Life is a journey

Life is a journey to eternity
I have had many ups and downs
When this journey comes to an end
There will be many crowns

At times I could not see what was ahead of me
Keeping my eye on Jesus lit my path and set me free

Thank you Jesus for walking close with me
That at the end your heavenly face I will see

Why you chose me I do not understand
Give me the desire to spread Your Love throughout the land

Feelings

Is there more to the Bible? I must say
then Christ dying, giving His life away

This is pretty serious stuff, I must say
I would not  die for anyone today

What kind of Love would it take to do this
The Love of God that gives a sweet kiss

Is this Love far away in heaven, sitting on a throne
It's in the smile of my loved ones, never being alone

The warm feeling I get when a child is born holding a grandchild on a chilly morn
This warm feeling is called love not being of this world; it is from God above

God left His instructions in the book of truth
It would behoove me to read it for my soul to soothe

Reunion

Reunions are a time of renewal of old friendships
Old friends from High School even renewing family relationships

I always hated to go
No one looks the same as they did years ago

Constantly feeling self-conscience about my weight or dress
Worried that I would end up feeling depressed

After attending, it made little difference 
Everyone has changed, just like me
Time had taken its toll on everyone that I could see

Friendships are more important than looks or clothes
To my surprise, no one snubbed their nose

Babies

Babies are bundles sent from heaven
Individually picked by God and divinely given

They smell so fresh, with skin so soft
Dedicating them to God, lifting them aloft

Always caring and sharing their precious moments
Parading them in front of family and friends to notice

I thank God on bended knee
For the little ones, He has sent me

Spring

wild flower mix an atraction to many bees
Spring is such a wonderful time of year
A moment to me that is so very dear

As all of God's creation comes alive
Everything He made begins to thrive 

The birds sing the wildflowers bloom
Each bud infuses its faint perfume

Bees dance from blossom to blossom
all our woes and cares are forgotten

The fragrance of spring rains and new-mown hay
It brings fond memories of an earlier day

Refreshing my spirit with a new spring in my step 
I bow my head, thanking God for His continual help

Zec 10:1  Ask rain from the LORD in the season of the spring rain, from the LORD who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain, to everyone the vegetation in the field.

God knows

God knows everything, for He is omnipotent
Being overjoyed that He is so significant 

The closer I walk with Him, the more I 
understand
Walking beside him through life hand in hand

When this life is over never more to roam
He will gently guide me to His distant Throne

The race having been won, all is well
Living with Him in eternity forever to dwell

I know He’s real

I know My God is real. He has made me whole
I cannot thank Him enough for touching my soul

He's so real that I can feel His Love deep within
Through His Grace and Love, He has removed all sin

When He sent His Son Jesus to die for me
I can never thank Him enough for setting me free 

I pray to pass His love to others so that they may see
Accepting His Son Jesus, we will live forever in eternity

Memories

As long as I have memories, yesterday will never fade
As long as I have hope, I will never forget by whom I am made 

As long as I have Love in my heart
From Him, I will never depart 

Walking close to God in every situation
Brings contentment and great satisfaction 

When situations in life seem impossible
God walking with me, everything is possible 

Thank you, God, for making me
 So that Your Love others may see

The Journey

The journey indicates a period from the beginning to end
Hopefully, being able to travel with a very close friend

Traveling with someone you love and know
It makes time fly by much faster as you go

There are many journeys to travel in this life; we know
Some will be happy ones some will cause many woes 

On the final journey, we travel when our life is gone
There is only one friend that can travel on

The best friend we’ll have in this life and beyond 
Is God's Son Jesus, with whom we will form an eternal bond
