I didn't write these words, so fine!
But, truly wish, that they were mine!
The ONE who did, was just a tool,
That GOD could use, to state HIS RULE!
HE uses us, to teach and heal,
HE wants, to make us think and feel!
To create a chain, of "living links",
Reminding us, of how HE thinks,
And when we do forget our fate,
Or thoughts, of HIM, come rather late!
A human reminder sets us straight,
Or expresses displeasure and displays hate!
These hurtful examples aren't meant to ruin,
But, to make us change...HE hopes it's soon!!
We learn and grow, when problems come,
To run and hide, in fear, is dumb!
HE can find us, anytime.....anywhere!
To prove again, that HE does care!
HE'll send someone, to light the light,
A ship, that passes, in the night!
To comfort, for a little while,
To walk a mile, through grief and trial!
It isn't "chance", that saved your life!
That brought you through the pain and strife!
The prayers of others, helped you so,
Even though, you did not know!!
HE used you, too....to help so well!
To aid a little bird........that fell!
Or say some words, to just promote,
To give someone, a bright, warm coat!
Your deeds are opportunities rare,
To test your heart and prove you care!
What price, for making you complete?
The Cross was not a real defeat!!
>From there HE had a better view,
Of a world, where there were very few,
Who understood, the total plan,
Made by GOD, for every man!
All the ugliness and sin.....
Are there, to remind us of HIM!
Crime and greed sharpen, eyes and ears!
Sunsets calm and stop our tears!
A baby's cry....so new today!
Creative miracle underway!!
A gentle touch! A loving word!
The sweetest music ever heard!
An old man's memories, of long ago,
Recall events.....no longer so!
And granny's hair, as white as snow,
Reminds us, that she soon will go!
GOD and DOG, with letters all....
Is this why both come, when you call?
GOD gave me a dog's true love,
While HE was too busy, up above!
Like a giant puzzle, the pieces fit,
All designed, to make us sit....
And wonder why each tiny thing,
Can die and be reborn, in Spring!
We move along our path, that's set,
With friends and others, that we've met!
In some strange way, our lives do touch,
We aren't aware, of learning much!
We hear the worst....we see the best,
And life goes on, just like the rest!
We are a part, of all we meet,
Not just a "blob", with two, left feet!
Human ways will stress "Just Me!"
They just can't see, that it must be,
Not US, but HIM, who is in charge,
Our minds are small...but, HIS is LARGE!
Like grains of sand, we find our space,
At times, we reach a state of grace!
Not due, to what we say or do,
But, faith in HIM, just makes it true!
As time goes by, my eyes grow dim,
Yet, I "see" more, because of HIM!!
I just let go of ME......and.......WAIT!
Then, HE takes over and sets it straight!
When I'm sure, about what's best for me,
All Hell breaks loose and soon I see,
That I can't make it all alone!
I must repent and then atone,
My life goes on and all is right,
I have no pain or fear, at night!
It's simple, when I just let HIM,
Take charge of me.......so........I can WIN!
My thoughts, of HIM, are there each day,
Blessings and Peace, now come my way.
