Precious Lord,
Your gentle eyes radiate so much love to all.
You have compassion for us, your children.
Your loving and gentle hand is always reaching
out for us to hold, which will guide us through
the perils and heartaches of life.
God Bless You Lord.
Amen

I HAVE PEACE WITHIN
Precious Lord,
Gracious are You that believeth in me.
I had doubts before I opened up my heart
and let You in.
I have peace knowing that you're by
my side.
Precious Jesus I Love You.
Amen

A DAY AT THE RINK
My twin granddaughter's Michelle and Danielle (12) are very good roller skaters today! A few years back I took them roller skating and since then between their Mom and Dad and myself we've kept the sport alive, and take them as much as we can. Lately though they've wanted to go more so it's okay with us. What good excerise for them and their love of looking forward to going each weekend is what makes me happy!
They now show the skill that they learned and really have a good time at the rink. They are good skaters and I'm proud of them for sticking to it. They meet friends there and take along a friend or two at times.
Over this President's day weekend we went twice. My husband's daughter Celeste, and her son (our grandson Trevor) went skating with us. My husband and I watched as they sped by and enjoyed every minute of the time at the rink.
The next day we went to a movie at the Harkin's movie theatre. This is the movie we saw: "Lighting Thief" - Good movie if you like a mythology based movie. The movie had a plot about the lighting rod thief. You got lost in it with your imagination. It was a good movie for kids and adults too! It had a good ending, which makes the movie worth seeing.
All-in-all I enjoyed the weekend with family. It was busy and active and I'm wanting to do it all over again....!

GENTLE EYES
The Gentle Eyes of Jesus give hope us hope when we have doubt.
The Gentle Eyes of Jesus make us look within, not out.
Oh! Our Heavenly Father, You breathed and Jesus life began. Gentle and
sweet and in the 'Image' of man.
Oh, Precious God up above; thank you for giving us Jesus to love.
Jesus' Gentle Eyes are ours to behold, keeping us calm and making us whole.
We praise You each day for your Faith, Love and Hope; with your energizing Eyes
keeping us close.
To You Lord we give thanks, keeping your commandments as our energy bank.
Fulfilled by your love, and washed by your blood, your Gentle Eyes are penetrating
your love.
Amen

A christian shines with pure delight, not knowing the future not now in sight.
His eyes are pure, his smile demure; he is my brother, alike are we, we have the same Father His children are we.
We seek, we find together forever in constant peace. Keep seeking and finding and my brother you'll know , for his light will blind you as his goodness shows.
Amen

JESUS STEP LADDER OF FAITH
PREFACE....
The day Jesus died on the cross, his step ladder was buried, but never lost. His job as a Carpenter was not without end.
God's plan as it be - was to get the message to you and me. So Jesus came forth, and we wouldn't let him go. His spiritual warfare was guiding us through. And his step ladder of faith brought us to You.
JESUS STEP LADDER OF FAITH
Up above oh so high, Jesus step ladder is lowered below....
Step 1..... His ladder is out - He is needed on earth - He's the Savior for sinner's who are down on their luck.
Step 2...... Step 3......
His beeper sounds, and low and behold it's neighbor Joe; Satan is attacking his body and soul. Joe cries out, "Oh Jesus Whoa! I need You now in the very worst way. I'm about to fall and I need your strength, to stay off the bottle before I sink."
By Step 4.....
Jesus appears, letting Joe know that he's safe and okay. Jesus never gets past Step 4. He starts back home to his heavenly post, and the beeper keeps him busy with earthly woes.
The alarm sounds and Jesus steps down - A friend not foe is on the ground. A robbery occured and a good man fell. So Jesus went after the target man. Saving him is Jesus aim, to bring him to his Father without blame. Only Love him home and have faith he will be; a sinner saved into eternity.
Amen

TRUE STORY OF A TIME IN MY LIFE....
Wanda Messimer
This is a true story of a time in my life that
I needed inspiration – and kept praying to God
for guidance – this is what came about...
It was raining outside, and I was in the harmony of the pitter-patter
on the window pane; sitting on the couch relaxed, and in-between
jobs, I had free time on my hands.
I was watching the “700 Club,” hosted by Ben Kinslow that day.
Fascinated by the message that was being delivered, I listened, not
knowing the impact it would have on me. Ben was saying to do the
best at whatever is your passion in life. Whether it be writing,
singing, painting, or a student – “Just Put Your Best Foot Forward,”
and with dedication and forbearance – go forward. I had no idea
my interest would be in poetry. I liked the “play-on-words,” and
enjoyed reading poetry and prose.
I turned off the television, and reached for my tablet and pen. My
first impluse was to jot down ideas of what my passion was.
Instinctively, I felt a pull toward writing about nature and the
wonderful world we live in; the happiness and joy of being alive.
As I finished writing the poem, I read it over, and was pleased with
the words that flowed onto the paper. I went about my day’s
activities, never giving the poem another thought.
The next day at 10:00 A.M., I turned on the 700 Club, and
listened to the message. Ben Kinslow was speaking on the subject
“follow your dreams.” It was almost like he was speaking directly
to me. At that moment, I realized my dream was writing. I turned
the television off and wrote four poems. This went on for about
two weeks – my head was spinning with more ideas for poems.
Through Ben Kinslow the Lord was speaking to me. His
message brought out the power of my written words, that were
hidden within my soul, and needed a little push to surface.
My poems took off. At this point, two of them are published
in the “New American Poetry Anthology Book, by John Campbell,
Editor and Publisher. In 1988 I won a contest, honoring me as the
“Golden Poet” of the year. The poem that I wrote for the contest
was titled “God’s Love Grows.”
As I was walking up to the podium to accept my trophy, I said
a silent prayer. “Oh Lord, thank you for believing in me and bringing
me to this place.” The trophy sits on my computer desk,
always reminding me to stay close to the Lord, and never give up on
myself.
