Have You Ever?

Have you ever smelled the rain as a storm was getting near

then sat and watched as clouds began to appear

Have you ever heard the sounds of Gods thunderous roar

and looked to see his light along the shore

Have you ever listened to the rain when it starts pouring down feeling the flow of it 
before it touches ground

Have you ever caught a breeze upon your face and somehow you new it was Our 
Father's Embrace

Have you ever seen God's splendor after a storm was done when his heavens 
open up and he shows his brilliant sun

Have you ever taken notice as the clouds start to divide and you see the rays of 
sunshine peak over the sky

Have you ever seen his colors of grays, gold, purple and pink and wonder to 
yourself how excellent God thinks

Have you ever looked at his miraculous sky when it shines so big and bright with 
silhouettes of shadows beaming through the light

Have you ever seen a rainbow far above so high it goes from one end to the other 
along his great big sky

Have you ever wondered how his sunlight rolls away and how his darkness 
appears without dismay

Have you ever seen his display of wonders when you look into the night

and appreciated his stars above along with his moonlight

Have you ever imagined why God gave us these effects

I think it is to remind us that he deserves all respect

In the Arms of Jesus

Death is just the beginning
of getting closer to Our Lord Jesus.......

If you believe that Jesus is the Messiah,
he died on the cross to wash away your
sins, 3 days he rose from the dead
and that he is the son of the Living God
you can be set free today.

Just say this pray to yourself or out loud:

Lord Jesus, I need you in my heart, mind, body
and soul.  Please, forgive me for all of my sins
and for anything that I may have said to hurt you
or anyone in my life. I know Lord that I am a sinner
and that you died for me. I ask this in Jesus Name. Amen.

You have begun a new life in the arms of Jesus!

The Strongest Pine

As I wandered along a rocky path speechless and in a daze, I saw so very many 
trees, and I was just amazed.

God's beauty was surrounding me from above his mountain tops, I looked below 
his rocky peaks, and oh how my heart almost stopped.

How wonderful the river flowed, how wonderful the plants well grow, how 
wonderful his rocks are formed, how wonderful his valley's born.

I stood there feeling so small, as small as I could be, hoping that one day I would 
learn what was in store for me.

I turned around to look toward the big blue sky, and something of such beauty 
really caught my eye.

It glistened in the sunlight, it blew from side to side, oh how strong and tall it was 
as it stood there with such pride.

I watched it for the longest time, this Colorado Blue Spruce Pine. 

It danced gently in the breeze, sometimes bending wildly toward the other trees.

As I stood there watching and listening to the sounds of the wind, I heard his 
gentle voice begin...

"Hold on and be strong my child for I will show you which way the path will 
lead". "You are like the blue spruce pine dancing in the breeze, sometimes 
bending wildly toward the other trees, but if you listen to my voice and hear me as 
I speak, you will learn that I am he the one you wish to seek". "My words are 
always with you in your heart and in your mind, so keep my light shining bright 
and seek me all the time..."

I Had No Place To Rest My Head Part 3

Wasn't this supposed to be one of the happiest days for me?
Why did this happen on this very day?
Was I being punished for something I did or some type of display?

All of these questions entered my mind,
as I lay my heart broken and on the line.

I was hurt to know she would never be there, 
she would never see the sunshine in my son's hair.

She would never see him smile his first smile, 
never would she play with him for a little while.

She would never kiss his face, 
...nor would she share her warm embrace.

As I sat there remembering this pain I was feeling
I had to ask Our Father for his healing.

I sat there on the couch, changing the channel 
when I saw Paul and Jan Crouch. (Evangelists)

I watched in wonder I couldn't believe my eyes,
they praised with their voices,
lifting their hands to the sky.

Their strength how it amazed me,
their smiles filled with grace,

I asked myself many questions like what was the race?

I listened and learned the message they spread, 
it was all about Jesus and what he had said.

Their voices uplifting yet gentle and calm, 
made me realize that I too belong.

I remained on the network, which is TBN,
to praise Our Father along with my friends.

I watched other's on satellite listening to 
pastor's and following Our Lords flight.

After this year of reading and learning God's Word 
I thought I was crazy when I up and heard, 

"You need more for your life so listen to me, 
if you focus and pray I am the Key."

God turned me around in a spin, in a whirl, 
I asked him to change my life to a pearl.

I knew at that moment that I was at peace, 
for my life had been given to Christ Jesus the High Priest!

I don't know where I am going, 
I don't know where I will be, 
but my life is full of joy for he is showing me.

Paul and Jan Crouch continue to thrive, 
giving God's message to people across the sky.

It never goes unnoticed, 
it never goes unseen, 
for God sees ALL and he loves what he sees..........

I Had No Place To Rest My Head Part 1

Days, months and years had gone by, 
I could never understand the reasons why,

I could never focus, 
I could never see, 
I could never rest my head so easily.

There were many fears I had, 
I stop feeling so sad.

Oh how my tears would over flow, 
scared and lonely never wanting anyone to know.

Not my husband, nor my family or friends,
I wanted to be the strong one for them to depend.

I didn't know what I was going to do, 
who was I going to take this all to?

My struggles were winning I couldn't go on, 
my life was so stressful, my dreams were all gone.

I remembered what my mother said, 
she taught me to pray tucking me in bed.

She would pray to Our Father as she gently spoke
her voice was like music always giving me hope.

I Had No Place To Rest My Head Part 2

I was 10 years old when she prayed with me, 
that's when she gave herself to Jesus you see.

I remember her kneeling right next to my bed 
after she prayed she would kiss my forehead.

Mom was like an angel always by my side, 
we would sing and laugh as the days went by.

She loved the Lord with all of her heart and soul, 
I had no doubt in mind where she would go.

Mother watched evangelists over the years, 
she learned about Jesus it brought her to tears.

She watched Oral Roberts, Robert Schuller and Billy Graham.
I'm sure there were others that touched her heart, 
God knew what he was doing what an excellent start.

Then all of a sudden I started to cry, 
I remembered how I felt the day she died.

Four days of labor, four days of tears 
it caught me off guard when I heard what 
appeared....

The same morning I gave birth to my child,
someone had called to say, "Your mother has died".

I didn't want to remember, I didn't want to think, 
my heart was torn open, I couldn‘t breath.

The pain that I felt on that very day, 
I didn't believe would ever go away.

I had so many questions along with my tears, 
so many things inside me for years.

Oh My Soul

Oh, my soul cries for those who do not know you,
how hard can it be to have a relationship
with someone who loves so deeply?

Sent to us you show the meaning of life
with nothing but giving in your heart
giving of your love, spirit and words of
wisdom so that we my have a better life.

Cry out Oh souls of the earth,
Cry out to the one who has made
this world, this body and this spirit.

Cry out to those who need his love,
make it known to the world that he
is coming again.....

His Loving Gifts

How wonderful you are to have given me your grace, if there was one thing that I 
could do it would be to take your place.

I know how impossible that sounds to you and me, knowing that God Our Father, 
chose you instead, to set me free.

You had no sin, no blemish, nor did you ever fall, you stood there with such 
sadness, while still loving us all.

Then keeping your promise you went to the cross, there the stage was set before 
us knowing your life would be lost, 

Everyone stood around with tears flowing to the ground, but you knew your father 
was with you and you were heaven bound. 

Time stopped before us while you were on that cross, but you prayed to Our 
Father to keep our souls from being lost.

You were seen by 2 men that very day, then as your Father promised 3 days you 
rose to say: “ There is Forgiveness of sins for those who turn to me, all you need 
to do is confess them and you will be set free.”

This is your loving gifts to all the bible scriptures share,
so if you don’t know Jesus you will find him there.
