Family Matters

He took our stripes To give us health We took His stripes To gain our wealth He gave up His crown To redeem our thorns We took His crown To blow our limitless horns He gave us His tears To soak our enslaved ground We took His grief To silence conviction's sound He gave us His word To fight our guilt We took His word To grab what others have built He took our tree To give us life anew We took His tree To do all we desire to do He took our spear To give us unity in spirit We took His spear To make a megaphone so the WORLD would hear it ............WE RULE THE UNIVERSE...... ...............................because Jesus WINS!!!! He took our grave To give us resurrection WE took His grave And erected a stone of insurrection that reads: You did your job, Jesus Now your family will take it from here Our grand status, wealth, health, and intellignece Will deliver our enemies into fear Written by Trudy Schrader on 07/02/2018 Note: Let's get it straight...Daddy God is who we pray to, and His name is LOVE. Jesus is the Way who made it possible for us to talk to His Dad without being incinerated by a HOLY and AWESOME God. If we continue to think that the purpose of Daddy God is as small and earth bound as our biggest dream, we will never engage in His vision to make a world without FEAR!

Thank you! It felt good to write it, but the reality is one of the most difficult things to deal with in this life. What is the point of having children? Awe, yes, for the joy of being part of their growing up process. I wouldn't have missed that for anything.
