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.

Annie and Sarah are two of the nicest people you would ever want to meet.
They take care of you at Dr. Edward Mea’s office, they are so sweet.
Even when you don't arrive on time,
they don't act like you've committed a crime.
I know they are very busy and have much to do.
They always take their time when helping you.
I'm not saying they are angels in any way.
They seem to fit the description I would say.
Both of their names are so easy for me to remember.
Annie Sarah was my Mother's name
She was so sweet and tender.

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.

Somewhere in time, God created the universe.
Somewhere in time, Adam and Eve brought in a curse.
God saw that sinful man was doomed from the start.
He put into motion, Jesus, saving our sinful heart.
One day, time stopped, when God's Son's earthly life, came to an end.
When He arose Victorious from the grave, He had conquered all sin.
He is waiting to bring God's Love into our hearts.
It has always been in God's plan from the very start.
All being God's children, we can't
imagine how He Loves us so.
Eternal life, we will have, if we ask His Son Jesus to save our soul.
The Power of His everlasting Love conquers all.
In good times and bad, He will never let us fall.
Not having to die, to have eternal life here on earth.
Eternal life starts In the heart with our divine soul's rebirth.
The Love and Joy, that is sent from Heaven above.
Can only flow from God’s Throne of Everlasting Love.

After assembling a puzzle, standing
amazed at the picture I see,
If misplaced pieces, a beautiful picture there would not be.
Assembling a puzzle, forcing pieces where they do not belong.
As the puzzle came together, realizing that piece was wrong.
Our lives are similar. Not having all the pieces in their place.
I can't begin to imagine the
puzzle reflecting God’s Grace
At times I try to force a piece where it shouldn't be.
This brings much confusion, for a complete picture I cannot see.
Once the puzzle of my life is made complete
I will see the Shining Face of Jesus as I kneel at His feet.

Some feel a Divine Calling from God.
Many find themselves serving abroad.
Receiving the best education, to prepare for the task
feeling comfortable, answering any questions they may be asked.
All the worldly tools they have under their belt,
planning a budget or preparing a sermon that will be heart felt.
Going out to perform the Great Commission,
Often forgetting to stop and ask God’s permission.
Finding, His desire for their life
certainly brings much less strife.
The most valuable tools, Stop, Pray, and Listen.
Using these, everything done for God will Glisten.

What kind of antenna should I choose?
If the price is right, not one, would I refuse?
Maybe a Dipole, Beam, or a Magnetic Loop
put some fire in the wire and QSO the whole group.
Location and space would be two choices that would greatly matter.
The more money you can invest, I suppose would be for the better.
Invest as much money in your antenna as in your rig.
Your fellow hams will always give you an S-Signal that is quite big.
I’m grateful no antenna is required,
to connect with Jesus and his love.
There is no cost to bow our head on bended knee,
having a QSO with our savior above.
