I heard those Golden Bells on Christmas Day.
Oh, the Peace and Joy it brought into my heart to stay.

The world swirled about me on Christmas Day.
Through tears, I heard him say.
Your Savior is being born today.

I heard the Golden Bells again on Christmas Day
This time with Crystal clarity, I can not explain away 

Every Christmas with Jesus is Sweeter than The Christmas before. 
Every Christmas, the Love He sends   Burns in my heart more than ever before.

The Greatest Gift God gave me. His Son Jesus from His Heart of Love. 
I will never be able to repay You, only by trying to share your Precious Love.

                  Boeing's  Code Cat

Boeing employs my Dad. I help him out now and then.  
When a coder has a problem, I'm proud to be their friend

I listened to much data from many of Daddy's friends. 
Hours of Spilling their guts to me helps them to no end. 

Sounds Silly, I know. If it were not for me, Many questions would go unanswered.  
After much talking, they seem to find the elusive answer. 

I'm proud to say I help to keep Boeing's Planes in the air.
It's a Great Big Honor and a delightful burden to bear.

A smile or a frown

With a smile or a frown on my face, I wear
Most pass me by without a care 

If I were a smile, it would seem infectious 
In those I meet, I see a smiling reflection

If from me, they see a frown
Most often, they will glance down

A lesson learned from this today 
Keep a smile on your face everyday

It’s not what I expected

It's not what I expected but more than I could ever imagine 
What I imagine, in all likelihood, will never happen 

Being open to all that comes my way
It gives the option to choose everyday

By choosing the right option, I will be well on my way 
To the grandest dream, I've ever prayed

The Internet

Is the intent of the internet good or evil?
The answer to that lies in the data of my retrieval.

If I look for the good, I will find God.
If I look for evil, I will find the devil.

The desires of my mind reveal the inner feelings of my heart. 
What I'm revealing may indicate if I'm very smart 

Using fire for good. Using fire for evil
My preferences will reveal my feelings to all people

I'm Ginger, as cute as I can be
I live on a farm with Brad and Cheryl 
I like to wallow under their tree

Their so kind to me, feeding me Very well every day 
I'm a little suspicious, Thinking of running away

Everyone treats my relatives exceptionally well every day
They seem to disappear from where they stay

Oh well, enough to worry about now
Root and snort and escape somehow

If I show up missing in the future
Please check with their Butcher

End of Time

The closer to the end of time
The truer His Word will become

The excitement welling up inside me; I’m looking forward to His return

Sprinting toward the light of the son, oh, how my heart burns

His Great Love, I begin to feel
Come, Jesus, Come, Jesus, for your work will be done 

Praise God, Praise God. In the end, we will all become one

Christmas Tree from Heaven

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood, Tennessee
Seeing a Christmas tree from Heaven
It may bring a tear to your eye
Remembering the Christmases of days gone by

Being decorated with the twinkling stars in the sky
The ornaments of His Everlasting Love
The Star of Bethlem resting above

The presents under the tree, blessings from God to you and me
I bow my head and say thank you, God, for Every Christmas I see
