After assembling a puzzle, standing
amazed at the picture I see,
If misplaced pieces, a beautiful picture there would not be.
Assembling a puzzle, forcing pieces where they do not belong.
As the puzzle came together, realizing that piece was wrong.
Our lives are similar. Not having all the pieces in their place.
I can't begin to imagine the
puzzle reflecting God’s Grace
At times I try to force a piece where it shouldn't be.
This brings much confusion, for a complete picture I cannot see.
Once the puzzle of my life is made complete
I will see the Shining Face of Jesus as I kneel at His feet.

Some feel a Divine Calling from God.
Many find themselves serving abroad.
Receiving the best education, to prepare for the task
feeling comfortable, answering any questions they may be asked.
All the worldly tools they have under their belt,
planning a budget or preparing a sermon that will be heart felt.
Going out to perform the Great Commission,
Often forgetting to stop and ask God’s permission.
Finding, His desire for their life
certainly brings much less strife.
The most valuable tools, Stop, Pray, and Listen.
Using these, everything done for God will Glisten.

What kind of antenna should I choose?
If the price is right, not one, would I refuse?
Maybe a Dipole, Beam, or a Magnetic Loop
put some fire in the wire and QSO the whole group.
Location and space would be two choices that would greatly matter.
The more money you can invest, I suppose would be for the better.
Invest as much money in your antenna as in your rig.
Your fellow hams will always give you an S-Signal that is quite big.
I’m grateful no antenna is required,
to connect with Jesus and his love.
There is no cost to bow our head on bended knee,
having a QSO with our savior above.

As the kids board the school bus, with their seats to share.
We bow our heads and Ask God, to keep them in his care.
From when they leave the house until they arrive back home
We pray for their Devine Protection wherever they may roam.
For there is only “One” that can be with them every second of the day.
That's Our Heavenly Father who is omnipresent in His own way.

I know a Godly Airline Captain who flies all over the sphere.
Moving all types of merchandise from here to there.
This makes our life much easier for each of us.
Obtaining our commodities with much less fuss.
The difference between this Pilot and others I know.
He closely walks with GOD wherever he goes.
His Parents taught him the meaning of the Good Book from the start.
The instructions they gave him, shine a bright light from his heart.
If you see someone doing a service for you today.
Bow your head and say a prayer, to keep them safe along their way.

If we shift something that GOD has put into its Holy place.
Is there a possibility in the future, that will bring us much disgrace.
Man will never have the power to save mankind.
He has conjured that up in his own selfish mind.
So who does have the power to save mankind from destruction.
Discovering the creator of the universe will lead to the correct deduction.

The fragrances of this beautiful time of year
Enhance my senses, recalling memories so dear
It is in God's Great Plan from where it all began
for the sense of smell to bring back memories to man
The smells of sugar and spice on Thanksgiving Day
Brings back many memories of a Wonderful Holiday
Family and friends gathered around, sharing loving stories
Thanking God for the many blessings bestowed through His Glory
Parades, football games, afternoon naps
All of these things point us to the couch to relax
After our snooze, we joyfully awake
Anxiously waiting for another Thanksgiving dawn to break

Smile when you're happy, smile when you're sad.
Did you ever try and force a smile when youve been bad ?
An outward smile is an indication of how you want to feel.
If you have the spirit of God in you, your smile will be very real.
You can smile through good times, you can smile through bad times.
Inside you, your beating heart will be happy all the time.
When your happy inside through and through.
Never again in your heart can sadness conquer you.
What is the secret to this happiness I do tell?
It is knowing GOD’S SON JESUS and drinking from his well.

I'd rather have Jesus, why, you ask I say.
I can only speak for myself, the feelings I have today.
Before I found the power of Jesus, I was not happy in any way.
Since he came into my life, all my cares have gone far away.
I can not explain what has happened to me.
The splendor of Jesus's love is the only key.
How can I find this happiness, you ask me.
Bow your head and ask him to come, walk with me.
Wherever in this life, you find your station.
you can have contentment in any situation.

The Lord Is My Shepherd, that’s all I need to know.
If only I will let Him lead me wherever I go.
This Amazing love I do not completely understand.
Just knowing it comes from God through his Loving Hand.
He sent His Son Jesus to show his Love for me.
I can’t thank Him enough for His Blood He shed at Calvary
The Grace He has shown all mankind is far beyond my feeble mind.
I bow my head at the end of every day,
Thanking God He is walking with me all along the way.
