I am not very patient, I must say I lose my patience most every day The trying of my patience will increase my faith If I take the time to search for God's face Conversely, my patience will increase By finding and accepting God’s peace The answer to increasing both patience and faith Is turning everything over to God no matter my place March 21, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Laughter is good medicine for the soul, I’ve been told The resounding echos of laughter never get old When I’m laughing, I can’t hold a grudge With laughter coming from my soul, I cannot judge My pain goes away with laughter I hear It moves me to a faraway place where there is no fear The laughter of a child is the best medicine of all They are so pure and innocent With God's protection, they will never fall March 20, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Stormy weather is inevitable wherever I may go Being prepared calms me watching the storm clouds blow Spiritual storms are much the same As evil swirls around me, I need not fear the unknown For Jesus walks with me, and I will never be alone God is giving me peace that can not be explained Filling me up with His Love which I can not contain March 19, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Have I made promises I didn't keep Have I made promises to others that they did not reap Promises made, promises kept The joy of fulness I accept Promises made, promises unkept Finding myself distraught while I wept God has made a promise for every occasion It's up to me to discover them and accept all with much celebration March 19, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Do I enjoy being served? Do I enjoy serving?

Right or wrong becomes an intersection in my life Forcing me to choose the path of less strife The trail of wrong may seem more pleasant with less worldly strife The path of right may seem impossible without Jesus' Light I must be careful how I choose Wrong may seem right without Jesus' light March 19, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Escaping sometimes seems the right thing to do Transported to a different place where l don't feel so blue It seems temporary returning from where I started Only being discouraged, finding myself brokenhearted There is no escape from where I've been The answer lies in where I'm going and my feeling within Walking with God and having joy in my heart There is no reason to escape if I'm smart March 19, 2023 Mark Waldrop

When I look in the mirror, what do I see Is the person I know the person I want to be? The self-image I see is it what others see in me Is what I am today what I'm meant to be. Things change with time, and that surely includes me. It's left up to me what I surely should be. March 18, 2023 Mark Waldrop
All you can do is the best you can do If all I can do is the best I can do Can I ever do enough Striving all the time to do more and more There always seems to be more stuff Never able to reach perfection I always feel the pressure of rejection The answer for me is to continue to do the best I can Always looking ahead for a better plan March 18, 2023 Mark Waldrop
