Yes Friend, It Will Matter


Say not to me,
that it will not matter a hundred years from now,
that I was here.
For surely I have touched one life in a positive way,
perhaps in daily prayer,
I've called your name one day.
Having no profound accomplishments or delusions of fame,
and leaving no progeny
to perpetuate my name,
still, it will matter that I was here.
For I have quietly endeavored to sow, and I have watered.
I love and am loved--should one desire more?
Life is good and hopefully God is pleased.
The tracks I'll leave, it's true,
will not be so ingrained as to stand harsh winds of time
and they shall fade as the evening sun,
leaving somewhere, only a name and date chiseled in granite.
Perhaps, if only in thought,
one pausing o'er me should question, who was this man?
Let God simply whisper, that I am His.

My Prayer For Today


My Prayer For Today
7/22/2019
Written: by Miracle Man

Lord, guard my tongue in things I say,
Let your son Jesus be my light today.

Let each of my thoughts rest solely on HIM,
From the brightening hour until growing dim.

Then at such time when I become tempted,
Just render those thoughts, as preemptive.

For I’ve little ability that’s of my own,
And will be accountable for seeds I’ve sown.

AMEN

A Prayer


Lord,
I ask not,
That You remove temptations
From my life;
But grant me Lord,
Through faith,
The strength to overcome.

Born Again



Written: by Miracle Man
9-5-2019

In stripling years,
I existed in the shadows.
God had given me reason,
Of Satan to dispose.

To change life’s direction,
I felt suddenly impelled.
But on my own, couldn’t break,
Sin’s chains that held.

Then at that moment,
Scaled eyes could see.
God had broken my chains,
And unveiled a new me.

Thanksgiving and Thankful


Thanksgiving and Thankful
Written: by Tom Wright

My heart was burdened with much concern,
For a person whom God placed in my path;
While the rationality I did not easily discern,
Obedience allowed me to escape His wrath.

This assigned duty which was bestowed,
To me alone, & 'twas from God conveyed.
a friendship from this single act has flowed,
From those incessant prayers once prayed.

Believing

Believing
Written: by Miracle Man
December 6 2020

I remember the day I first began believing,
To things of this world I’d long been cleaving.
Cancer was camping in my right Parotid gland,
The day I grasped Jesus’ outstretched hand.
Cancer had branded and trademarked me,
Would I then fight back, or just take a knee?
But I knew, alone, I couldn’t beat this villain,
I needed the real deal, not an earthly fill in.
I fell down at His feet and started praying,
Knowing that He would hear what I was saying.
I wanted to be saved so I wouldn’t die lost, 
I prayed forgive me Lord, whatever your cost.
I knew help would come only through His power.
and I accepted Jesus, as my savior, that hour.
I was twenty eight years during my hospital stay,
now at eighty two years I’m still alive today.

I Asked, Believed, and Confessed

Take Nothing For Granted

I deferred the words " I love you"
Until the morrows light.
Words, that from my heart,
I felt impressed upon to say.

For sure, "I love you",
Would have best been said that night.
Still I reserved ownership,
For perhaps some abstinent day.

Instead, from my vast reserve,
Grating words were launched to flight.
Words that once I'd spent,
Could never be recanted.

I had failed miserably,
At living life in the moment.
So, doting on another days sight,
I had taken our time for granted.

The next day's sun, I found,
Rose not for both alike.
Albiet the sky was blue and bright,
My day was overcast.

For from my life,
I allowed to slip, a love untold,
Now I'm forever yoked with regrets might,
Hard and fast.

Regret is felt always when it is too late.

Tech Zombies


Tech Zombies
Written: by Tom Wright
10-6-2016

Some have lost the ability to use their head,
And depend on gadgets to get by instead.
A Phone, Pod, or tablet now fills each hand,
And in certain venues they should be banned.

I’ve sat in church and observed others texting,
And this, to me, has become quite perplexing.
Distracted, I think, why even bother to come,
As I muse, why this, they can’t refrain from.

“Techies” can’t wait for Apple’s latest upgrade,
While I sit thinking they’re just being played.
Like sheep they stand in line at a local store,
To be fleeced for a device they’ve fallen for;

Technology has made our lives so much better,
Giving us aspirations of being the pacesetter;
Technology, now, is nearing an insane extreme,
But an enormous boost to poor self esteem;

Life's Race


	Life's Race
	Written: by Tom Wright
	9/8/98
	
	Life, isn't like a relay,
	With participants off and on,
	Nor is it like a sprint or dash,
	But more of a marathon;
	Many start a race for Christ,
	But too soon tire and rest.
	
	While others,
	Spiritually out of shape,
	Will not put forth their best;
	In giving man His chosen,
	God accepts from man no less.
	For salvation is a know so thing,
	Not feelings or a guess.
	
	We must daily run, not tire or quit,
	When encountering one more hurdle.
	Life isn't start, sprint, and fade,
	But in finishing, Like the Turtle.

Problem Solving 101


Problem Solving 101
Written: by Miracle Man
12-16-2019

When I allow a problem to defeat me today,
It continues to occupy my time tomorrow.
Ignoring a problem just increases its stay,
Which often leads to heartache and sorrow.

The preponderance of a problem that may exist,
Psychologically influences my solution.
No matter the size it shouldn’t be dismissed,
Through prayer and searching comes resolution.



Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
