How I Am Blessed

______________________

I am blessed because of God’s grace and mercy.

This morning when he awoke me, I could clearly see.

I am blessed because in the Lord, I will always fear.

This morning when He whispered arise,

his voice I could distinctively hear.

I am blessed because I know the Lord loves me much.

This morning when I placed my cares upon Him,

I received a gentle touch.

I am blessed because the Lord has delivered my soul from hell.

This morning as I praised and glorified Him,

victory began to prevail.

I am blessed because through the Lord,

I have endured my afflictions.

This morning when I exalted Him,

He showered me with affections.

I am blessed because in the Lord I put my trust.

This morning as I prayed he made things just.

I am blessed because the Lord is my ultimate guide.

This morning when I started this old journey,

He was at my side.

I am blessed because the Lord is Alpha Omega,

the beginning and the end.

This morning as I looked around I realized

He is my only friend.

I am blessed because the Lord heard my many cries.

This morning as I prayed, He washed away my enemy’s lies.

I am blessed because the Lord is my everlasting light.

This morning He blessed me with joy to endure another night.

In 2003

People from all over the world felt the effects of war against Iraq on the rise.

Family members and friends would be distant from each other for an unknown period of time, Gasoline prices were on the rise and mixed feelings about the war were definitely set in place. Even the thought of losing a loved one as a casualty of war was surfacing the hearts of many Americans.

My thoughts were……………

The Nation’s War

______________________

As we read daily newspapers about chemical

and biological war fares

We wonder of the fatal effects and tragedy

of this war Satan declares

The smell of war surrounds our thoughts of loss,

and leads us to despair

As our hearts ache for a reasonable end

to this United States Family Affair

We often look at our children and pray for their adulthood

As we wonder how our schools without prayer

could do them any good

Yet a man’s continuous thoughts of wealth

and success clouds his mind

but, we seem to forget the love of money

is the root of evil kind.

As our men and women suit of for this simmering war

And leave behind family and friends so distant and yet so far

I say to you countrymen, lend me your ears,

but give God your heart

For Satan desires to sift us as wheat,

but God’s love will never fall apart

As we visualize our soldiers in combat, fighting for our

country’s freedom

Let us embark on our Heavenly Father’s Holy Wisdom

Let us recite that pledge of allegiance, yes the one that says,

one nation under God

As we go forth in triumph with the power of God,

as Moses did with his rod

We shall suit up in the breastplate of righteousness

And let our light shine of godliness

We shall be shielded with the spiritual fullness

of faith and grace

That enables us to stand united in prayer as we seek our

Heavenly Father’s face

We shall put on the helmet of salvation

As we come to know we are all descendants of one generation

We shall grip the sword of truth and spirit in our hand

And realize God is the ultimate one in command.

To support of a loved one through trying and difficult

times is very important for the growth of love and the feeling

of belonging. Support could mean your presence, assistance, or the kind words one may offer in a needed time such as……….

Nurse Graduation

______________________

I must first give honor to my Heavenly Father,

For allowing me to accomplish this task through His son Jesus

Though these twelve months have not been easy for any of us

I have cried tears of joy and of course tears of despair.

Long hours of study seem to get me down, but thanks to

Christ, I got up with His love and care

And now I want to say a special thanks to my husband and son

For patience, understanding, love, and yes, the chores

you have not done.

To a loving mother, thanks for your devoted time and the

words you gave of such,

That have guided me and prepared me to conquer so much.

To my family and friends, thanks for the

kind words you didn’t refuse to tell

To classmates and teachers, may you be blessed

with laughter and memories

Of me.

Sometimes we are saddened by lessons of life and we feel

alone and motionless, but trust in the Lord and He will

replace that frown with a smile as He smiles on you.

Without a doubt God has truly smiled on me.

God Smiled On Me

______________________

When I Was Sadden by Man’s Disappointment

God Smiled and Away Went My Frown

When Pain Prevailed Over My Body and My Heart

God Smiled and Away My Aches Did Depart

God Smiled and My Thoughts Were No Longer Blind

When I Was Insecure and Feeling Alone

God Smiled and His Voice Comforted Me through

the Spiritual Phone

God Smiled and My Happiness Was Dressed in Tomorrow

When I Was washed out by hatred of this ole land

God smiled and took all my cares in his hand

When my family seems to wonder astray

God smiled and said
