Thanksgiving Day

Are you thankful this year
Recalling God’s kindness
His daily, unfailing love
Despite our flaws, and blindness?

Take the Time

Take time, to smell the roses
Listen to a hurting soul
Hold a hand, speak a kindness
Help restore, a sinner whole.

Retirement

So, prepare well for heaven
Through Jesus, the Lord
Spend more time in prayer
And sharing God’s Word.

Our Motives

Our motives so matter
To take, or to give
Self-serving, or God’s glory
For what do we live?

Modern Marriage

Seems marriage today
Lacks God at the center
Now, it’s all about ‘me’
With no plan, to surrender.

Marriage

So, serve one another
And think of their best
Forgive, when they fail you
And try not to test.

Repairing Relationships

For hearts have so hardened
Forgiveness, forgotten
Love, is so lacking
God’s truths, downtrodden.

Fixing Broken Relationships

‘Feed your enemy, if hungry
And if thirsty, water too
Heap coals of fire, on his head
The LORD, will reward you’.

Failing to Love

And likewise, our neighbor
To love, as our self
Yet too often, we’re selfish
Serving largely, our self.

Discounting Divorce

Instead of commitment
Honoring God, and spouse
We’re caught up, in a culture
Pleasing ‘self’ and our doubts.
