What do I choose to remember from long ago
Do the memories anchor my faith or toss me to and fro
It is my decision what I chose to bring from the past
It is to my gain To leave the heavy baggage and remember Love that will last
God has cast our sins as far as the East from the West
It will benefit me to remember the Good that I will be truly Blest
1Th 3:6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.

In the month of June, when days grow long and bright,
Schools release their children to summer's delight.
With backpacks left behind and laughter in the air,
They venture into freedom, without a single care.
The solstice arrives, with the sun at its peak,
Illuminating the world with radiance unique.
The longest day of the year, with daylight in excess,
Nature revels in the glow, nature is truly blessed.
June, the midpoint of the growing season's dance,
Between planting and harvesting, a moment's chance.
The earth awakens, flowers bloom in a vibrant array,
As nature's symphony unfolds, a glorious display.
Father's Day embraces the love that we hold,
A day to honor fathers, wise and bold.
Their guiding hands and steadfast care,
Nurturing our dreams, always there to share.
Juneteenth, a beacon of freedom and light,
A celebration of liberation, a resolute fight.
A reminder of the struggles endured in the past,
And the resilience that carries us forward steadfast.
Amidst this canvas of wonders, the Strawberry Moon gleams,
Casting its ethereal glow upon land and streams.
Named after the sweet fruit, the harvest soon to come,
A symbol of abundance, a joy for everyone.
So let us rejoice in June's embrace,
Embracing the moments, finding solace and grace.
For this month of beginnings and abundant cheer,
We celebrate the beauty that makes life so dear.

Faith plus action equals Loving Deeds
Faith without action is dead if you please
Faith alone will not get you close to home
Faith with action will move you right along
From the beginning to the end
Faith plus God's Love will ascend
Faith without action is like the Sun without light
Faith in God's Love shines so very bright
When God touched me I received His Love with deeds to no end
Bowing my head I can't thank Him enough for being my friend
God's Love is meant to be passed on through His Son Jesus
By this action, of righteousness,
He becomes so precious
His Love cannot be explained
Only felt from the depths of my pain
Thank You, God, for your saving Grace
That was only attainable by your Son Jesus taking my place
Jas 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

What path do I find myself on today
Is it a path of righteousness or a path of decay
How do I change my path I must say
It falls my decision to change my path today
Does the path I’m on bring instant pleasure
Does my path bring happiness unmeasured
Looking ahead where will my path lead
At the end of my life will I start to plead
At the end of my life have I built a Hope for Eternity
Or have I joined the devil's fraternity
There is a fork in the road Heaven or Hell
The decisions I make will determine for eternity I will dwell
Jesus is the way the truth and the life
Putting your trust in Him He will walk with you and guide you through all strife
Joh 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

It’s not easy remembering the good times
For in my heart the toll of love chimes
When my loved one leaves I must continue on
I can’t look back or tarry too long
It’s most advantageous to move slowly I must say
Filling the void in my heart, it takes time to pray
My soul is seeking the love that has vanished
It’s most appropriate that I feel some anguish
I’m never to forget the love I cherished
focusing on the past I will surely perish
Moving ahead finding new ways to love
Will surely fill my soul making me whole
I bow my head every day Thanking God for the Love He keeps sending my way

Faith is the Key that opens the door
To a world of Love and so much more
Love Beyond my understanding I can't explain
I can only receive it and pass it on again and again
Faith in God through His Son Jesus Christ
Will bring his best to you in your life
Whether your life here on this earth
Whether your life since your Spiritual rebirth
Life here or life hereafter is yours for the asking
Be sure to do the asking before your passing
Rev 3:7 "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.

We're little Gators our Mama giving us a ride
We're too little to get off and try to hide
She says one day we will be big enough to be on our own
Like any kid, we can't wait for that to come along
Until then we're as happy as can be
Just waiting for our Mama to set us free

Having Faith in God I will whistle while I work
Joy overflowing coming from within my heart
Having met my Savior on that dusty road one day
I can't help but follow him all along the way
Thank you, God, for sending Your Son Jesus
That knowing Him He will never leave us.
