Crimson Red

Crimson Red, the color of the blood flowing from my Savior's side.
His mother, in her broken heart, could feel her son had died.

As she wept, asking God why did this happen today? 
God whispered to Mary, He has not gone away.

She did not understand when the Angel first brought the news.
She only knew putting her Faith in God, she would choose.

Her son would not only return again
He could live in the soul of all men.

Mary in faith, taking God at His Word, Truly believing in her heart, all she had heard.

The piece that passeth all understanding calmed her fears.
The news of His resurrection wiped away her anguished tears.

God's plan unfolding, revealing the justification for her Sons birth
Mary bowed her head, thanking God for His Great Worth.

Happy New Year
To all those who Can Hear

Only Look For The Very Best
Discarding the Rest With Cheer

With GOD Ahead of Me
And JESUS By My Side
There’s Nothing I Can’t Do or Decide

In Good Times, I Will Rejoice
In Hard Times, I Will Pray 
In All Other Times, I Will Remember 
To Do The Very Best, I Can Today 

When Time Comes to an End For Me
I Will Gladly Say
Thank You, GOD, for walking with me all the way.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas 
The spirit of Love is in the air

Sleigh bells jingle in the snow
Just listen; your heart will begin to glow

All of us kids get so excited; I can hardly wait 
The arrival of Santa, oh, I hope he isn’t late

Santa’s Love began in Bethlehem
Many years ago
With the Birth of God’s Son, Heavenly Love began to flow

Love conceived in many ways
Through God's son, we offer Praise 

We bow our hearts and proclaim
Thank you, God, in Jesus' name

Christmas is for Children

Christmas is for children; That's always been the case. 
Oh, how I can remember it made my tiny heart race? 

The giving of gifts, the excellent food 
How I remember the warm, loving mood

The Love of Jesus shines brighter than the Star of Bethlehem atop my Christmas Tree. 
The real meaning of Christmas is the Christ that lives in me.

He never died. He never lied. 
Spanning the sands of time
He holds me in his arms 
The many times I cry

He is Love beyond Love
Hope beyond Hope
I trust Him with my Heart and Soul
I trust his Devine Love that makes me whole

Thank you God Thank you God
For making me that I might worship thee

Thank you God for caring enough 
To set me free

Hi Al, we all love you
Praying God gives you the strength to see you through

Whenever we see you on TV, we know your true
Theirs certainly nothing fake about you

Just a note to say we care
Always being in our prayer

The Love for your family shows 
Never doubt a minute; God knows

Our Best Wishes this Christmas Season
God continually working through you is the reason

We the People

We, the People, assemble at Christmas. 
Setting our differences aside.
We calm our spirits from the bustling world, removing our haughty Pride.

Peace arriving at this mystical time of year 
brings much Love and Joy with great cheer.

Taking a moment to bow our heads, asking for Peace on Earth and Good Will toward men.
Knowing beyond all Hope, this Love will be fulfilled over and over again.

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
