In the Arms 

Being in the arms of a loved one is the most restful place to be. 
I feel so secure and safe knowing they care for me. 

Our loved ones only last a short while here on earth.
While we humbly go on living to show our worth

For teaching us about GOD and HIS SON JESUS 
HIS eternal Love will never never leave us. 

Being safe in the arms of JESUS on earth or in Heaven above. 
Is worth far far more than anyone's earthly love.

Just keep on keeping on 

When you feel down and out. Just keep on keeping on. 
When you are discouraged and have doubt, just keep on keeping on

When things look better and you see light at the end of the tunnel, just keep on keeping on
When you are at the top of the mountain, just keep on keeping on

From the start to the very end, just keep on keeping on
That's the way life is planned my friend, just keep on keeping on

Smiling Faces and Beautiful Places

South Carolina, the most beautiful state I have ever seen,
Yellow Jasmine, Palmetto Palms, the landscape a luscious green

The sea caps of the ocean that caress our shore
Wonderful aromas, from the sea,
I adore 

Our state is vibrant and has a strong heartbeat of love,
Growing so fast with blessings from above.

South Carolina welcomes all, to find their niche within,
Having fun and fellowship with family and friends 

Smiling faces and beautiful places describe the soul of our state. 
As often said, “Nothing could be finer than to live in South Carolina”.

Man in the Mirror 

Who do you see when you look in the mirror 
Does the mirror seem foggy, could it be clearer

Is there a person standing there that you know
Does that person seem distant to your soul

How does one make the image crystal clear
Within me, the answer is so very near

A crystal clear image will produce a clear reflection
Only GOD can rid us, of our imperfection

Inspired by Scott Van Tonningen K3VAN, Bible Fellowship Net

Are you Listening 

What might you be listening for? Is it something that concerns you?
Is it what you have been waiting for to help get you through?

Most often we wait too late to listen, throwing us into a state of confusion. 
If we had just taken the time to heed, 
we would have avoided this illusion 

Much strife and misunderstanding could be readily avoided.
If we would only take time to listen to those that are anointed.

His Touch 

His Touch is beyond our imitation being seen and felt
At the Foot of the Cross of Jesus, where we once knelt

Whatever we need, can only be found, by the gentle Touch of the Master's Hand
With the completeness to fulfill our every desire, we will come to understand

His touch only comes as our journey leads us closer to Him
Touching the hem of His garment, everlasting love comes flowing in

Melting Moments 

As the fleeting  moments pass us by
the older we get the faster they fly. 

Some memories of yesterday seem so far away. 
Others are as if they happened just today. 

Difference between the two I'm not so sure. 
It has to do with the pleasant memories, that are so pure. 

The melting of pleasing moments in our minds. 
Bring calming peace with the marching of Father Time.
