Love and Kindness go a long way
In most any situation I would say
The more you give, the more you get
Never having any doubtful regrets
Love and kindness will bring out the best in anyone
Even when they have lost all hope in almost everyone
The next chance you have, give all the Love and kindness you can spare
For this will surely make this world a much better place, when we share

Inspired from
On the Road with Steve Hartman
An assistant manager at McDonald's
Gave so much Love and Kindness to
The young people employed at her store.
Why this why that, a very daunting topic I must say.
We never have a firm answer, always asking why at the end of the day.
We can ask why about most anything I suppose.
When it comes to the very heart of the matter, only God knows.
The closer we are to him, the more We will understand.
The answer only being revealed in the Promise Land.

Mentioned the town “Why” in Arizona
With which are you more satisfied in life, now or then?
Some may ponder and say now, others may say then.
If seeing now the mistakes you made then
correcting the situation,
you will never make them again.
Making these choices will bring You much happiness within.
Making the correct answer always being now, my friend.

Does God take care of all the little details for you?
It's often easier to see the big ones and let the little ones slip through.
The closer we get to God, the picture becomes clear.
Standing at a distance, the details become a smear.
Large details are easier to see from quite a distance.
The smaller one's come into clear focus if we only listen.
No matter where you find your station in life
closeness to God will bring you much less strife.

Who is your trainer and where do you meet them?
Do you have a membership? Is it at a local gym?
Do you perform exercises to get into shape?
So that an early grave you might escape.
Do you have a trainer for your spiritual body?
Where do you meet them? Is it a place where God’s word you study?
Unlike physical training, to lengthen your earthly life.
Here, learning about God’s Son Jesus will bring you eternal life.
This could be a Church or a meeting with friends.
Wherever reading God’s word, never ends.
The more you exercise your Spirit, the closer you get to him.
You feel his Love and mercy. His face becomes not nearly so dim.
You will hear the trainer's every word.
Realizing that it is you, he has heard.

The unforgettable Day the Earth stood so very still
was the Glorious Day, Jesus obeyed His Father's Will
The darkest day that will ever be
Nothing like that will we ever see
On Resurrection Day a bright light from Heaven
shown through.
Looking directly into that light could easily blind you
At night when there is an absence of light
The warmth of his love will become so bright
You will never be anxious in the dreary dark again.
When you meet Jesus and ask him to come live within.

Everybody needs a hug even your dog or cat
More important family and friends deserve that
Why is a hug so important you might ask?
It's the genuine love that's transferred by the task.
No words need to be spoken
The hug shows your heart is very open
Whether In grief or whether in joy
A hug is always proper to deploy
A hug lifts a person's spirits, no matter what the situation
Always being given and received with great appreciation

Aren't you glad you have Joy in your heart.
Since you met him, He will never depart.
You have died with Him in sin.
Only to be raised with a new song within.
Joy Joy Joy will lift your spirits high every day.
Even in difficult times, you see your situation in a much different way.
How can this possibly be you might ask?
Only God Himself can perform this task.
Where do I find this God you are talking about?
Finding Him through His Son Jesus, there is no doubt.
How can I be sure he will be there for me?
You can't unless you bow before Him on bended knee.
He came into my heart when I asked him one day.
From then on I can count on Him being with me, to stay.
Heb 1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy."

Temptation tests you to your very core.
It so very easy to enter the wrong door.
If it's all good, no temptation will there be.
In the absence of good, temptation we will not see.
So many temptations, we can't begin to count.
We can only be aware, to credit the good to our account.
To steer from the many snares in life
focus on the light of Jesus Christ.
Physical or Spiritual temptation, a decision must be made.
Choosing the right path, Peace and Love of God will be displayed
The choice is never easy, for the wrong may seem so right.
One can only discern by focusing on the truth of God’s Holy Light.
Mat 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Keep your car fueled up for a pleasant trip.
If you happen to run out of gas, you will hear lip.
That should be the same for life, I suppose.
We need to be energized from our heads to our toes.
How do you do this, someone might ask?
The Holy Spirit of GOD performs the task.
The next question, where can I find this spirit, and who holds the key?
The answer is quite simple, God’s Only Son Jesus.
He enters the door when we're on bended knee.
This seems impossible, it's something you can't touch.
It works that way because God loves us so much.
Most not wanting to surrender, much less to a spirit they can't see.
That's is His plan, that by faith we may
be set free.
His plan, through faith, is for the rich, poor, bondslave and free.
All ground at the foot of the cross is level ground for you and me.
Adopting us all, through his
unexplainable Love.
Only we hold the power to Commune with God above.
When you let Jesus come into your heart one day
only then the unexplainable can't be explained away.
