Walk a mile in my shoes

If you would walk a mile in my shoes what would you see?
You would see  loving parents who always cared for me.

You would see those who always sacrificed for me. 
Introducing me to Jesus who always walked with me. 

Always gently guiding never pushing
having the freedom to be searching.

Through the many dark storms of life
walking with Jesus lessens the strive.

Never quitting whatever you start.
Building perseverance in your heart.

Perseverance leads to faith and faith to hope.
This combination broadens your spiritual scope.

What I am today is a product of where I've been.
Leading to a bright future, I'm proud to be in.

Wisdom

Wisdom is a very mysterious quality. 
It is a good part of your personality.  

The wiser you think you are, the less you know
The more you will make a spectacle wherever you go. 

Worldly wisdom will stay with you here on earth
It’s not a representation of your true worth. 

Wisdom from GOD should be the most desired. 
His wisdom and knowledge are all that’s required. 

It is easy to tell which wisdom you've got. 
If you try to pretend you are something you are not. 

True wisdom will bring God's truth out in you. 
Keeping you Happy all day and all the night through.

The Old ticking Clock

The tired Old Seth Thomas is just tick-tocking away
If she could talk, the stories she would tell at the end of the day

She was born early morn in April 1889
She shore been ticking a very long time

A few times the ticking stopped when a family member died 
I think I saw a tear falling from her face as we all cried

She ticked when little Seth was born
On that frosty Thanksgiving, Morn

She's ticked through many graduations 
Ticking right on through joyous occasions 

She's seen many wars and many parades
The marriage of several pretty young maids

Will she ever stop?  Only Father time will tell.
Only if her tired springs aren't wound so well.

Reflections 

Reflections are very mystical
Their glow becomes so spiritual

The light becomes so bright
It surely hampers our sight

Reflections soften the bright light
So that we may have a clear insight

Whether it be the physical sun in the sky
The Son of Our Heavenly Father on High

We thank you for the reflections that show the warmth of Your Love
The Holy reflections You send with your Love from above

Shine your Light

Shining  your light for Jesus
Do all you can do

Shine your light for Jesus
be all you can be

Shine your light for Jesus
be Holy unto thee

When your light grows dim
Focus on him
He will light you the way

When the impossible comes
Do not run away 
He will guide you through the perfect way

Sin and strife, I pray 
Will be gone forever someday

Keep your eyes and heart on Jesus
For he is the only way
Keep your eyes and heart on Jesus 
You will be so Happy at the end of the day

When tomorrow comes, and trouble swirls about you 
Keep your eye on Jesus
You will be so happy as you go along your way

When death looms over you, like dark clouds in the sky 
Keep your eye on Jesus; you will be happy when you die

There is no death for those who love Jesus
You will be happy every day

There is no death for those who love Jesus
He will carry you all the way

Spending eternity with Jesus
It is Beyond expression in any way. 

Spending eternity with Jesus 
sums up Love in every way

Spending eternity with Jesus
Is our Burning Desire today

Loving Jesus more and more is what we should pray

Contentment 

Are you content today
With everything, I would say

Are you content with your life
Do you have much strife

Is your soul content with God
Close to Him does your path trod

Have you found Jesus
Has He found you

Will you find contentment in what ever you do
Will you find contentment in what is within you

Contentment is much different for each of you
I pray you find contentment in whatever you go through

Motorcycle Ride 

Did you ever take a motorcycle ride through the scriptures
Letting the Lord Guide, viewing the countless Holy Pictures 

Feeling the Heavenly Breezes blowing through your hair
Riding closer to Him makes you even more aware

The ride is so smooth, staying on the narrow path
Keeping you away from any stress and much strife 

You will always remember your ride, the closer you get to home
Feeling your contentment, never again urging to roam

Your Walk 

Is your walk a normal walk? Does it match your talk?
Does your walk Honor Him? Oh God, don't let my light grow dim. 

Your walk should be different from the normal walk of life. 
Walk upright, stay on the straight path, to avoid much strife.  

At times the path will be rough. Stay on the strait and narrow.  
Always keeping Hope. He is watching over you like the sparrow.
