You're Special...
When I'm down or blue
And I really just need
A special word from you
You're there to talk with me
Filling and warming my heart
With sometimes, just the sound
of the words you impart
Teasing me, and making me laugh
Bringing me joy and love
You just don't know the wonderful gift
God in the heavens above
has placed safely within you
You staying close to me
Although not always near
Causing me laughter you see
Wiping away just a casual tear
Making my day much nicer
Like the sun imparting warmth to the earth
Your presence all the wiser
Shines into my soul.
Thank you for being you...

Isn't It Strange?
Isn't it strange how a 20 dollar bill
seems like such a large
amount when
you donate it to church, but
such a small amount
when you go shopping?
Isn't it strange how 2 hours
seem so long when
you're at church, and how
short they seem when you're
watching a good movie?
Isn't it strange that you can't
find a word to say when
you're praying,
but you have no trouble
thinking what to talk about
with a friend?
Isn't it strange how difficult
and boring it is to read
one chapter
of the Bible, but how easy
it is to read 100 pages of
a popular novel?
Isn't it strange how everyone
wants front-row-tickets
to concerts or games,
but they do whatever
is possible to sit at the last
row in Church?
Isn't it strange how we need to
know about an event for
Church 2-3
weeks before the day so we can
include it in our agenda, but we can
adjust it for other events in
the last minute?
Isn't it strange how difficult it
is to learn a fact about
God to share it
with others, but how easy
it is to learn, understand,
extend and repeat gossip?
Isn't it strange how we
believe everything
that magazines and newspapers
say, but we question the words in the
Bible?
Isn't it strange how everyone
wants a place in
heaven, but they don't want
to believe, do, or say anything
to get there?
Isn't it strange how we send
jokes in e-mails
and they are forwarded
right away,
but when we are going to send
messages about God, we think
about it twice before we share
it with others?
IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?

We're Sailing Together
We launched our ship many years ago
In the temptuous sea of life
An adventure it seemed, we were so young
You with me, such an immature wife
With all the vast knowledge, we were so smart
Knowing our love would carry us through
The waters got rough, but we stayed the course
Our captain, the Lord kept us true
Each child came so sweet, a blessing from God
Two for you, two for me, which made four
All were different in talents, and discipline too
One by one, with each step through the door
As each day we were given a slate that was new
The boat would rock and the cargo would slip
Inexperience we found was our due
As the days turned to years, my love all for you
Grew and developed, deeper still as the seas we sailed through
Now I've grown and matured, the age lines show and tell
But we're still steering our ship with the Lord
Have I told you today? as I whispered your name
David, I love you more now, than I did then?
Your more sweeter to me, than honey from comb
And more rarer than the most costly gem
You consider my needs, and always try to please
I don't deserve such consideration and care
I love sailing with you, I'm forever your first mate
Till death do us part, or God comes and takes us away.
(Dedicated to my loving husband, David)
