What Is The Difference

The door to the human heart 

Can be open only from the inside .

It is not baggage if you not carry

It around .

We may give without loving 

But we can not love without giving .

You can  judge a man by his foes 

As well as by his friends .

Faults are thick 

When love is thin .

He who sows courtesy reaps friendship 

And he who plants kindness

Gathers love .

The Heart

Do not be afraid , rest your heart  .

I will never leave you or forsake you .

Let this assurance soak into your mind 

And heart until you flow with joy not tears .

Lord help me to open my mouth 

But first help me to open my heart to care

And my ears to listen .

Lord open my ears to hear you 

And my heart to sense you .

Lord open my heart to your loving care .

I need to listen less to my thoughts 

And more to God's thoughts .

I should not worry about things 

That are only in my mind 

But rest my heart every day .

The Provider

Outside my window the squirrels 

Are in a race against an April snow storm 

To bury their acorn in a safe accessible place .

A deer can go my window 

And not make a sound 

But one squirrel can sound like an invasion .

A deer does not prepare for winter .

A squirrel would starve 

If they could not find suitable food .

We work and save for the future .

God meets our needs 

When our resources are scarce .

The Lord leads us through perilous 

Places to pleasant pastures .

We all need to work while we can ,

Save what we can , share what we can 

And trust God to meet our needs 

Because he helps provide for us .

We need to believe in him .

If I Could Sing The Songs Today

I wish , I could sing these songs today .

I was almost persuades .

It is a bloody mary morning .

I am so sorry for being a fool .

I am not in my tender years .

Make the world go away .

Don't worry about me .

The greatest story  ever told .

The sweetest song I know .

Sometimes it takes a mountain 

To get a hold of me 

To trust me and believe in you .

What as friend we have in Jesus .

His heart is broken when I strayed .

Who am I

The answer I may never know .

Why did he love me so much .

If I could sing those songs 

One more time !

Oh To Learn

Get over the idea that only children

Should spend their time in studies .

Be a student so long

As you still have something to learn 

And this will mean all your life  .

A single conversation 

Across the table with a wise person 

Is worth a mouth's study of books .

It is what you learn 

After you know it all that counts .

Get wise and listen 

And add it to your learning .

Continue in what you have learned

And have become convinced

Of because you know those from whom 

You learned it 

And now from infancy 

You have known the holy scriptures 

Which are able to make you wise 

With the faith of Christ Jesus .

Pray Big

Pray for big things .

A God size prayer are big ones .

You need to ask for big things .

Do not short change .

Yourself or maybe your dreams .

He will give you the desires

Of your heart .

You never bother God .

Always honor God .

Pray for a blessing 

For prayer is good .

Always feel free 

To Talk to God any way you can

Even through your heart .

Easy

Do not be discouraged 

Do not worry 

God will oil your life .

He will make your life easy .

Your worry will break loose .

Put your mind in the right direction .

New doors will open .

You will pass your test .

Good things will come your way .

Things will fall into place .

God will fight your battles 

So get ready for your harvest .

Listen To Me

My days may be vanishing 

Like old smoky .

My bones seem to be burning 

Away like fire .

My heart is withering 

Like April snow .

I cry with all my strength 

And my skin clings 

To my old bones .

Oh Lord listen to my prayers 

And I will cry for help from you .

Do not hide from me in days 

Of my distress .

Turn your ears toward me 

And answer me quickly 

When I pray .

                    I Love You All

Feed Yourself

Do not feed your history .

Feed your destiny .

Do not feed your negativities .

Feed yourself with joy .

Do not feed doubt 

But feed faith .

Do not feed your worry ,

Your mistakes or self pity .

Always feed hope and happiness

And peace .

What ever you feed will grow .

What you do not feed will die .

Never water the bad things 

Only the good things .

                      I Love You All

                      By Brock

Patience

Patience is time used wisely .

Learn from the mistakes of others .

You can not live long enough 

To make them all yourself .

You must start with patience .

Use disappointment as material

For patience .

Trouble is only opportunity 

In work cloths .

The more difficult the obstacle 

The stronger one becomes 

After hurdling it .

No difficulty , no discovery 

No pain no gain ,

You must have patience .

Remember why value 

The present hour less

Than some future hour .

It can take just a little 

To make big changes 

But you must have patience .

Genius is only patience .

Time To Think

Just think about the time spent 

And the time not spent  .

The time not spent with your mother ,

The time not spent with your father ,

The time not spent with your brother ,

The time not spent with your sister ,

The time not spent with your family and friends ,

The time not spent with your lover ,

Your wife .your husband  ,

The time not spent with your children,

The time not spent with your grand children .

Just think about the time spent 

With everyone and how lucky you were

And the time not spent and the time lost .

So go do something about the time 

You do have to spend with them.

Only By Prayer

Grieving by her uncontrollable sobs .

I soon added my own tears 

And a silent prayer .

What am I suppose to do Lord ?

Her wails squeezed my heart .

I could not stop her pain or

Fix her situation 

Or find one intelligible of encouragement 

But I know who could help[ her .

I whispered repeatedly Jesus Jesus .

Her cries turned quietly to sniffs and whimpers 

Until her breathing slowed 

For she is sleeping .

I ended up weeping prayers 

Into my pillow Jesus Jesus  .

Meaning Of Love

Radiating the pure light of His love 

Through our humanity ,

That we discover who we are 

And what we were intended to be .

God looks at the world through the eyes

Of love .

If we therefore are human beings 

Made in the image of God 

Also want to see reality 

Rationally that is as it truly is ,

Then we too must learn to look 

At what we see with love .

Remember little eyes

Are watching you always .

In God's wisdom ,

He frequently chooses

To meet our needs by showing 

His love toward us through the hands 

Of others .

Love must be sincere.

What reveals a genuine love 

For God is the ability 

To convince your family 

And friends of yours 

Your love for them .

                    I Love You All

                    By Brock

He Is Special

When they heard that he was alive 

They did not believe .

In our dark days 

We can lose faith .

We can forget the miracles 

He has already performed 

In our lives .

He is still performing miracles .

He is still healing us ,

Still bring to life our dying dreams 

And broken relationships .

He lets in the light of second chances 

And the fresh air of renewed hope .

All you have to do is believe in Him 

And how special He is .

Be Positive Or Quiet

Do not speak negatively .

Do not speak of defeat 

But of victory .

Do not think about and speak

About things you worry about .

Put a lock over your mouth .

You may not be a winner

But you should believe it 

And be quiet .

If you can not say anything 

Good about someone ,

Do not say a word .

If someone ask how you are doing ,

Tell them I am fine 

For the shape I am in 

And all is well .

                 I Love You All

Your Restoration

God knows how to make up for your lost time .

God never brings you out the same only better .

Never be discourage to believe ,

Don't talk yourself out of restoration .

God will pay you back 

For what is truly yours .

Get your hopes up .

Your pay day is coming your way .

Your restoration is coming .

April This Year

This April we have had to many 

Snow showers and storms .

No warm showers 

No warm breezes 

This April

It is just cold as can be .

When I go outside ,

The sun is in my eyes

And when I drive

What comes over me

Is fear .

April is just cruel .
April have failed me this year .

A Friend

A friend is the first to give

A friendly sign ,

To nod first , smile first ,

Speak first and if such 

thing is necessary forgives first .

Friendship is to be purchased

Only by friendship .

The only way to have a friend

Is to be one .

A friend is one who knows

All about you and still likes you .

Friendship is the only cement 

That will ever hold the world together .

A friend is a present you give yourself .

A friend is one who comes to you

When all others leave .

The Bright Side

Let the beautiful world parade 

Before your eyes .

It never hurts your eye sight 

To look on the bright side of things .

When your stressed you should think 

Of your friends 

And how much they love you 

Then you will feel better .

Smile and laugh with your happy friends 

When they are happy .

Try and keep your since of humor .

When you can see the funny side of a problem ,

Sometimes it stops being 

So much of a problem .

Keep your face to the sunshine 

And you will not see your shadow .

The ways of right-living people will glow

In the light ,

The longer you live 

The brighter you will shine .

All you have to do is believe 

In the bright side of life .

The Ability

I would like to have the capacity

To teach more than X and Os

And show love .

I would like to spread joy .

I would like to put a smile on the face 

Of those who are sick 

And take away the pain for awhile .

I would like to have the ability 

And the strength to handle my time

Of trial and distress .

The ability to reach out to the poor

And those alienated .

The ability to have and share 

Compassion , tenderness and generosity .

I pray that I can make a difference 

In someone's life every day .

The Cross

The cross is the school

Of virtues

The place of sorrow 

The home of wisdom 

The throne of love

The theater of joy 

The root of happiness

And the gate to heaven 

I carry the rosary 

With me every day

Use Your Imagination

Don't worry about the pictures in your mind .

Somethings are made up only in your mind .

Use your imagination to see

Joy and good health .

Protect your imagination .

Never use you imagination to worry .

Keep the right pictures 

In your Imagination .

Use your imagination for all 

That you can do today .

Use your imagination 

And look for the hidden treasure .

Remember God will be found by you 

And he has you in the palm of his hand .

Quiet Time

It is not easy for me to be quiet 

The way a person treated me .

My world is loud 

All the noise 

Just seeps into my heart and my mind 

I became jumpy .

I feel old and restless and on edge 

Even when I tried to sleep .

God seems so far away 

But I know for sure 

He is always holding my hand .

When I quiet my heart ,

I know then that He is here 

For me .

He has the patience waiting 

And ready to show me 

His love and the way .

Thanks to him 

I know it is time to find 

A quiet place and pray .
