Living & Giving

Another blessing on another day
Just another chance to pray

Pray for what, “Well lets see”
Everything the Lord does for me

Not to mention what he does for my wife
Praise be to God what a wonderful life

Facing life on its own terms
Was a lesson we had to learn

Had to learn to say “no’ to the high
Stay on the ground and reach the sky

Whatever we need we get for free
Lord looking out for us you see

Wanted some plants to landscape the yard
Lady said no its all-free put up your card

I’ll even come by and offer my advice
Heard from Brian you folk are really nice

Then I’ll bring the rest of the plants for free
Need help planting count on my family and me

Spiritual Enlightenment is all I can say
Living and giving is the only right way

Never pushing our forcing advice
Let our actions be our words of life

Living by example with no words said
Come on in lets break us some bread

Day started off in so much pain
Getting out of bed seemed in vein

But as I end this poem all I can say
What a wonderfully beautiful special day

Another day the Lord filled our need
Man I love the joy of spreading seed

For each seed planted ten more sprout
We use what we need and give the rest out

Which in turn brings so many more
Living and giving is what life is for


--------------------------------------------
Today I started my day on the site waiting
on my Doctor worried i had a large blood
clot in my leg - Thank God it wasn't and 
the rest of the day - God sure does bless 
us. God Bless and Good night from
Michael, Toni & Michaela

A beautiful praise given the Lord,you have so much to tell and ain't that new high so much better. People have a hard time putting their whole trust in the Lord, but when we do we reach new plateaus. God Bless and keep writing and praising our Savior. Ron

A wonderful poem and testomony Micheal, God iss o good, we all have a lot to be thankful for, I had a lump on my foot but it is just a simple cyst but I joked about it when it came up unexpected, I said to josh darling my foot is antisocial, he looked puzzled and I Said yes my foots took the hump. LOL, but then a scripture came to mind, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter heaven, so every time I see my lump I know I am on the right track, God bless

Hi, Michael! First of all, I happy for your health, and second of all I have enjoyed reading your inspirational poem. You have so much faith in God; nowdays people have become their own gods, not giving honor and thanks to the Almighty, who created them. They aren't thankful for the food they eat, and the air they breath. We need more men of God, like yourself, to proclaim the Good News to the world. God bless you and your dear ones. I wish you continued success. Warmest Regards, Andrew.

The way you describe how God provides for you and your family is inspiring, Michael. I hope your injuries from the fall are healing well. Isn't it nice the people in your community are willing to help each other out! God bless you, Carolyn
