Never Lonely

I found myself alone in our home .
Nearly every day my wife wishes to sleep .
My daughter and grandson are away .
It was and is difficult for me 
To adjust to my new kind of loneliness these days .
Thank God I have television to fill up my times 
When I do not work .
I may not say anything about it 
But loneliness weighs heavily upon me .
Every new day can bring new worries .
You all know me .
However I praise our living God 
For not leaving me alone .
Everyday God communicates with me 
As I read from the Bible .
God will never leave me 
Nor forsake me .
He will comfort and strengthen me .
I place my worries in God's hands .
I do pray for others .
I grew more into my faith 
As I learned to trust God more and more .
This brought amazing peace into my heart .

Her Pain

She walks around in her pain .
She walks each day in a tunnel 
Of her grief .
I think , there are days 
She even felt unaware
Of what was going on around her 
I think she was blinded by the pain .
She could not see God .
She feels weighed down by the pain 
But now she can find hope and comfort 
In the reality that Jesus is alive 
And at work in the world 
And in her and in all of us .
Although we all face heart ache and pain ,
We all can welcome Christ 
To walk with us in our tunnel of pain .
Like the light of the world 
He can bring rays of hope 
To brighten our fog .

Keep Your Joy

Keep your joy !
Don't be a garbage truck .
You know what I mean .
Don't let the everyday 
Garbage you go through 
Weigh you down .
Keep your cool .
Keep your lid on .
Your time is limited .
Remember God gave you
Breath so enjoy it .
You control your joy .
Remember your joy 
Is a gift to you for today 
So always keep your joy .

A Gift Of Friendship

We promised to be friends forever .
I was hurt when he moved away .
My grandma consoled me .
She encouraged me by telling me
You have honored your promise 
Of friendship 
And if or when your friend returns ,
I am sure you will remain friends .
This was my first lesson in covenant friendship .
I still grieve even today the loss of my friends 
But I am grateful to God for whatever
Time I had with them .
Friendship is a gift from God for our enjoyment 
As well as our spiritual growth forever .

In Anger

I was told that someone 
Had spoken negatively about me .
I became furious and immediately 
Went to confront the person .
As I was dashing off 
I remembered to pursue peace 
With everyone .
I turned back to what I wanted to do 
So I went back home immediately .
I decided to obey the words of God 
And not to fight .
Reading , studying the word of God 
Helps me to behave in ways 
That pleases God .
So I went fishing .

The Hope Cord

I want to give you hope  .
Hope is like a golden 
Cord connecting you to heaven .
The cord helps you hold 
Your head up high , even when 
Many of your trials are buffing you .
I will never leave your side 
And I will never let goo of your hand .
But without the cord of hope ,
Your head may go under water .
But hope lifts your perspective 
From going under water to
Seeing the clear sky above water .
We will travel together 
And ultimately we will 
make it to the shore .
I am training you to trust me 
And to know you will always
Have hope .
Remember we all have hope in Jesus .

Her Eyes

Do you see what she sees .
When you look into her eyes ,
Do you see what is hurting her ?
Do you see any joy at all ?
When you look into her eyes ,
Do you see her heart ache ?
Do you see the trouble that is before her ?
Can you see the attitude of her mind ?
What do you see when you see her
Slam the door on the doctor's noise ?
When you see someone 
Who is always in pain 
What do you see ?

A Neighbor

I want to be a neighbor 
I should be .
I want to always be
Able to reach out with kindness
Like the neighbor that lives by me .
She lends a helping hand 
When she sees me in need .
She is awesome in deed .
With her heart that really cares .
She is never afraid to reach out
To help me .

My Friend

With one hand 
He will lift up my face
And with the other
He will gently take
The teardrops away 
And at that moment 
The troubles and pain 
That is inside 
Will not matter 
Because he is here
For me 
And my heart finds rest 
From all my fears 
In his first hug 
Because he is here
Just for me .

                 With Love 
                  By Brock

Oh Why

I do not know why .
But Jesus knows why 
In this moment now .
God knows what I need today 
To draw me closer to my
Relationship with Him 
Though I won't always understand ,
I can trust that God is working 
In my life and the lives of my loved ones .
I know He will give me the strength ,
Courage and clarity I need
To persevere in following Him always .

The Light

When life becomes 
Hard to bear
Light a candle 
And say a prayer .
Remember God's light
Keeps shining for everyone .
Always remember we all have light 
That shines within .
In happy times and sadness too.
Our light shines bright .
It can not hide 
In the daytime or at night .
With hope and light 
We have life .

Oh Those Dandelions

I have a bumper crop of dandelions .
While I wanted to cry .
One day I was looking out the window .
Sawyer got beside me .
He said grandpa .
Look at all the beautiful yellow flowers .
Can we go pick them .
No wonder Jesus loved the little children .
I have been so focused on the negative 
That I did not see the beauty .
Now I see I have more time to pray 
And reading God's word .
Then I have ever had before .
How many times have I dismissed
A situations or people based on my 
Negative perception of them ?
We tend to see what we look for .
If I do not see God's glory 
In all things ,
I need a change of perspective 
And find the glory 
In all of God's creations .

A Good Student

I will say I am getting older .
But the older I become the more 
I am able to see God's guidance 
Through out my life .
I think God's authority is best
Seen in the rear view mirror .
This does not cause me to be 
Passive about life .
It is just waiting for God to push
Me to the next event .
It creates in me a deep trust
In my Creator who not only
Cares for me today .
But also directs my future .
It is all for my good .
I continue to learn about God's 
Guidance daily .
I hope that I am a good student .

The Morning Prayer

Have you ever enjoyed 
The morning prayers on a patio 
With coffee or green tea in an easy chair ?
Morning prayers can be said anywhere .
Do you take sometime in the morning 
For prayer , reflection . meditation 
Or silence ?
I know we can pray any time .
The thing about the morning 
Is that if we put off our prayer time 
Always thinking we will do it later .
We can do it later .
Well , pretty soon the day is shot 
And we are to tired to pray .
My grandma never was tired 
Nor should we .

Make A Deposit


Take time to show respect 
Do not forget to give someone a deposit .
Use what you have to make someone's day 
Show joy and thank them .
Be free with your thank you .
Leave people better off 
Than when first saw them .
Give some a hug .
Tell someone they are so beautiful and special 
and just surprise them .
They may smile on their own .
Never forget to give someone a deposit .
Pat someone's cheek .
Tell someone you will pray for them .
Be aware of who God put into your life .
Let your voice and hands and arms 
Make someone's day by giving them a deposit .
Call someone smiley and just see what happens 
And never be afraid to tell someone 
You love them .
You will make a deposit into their lives .

Rest For The Weary

I watched the heavily laden 
Branches of the blueberry bush 
As the plump juicy berries were removed .
A blueberry bush does not suffer 
From the same type of burdens that human do 
But like blueberry bushes ,
We can become weak
And non productive 
As we are weighed down by burdens .
When we try to cope with problems 
All by ourselves ,
Our health and lives are affected 
By worry , fear ,anger and sadness .
The burdens that weigh us down 
Might be unmanageable , work load
Financial worries , marital problems ,
Alcohol , drugs , an illness .
We need help in shedding our load .
When we are weary ,
We can trust Jesus .
Who promise to give us rest .

A Hero

He may have been a coach
Who never got paid 
But he was a hero to me .
He always said never give up .
When you wanted to give up
You can hear him
In your head .
He always said it is always better
To have character than to win .
He always uses the same words
Over and over again 
To help you grow ,
To make you better and also to understand .
He was a hero to me and others .
We all need to work together
To get the right thing done .
A hero can make a difference 
To someone who is also having a bad day to .
So always listen to your hero .
He looks for perfection 
And the best in you .
Thank you for being a hero to me .
You know who you are ,
And for believing in me every day .

When I Call

Lord teach me hope 
To pray with reverence 
And even fair 
Through dust and even dirt 
In your sight ,
I need to draw near you .
I give you thanks O God 
When I call upon your name .
I can recount your wonderful deeds .
I will rejoice forever 
And sing to you every day .
You shall break the power 
Of the wicked 
And bring the strength of the just .
When I call you ,
I know you will protect 
And love me .

Just One Of Those Days

Those days when I am sad and blue 
And I am a little despondent about may things .
I brace myself up and remind
Myself who can send my a robin singing 
A song of spring time .
I remember my dad singing 
About yellow birds while we were fishing .
Today the sun is pleasantly warm today .
Everything I think about and see gleams 
Without compare .
I have no idea right now 
Why I was sad or despondent 
In such a pretty place 
And the soft surrounding
Should comfort and make me glad .
I should be thankful for God 
So I go about each day's chore .
I am happy in my new state of mind 
And I become more alive .

No Matter The Age

As a rose bush grows 
The buds and early blossoms 
Become a vivid yellow .
Then as the rose opens ,
In full bloom 
The petals , become a gentle pink 
Finally the color of the rose changes again 
This time to a pure white .
Just as the rose radiates fragrance 
And the beauty right up until
Its petals fall just like my life 
In my 65 years my physical drive 
And energy are limited .
But God can still use my life 
To help others through my prayers 
For those facing serious issues .
May I give words of encouragement ,
Guidance and support .
I believe I still have ways
To help others and serve God 
Even at my age .
I am not getting older .
I am only getting better !

Your Love

May we gather together 
In a harvest of love .
I am so amazed to know
That I am in your heart .
I trust and rely on your personal
Love today and every day .
With you at my side 
What is there to fear .
You fill me with your love .

Be Cheerful

Begin and end each day
By reading about some cheerful reflection .
Laughter is a remedy for every sorrow .
When you mix a little foolishness
With your serious plans 
It is like being silly 
At the right moment .
A good laugh brings 
Sunshine into your home .
Smiles , chuckles and a truly belly laugh 
Are all spirit lifters .
Some of life's greatest lessons 
Are learned through laughter .
The Sweetest lives are those that brings 
Laughter to others .
Always find time to laugh once a day .

Tomorrow Tomorrow

The load you carry will not break
You down if you carry it with Jesus .
You should never worry about tomorrow .
Each day is divided into days and nights .
Always take one day at a time .
When you worry about the future ,
You jump over days of joy 
For maybe troubles that may come 
And maybe put it all on your flimsy frame .
You may or may not stagger under the heavy load ,
So do not worry about tomorrow .
Throw away your burden , your anxious thoughts 
That crisscross your mind .
Remember , the load that is your worry 
That you carry
Will not break you down 
If you carry it with Jesus .
Let Jesus carry your worries 
And trust Jesus to take care 
Of your worries all the time .

Listen To The River

As I was fishing on the bank 
Of the river 
With the morning sunlight glinting 
Of the water ,
The river's steady roar 
Filled me with peace .
Each time a big truck rumbled
Past on the nearby road 
The noise made me turn and look ,
Disturbing my pensive mood .
Then a thought dropped into my mind .
Listen to the river .
It becomes clear , If I want to keep
My peaceful feeling ,
I need to focus on the beauty of the river 
Not the distraction,
The troubling news stories , illness and other
Personal struggles that may bring worry .
The daily routines involving work , school and family 
Require our attention .
Remember , however when we listen to the river
We can find God's peace 
Even in the midst of a busy life .

Yourself

Today is your one day .
The best gift to give to someone 
Is you and your time and the best of yourself .
Oh to just look into their eyes  face to face .
You will never regret spending time 
And to give the warmth of your hug .
Life is short .
Life is like a mist 
And then it is gone .
You never know 
What tomorrow will bring .
Look who was put into your life .
Go see the people 
Who spent time with you 
When you were young or old !
Do not give excuses 
For not seeing someone you love .
Give someone you love and truly know
Your smile 
And call them smiley !
Tell them you care and love them .
Live every day as your last
And live everyday as if it was their last day 
So give the best gift you can ever give 
And that is yourself .

Hiding Our Hurts

When you talk to your pastor during the week ,
He will hear your heart breaking stories 
Of brokenness and weakness  .
Then at church on Sunday 
He will have the pain of watching 
You hide your hurts away  .
The pastor's heart aches
At the hidden hurts 
That God came to heal .
We all know it is not wise 
To share everything with everyone .
We also know that God intends 
His church to be a place 
Where we can live unapologetically 
As broken and forgiven followers of Christ .
It is a place where we all carry each other's burdens .
What are you hiding from others today ?
Remember , you can not hide them from God .
God sees us knows us and loves us .

Angry

When did we get so angry ,
Was it when we got up 
In the morning ,
Was it when we ate early in the morning 
Or when we went to work
Or when we ate dinner
or was it when we came home 
After a hard day 
and had supper 
Or when we sat down to watch 
What was on the news on TV 
And then went to bed angry 
About something we can not 
Even remember 
So when did we get so angry ?

A Little Time

With a little time spent with God 
Proves an asset along the way 
By filling the heart with joy and peace .
It makes for a faithful day .
God can embrace amid every lose of mine .
A daily prayer two times a day 
From a sincere soul 
Is worth more than a pot of gold .
For the depth of God's love can not 
Be Fathomed .
Heaven shines many treasures to behold .
Everyone needs a little time with him alone .
When the heart and soul are aching 
And frustration weigh a heavy sigh .
Remember all you need is just a little time 
For a faithful day .

My Strength

When I have a difficult situation
And I am unable to see my God ,
God is still there close to me .
When I have fears and the thoughts 
Of the uncertain future ,
Oh however the struggle 
And difficult the situation can be .
It all brings me into a more 
Intimate relationship with God .
I know him and he truly knows me
When I pray .

Excess Baggage

Do you have excess baggage ?
Let us throw everything
That hinders and can be easily 
Entangles us with so much baggage 
In our heart .
In our heart we may store up envy ,
Resentment ,bitterness and hurt 
Like excess baggage that keeps 
Us from becoming 
The people of God that God wants 
Us all to be .
Right now is the time to free
Our hearts from everything 
That does us harm 
And to seek
A genuine relationship 
With the all mighty .

He Knows Me


Given the condition I am in ,
My temperature runs high 
And my head aches .
I pray Lord I know you are with me .
I am weak and so tired .
He knows thoroughly everything about me 
As I go about my day .
No matter my chores , my situations 
Or my condition ,
He does not abandon 
Or forget who I am .
When I am in trouble 
And in a difficult circumstance 
In the darkness of night or light of day 
I am not hidden from his presence .
The truth gives me such hope and assurance 
That I can praise the Lord 
Who leads me through this life of mine .

My Race

As I rush at a face pace 
And try to show everyone 
That I can keep up with
The human race 
And I work with my loving spouse 
And at my job I always do the best 
I can with my pain 
I have at the end of the day .
I will embrace a child
And erase a tear 
When telling a story 
With a smile and dispelling a fear
From his eyes .
I have a special mission with many roles 
As I shape values and achieving goals 
As I go .
I hope to make this earth 
A little nicer while proving my worth .
I keep praying 
And I keep rushing in my busy day 
Because there is always someone 
Laughing at me 
But I always know that God loves me
And will give me strength on my bad days 
And I can always talk to him
During my race .

It Is Not Fair

Life is not always fair 
But God is always fair .
God is always in your heart ,
Remember , hope does not disappoint us .
You have an Act. with God .
God will pay you back .
Your table will be turned .
After someone tells you
Your not good at what you do .
Remember , God is the God of justice .
When you feel dumb and worried ,
Keep moving forward .
Shake off the self pity .
God has the final say .
Remember, to always believe in God .
Remember, you are living and working 
Under God everyday .

Hush Little One

When you picture a mom  poised lovingly 
Over her child  ,
Her finger gently placed in front 
Of her nose and lips softly speaking 
The words hush little one .
The words will help comfort 
And quiet the little one 
In the midst of disappointment ,
Discomfort or pain .
The child will find contentment 
By just being satisfied with simply 
Being with his mommy .
Life's circumstances change 
And sometimes we all are humbled .
Yet we can be hopeful and content knowing 
That there is one who has promised 
To never leave or forsake us .
We can trust Him fully .
No matter how old we are .

Dropped But Not Forgotten

You will not live without being dropped .
God will lift you up and give you joy .
You can become crippled by loneliness 
And mistreatment to .
God will do something about it .
You can not live hiding forever .
God has you in the palm of his hand .
He will give you what you need .
With God's help He will put you up
A higher level than you ever were before .
You need to stay in faith .
Justice is coming your way .
God will whisper good things in your ear .
God will make it up to you .
You have royal blood in you .
You are always on God's mind .
You are never alone .
With God you always have hope .

The Conqueror

It is going to be hard and painful .
I do not think I can do it at my age .
People tell me not to worry .
You can do it .
When I have a problem 
I cry out God it is going to be
To much for me .
I do not think I can do it .
I sometimes forget 
That God is always with me .
God is able to help me 
With my problem ,
But not always by removing it .
Instead ,sometimes God teaches
And strengthen me to overcome 
my problem .
I know God always stands 
By my side 
Showing me that I can be a conqueror .
I hope .

A Happy Man


A happy man is the man
Whose offenses are forgiven .
Oh happy the man to whom
The Lord imputes no guilt .
Oh God be merciful to me 
For I am a sinner .
For words and deeds 
Of impatience and anger 
pardon me .
For words and deeds 
Of selfish grasping 
Pardon me .
For words and deeds 
Of unkindness 
Pardon me .
For those sins of which
I am most ashamed 
Pardon me Lord .
I want to be a happy man .

Your Gift

You draw a breath every moment  
Of every day and night 
Is a gift from God .
He wants your live to be filled 
With his and your strength .
When you live to love and serve him .
Through your moment by moment 
And prayers and your reliance on his word .
You need to declare your dependence 
On him therefore you have a life time 
Gift from Him  .            
It is your gift .

The Glorious Colors

I saw a double rainbow .
It was so bright and so big .
It was a magnificent arc 
Stretching across the sky .
I stood mesmerized by its grandeur .
As I am in my back yard ,
I am never tired of the beauty of nature .
I love the trees , the rivers ,lakes .
It all captures my soul ,
Like the grass and the fields of flowers 
In the summer time .
I like the regal rock formations ,
The cascading falls of Sioux Falls ,
The farmer's crops to the city park .
They all draw me to their individual splendor .
As I take everything in , 
My final amazement is in the awesome God
Who created every thing .
Nature can take our breath away .
It was all created by the one 
Who gave us life and breath .

You have earned the right to show
What you can do .
You have earned the right to ask why
When you need to .
You have the right to show love 
And your heart 
When people laugh and do not respect you .
You have the right to build good things .
You earned the right to cry in sadness 
And also with joy .
You have the right to dream 
And for respect and dignity 
And to see things 
The way you see them .
You earned the right to pray 
At any time 
And to always have hope 
In the attempt to make the world 
A better place 
For you and everyone every day .
Remember , you need to always
have hope and believe in God .
And in the USA .

Patient To Physician

Once you have been a patient ,
You can be a physician .
When you have been healed and blessed 
Always help another .
If you have been through all the pain ,
Reach out to someone 
Who is going through the same pain these days .
When you have been blessed 
Then always give what God gives you .
Remember , If you do not give things away ,
You will never get anything new .
When you are strong 
Strengthen someone in need .

Requirements Or Prerequisites

God holds the light of the world .
He will knock on your door of your home .
If you open the door he will come in .
The kindness of Jesus .
He gently knocks on the door 
Of our souls with His offer of peace .
Jesus stands and patiently wait for us to respond .
He will not open the door Himself 
And force His way into our lives .
He does not impose His will on ours .
Instead , He offers to all people 
The gift of salvation and light to guide us .

Forgiveness

Do not repay evil with evil 
Or insult with insult ,
But with blessing ,
Because of this you were called
So that you may 
Inherit a blessing .
Miracle of miracles you are forgiven .
Because you are accepted 
And you will begin building 
Up the very places 
You once tore down .
It is always good to help in every kind 
Of trouble .
Goodness is the secret to begin the process 
Of being able 
To forgive yourself .
There is great pain and suffering 
In the world ,
But the pain that is hardest to bear is your own .
Before you forgive anyone 
You need to forgive yourself .

You Will See

Sawyer at age 4 said to his mom
He loves his mom all the way to heaven .
He and his mom have a special together 
Factor that gives him confidence 
To face the day cheerfully 
Before he is called Smiley !
When Sawyer is happy 
Be happy with him .
His time is here 
And rapidly approaching .
You will see .
Most plans with a 4 year old 
Are just inaccurate prediction 
For his mom .
His mother has changed her mind 
A dozen times 
For her boy for it seems to work 
Better that way .
A mother's failure if at all
Is the opportunity 
To begin again with more intelligently 
But with the same amount of love 
Between them no matter what .
You will see .

To Worship Faith

Open the door to Jesus .
Faith makes the up look good ,
The outlook bright ,
The in look favorable 
And the future glorious .
To worship is transcendent wonder .
Remember , the person who has met God 
Is not looking for something 
For he has found it .
He is not searching for light 
Has already shined 
Because he has faith .

Night Season

Time changes everything .
In the night season you can not see
What God is doing in the dark .
Night time is for testing .
You can cry in the dark .
You are going through the darkness .
Light will come in the morning 
And joy will come then .
Stay in faith and magnify God .
Quit worrying 
God will prepare you for good days .
Remember , you grow in tough times .
God never sleeps .
He has a night shift 
And God shifts things in the night .
Do the right thing in the tough times .
I trust that you want to do great things ,
Because you want only the best for me .

Wisdom

Wisdom is like honey 
For your life 
If you find it ,
Your future is bright .
An intelligent heart acquires knowledge .
Wisdom offers you life riches and honor .
The ears of the wise 
Seek knowledge .
To thy wisdom I resign 
And would make thy purpose mine .
Wisdom will multiply your days 
And add years to your life .
Wisdom will protect you just like money .
Knowledge with good sense will lead
You to a good life .

The Look From The Top

Christians have adversaries .
Trials and temptations
Will test our faith ,
Causing fear and doubt in us .
At times these battles are severe 
And we may feel like hiding .
But Christ wants us to see 
These enemies 
For what they really are .
Like defeating foes .
We know that we can trust God 
To lead us to victory .
In Christ our battles 
Are already won .

Your Unique Identity

How come all the mail
I get says occupant ?
Nobody wants to be just an occupant .
We all want to be somebody .
We stop to ask ourselves
Who we are in our job , in our homes ,
In the church .
We are somebody 
In the real sense of the word .
When we are a part of the body of Christ .
Oh we are so important there .
We are accepted .
We are redeemed .
We are unique .
We are each unique .
Every thumbprint is different .
God made us unique .
He made us human beings 
With unlimited potential .
We are each a special creation of God .
Each of us is different ,
And each is creative ,
Blessed with our own individual genius .
We are somebody .

Choose Life

To God the giver of life I pray .
Teach me to do your will Lord 
At home and at work .
Open my eyes to the demands of love .
In business and pleasure 
Grant me the wisdom
To choose as you would have me choose 
In making decisions for the unborn  ,
The aging , the dying .
Strengthen me to choose life 
And not to take one drink today or tonight 
To take one day at a time .

Make Room

Make room for love .
Make room for abundance .
Do not short change yourself .
Stretch your faith .
Make room for the blessing of God .
Be heavy with favor .
Let God magnify .
Make rooms for big things .
You can rise high
All you have to do is believe .
God is everything .
So always make room for him .

I Know

There is no conditional love
With God .
I know I am loved .
God is not like people  .
Nothing I do can change 
God's love for me .
God is way into me .
I am God's child.
The child God loves .
He will listen to all my needs 
And prayers .
I know I am dearly loved .
God's face is always 
Turned toward me always .
All my chains have fallen off ,
My heart is free ,
I know because of God's love
For me .
