We Love you, Al

Hi Al, we all love you
Praying God gives you the strength to see you through

Whenever we see you on TV, we know your true
Theirs certainly nothing fake about you

Just a note to say we care
Always being in our prayer

The Love for your family shows 
Never doubt a minute; God knows

Our Best Wishes this Christmas Season
God continually working through you is the reason

Salvation

Redemption is God's love flowing from within
Thank you Jesus, for loving me enough to come in

Any earthly words will not explain the Joy I feel. 
The smile on my face will only show what has become real

Thanking God for waiting for me to turn to Him
Otherwise, the outcome would have been so dim

Thank you, God, for your plan for me since the beginning of time
Thank you for the strength you've given me on this hill to climb

I praise your Holy Name no matter what my position 
Praying others will see You in me in any situation

He Turned Me Around

Praise God He reached down and turned me around
Thank God I was saved and lifted off the ground

Thank God, Thank God I'm free from this world of sin
Thank God His only son Jesus came to live within

Think God; I'm free. I'm free from the chains of this world of sin
He removed these old shackles so a new life I might begin

I can't thank him enough or pray long enough to thank Him for what He’s done for me

I pray I can share His Great Love again and again 
Oh Lord, show me the way each day how to become a loving friend

Keep the Faith

I keep the Faith no matter what comes my way
Man can plunder my belongings; Man can't take my soul away

I live in Joy no matter what comes today
I have a much greater possession. Man
can’t remove away

I have confidence that I stand firm
That I might have the endurance to do the Will of God

Striving every day to follow his commandments 
Oh Lord, please spare me the rod

Jesus came to save, not to condemn
Bowing my heart, thanking Him again and again

Hebrews 10 34-36

Heb 10:34  For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.
Heb 10:35  Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
Heb 10:36  For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.

Oh Death

Oh, death, where is your victory
Oh, death, where is your sting
Jesus Christ removed them so that I might sing

He took the burden of all my sins
And cast them in the deepest sea
Setting me forever eternally free

What above heaven and earth could save me from my sins
The incredible power of God where His mighty love begins

Why do I have Joy in any circumstance today 
Because God's Son Jesus came into my heart to stay

I bow my head on bended knee
Continually thanking Him for being so gracious to me

1 Corinthians 55-56

55 
“Where, O death, is your victory?    Where, O death, is your sting?”[b]
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ

Berkeley Ford

My visit to Berkeley Ford was a most pleasant experience
Everyone I met had great confidence 

From sales to service
No one there made me nervous

The greeting on the phone was most unexpected. 
A greeting with It's a Wonderful Day is rarely detected 

I would recommend anyone looking for a Ford Dealership 
 You only need to make one trip

Upon leaving the dealership today
Cassidy, Kerrie, and Darcy were helpful in every way

Praying

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood, Tennessee
He left me for another today
Taking part of my heart away

I'm not religious. I have nowhere to turn
I'm just praying somehow; he will See a way to return

If this is not possible, oh God, mend my broken heart
Could you help me in someway to find a new start
