Benefits Of Laughter

Laughter is a spiritual warfare .

Look for opportunities to laugh .

Laughter makes you younger .

A child will laugh 100 times a day .

When did you .

There is always time to laugh .

Give your mind a break

And laugh and have fun .

Laughter will heal a lot of illnesses .

Live with laughter and joy .

Have a good cheer .

Laugh at yourself .

Everyone every day needs laughter .

Don't forget to laugh

And don't let your laughter

Get rusty .

Laugh together will keep you together .

The Way

God may conceal the purpose

Of his ways

But his ways are not without purpose .

He makes the distance

Between Him and us disappear .

God works the night shift .

Oh God works every shift .

God comfort and soothes us

And guides us always .

In our lives of faith and service

Rest is as important as work

So we will rest every night in your arms

For we will always trust your ways .

Be Content

The ability is in you

To slow to judge others

But quick to judge yourself .

Don't be afraid to turn things

Over to God the things you

Do not know

For there will always be

Unconditional trust .

What you know is what is important .

Learn to be content .

Hold on to your heart tightly

But also keep open

Your heart to what is given

To you every day

Life

With life you are given

Opportunities ,

And yet life is not fair .

Life is to care .

Life is to have hope .

Hope means the most

To those who have lived

Without it .

Life with faith will never

Let you stay put .

With life we gain wisdom

And the courage to just listen

And life will go on .

                        By Brock

Run Then Rest

After you run you need to rest .

The body needs time to rest

And rebuild after some exercise .

To rest means just as important

As working out .

Regular time to rest is as essential

To avoid burnout and discouragement .

Put yourself in a quit place

And get some rest .

With rest you gain wisdom and determination

So make rest a priority .

After work make sure you rest every day .

The coach knows !

People Say

People say every body dies twice .

First when they take their last breath

And again when someone says

Their name for the last time .

May you be in heaven a 1/2 hour

Before the devil knows your dead .

I say remember your loved ones   

Will always hear you

And they will stand with you

Until the end of time .

Remember you can always

Talk to them and that is what I say .

                                  By Brock

A Friend

A friend will give you a pass .

If you want answers

Don't ask questions .

The best kind of friend

Is a praying one .

A friend will never say good by .

A friend will help you to let go

Of your hurts and your resentment

And a friend will tell you not to

Get tangled up in a worry web .

A friend will always put you back together .

A friend will see to it

That you believe in your self .

A friend will tell you

There is no need to always hurry .

A friend may say you can fill

My bucket  .

When you are with me ,

You don't need to stay

In your own lane all day

By your self .

                     By Brock

Run Run

When I run , I just run

Out there .

I run because I care .

I am here for a purpose .

It is something in my life

That is small yet so big .

I can change my expectation

With every run .
When I run I focus

On what I want to do and be ,

If only to get way out here

And just dream .

                         By Brock 

Grandpa

You are special for all

That you have

You have given away .

I know the things

That overwhelm me

Will not overwhelm my grandpa .

You have protective arms

For little old me .

I don't know how wide

And long and high and deep

Is your love for me ,

But I always ask why .

When my worry walks in

My strength runs out ,

But my strength returns

When I run to grandpa .

I will always love my grandpa .

                            By Brock

My grandma Eva

There is a blue world over me

Without you .

You always looked pasted my words

To my heart .

I lost a friend warm and so true ..

When I would tell you what is tempting me ,

You would help me back in the right direction .

I knew you were in God's plan for me .

You could renew my enthusiasm

And anticipation as I begin each new day .

When I put my cares ,

In your hands ,

You put peace in this child's heart .

Now I am old and I miss you

But you knew that clearly

For you will always

Be in my world .

My grandma Eva !

Ordinary People

We are created to be unique .

We are all different and we

Need to in brace it .

We are all gifted in our own way .

We have our own personalities .

Each of us have the freedom

To speak , the freedom of fear ,

The freedom of want

And the freedom to worship

In the church we want .

We all need to be our self

And to share our self with others

As we are .

Find Happiness

You can be all that God

Has created you to be .

He will give you the exploration

Of joy and happiness .

He will break your chins .

He will break your bars of iron .

He will drive out sickness .

God can make these things happen .

Your never on  your own .

I Think Of You

I think of you as a great listener

And your steady hands .

When you had your hand

On your fishing pole

And your strong hands

When holding your shot gun

From JC Pennys  .

I think of you when I am alone

In silence

I do not need to speak your name .

I can go on and on

Because I have our memories .

In my basement I have a picture

Of you and I in a frame .

I get up early every morning

And think of you

And wish you could hold my hand

With all that I have to do .

The Hidden Gems

When you go for a drive

On a Sunday afternoon ,

You can go down a country road

And you look down the road

And for a little while

It looks like you will run into blue water .

You look at the beautiful colors

Of the trees sharing their time

With the bright sunlight ,

The bald eagle that is flying

From one hay stack to another

And when you look down the ditch ,
You will see a pheasant sitting

Getting ready to eat

And you don't have your gun

Out your window .

When you live in South Dakota ,

These are some of the hidden Gems

You can see in one afternoon in South Dakota .

A Parents Chooses

A parent can choose .

Your child can not .

A parent should always

Remember to show

Their children the right things to do .

Do you want your children to stand out

Or just stand still ?

Tell your child it is good to dream

Or just let things be .

To smile and it is OK to cry .

To share or just take things away .

To pray or not to pray oh pray

More than a few times a day  ?

A parent can choose .

Remember your child can not today .
Remember parents always

Have a gallery of  possibilities

So do the right thing

And bring beautiful color to your

Children 's life every day .

Your Weakness

God will say bring your weakness

And receive his peace .

You need to accept yourself

And your life as it is .

No you don't .

Do not wear yourself out

With worry .

Stay close to thee

For when you focus

On thee ,

You will not notice

Your weakness as much .

The best thing to do

Is to take one day at a time

And to trust thee always .

                     By Brock

One Another

We get strength from one another .

There is power being with others .

When there is joy among one another ,

Together we are better .

When you are with one another

Your protected  .

When you stay connected

You will heal faster .

When you are among one another ,

There is more warmth .

Among one another we become a big one .

When we are among one another ,

We become a community of faith .

We will keep each other up and moving forward  .

                                                   By Brock

The Open Window

There is an open Window to heaven .

When you keep the window open  ,

Opportunities will come you way .

Open the window and wake up to hope .

With the open window ,

You will hear better

What is in your heart

And you will find abilities

In you that you can believe

So always keep the open window to heaven

And believe in God .

Remember only you

Can put a shade down on the open window to heaven .

The Light

Stand behind your child

Let them fall ,

But pick them up after their fall

Let them learn

But always have a light on them .

When they show hatred ,

Show them the way to love .

When there is injury ,

Talk to them about pardon .

When they have doubt ,

Show them faith .

When they have disparagement ,

Tell them there is always hope .

When darkness comes ,

Light will follow  .

When they are sad ,

Joy will come their way .

Remember to always tell them

Miracles can happen to us all .

                       By Brock

My World

I wish ,  I could break

The chains of hatred  .

Mistrust and those

Who do not forgive

In the world ,

I hope to counter

The trials that are ahead me with trust .

I push myself to go in the right direction

In my world .

It is always the right time

To do the right thing .

In my World

I hope to say to you

With each step along  the path

Of my life ,

I will never call it quits

In pursuing Jesus .

                   By Brock

Face To Face

Oh when your face

Is before me

Will I be able to speak .

I can only imagine .

Will my knees fall .

I can only imagine .

My eyes will not be dry

When you touch my eyes

Nothing will be the same .

Love is more powerful

Since you came

Back to me .

               By Brock

In The Bedroom

In the bedroom I can look

Out the window and see no stars .

All I have to do is say

Come out stars come out moon

Shine your light in my bedroom .

I will sleep and have sweet dreams

Sleeping under star light

And soft moon beams .

Knowing that God sees me

Gives me comfort and confidence .

Thank you the people in my life

Who have helped me grow closer to thee

So I can dream because I am not alone

Under the night light .
