On That Day

On that day, the birds shed a tear
All nature stood still
As Jesus climbed that hill

The sky turned dark the curtain was torn 
All that could be heard were those that mourn. 

On that resurrection Day the Son shone bright 
The birds sang to heaven to their delight. 

A warmth covered the earth from above
Oh God we can only thank you for your Love. 

Mat 28:6  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

 Be a Lover, Not a Fighter
by Mark C. Waldrop

Be a lover, not a fighter,
Let kindness be your flame and lighter.
But when what’s dear is on the line,
Stand tall in truth—let courage shine. 🌟

Love is gentle, soft, and kind,
Yet strength and faith walk close behind.
For peace is born from hearts that care,
And battles won through love and prayer. 💖

So lift your hands not up in rage,
But in defense of hearts you save.
Be a lover—bold, yet true—
And fight for love in all you do. 🕊️

1Co 16:14  Do everything in love.

In the Quiet, He Is There
by Mark C. Waldrop

Praying without ceasing in the quiet,
You know God is always there.
No words are necessary,
Just feelings laid bare.

In the hush before dawn’s first light,
When the world still sleeps and sighs,
Your spirit whispers what words cannot,
And Heaven hears your silent cries.

When storms within refuse to rest,
And peace feels far away,
You’ll find Him waiting in the calm
He’s near before you pray.

Every heartbeat is a language,
Every breath a sacred song,
For prayer is not the sound of speech,
But knowing where you belong.

In joy, in grief, in shadowed fear,
When no one seems to care,
He listens through the quiet tears
Your soul’s unspoken prayer.

So pause and rest within His grace,
Release each worldly care.
For praying without ceasing means
To live each day aware:
That in the silence, in the storm,
In every breath of air
You’re never truly all alone.
God is always there.

1Th 5:17  Pray without ceasing

God’s Power on Display

God’s Power is on display every day,
Those who reject Him are blinded, I must say.
The heavens declare His glory above,
Each sunrise and star speaks of His love.

The seas roar out His mighty hand,
Mountains rise firm at His command.
Yet hearts grow cold when they turn away,
Ignoring the signs of His lighted way.

But those who walk in His guiding grace,
Behold His wonders in every place.
For faith unveils what eyes can’t see
God’s Power alive for you and me

Rom 1:20  For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

     A Prayer for Giving

I pray today with humble heart,
That what I give will do its part.
Not wealth, not pride, nor earthly gain,
But souls redeemed in Jesus’ name.

May dollars sown not feed excess,
Nor fund a life of selfishness.
But may they go where hearts are torn,
To bring the lost to be reborn.

For what is given, Lord, is Thine,
A trust, a seed, a holy sign.
Use it well, O God above,
To spread Your truth, to show Your love.

2Co 9:7  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
