Think of how it could have been
how you made it through my friend
all the heart ache that was shared
never alone as your burdens they bared
know that everytime you faltered
someone was kneeling at an altar
giving love the best way they knew
in constant prayer all while you grew
vain were there attempts to keep you down
insecurities as we looked all around
nearer my God to thee was your prayer
give him your love and he'll always be there
Day in and day out be thou my guide
and shelter me from my own pride
you will be my God forever by my side
Ten went off.
He sent them.
And one came back.
"None but this Samaritan?"
Keep your faith.
Salvation is yours.
God is always
In our lives.
"Verily,
I say to you.
Not a sparrow falls that
God does not know about."
Do we say: Thank You?"
Always say: " Thank You, Lord."
Yea, give thanks and praise.
Some have head but they cannot think
Some I’d love to think but have no head
You have head, hands…and you don’t stink
Thank God for your life… you are not dead
Some are educated but have no job
Some have jobs but they aren’t educated
Whatever you earn from your juicy or just job
Thank God for your life, don’t complain instead
Some are cute but they have no spouse
Some have spouse but they seem not beautiful
You are someone’s sweetie…in a happy house
Thank God for your world so white and wonderful
Some have womb but they have no child
Some have children but their womb is gone
You have womb and children …so meek and mild
Thank God for your dear daughters and sweet son
Some have ballpoint pen but they cannot write
Some can write but they have neither pad nor pen
You have pen to write… in black and white
Thank God for ranking your writings… top ten
Good morning Lord,
Thank you the the gift of life today.
We offer you our prayers, works, joys, sorrows and sufferings this day for the glory and
praise of your Holy Name and the intentions of your dearly Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
Lord, we give thanks and praise you for our families and friends; those that are with us now
and those that have gone on before us.
Thank you for your blessings; those we we are concious of and those we are not presently
concious of.
We ask your Holy Spirit to soothe and caress our cares with the balm of wisdom and
understanding and help us grow and become the people You will us to be.
We love You Almighty God with the love you have given us to do so ,which is being perfected
in your gifts of faith and hope and through whatever we are given to do this day.
We petition your comfort and grace for our brothers and sisters who have no one to pray for
them.
Help us always to be grateful to You, Almighty God for YOU and all you give us.
Inspire us, if You will, to take some of your time You have given us to meditate and listen to
You today. If this be Your Will our Loving Lord, so be it, Amen.
Miracles
Thank God for Medical Miracles.
That thought, part of my new lyrical,
It is not a musical miracle lyrical.
But a heart loved heavenly miracle.
Medical miracles—
Those are not God's only miracles.
Thinking brought to this lyrical
Is just one of many theoretical
Non-medical miracles. Lyrical
Theoretical miracles—
God has endowed the gift of miracles.
That man can understand his lyrical.
How earth came to be is a miracle.
It is a God made theoretical spherical.
Spherical miracles—
God creating souls is His blessed miracle.
Faith in His work is part of this lyrical.
Belief is not a medical, theoretical, lyrical.
But God has given, long lived oracles.
Oracles. Miracles—
I am thankful—
Medical miracles end suffering and bring wellness to mankind and pets.
Theoretical miracles allow man to ponder, discover, solve and understand.
Spherical miracles keep our universe in balance and allow life to function.
Oracle miracles enlighten mankind with truths and guidance from God.

I never knew you, but I have your blood.
Sometimes I wonder, how I'm like you, if it's more ways than one.
And I think to myself, what life would've been like, if you'd kept my mom.
From what I've heard, you were very young, only a couple years older than I am now.
And you made a mistake, but yet, God used it somehow.
So I owe you so much, and still, nothing at all.
And if you hadn't given away my mom, I may not have been here.
So thank you, for choosing life over death.
But God made sure she didn't get left.
