The past should teach me an invaluable lesson The memories of which I do not have to make a confession Not being ashamed of whence I came Being my transformation that I proudly claim My past is my heritage leaving my mark on earth This will genuinely tell a common man’s great worth Learning from my past and moving ahead Trying to make fewer mistakes before I'm dead January 27, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Do you see a lonely beggar on the street He is not there of his own accord Being unable to control the cards dealt to him, he sees no reward I passed him by with a sorrowful sigh Not willing to give him a helping hand I have a feeling of great remorse. I do not understand Now Jesus is in my heart; he has opened my eyes to see The blessing of helping others brings a great blessing to me God’s joy I feel within can't be explained Not being given from above to be contained Being the hands and feet of Jesus while here on earth No possible way to explain this incredible worth Thank you, God, Thank you, God, for forgiving me Eternal life and forever setting me free January 26, 2023 Mark Waldrop

Peter Cotton Tail was much less commercial back in my day There were no plastic eggs. Just children wanting to play. All dressing in our Sunday Best Going to our church being overly blest The Easter Egg hunt was in the afternoon. Searching for the eggs was over way too soon The Easter meal was a sight to behold Ham with all the trimmings never served cold Back to church again that night. Worshiping God with all our might Thanking God in every way that His Son Jesus rose on the third day January 25, 2023 Mark Waldrop
I was shackled by time I was shackled by sin I was shackled from within Each day finding no way to win I was shackled by my friends No encouragement from my kin Then crying out, please God unshackle me An incredible peace came in I could not see I fell to my knees in great surprise Streams of tears flowing from my eyes Hearing of God and what he had done for others Years ago, I heard of Jesus from my Mother Never in a million years thought he would have time for me Now Praising and thanking Him every day on bended knee 2Ti 2:9 for which I am suffering even to the point of being shackled like a criminal. But God's word is not shackled. January 25, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Knowledge is from books on earth Wisdom is from God's Great Worth Both used for the love of God and man Bringing Majesty to His Great Plan Walking daily with my eyes on Him His Heavenly light never grows dim At the end of my race here on earth Feeling God’s love at Heaven's birth January 23, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Fear is of this world. It does not abide where God abounds If you have God in your heart, there can be no fear around Only when we take our eyes off Jesus can the devil possibly see us With the Love of God in us, the devil with us can have no fuss. The blood of Jesus covers our sins. The devil can find no door to enter in. Thank You, God, for sending your son That through Him, the race is won January 22, 2023 Mark Waldrop
When I die, what will my friends do? Not being very nice, they will have no one to call for money or advice I suspect out of sight, out of mind I hope they remember I was trying to be kind I don't think they will. They weren't interested in kindness at the time. They were more interested in working their way to a free dime. I hold no grudges, for I know not their heart Only God knows what it will take to fill their cart. January 22, 2023 Mark Waldrop
God is so good; I do not understand Living everlasting in the shadow of His hand He never leaves; he never leaves me alone From this world, my spirit will have flown I’m ready to meet my maker when I’m gone I will see His shining face at the break of Dawn Death will not stop me. I will forever keep serving Him God's brilliant shining light in me will never grow dim Thank you, God, for the forgiveness of sin That I might live forever from your love within January 22, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Time is so short love is so long Lord, help me to be very strong Growing older, the faster time flys Often bringing tears to my eyes If only seeing my mistakes at the time It would have been a more joyous climb Thanking God for Jesus saving my soul That through Heaven, with Him, I might stroll January 21, 2023 Mark Waldrop
