PRAYER
There is a way to talk to the Father, through His son Jesus Christ.
There is no number to memorize, no fee or set price.
Just open your heart and be sincere in what you want to say,
you can talk for how long you want there is no special time of day.
MCI, US Sprint, nor AT&T can offer you service there,
for all you need is a repented heart and the words for your prayer.
No call waiting to interrupt the line,
for He is omniscient and can take all calls at the same time.
Some prayers can be answered upon request, some take a day or two,
but be long-suffering, patient, and kind and He'll guide you in what to do.
Don't just call and ask for things, just talk to Him as a friend,
for He did give His only son, and His life he did rend.
The key to a good relationship is the art of communication, is your
relationship with God slacking for lack of communication?
Is your line disconnected? Maybe you need to pay your bill, by asking for
forgiveness and submitting to His will.
So take advantage of this free long-distance offer and keep the line open,
for when the time of Jacob's trouble comes the line will be broken.
HEAVEN IS MY HOME
No more mortgage, no more rent
no more money to be spent.
No more bill collector's calling me
for my new home is all rent free.
A townhouse, apartment, or split level three,
my new home, a mansion, is promised to me.
No traffic, no buses, trains, planes, or cars,
my wings will be sufficient to carry me near or far.
No shopping malls, no grocery stores for me to stand in line,
for all my needs will be supplied, for what is God's will be mine.
Full of peace and a stress free life,
no more bickering, arguing, and complaining a world full of strife.
For Heaven is my home, no more earthly sorrow,
if we live His way today, I'll see you there tomorrow.
THANK YOU LORD
Thank you Lord for saving me
When you died on Calvary's tree.
Thank you for salvation,
For without grace O' Lord
Where would I be!
Thank you Lord for creating me
Aand the color of my skin.
Thank you for the Holy Ghost
Who dwells deep within.
Thank you Lord for life everlasting,
Our hope and strength to finish this race.
For without your love, grace, and mercy
My trials I could not face.
Thank you Lord for the truth in your word
Which is inscripted on my heart;
To know this Advent message,
Though persecution I will not part.
Thank you Lord for choosing me
From many seeds in my mother's womb;
For some souls take their life
As they live in misery, drear, and gloom.
Thank you Lord for your soon return,
The great day awaiting of promises past;
To finish this race, to be free of sin
And go home with you at last.
NEW YEARS
It is a time of reflection. To look back and reflect on how good God has
been. To take the time to say, "Thank you Lord," for the victories we did win.
For the blessings we received were obtained only through the love and mercy
God has shown to us. To know that nothing was of our own doing, to fully know
in God in whom we trust.
There were adversities, calamities, heartache, pains and loses; along with
good times, happy times, praises and rejoicing. For each year brings us
closer to the soon return of our Savior and king.
Many new year's resolutions are made. How we are going to do this and going
to do that. We need to give it over to Jesus and trust in divine authority,
in time He'll work it out. For all the prayers He answers this year will be
worth all the praises and shouts.
Remember each one reach one and tell of His wonderful story. So when all is
said and done and life here is no more and the Archangel, Michael, returns we
can go home with Him to Glory.
This is my prayer for me and you to keep this in mind.
That through God's grace and mercy I'll see you in 1999.
Love Always,
Dione(Dee)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
