God’s grace, the surgeon

In the realm of grace, a surgeon divine,
God, with compassion, a love that entwines.
As a heart surgeon, skillful and true,
Cracks open your chest, pride it undo.

With hands that sculpt with heavenly art,
He extracts the poison that tainted your heart.
Pride and pain, the burdens you bear,
Replaced by His essence, a love beyond compare.

No demand to change before acceptance begins,
In the soul's surgery, forgiveness always wins.
He doesn't wait for you to cleanse and repent,
Acceptance first, then the cleansing is sent.

A love so profound, in grace it abounds,
Transforming your essence, where healing surrounds.
Not a judgmental gaze, but a merciful view,
God's grace, the surgeon, making all things new.

Christmas in Heaven

I can't imagine Christmas in Heaven
The size of that Christmas tree
The Ornaments sparkle, and the lights are the stars that we see

Jesus is Santa to all the kids gathered around
Magnificent  presents under the tree abound

Every Child receives the perfect gift beyond their dreams
The gift of Mercy and Love is the most popular, it seems

Angelic Christmas Carols being sung in the glistening snow
I hear O’little Town of Bethelem. I see their faces glow

No hustle and bustle at Christmas there
Majestic Golden Bells ring clear in the air

Christmas in Heaven lasts for an eternity
Thank You, God, for the hope of certainty

Santa in Heaven

As time marches on, everything comes to an end
Things that seem eternal here soon transcend 

The legend of Santa Clause and the love He brings
Moves into another realm where we hear children sing

His suit of Scarlet Red is now a suit of Pure Gold
For the Much Love he has given, he now holds

The fat Jolly Man in his red suit will remain in the hearts of children
Circling the earth, delivering Christmas Presents by the trillion

When time shall be no more and earth is complete
Santa and His Sleigh will fly through eternity delivering Presents of Love to The Little Children's feet

Hanukkah

In the glow of Hanukkah lights so bright,
A festival of joy, a sacred night.
Judaism's ideals, steadfast and true,
In each candle's flame, a story anew.

Blessed be the Ruler of the Universe's decree,
Commanding us to light, to set our spirits free.
Rededication's tale, the Second Temple's grace,
Igniting flames of faith in a sacred embrace.

Each candle's flicker, a symbol so divine,
Echoes of history in every shine.
Blessed are we, in the light's warm embrace,
A celebration of faith, a journey in grace.

Boston Tea Party

   British tea cast adrift

In sixteen seventy-three, in Boston's embrace,
A protest arose, a bold act took place.
Colonists, weary of taxation's cruel sting,
Against British rule, in defiance, they'd swing.

December's chill graced the Boston night,
A harbor scene painted in revolutionary light.
No representation, yet taxes so steep,
Fueled a rebellion, no longer asleep.

Three hundred forty-two chests in the sea,
British tea cast adrift, a powerful decree.
No submission to acts that unjustly bind,
The Boston Tea Party, a mark on the mind.

An echo resounded through history's halls,
A catalyst brewing for liberty's calls.
In the lead-up to revolution's solution,
This act stood strong, a fervent contribution.

Solemn words

On December 7, the winds of fate did blow,
A date engraved in history's somber glow.
Infamy struck, a nation held its breath,
President Roosevelt spoke, declaring death.

In solemn words, a nation stirred,
Echoes of war, a call to be heard.
Through the pain, courage would rise,
A nation united, with tear-filled eyes.

Roosevelt's voice, a beacon strong,
In the face of darkness, a resolve prolonged.
A date remembered, in history's decree,
December 7, 1941, echoes eternally.

Giving like Jesus

See our other high quality images:
Sacrificial giving is something we can't understand
It's giving all I have and then lending a helping hand

It's going beyond my means to help in every way
Then, taking time time to give my
Love and pray

Thank you, God, for giving Your Love to me
That I might share with others that they may see

Prayer

Hands of a man praying in solitude with his Bible.
Words seem pretty easy to say
Petitioning my  God every day

Things I need, things I see and want
Truly, are they desires of my heart

Thanking Him for Many Blessings
Do I take time to feel His refreshing 

Dear Lord, calm me that I might hear
Divine whispers that quieten my fear

In everything that I have said and done
I pray Your Will, and mine become one
