The best thing I can do today Be kind and gentle as I work and play Don't talk badly about anyone Not knowing what race they've won Give a lift-up if someone is down That will add a star to your crown Say Hey Neighbor to all you greet, lifting their spirits and being so sweet The best thing I can do, removing the smile from my pocket and sharing with you December 5, 2022 Mark Waldrop
Multistakin is an art strangely possessed by only a few. The few seemed to be richly blessed by what they could do. Often trying multitasking, only failing in what I do. Not being able to walk and chew gum at the same time without it sticking to my shoe. Well, what can I say? Bless those who can perform more than one task at at a time To me, it just seems like a doggone crime December 5, 2022 Mark Waldrop Suggested by my friends Brad & Cheryl VanAtta
I have wandered in my life Causing great family strife Wandering far away from home It would be better on my own Wandering away from the church That's when I began to search Not returning to the Church building Being cared for by God’s children Changing my heart and clearing my vision Wandering no more, Worshiping in every season December 5, 2022 Mark Waldrop
Climbing the mountain and reaching the summit, giving it all you've got. I exerted every ounce of energy, collapsing on the spot. Was it worth it? Was it not? Oh, the vast beauty I've seen in this holy spot. Few expend the energy to get where I got. It is well worth the effort to reach the very top. Sights I've never seen before that take my breath away, It gives me much more confidence in every which way Some stay down low; some scale the heights. Whatever your destiny, keep God in your sights.

Thank You, God, for everything you do Even when I'm not feeling you You watch over me even when I don't See you Caring and loving the day and night through You made everything in Heaven and on Earth. Thank you, God, for giving me birth December 4, 2022 Mark Waldrop
Thank you, God, for taking an ordinary event, turning it into something from heaven sent My life was most ordinary until I found you Accepting Your Son Jesus brought Love through and through The difference between night and day, I can't explain it away. Proclaiming your name in every way Since Jesus banished my sin away December 4, 2022 Mark Waldrop
Chunks are usually small, being of great worth to us all Worldly nuggets may be of gold, diamonds, or silver Many other things lurking in the river Spiritual nuggets may be wisdom, knowledge, or understanding Lurking in the Crystal River of God Illuring our understanding How do I mine such nuggets I can't touch The answer being I look in the Bible to uncover such The deeper I probe, the more nuggets I find Proving it to be a motherload gold mine The further I look, the larger they become There is no end to where they come from The more I learn, the less I know Thank God I continue to grow December 4, 2022 Mark Waldrop
Can anyone predict today what tomorrow will bring The answer is not a single thing Our Sovereign God above knows everything Sharing his knowledge is a very blessed thing Sharing knowledge about His Son arriving here on earth The reason being of His Great Worth God knows the future of tomorrow and every other day Walking close to Him, I may get a hint. I Pray Keeping my heart and eyes open He will not lead me astray. December 4, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Am I content with the worldly possessions given me Am I continually looking for more to make me feel free Contentment comes not from worldly possessions Contentment comes from the heart within, relieving me of my obsessions Only the Peace that comes when I whisper his name will relieve me of my shame Listening and following Jesus will surely ignite my internal flame Thank you, God, for the contentment you gave By sending Your Son Jesus, loosening the chains from the grave December 4, 2023 Mark Waldrop
I'm not the hateful man I used to be I am free from the sin that was in me I wish I had found this miracle long ago I couldn't seem to turn loose and let go Once I did, a new life came in Not understanding the love within Thank you, God, for being my Friend December 4, 2022 Mark Waldrop
