Support Them for God's Sake
This is inspired by poem "Sow"
and dedicated to Tom Kesting
Whose poems are easy to be digesting.
Someone stated to sow small seed long ago
Like each word of the Lord began to grow
Heard what seed through God started to say
Son surely will come again in future one day.
Seed slowly sipped water beneath the sod
His effort to grow was only seen by God
With God's help each seed grows and grows
Limit and extent of God's power no one knows.
To reliable reaper God did bestow a seed to sow
He shook it to and fro and soon started to grow
And some day maybe it might turn into a weed
God still will fulfil weed's each want and need.
God, please take this seed that is still Thine
And give it great health with bread and wine
That your Holy Son Jesus does represent
Who only your goodness and love always meant.
Whether unsightly, uncomely or undernourished
Weak, sickly small or did become discouraged
Let us love and support them for God's sake
And one day with Him to heaven He will take.

My Poems Be Better
What I wanted to do was find a way
To say only have another nice day
But something much better than that
And be with Jesus where He had sat.
I know that He's not here any more
Physically that is but is waiting for
Me in heaven where I have to return
After many bridges having to burn.
My poem seems to be on a roll so far
With God and Son as a shining star
Never will I ever end up being lost
Pretty is the day with morning frost.
Each day will start out freshly for sure
Now that I know I surely can endure
And obstacles being difficult to bare
God and Jesus are around everywhere.
As I start going to my comfortable bed
Will make sure my prayers are all said
My writing water I have been testing
Can my poems be better than Tom Kesting.

Reflections From A Grateful Heart
An attitude of gratitude makes your day go right. . .
Because we’re enjoying God’s blessings from morning until night.
He gives us food to eat and a place to sleep. . .
And if we should die before we wake, our soul He’ll keep.
God is so good; there is no doubt about that. . .
Learn to thank Him no matter where you are at.
Things could be worse we all agree. . .
So I’ll thank God for you and you thank God for me.
Remember, an attitude of gratitude makes your day go right. . .
Blessings from God – morning until night.
Love and friendship from those who care. . .
And the Holy Spirit to live within while we’re here.
A thankful heart for the wonderful blessings He gives. . .
Praise and thanksgiving because our God lives.
