This poem was printed on the back of our monthly church calendar. Are you like me, feeling at times, inadequate to serve other? Or do you feel discouraged that through age or health that you can’t serve others or even accomplish the daily tasks as you once did? Take heart, God has a plan for you to serve. Share love, be an encourager!

Why do we seem drawn to certain people?
Isn’t it difficult to explain?
The chemistry is different-
but the bonding is the same.
We are God’s creation-
I know He had a plan..
With His Holy Spirit
He relates Himself to man.
He guides us in a mysterious way-
He truly knows what’s best.
Sometimes we blunder through and wonder,
“Lord, is this a test?”
God truly wants the best for us-
The battle has already been won.
All the Lord is endeavoring to do
Is conform us to the image of His Son.
When we meet a fellow Christian,
There is a meeting of the heart.
There is an immediate “bonding”-
A fellowship set apart.
If you have yet to meet our Savior-
Don’t waste another minute
Open up your heart to Him
and ask Him to come in it!
P.S. In your Golden Chain of Friendship,
Will you please count me a link?

Sometimes I need a reminder
of just how blessed I am-
Especially when my heart is troubled,
as though I had failed an exam.
Perhaps it is age-related-
My arthritis is here to stay.
I sincerely try to ignore it-
but it refuses to go away!
I was on my way to go shopping
when it began to rain.
The car ahead bore a message on its tag-
“Too Blessed to Complain”.
When I reflected on My blessings,
my pains began to subside.
“Dear Lord, You are our healing physician-
In YOU I want to abide.
You provide all of our needs,
according to Your riches in Glory-
As I reflect on Your mercy and grace,
I am humbled to tell Your story.
P.S. We don’t need more to be thankful for-
We just need to be more thankful.
Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
After breakfast with friends, we decided to visit one of the nearby waterfalls. The temperature was in the 20s and I was hoping the falls would be covered in ice. They weren’t covered but the falls were beautiful. Being surrounded by the beauty God created soothes me. Why, my soul, are you downcast Why so […]
I have often admired the way this church nestles amid the Fall color. It is located in Sky Valley, Georgia. I took this photo in October while spending time with visiting family. Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Psalm 29:2 nkj
