Poetry & Prose ~~ "Give Thanks"

Think about God’s wonderful gift of love,

Having sent Jesus, His only begotten Son.

Always rejoice with thanksgiving in your heart.

Never give up for He holds you safe in His arms.

Keep your eyes upon Jesus in the midst of the storm.

Stand strong in faith and give praise to our saving Lord.

Grant mercy and grace to others in their time of need.

Inspire others to reach out and be filled with His peace.

Value and treasure His gift of eternal life He freely gives.

Invite others to open their hearts to believe and receive.

Now and forever give God all the glory for all He has done.

Give thanks forevermore for His wonderful gift of love.

Poetry & Prose ~~ "True Beauty"

"True Beauty"

Does not matter the race, color or creed,

Or the current fad, latest trend or fashion design,

True beauty can only be seen in those

Whose heart is genuine, loving and kind.

You can see it in the twinkle in someone’s eyes,

And in a smile that comes from the heart.

You can hear it in softly spoken words,

Sharing the mercy of God, His hope to impart.

You can feel it in the gentle touch of a helping hand,

And hear it in a child’s laughter as they play.

You can experience it in hugs freely given,

And see it in the face of a new born babe.

You can see it in hands that are lifted high in praise,

While tears are streaming down another’s face.

You can hear it in a new song being sung,

As one experiences a special touch of amazing grace.

It can be felt and seen in the eyes of those who

Face life’s storms with strength, courage and peace,

Knowing that their trust and hope is in God alone,

And He is with them in their time of need.

It is when we look beyond the outward appearance,

And look into the heart of those we meet,

That we will experience the depth of God’s love for us,

And share it with others as it was meant to be.

As we learn to see others through the eyes of love,

And look at things from God’s point of view,

We will be filled with His compassion for all,

And see His beauty that is kind, loving and true.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time

and He has put eternity in their hearts……...” 

Ecclesiastes 3: 11
