Back view of young beautiful woman sunbathe and relax on tropical beach with copy space. Summer vacation concept
Unlike the Pirates of Old in search of the treasure of gold
I sit on the sandy beach reminiscing the stories I've been told
Remembering in my mind the Grandparents I had never met
Only the description of their kindness their faces I will now never forget
The good times over the many years
Jesus walking with me through the tears
The Happy times far outweigh the bad
God's plan to keep me from being sad
Treasures too many to collect in one day
I shall return to my abode and continue to pray
As I stand to retreat from the sand
In God's Sunset, I can feel his hand
Giving me Hope to return another day
To continue treasure hunting by the bay

Have you ever had a meltdown hurling angry words erupting strong feelings?
Revealing emotions so strong there is no possible way of earthly healing.
A word flung in anger can never return.
Hitting its mark, you can hear the sizzle and burn.
Count to ten. Be careful what you say.
You never know who is packing today.

Why do you do what you don't want to do
If you have the answer God Bless you
We know what we should do our conscience tells us so
The reason being our conscience is connected to our soul
You may think no one sees you behind that dark door
Not realizing your conscience is always with you evermore
You can't run from yourself that can never be
Look in the mirror and face up to what you see
If your soul is longing for something it has not today
Bow your head and ask God to show you the way

If your searching you haven't found it
When you find it your life will show it
Always be in search of what you can't find
Never give up searching in your own mind
There are many things to search for there are many hills to climb
Never giving up will only give you peace of mind
The more you search the more you will find
In the end, you will find searching is
what made you kind

My life seems to be made up of a series of fates.
Intermingled in between a series of waits
Making little sense of life at the time
Looking back I see the ladder I began to climb
Wisdom comes with age if I allow it to
There is no fate at all only God guiding me through

What kind of attitude do I have
is it one that causes me to misbehave
Is it one that shows discontent or one that I will be content with to the grave
Attitude is the secret to a happy and peaceful life
If I show gratitude to all I will have much less strife
Being grateful whether I have little or plenty
Will surely keep my life from being empty
Thank you, God, for the many blessings you have bestowed on me
That I may forever have an Attitude of Gratitude for others to see

In the beginning, there was nothing at all
Then God spoke His existence to all
First He created the Heavens and earth
Not yet finished He will give it much greater worth
God said there will be light it was so beautiful and bright
It was so good He separated the darkness from the bright light
God called the light day and the darkness night
Then came the morning of the first day followed by the evening of the first night
God created the sky to separate the water from below and above
He called the cavern of separation the beautiful sky of love
God called the dry ground land and the gathered water sea
He made vegetation and animals for you and me
God said let there be lights in the sky
That we may walk with an attentive eye
That we may not lose our way, stumble least no one hear our cry
God made man rule over His creation
Man governed with love and little frustration
God seeing man was very lonely
He created a helpmate
Man not realizing the helpmate he made would seal their fate
However, God's Love would continue through the sin that came in
The Love Between Man and Woman
continually grows as God becomes their Friend
God's walk with man created the scripture we have today
That gives us the do’s and don't’s
To follow along the way
God sent His only son Jesus to show His Love and save us from sin
The only requirement, bowing our heads and believing in him

There ain't no thermostat in hell
You have to keep swettin I do tell
If ide been better ida gone to that cooler place
Well it's too late for me I've done run the race
I have no choice now but only to tell
Don't come here it's hotter than hell

Rear view of student guy standing at sea and spreading hands. Back of young man in casual posing outdoors. Euphoria or joy concept
I don't want the power to change the world for the world will change itself
I wish for the power to have Jesus shine through me as I humble myself
Spreading The Good News of God's Son who came to save us from sin
Only through this task of Love will, I have Peace and Happiness within
Spreading the Gospel as I go along my way will bring His sheep to the fold
Not wanting even one to stray He will give me power untold
It's not for me to decide the fate of my fellow man
I know not what's hidden in his heart only God understands
I pray God will draw them near whether through Love or Fear
That they will find Jesus before the end is near

Do I have a date of expiration
According to the Good Book, I do
Not like the food we purchase we're not stamped with a date that's due
I should live every minute to get the fullest use of my life
Not knowing my future fate could bring much strife
If I trust my Maker who created me in the beginning
He knows the exact time when my life will be ending
Peace with Him will make my life whole
Bringing complete commitment to my soul
