCE
With God’s design.

If women will not be women
Men CANNOT be men.
If God’s way is despised -
(What a cost!!) -
Basically, ALL is lost!

DEEP SEATED ANGER

Deep seated anger
Will ruin your life -
Fill it with strife,
And only God
Can control it!

So choose Jesus’ way
And stay on it night and day.
For the evil is strong -
And the battle is long -
And only with Jesus’ help
Can you win the day!
