My God Given Gifts

OH! OH! Really freely and truly wonderful
Are my God given poetic gifts My beloved
Lord and Savior has bequeathed to me.
Oh how very bless I am indeed!

And I want to share your gift to others
That they may come to know just how
You are much more precious than diamonds!
And more valuable than either silver or gold!

At first every thing was accomplished by
Paper and pen. I started using my typewriter
To copy and to compose my poetry and my
Writing. It was my beast of burden.

It helped me through many difficult times;
Problems and many hard decisions. I just
really have to talk to you oh my Lord!
God bless and thank You!


After it wore out, I never brought another one
To take its place. I continued journaling and
Practicing creative writing manually.

But God you remained true to my as my
Guidance counselor. And my enlightening
Sources of Divine inspirations! Bless your
Holy Name my beloved Lord and Redeemer!

All of time even when I was unaware of it! I started 
Relying more on You and less on myself. When I
Started opening my ears and listening to You!
God you opened up the windows leading to my
Mind!

OH! My God, you used people to help me with
Owning my own computers.  And I rapidly 
Discovered I Preferred computers. I can use them 
For making my corrections and alignment problems

Instead of writing my work out manually. All 
Because of you God, Use Spell Check. Often 
For the purpose for correcting all of my numerous
Spelling and other mistakes. Thank you my God!
 
Now more than ever before in my poetic/creative
On line literary life! I need your guiding love for my
Life! Every morning, noontime, and nighttime too.

There are not any words I can say or write to say
How much I love you my beloved Lord and my Savior!
You are my bright and shining Candle brightly light 
Shining morning, noontime and nighttime too!

Why did You give me these wonderfully free gift to me?
It was to glorify and praise my Holy and Almighty
Son of God and Son of Peace for all eternity!
I will bless You Lord for Your matchless grace!
 
It was to suppose to draw people nearer to You but,
However, Sometimes it works the other way around!
Way too many times I was too harsh and too critical!
  
I would make negative comments! But thanks to my
Mentor, my on line editor and my very best friend.
I am trying to openly show and display to Your
Love for me is marvelous, and matchless!

Love in Christ Jesus!
