Poem
You didn't roll a wagon up to bring an apple pie. The neighbors haven't come from miles to raise a barn up to the sky. We didn't have to ring a bell to call your buckets to a fire, 'Cause when we had three surgeries, our hearts you did inspire. Big homegrown chickens delivered in vans And well tended veggies from your very own hands. You spread your wealth with lots of love, Always showing to our hearts the spirit of the dove. The girls' Christmas dresses you made meant so much. Our year was filled with your own special touch. You handled, and cradled and poslished our kids. Reflecting to them that their precious and His. When that very last cent just couldn't be found, You quietly gave and got us around. Your cars, your time, your patience and laughter, Have hellped us stay focused on what God is after. He loves us and wants us to always draw near And just like real families keep "bending" His ear. Keep telling our heartaches and singing our joys. Keep giggling and playing like small girls and boys. We need to snuggle up close and hear His heartbeat, So we can help those who live in hurt and defeat. It is to God's family they need to belong. For only in Him can the weak be made strong. For those who are sensible and those who are "not so" God keeps on reminding us - we've not far to go. So "press toward the mark" are the words i our ear. Don't turn to the left, or the right, and don't fear. Jesus is all that we ever will need. But here is the message He wants us to heed. It's "us" and it's "we" - blood bought and in Him; It's sticking together through thick and through thin We are His children, His friends and His Bride. We stand and we wait, and by faith abide. Always, forever, His glory's inside. We are His Body; We can't be denied. Although we are grownup, He wants us to be Trusting and confident, knowing we're free. He'll carry it all; both our burdens and us, And longs, most of all, that we never be anxious. He is our King; yet He's Daddy, friend too. He made us; died for us; and will see us through. Because of this promise and His love in you, We are established, remain steadfast, and true.
