Jesus Was Born

It was a moonlight night in Bethlehem
In a manger there, a baby boy was born
This Son of God was entering the world
To face His life of rejection and of scorn

For there were many who would fear Him
While others mocked this Son of our God
So many would call Him an eccentric fool
They hated the ground where He had trod

As a man who lived on this earth one time
He faced many perils each and every day
Judas a disciple, who turned against Jesus
Selling Him out, a few gold coins was his pay

He hung on a cross on that Mount Calvary
Shedding His blood to save us all from sin
This Son of God born in a manger that night
Love Him, let your journey to Heaven begin

A Hallelujah Shout

Tear down the walls of ignornance
Because our dear Savior still lives
He shed His blood for all our sins
Showing this love for us He gives

Go tell it to everyone that will listen
There is a far better place we can go
A land of eternal blessings He gives
To go there our Lord you must know

Ask and He will make you a promise
He will lead you every step of the way
Obey and believe what He tells you
Heaven will be your home some day

Lets wake up all of the non believers
Show then what Heaven is all about
Let them know about that eternal life
Hear them give out a hallelujah shout

Our 31st Anniversary

Time has passed on so very swiftly
Since that day when we were wed
On that cold Saturday in December
Those sacred vows were then said

It's thirty one years since that day
When God united you and I as one
I bless that day and I always shall
Days of being alone were then done

My love for you has grown with time
No one could be in my heart but you
Each day I tell myself that I am lucky
Our marriage is equaled by only a few

Until that day we will go up to Heaven
To walk on that golden shore of sand
My love for you shall never ever waiver
I know this is the way God had it planned

Our Thanksgiving Dinner

Only a skeleton of the turkey remains
Of what was a great scrumptious dinner
With dressing, mashed potatos, and fixings
Janet's cooking produced us another winner

Before the corn, green beans and cranberries
With the turkey, gravy and the great dressing
We all gathered around the old dinner table
It was then that Harry said the great blessing

We sat down to the table with empty feelings
Then we filled up our plates to overflowing
With all the extra helpings I put on my plate
I must have thought I was a boy still growing

Getting up from that table became a big chore
I had eaten so much more than I had thought
Sitting down to watch the pro football game
Relief from this filled up stomach I sought

No Other Way

So many friends have passed on now
To that home that is far away in the sky
Transformed to a life that is now eternal
On this Earth their mortal life had to die

They are now in the arms of our Savior
Ever happy they will feel pain no more
Faithful while living in this sinful world
Believing in Him opened Heaven's door

To join them my heart must be faithful
I too must believe in God and His word
When I enter His Kingdom up in Heaven
I will hear the best greeting ever heard

Those friends will all come to greet me
To welcome me home on that great day
There I will hear their shouts of elation
I believe in God, there is no other way

I Thank Him

So many thanks I owe my precious lord
First of all I thank Him for my lovely wife
I thank Him for taking from me my sins
For allowing me to have a Christian life

I thank Him for the friends I have made
Many kind people He has let me meet
For all of this love He has given to me
Knowing His sweet love can't be beat

He has given a church where I worship
A fine Pastor who has spread His word
A great choir with their voice's blending
Singing Hymns, sweetest I ever heard

So many things I do now thank Him for
Thanksgiving comes to us once a year
But daily I thank the Lord up in Heaven
For all 78 years I have spent down here

Your Home With Him

Wont you meet me up in God's Heaven
All of our friends will be gathering there
There to be with God's Eternal Blessing
Where we will have no fear or any care

Jesus has a great plan for our salvation
He gave up His life to erase all our sin
He is the way and the light that leads us
Believing in Him is the only way to begin

Follow the path He has planned for you
Don't stray, but walk on that perfect line
He will guide you through the hardships
Always look to Him He will show the sign

His love for you is like no other feeling
You know that you will be Heaven bound
When you see Him He will show a smile
Your home with Him you have now found

copyright © 2009 By Acie

We Give Him Thanks

After all of our crops are harvested
It is time to give thanks to our Lord
A feast ln His honor will be in order
A blessing, after the coffee is poured

We will thank Him for the great crops
He gave us weather for the food to grow
Never was it too wet nor was it too dry
Food to get us through the Winters snow

Thank Him for Hams and slabs of Bacon
Hanging out in the smokehouse left to cure
He certainly has Blessed us this whole year
For all of this we give thanks to our Savior

With the food now blessed, it is time to eat
Mashed potatos, Gravy and roasted Turkey
Fresh Pumpkin pies with lots of whipped cream
Thoughts of staying on my diet has gone astray

Stand Up For Freedom

From England they sailed the seas in 1620
Pilgrims , seeking a home to worship God
Sailing away from the place they were born
They then found that place on American sod

Building a country upon Christian principals
This country survived with many brave men
Fighting the British rule and the unfair taxes
The United States of America then did begin

They fought two wars to gain their freedom
So many wars they have fought to stay free
However now a small amount of its people
Would take that freedom from you and me

America, stand up for your rights and be free
Go back to the standards our forefathers had
Worship our creator and obey all of the laws
If we don't "God Bless America" was only a fad

Our Fallen

Had I have been at Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans day these would be the words I would have said.

With heartfelt thanks we now honor them
These great men and women who lie here
Each has given their life for our freedom
Now they are in our Savior's eternal care

Called to fight for the country they loved
They have given up their life here on Earth
Knowing that they could have stayed home
But if they did what would their life be worth

Not one of these brave souls wanted to die
To protect their families they went to war
Heartaches are felt by the many here today
Knowing on Earth we will see them no more

But take heart my dear friends and relatives
They are waiting in Heaven to see you one day
Be guided by God who is in His Heavenly home
Tell Him you love them tonight when you pray

Gates Of Heaven

Some day when we meet up yonder
We will walk along that Golden strand
There we will see our Lord and Savior
To live forever in God's most Holy land

My heart fills with love thinking of Him
For it is through Him I shall eternally live
He gave us all a way to meet His Father
When on that cross His life He did give

To follow in His footsteps is impossible
For He was the only perfect man on Earth
Try to reach as much perfection as you can
Then a home in Heaven shall be your worth

God loves His children this we should know
He gave up His only son to save us from sin
It is through knowing and believing in Jesus
Those gates of Heaven will open and let us in

A Special Prayer

A Special Prayer

With the growing season now over
Our storing chores are nearly done
After canning fruits and vegetables
There are lots of meats to be frozen

Thanksgiving is coming very soon
It's the start of the holiday season
We have a tom turkey in the fridge
Lots of company will be the reason

When we all gather around the table
A prayer of Thanksgiving will be said
We will thank the lord for all this food
Then it will be time to break the bread

A special prayer for all the homeless
Should be said on Thanksgiving day
But for the Grace of our God almighty
We might be the ones that are that way

God's Mighty Hand

God's Mighty Hand

In the misty morning as the Sun slowly rises
Wispy spirals of fog cling to the damp ground
A farmer casts a eager eye up toward Heaven
He knows days of dry weather must be found

In a short eight months the mortgage is due
Long days he has put in working on this farm
He knows that if there are no crops this year
Thoughts of losing his home is cause for alarm

He knows the bank has not had a good year
Extending his loan seem to be mighty bleak
Knowing the weather must help him out now
Else another line of work he will have to seek

Again he cast his eyes up to the Heavenly sky
But this time he has a long prayer with God
Lord, he says in a somewhat awkward manner
Please give us weather to dry out this wet sod

It was then God blessed this believing farmer
A bountiful crop brought money to pay off the land
He then prepared a large feast of Thanksgiving
Knowing he had been guided by God's mighty hand

God's Unyeilding Love

God's Unyeilding Love

If your days be either dark or gloomy
He can make it be cheery and bright
You can call on your blessed Savior
He is with you all days and at night

If you will listen to His great promise
Of an eternal home high up in the sky
Be sure you follow His word and obey
When get to Heaven you will know why

With a home made of beautiful marble
Gold inlay will be seen in every room
Sunshine will fill His Azure Blue sky
Not one day shall we ever see gloom

Up in Heaven everything will be perfect
Designed by that Great Master up above
Happiness will fill our eternal soul there
To be comforted by God's unyeilding love

Where Life Is Eternal

Where Life Is Eternal

When I cross over the Jordon
My trip will take me to the sea
There to sail the tides of time
Then Heaven will wait for me

To meet and know my Savior
To spend those peaceful days
Jesus shall ever be with me
Walking those Gold pathways

His love will take me up there
His life He had given for my sin
As I enter those Golden arches
His sweet smile will greet me in

With a happy heart I will meet
My good friends up from Earth
We all have passed judgment
God knows what we are worth

In His kingdom I shall then live
Our home there will be ethereal
For He alone made it this way
In Heaven where life is eternal

Walk With Jesus

Walk With Jesus

If you cannot find love in your heart
Compassion escapes your very soul
Come to God and ask forgiveness
Follow Him, He will make you whole

In your darkest hour He is with you
Never will He ever leave your side
He will lead you on a straight path
It’s with your Savior you shall abide

When your hour seems the darkest
He will make the light for you to see
He has prepared this home for you
There to live throughout all eternity

Follow His word and believe in Him
For He is the right and the only way
Heaven will await you if you are true
You will walk with Jesus one bright day

His Great Kingdom

Today's prayers lead to a promise of tomorrow
If you sincerely believe and obey His every word
He will show you the way to His great Kingdom
Where beauty is seen and sweet music is heard

His Kingdom is filled with peace and tranquility
No wars to be fought, no angry words to be said
His is a world filled with unyielding love eternally
Happiness abounds, so never will we find dread

Up there our hearts will be filled with great pride
Knowing He has let us enter in His place of Glory
Having placed our faith in Him down here on Earth
He will give to us a home that will make us happy

Don't be fooled by non believers thrashings of God
They should be pitied for their ignorance of mind
If we could only convince them of His Holy power
Get them to believe, then they wont be left behind

My Victory

When that long journey ends
We will rest up there in Heaven
Leave this wretched life behind
There again to see our brethren

Surrounded by angels singing
Far beyond that distant cloud
We shall see His great throne
Sparkling White in the crowd

When it is my turn to meet Him
I feel His Spirit that’s in my soul
For it was He who has saved me
Forgave my sins, made me whole

Kneeling in front of God Almighty
I can feel His hand touch my face
Knowing through my faith in Him
I have my victory and won my race

copyright © 2009 By Acie
Eternal Life With Him

Where will you be when that trumpet sounds
That calls God's children to His heavenly home
Will you be among those who have been saved
Or will you be swept away in a firey sea of foam

If you believe and follow His commandments
You will be among those that He calls to Heaven
He will show you a beautiful home that is eternal
Not a land that is ugly and will be forever barren

His is the land where it shall ever be wonderful
No fears or sorrows there will ever come to bear
Peace and tranquility covers His great Kingdom
For faith in Him, He will give us a home up there

Why would anyone choose not to worship Him
Surely they know His is the only way we can win
When He calls His flock up to His Heavenly home
It is then that our eternal life with Him can begin

copyright © 2009 By Acie
He
He is my drink of water
He is the air I breathe
He is my way to eternity
He is the one I believe

He died for my sins
He loves us forever
He is the only truth
He forsakes us never

He walks with us daily
He hears our every word
He is our great Savior
He is the voice I heard

He will protect you
He will show the way
He will welcome you in
He will not let you stray

Night And Day

As a fiery Sunset fades in the Western sky
Night does then bring darkness to this land
Twenty four hours and it will happen again
It's time that was set by God's mighty hand

He gave to us the night time for sleeping
Daytime, He gave us light to do our work
He knows where every second is spent
Matching the time of day like clockwork

He is the complete master of the universe
Controlling what is done down here on Earth
He will show us the sting of death one day
Just like He gave a certain day for our birth

Praise be to our blessed Lord and Master
For He has provided a way for eternal life
Believe in Him and show Him all your love
He will give you that eternal life that is rife

Shawnee

Shawnee

Down throughout these long years
God has carved out a beautiful valley
Flowing through it is the Ohio river
This is home to many people like me

This valley once saw tribes of Indians
One of these tribes was the Shawnee
Ousted by the settlers who moved in
Their land was taken and they did flee

Today we remember this Indian tribe
We named a forest in their memory
In Portsmouth there is a fine college
It's name is Shawnee State University

There are still arrowheads and hatchets
Found where there once was a battleground
So sad the Indians were driven from here
Today only the name of Shawnee is found

Idolatry

Idolatry

Someone said they were so thrilled
Meeting Michael Jackson on that day
Would they be overwhelmed to see God
I wonder if those people know how to pray

When they idolize a man in the flesh
It is this sin, idolatry that they commit
When they worship this Earthern man
It is our Heavenly Father they will forget

Jackson's songs can't lead you to Heaven
Maybe his songs will not be heard up there
I know some may have liked them on Earth
But in Heaven for his songs most wont care

Put away all this idolizing of Michael Jackson
Although he is dead you wont let him go away
You know he also must stand in front of our Lord
Only God will judge him on the judgement day

Poems

Sorry I haven't posted any poems lately. My old computer blre up and the new one I bought from Dell has had a lot of problems. Here are some of the newer ones.
Acie.


Flag Of Glory
We can see it waving,this flag of glory
Unceasing, never to fail it will surely fly
Men and women have given up their life
To make sure our freedom will never die

Many people admire her, but others hate
Flying with honor showing undying pride
Red, White, and Blue make up her colors
High up in the breeze will this flag ever ride

Many battles she has seen in her lifetime
At times she has been battered and torn
Withstanding perils of those who are evil
We now know why this banner was born

Showing freedom for all of us that love her
May God ever guide her on the right path
Show how a peace loving country like ours
Can still meet all of her enemies with wrath

Show her colors on this fourth day of July
Be proud of this country in which we live
Be prepared to defend her honor and glory
Thank her for this freedom she has to give

His Old Fiddle

I remember an elderly man, back some years ago who played the fiddle. His name was Acie Neal. To him I dedicate this poem. Although I knew nothing about his finances, most of this is fact.
I know he is playing his fiddle in Heaven today.

His Old Fiddle

Music flowing from his fiddle was amazing
His shaggy hair was so crumpled and gray
He played with the touch of younger man
His playing was the best, many would say

In younger days he played at the dances
So smooth as they danced across the floor
He was full of energy at that time of his life
At four in the morning he would play more

Today he plays at the church he attends
You might say he is playing for the Lord
Living out life on a Social Security check
His fiddle is the only thing he can afford

He knows that his life soon will be over
Ever in his mind he has this one riddle
When the angels sing up there in Heaven
Will God allow him to play his old fiddle

His Path

Have you ever star gazed? It is really facinating to see the millions of tiny lights God has put up there. May your day be blessed.
Acie

His Path

In the Golden glow of the full moon
Brilliant stars are hanging in the sky
Millions of miles up from our planet
We can see them and wonder why

We are a small part of the universe
Our Sun is another of the bright stars
I wonder do those Suns have planets
Like our Sun has a planet we call Mars

When God created all of His universe
He had it planned out in every detail
He made a perfect path for everything
This way He knew it could never fail

He has also made a path for us to walk
It leads to His home in Heaven on high
Confess all sins, love, and believe Him
He will show you that right path to try

A Beautiful Morning

God has blessed us with a gorgeous morning, the first Tuesday in Summer. If we only look around we can see the many marvels He created. May your day be blessed.
Acie

A Beautiful Morning

On this glorious Tuesday morning
We can see the Sun shining bright
With the darkness now faded away
Gone from a dark and gloomy night

We can hear a rooster as he crows
He brings to us another great day
Farmers will till their rich soil today
While the children will run and play

Across the creek we can hear a train
It's whistle blows so loud and clear
It's sound echoing from the hillside
Makes the appearance that it is near

What a beautiful day God has given
Full Green growth of the trees we see
Flowers in bloom and a big Blue sky
He deserves thanks from you and me

Tonight by your bedside don't forget
To tell Him in a lengthy trueful prayer
Just how much you love and trust Him
Until that day you meet Him up there

Happy Mind

Have you talked to Him today? You know He will answer you. Maybe not at that exact time but be patient, He will talk to you.
May your day be filled with glory.
Acie

Happy Mind

In the quiet of the day's ending
Have you heard Him talk to you
His soothing voice surrounding
Knowing what He said is true

Have you offered to obey Him
Hearing everything He has to say
It will lead you on up into Heaven
When your life here passes away

Do you know of His love for you
Can you give that love in return
Or would you just turn Him away
Saying it was not of your concern

Those who believe in His word
One day soon they will surely find
Their place there with our Savior
With a peaceful and happy mind

Her Picture

I know this is a very sad poem, but it was written as I thought about a friend of mine and what he must have gone through. When we think of death as just something we must go through to live in that Eternal City it doesn't seem all that bad.
May the Lord be with you all.
Acie

Her Picture

In sadness he looks at her picture
Sitting there on the old night stand
Lovely when that picture was taken
Why she died he can't understand

So happy they had been together
With love flowing deep in the heart
Today he must face the world alone
Not dreaming they could ever part

An emptyness is filling his life now
Alone for the first time in many years
Times he sits in there in the darkness
With a rush comes the flowing tears

He prays to almighty God each night
That he again will be with her up there
To see her smile and to hug her again
Up there in that rarefied Heavenly air

That Old House

Every once in a while I think of the old house in which I was born. The old house burned several years ago, but I still enjoy going back there and think of time past.
I hope you have pleasant memories to hold onto also.
Have a great day.
Acie

That Old House

I can remember that old White frame house
It sat in a clearing up a hollow about a mile
I was born in it over seventy eight years ago
Thinking back to that time brings a me smile

There was no inside plumbing or electricity
But home it was to a family numbering six
Sure some of the children made fun of us
They said we came from back in the sticks

Care free days we had back in those days
Raising a big garden for most of the food
In those days if you had extra you shared it
Perhaps to a widow who had a large brood

That old house is gone, burning years ago
About twenty years ago I drove back there
Thinking of how my Mother brought us up
I paused and went to our Lord in a prayer

So much has the world changed since then
With an air conditioning our homes a must
Cable TV and a big screen TV now we have
But still, in our Heavenly Savior we do trust

Grandmother's Roses

Years ago most people used latticwork instead of a trellis to hold climbing roses. This is a poem about my dear grandmother and her roses.
May your day be good and may God bless you.
Acie

Grandmother's Roses

Some of the latticework is still standing
That was nailed to the garage years ago
I can still remember the beautiful roses
That grandmother did so skillfully grow

No modern fertilizer would ever she use
She used a secret that was all her own
No Roses could compare in these days
Like the ones grandmother had grown

Fragrance was so sweet from her roses
So special, it's one you can't find today
Grandmother never thought of it as work
She thought that it was like child's play

Grandmother is gone now like the roses
They died shortly after she passed away
I wonder if they may have grieved to death
As I look at that old latticework here today

More Or Less

We have had the wettest Spring I can ever remember. I was thinking as I wrote this poem if God didn't make the weather and left it up to us it would sure be a mess.
May God Bless you and yours.
Acie

More Or Less

A cool breeze welcomes the night air
Another hot humid day has passed by
Trees now thrive with full Green foliage
Rain still falls from a clouded Gray sky

No mowing today and the grass is tall
Mold spores lie on a dank wet ground
Crops can't grow because it's too wet
It seems that Sunshine can't be found

If the rain does stop will it be for long
Would the ground become a dry mess
Where plants could no longer survive
Right now we don't need more but less

Man cannot control these rains today
I think I have the idea but I'm not sure
God knew if He allowed us to control it
I might want less while you want more

His Beautiful Beach

Have you ever sat on a White beach as the Sun was sinking in the West? I don't think I have seen a more tranquil sight. It is so relaxing.
May God bless this day for you.
Acie

His Beautiful Beach

In the evenings twilight glow we will walk
Along the winding seacoast's white sand
Barefoot, we leave the imprints of our feet
Upon this beautiful God landscaped land

We hear the singing of the night birds
When they whistle their nighttime tunes
We have this feeling of quiet relaxation
As we sit atop of one of the sand dunes

A fire on this beach would feel so good
As the night air has turned a little chilly
We find driftwood aplenty on the beach
A beach that is clean and full of beauty

God has created this lovely beach for us
Treat it and Him with your greatest respect
When it came to creating this world for us
So perfect, no single part did He neglect

So don't forget to tell Him how you feel
In your prayers that you pray this night
Ask Him for atonement for all your sins
Believe in Him and things will be alright

His Tranquil Kingdom

Until the day God calls me to His beautiful Kingdom, I want to be everything He wants me to be. May your days be blessed.
Acie

His Tranquil Kingdom

With heart soft as silk, He will bless you
With hands stronger than iron, He is King
He has a heart that is full of genuine love
His love is for everyone and for everthing

Yes, He is the great Creator of everything
All things that you can see He has made
All of this world and everything that's in it
He made a Sun and then He made shade

He has made a Kingdom that is so serene
Where a mansion there is waiting for you
Peace and quiet fills His tranquil Kingdom
There where the sky is always azure Blue

One day I want to see His great Kingdom
There to have a home throughout eternity
But until that day He calls me there to Him
I try to be the person He wants me to be

Ever On Your Mind

Let your mind think about the future and what will happen when this life you do depart. I hope you have found faith in our Lord.
May He bless you richly.
Acie

Ever On Your Mind

If your tomorrow was to be forever
Would you be ready to see that day
To meet your dear Lord and Master
As you walk up that golden pathway


Would you hear the silver trumpets
As played by God's heavenly band
Hear the angels as they sweely sing
Echoing beautifully through the land

Will you walk along the sea with Jesus
Hear the waves splashing on the shore
See the wonders He has created there
Will Heaven be your home forever more

If you only believe and obey His words
An eternal home He promised you to find
Know today His promise will be trueful
Let Him know that is ever on your mind

Loving Doves

Have you ever hear the cooing of a dove? It is a very mournful sound. I wrote this poem when I hear a dove on Sunday morning. I hope you enjoy it.
May God Bless you.
Acie

Loving Doves

The quietness of this early Sunday morning
Is only broken by the cooing of a White Dove
Mourning is the sound of this lonesome bird
Seems as she has been deserted by her love

Then soon I hear the cooing of another bird
Who seems to be lost in his morning flight
Suddenly with dart of wing he flies to her
He had lost her in the darkness of the night

Frantically he had searched for his mate
All night he hunted without her in his sight
As came the first glimmer of the morning
He found her, now everything is all right

They coo together in the sparkling morning
With the Sun raising up in the Eastern sky
God has brought these lovers back together
I neither ask or need to know the reason why

Judus The Betrayer

I guess things haven't changed all that much since back in time. Today you may be betrayed by a friend for much less than 30 pieces of silver. I know God must be disgusted by the actions of many today. May your day be filled with joy and thoughts of goodiness toward your neighbors. God bless

Judas The Betrayer

Of His apostles there were twelve
Of those, betrayers there was one
Judas was that betrayer of Jesus
He thought a fortune he had won

He had evil thoughts toward Jesus
Telling the Romans he would deliver
Jesus to them after the feast that night
For the sum of thirty pieces of silver

Thirty pieces of silver bought Judas
Jesus knew what Judas would do
He then allowed Judas to betray Him
He knew Judas wasn't trusted and true

Today too many have no trust in God
Their minds are twisted by the devil
This demon is the one that they worship
He fills their minds with thoughts of evil

How many Judas could we find today
Pretending that they are a good friend
Only with the finish of this Earthly time
Will things like this be brought to an end

Its Our Birthdays

Each year I try to write a poem about our birthdays. Yesterday was mine, the 5th of June, today is my sweet wife's.
May your day be filled with love.
God Bless

It's Our Birthdays

Tho we have spent thirty birthdays together
These years have rapidly passed and gone
It seems as though five years pass as one
It has been a real pleasure as time rolls on

With my birthday the fifth, yours the sixth
We usually celebrate them the same day
Perhaps it will be a dinner at O'Charley's
Or find a new restaurant not too far away

It is with your love that my life is complete
Each day brings happiness into my heart
With all of our faith in our Holy Redeemer
That in our lives God now plays a big part

May our time together on Earth be long
But in Heaven we will live through eternity
Two children of God to be forever together
My sweet wife Janet and I shall always be

City Of Gold

We had several violent storms here in Southern Ohio this past week, but today looks like a top ten day. A very good day to attend church and have lunch out. Have the greatest day.
God bless.
Acie


City Of Gold

When the Sun lights up the Eastern sky
Dawn will then break into a beautiful day
Rains of the past week has been heavy
Now this bright Sun will chase them away

Sparkling green is the grass on the lawn
Still wet from the storm we had last night
Bolts of wicked lightning filled a black sky
Filling the little children with dreaded fright

As the storm passed into a longed for past
All is quiet on this clear and lovely Sunday
Soon the Church bells will ring a welcome
For all to attend Church services this day

Into the house of the Lord we will gather
To hear the message our Pastor will deliver
His message will be straight from the Bible
Showing us God is not a taker but a giver

He will give us eternal life if we will listen
To all of the commandment he has told
Love and believe in all of His Holy words
If you want to live up in that City of Gold

Night Animals

Did you ever sit in a porch swing on a Summer night and hear all of the noises of insects and night birds? Sometime they sound as if they are singing in harmony. Other times it seems as it is nothing but noise.
Have a great day.
God Bless
Acie

Night Animals

On this stuffy hot summer evening
Only night creatures can be heard
Crickets are calling to their mates
On a hill there is a whippoorwill bird

A night Owl screeches a loud hoot
A small field mouse will be his prey
It's not aware of its impending doom
So the small mouse continues to play

Wrestling around in the dry leaves
Two young Opposums start to fight
So restless waiting for their mother
It is pitch black this moonless night

God created these night creatures
Same as He created both you and me
Enjoy the sounds of the night animals
They sing a song of night and it is free

He Will Let You In

So many people in this sinful world are concerned with the material things in life and try to grab everything they can. Have you ever heard of them leaving this world with this loot?
Have a great day and may God Bless you.
Acie

He Will Let You In

When I leave this old sinful world
My home up in Heaven shall I see
There I'll find peace and serenity
It is there God will ever set me free

Free of the bondage of this world
Where so many evils we have seen
Squabbling about the land or money
Using tactics with their heart unclean

Up in Heaven all of that will vanish
Everyone there will be your friend
Smiling faces will be seen every day
Living a life there that never will end

Why would anyone settle for less
When they know God forgives all sin
Ask today for forgiveness to our Lord
With love in His heart He will let you in

His Many Colors

Have you thought of the many colors we see here on Earth? Can you in your wildest imagnination visualize what colors await us up in Heaven?
Have a great day
Acie

His Many Colors

He has colored all of the sky Blue
He has colored all the grass Green
He has colored all the many flowers
With all colors that are in between

His stroke better than Rembrandts
No flaws can be seen in His work
Be it the clouds over the mountain
Or a Brown Trout down in the brook

We see Deer standing in the Snow
Their Brown coats show up the White
So exacting are all of His paintings
He seems to get all of them just right

Tho the colors here are so dazzling
They must pale with those up there
For we know He has saved the best
For His home that's high up in the air

Sunday Morning Service

With the arrival of another Sunday, it is time to go over to the church we attend.Having written this a few minutes before attending the morning services, I must now get ready to attend SHBC, or Shawnee Hills Baptist Church. May your day be blessed.
Acie

Sunday Morning Service

Brightness of a new day beginning
Wakes up the sleepiness within me
Sun shining brightly this morning
Not one cloud in the sky can I see

Arising from the fog of deep sleep
I am up to see another beautiful day
Soon I will be off to attend church
I know God wants it to be this way

Once again see our flock gathered
Hear the preaching of Pastor Ken
As he tells of what the Bible says
It's teachings from away back then

Enjoyment as we hear the choir
Singing in their excellent harmony
Song I like best of all that they sing
I think would be "Abide With Me"

When all of the services are over
Handshakes and smiles you will see
At the door is our Pastor Ken smiling
SHBC that is the one that's for me

Unyielding Wings Of Time

For some life is but a very short time. While others may life well past one hundred. Since we have no idea when our time will come doesn't it make good sense to be prepared for that time? Trust God !
May your day be pleasant
Acie

Unyielding Wings Of Time

Brought on to this Earth by our Creator
We live on the unyielding wings of time
We never know how long our span of life
Some short, others live past their prime

From birth our days must be numbered
In the great book kept up there in the sky
If you know your precious Lord and Savior
There is no reason to know when or why

If you know the Lord and HIs teachings
Follow His words all of the way to the end
You will know that He is waiting for you
No message will He have need to send

For He will take you up to His Kingdom
With all of the other believers of His power
To await all of those love ones from Earth
Who will have the victory for all of their valor

Our Friend Joe

I first met Joe and his wife Nancy several years ago. We would go to Shawnee State University and have a good walk in the gym, then go in the pool and swim for a while. Like Joe, several of our friends, (called the Golden Bears) has passed on. I think it just goes to show our life us like the twinkling of an eye in God's great scheme for us. I know I shall see Joe in Heaven.
May God Bless Joe's lovely wife Nancy and the rest of his family.

Our Friend Joe

Although we know he is in Heaven
We all mourn the loss of him today
One day we will be with our friend
Listen to what the Bible has to say

He was a friend, a husband,a father
So pleasant in his manner every day
With a smile and a twinkle in his eye
It was a pleasure to know him that way

I know we all will miss our dear friend
A void it will leave in our life each day
Tho we know his home is much better
Since our Dear Lord called him away

Just remember our loss is God's gain
He will wait along the Golden Shore
For all of his friends and dear family
Then together they will be once more

A Christian Life and I Thank God

Sorry I haven't posted a couple of my newest poems, as I have had problems with this old worn out ( like me) computer. But with God's grace it is now working. I wanted to write something for My sweet departed Mother, so I wrote I Thank God.
May your day be blessed.
Acie

A Christian Life

With his aged dim eyes he reads his Bible
He had read it at least a hundred times over
Each time he read it he had learned more
Starting with Genesis he read it cover to cover

When he was just a young man he met God
His life he knew must be to serve Him well
Working as a youth Pastor he convinced kids
How an evil life leads down the pathway to hell

It was at that time he met a beautiful young lady
He courted her and soon he had won her heart
As they were married on that warm June evening
They made a vow only death could keep them apart

As the years rolled by so swiftly in their marriage
Three children were born and had Christian ties
Two sons became Doctors and their girl a nurse
Deep into their heart their love of God still lies

Just over three years ago came that horrible night
When God called his wife to His home in the sky
Heartbroken, he thought God had foresaken him
When reunited up in Heaven, God will tell him why

I Thank God

I remember those bitter cold Winter days
When she would walk to work in the snow
Deep down in my heart I so dearly loved her
But back then how much I just didn't know

In Heaven I will put my arms around her
Tell her many things I am sure she knew
Love for my dear sweet mother was there
Started when I was a baby and daily it grew

Within a day or two I will go to the cemetery
I will visit her grave and decorate it once again
Feeling I will have as I stand by her headstone
I know will be with sadness and heartfelt pain

I thank God she is in a place where I will see her
When I join our family high up in the Heavenly sky
All of our questions will be answered by our Lord
But to gain that eternal life we must be ready to die

I Shall Abide

After a very wet week, the Sun is shinning brightly this morning. Everything looks so clean and Green this morning. Have a great day. May God bless you and your family.
Acie

I Shall Abide
As I walk along in the mornings dense fog
I have a feeling of Him walking beside me
Anxiously I listen for words He might say
I know only He can set my sinful soul free

I smile as I know He has a place waiting
He has made for us high up into the sky
His is an eternal Kingdom there waiting
There we will never wonder how or why

It is written on the pages of the Bible
Of how Jesus died on that old cross
He took all our sins that terrible day
Saving us for from a Heavenly loss

As the fog slowly drifts up to the skies
I no long feel His presence by my side
After instilling the Holy Spirit within me
He knows to all His words I shall abide

He Is The Only Truth

Wont that be a great day when we all see Jesus? Happiness will reign supreme. Have a great day.
Acie

He Is The Only Truth

In the land of that eternal glory
We will meet our God one day
There at His side and in unision
We all then shall begin to pray

So many days I had ignored you
How foolish were my thoughts then
After finding your love in my heart
I think back to what might have been

What a blessed Savior thou art
Lifting me from the depths of sin
Telling me if you believe and obey
My Gates of Heaven will let you in

A precious moment spent with Him
Is worth more than years all alone
How happy I have met my dear Lord
He is the only truth I have ever known

Don't Throw It Away

It is a rainy Sunday the 3rd of May here in the lovely Scioto valley. With the rain that we have had the valley is so green and pretty.
See you at Church this morning.
God bless.
Acie

Don't Throw It Away

If your heart is true
God will bless you
If your heart is bad
You make God sad

Pray to Him today
He'll show the way
Be on the right path
Avoid His great wrath

Know Him as a friend
Find death isn't the end
His is the final word
He wants to be heard

He walks with you today
Hear what He has to say
After you are in the ground
You will be Heaven bound

You will rise in the air
Live in His eternal care
Get to know Him Today
Don't throw it all away

Rely On God

I was thinking of the many foods we can gather without having to put much work into it. Honey of course is one, greens ,mushrooms, fruit from a tree in your yard, the list is endless. God gives us all these things and we seldom thank Him for them. Think about it.
God bless
Acie


Rely On God

In the early morning, dew is on a Rose
Caressing tender pedals of her bloom
Waking her from the dark of the night
Yawning she emits her sweet perfume

Soon Honey Bees will take her nectar
Then fly to their hive in a Beech tree
To fill the wax cones that they made
With delicious Honey for you and me

God has made so many tasty foods
You can find them by looking around
Many are up in trees or in the water
Some are seen growing in the ground

Rely on God for He will provide for us
Be hungry for our Lord's precious word
Be prepared to ascend up to Heaven
As the sound of the Trumpet is heard

He Is Ever With Us

It is so sad that some of the people in this world have a false idol to whom they worship. Without any doubt I know our God, and what He will do for us.


He Is Ever With Us

Be it in the brightness of a morning Sun
Or be it in the darkest hour of the night
His eyes will ever be vigilantly upon us
Always letting us know wrong from right

He is with us even tho we are sleeping
Knowing every thought that's on our mind
He took all our sins as if they are His own
Jesus Christ, who is so precious and kind

We know all the world is not in agreement
With whom the Supreme Deity is this day
However we know our God is up in Heaven
He is our God who we will honor and obey

When the end comes to this sad old world
Too many people in the pit of Hell will burn
Too late it will be for those who aren't saved
Too bad, lessons from God they didn't learn

Lovely Shawnee Hills

The sheer beauty of these Shawnee Hills are in full color today. With just enough rain and a warm second half of April they have come alive.
May God Bless your day


Lovely Shawnee Hills

God has blessed these lovely Shawnee Hills
Land of flowers and with so much rare beauty
Springtime brings us many magnificent colors
Giving all of this enjoyment to both you and me

First we can see the Crocus and the Daffodil
Followed by many beautiful colored flowers
Tulips with their heady blooms of varied tint
Start to bloom from the early Spring showers

Azaleas and Rhododendrons are delightful
With many colors to brighten up this land
White and Pink Dogwood with the Redbud
Makes these hills come alive and are grand

Tho these hills are not as lovely as Heaven
They will suffice until we all gather up there
In His beautiful land that has no comparision
It is up there He will give us His eternal care

Life Of Eternity

Faith in God makes for a better day. God Bless


Life Of Eternity

Are your days being blessed
By our Lord who is up above
Do you know of that feeling
You get with His undying love

Have you confessed your sins
Asked for forgiveness this day
Told Him of how you need Him
Got down on your knees to pray

Do you know what He has waiting
In a land far beyond skies of blue
A land of excitement there awaits
For believers just like me and you

Beauty shall surround us up there
Unknown colors will grace the scene
Only with God in His Heavenly home
Will our life of eternity ever be seen

Primetimers

At our church we have a group of seniors called the Primetimers. We meet once a month and really have a lot of fun. We have been thinking of maybe taking short trips to see things of interest.
May God bless you on this last Sunday of April. Wow where has the past 4 months gone.
Acie

Primetimers

Primetimers are a great group of people
Always friendly with a smile on their face
Enjoying their life as good people of faith
They know they are living in God's grace

Having dinner together is much pleasure
Be it eating out or at the church basement
A group that has so much good character
Mild in manner and so nice and pleasant

It is with happiness we meet each month
There are times when I wish we met more
I know time restraints may not allow us to
But it might be someting we can explore

Janet and I are happy to be primetimers
We get to associate with ones of our age
Meeting and having such great fellowship
If you are not there fun is hard to gauge

Right To The Letter

So many precious memories we have of the long time past. Isn't it wonderful God allows us to retain the memories, so we can go back and relive them in our mind.
I hope you have a great day, and may God bless you.
Acie

Right To The Letter

Weeds have over grown that little church
That I attended those many long years ago
It seemed if the younger people didn't care
It grew when the older people couldn't mow

God had been in that church so many times
I could feel His presence there way back then
It was kept painted white and was very clean
Sitting there near the brook on a wooded glen

Memories I have of that little church are many
Of Sunday school and services that followed
Of the galvenized bucket that sat by the door
Taking a drink it was spring water we swallowed

In Winter time a pot belly stove gave the heat
Some of the men sawed up big chunks of wood
Making that old stove become a glowing Red
Everyone tried to stay warm as best they could

We don't see a church like that one these days
They have passed for what some think is better
But all of the religion taught at the little church
Followed the our precious Bible right to the letter

All Things Right

Isn't it wonderful how in the blink of an eye a sinner can become a believer? How a lost soul finds their way. Believe in God, there is no other way.
Acie

All Things Right

Many times he passed that little church
There were times he thought of going in
Seemed he could always find an excuse
Still he knew he had been living in sin

One stormy night he had been drinking
He began to look for a place that was dry
He stumbled into the little church that night
Some of the congregation wondered why

Words he heard that night sobered him up
Tears had welled up in his bloodshot eyes
Asking God to forgive him for all his sins
Now the congregation has no more whys

He is a Deacon in that little church today
God had forgiven all of his sins that night
His heart is full of love for his dear Savior
He thanks God for making all things right

Call On God

With all the beauty of a late April morning my heart keeps going back to God. I tell Him how much I love the colors of Springtime. But I also wonder what the beauty of Heaven will show.
God bless you and yours.
Acie

Call On God

When everything seems hopeless
Call on God for He will answer you
Tell Him about all of your problems
Above all to Him you must be true

He will listen to all of your troubles
Obey Him as He tells you what to do
All questions are answered in Heaven
Remember how much God loves you

He has made a mansion up in Glory
Where forever in eternity we shall live
Tell Him how much you believe in Him
It is this eternal life to you He will give

Confess your sins, He will forgive them
For on that cross He died to save us all
Be ready to make that journey to Heaven
When you hear that final trumpet call

Heaven We Can Afford

After a beautiful Saturday, it looks like rain this Sunday morning. We can't complain for the Lord knows what He is doing. May God bless you today.

Heaven We Can Afford

Have you said a prayer this morning
Did you tell Him of your undying love
Confessed to Him all of your past sins
Tell Him you want to see Him up above

Don't wait too late to ask for forgiveness
Tell Him you give your all to Him this day
Tell Him of the love for Him in your heart
Be true and believe, this is the only way

Call on Him, you know He will ever listen
His children are most precious to our Lord
Return these feelings to Him and then know
It is through Him, Heaven we can afford

May all the tomorrows be spent with Him
In that City He created in the skies above
Live there in eternal bliss with the angels
In Heaven, a place that is filled with love

Through All Eternity

What a picture perfect day here in Southern Ohio. Much like every day will be in Heaven. A great day to mow the church lawn, which I will do this afternoon.

Through All Eternity

I shall walk on Golden streets
Without a penny in my pocket
For there I won't need money
For a great and grand banquet

No credit cards shall we have
For everything up there is free
No autos will be seen up there
No polluted air will we ever see

Everything there is so perfect
God created Heaven that way
No stress or worry is up there
Strolling on Heavens pathway

What exuberance overfills us
As our loving Lord we will see
With a heart full of love for Him
Love lasting through all eternity

Along Heaven's Pathway

Do you love God? You know He loves everyone. If you have love in your heart for Him you know it. May your day be peaceful and full of love for everyone.
God Bless

Along Heaven's Pathway

When the tides of time have passed
On this old Earth no longer will I be
I will walk on the seasides of Heaven
There I will pray with bended knee

My Earthly life will be over and done
My eternal life will then have it's start
I will kneal at the feet of sweet Jesus
Tell Him of the love thats in my heart

Thank Him for everything He has done
Dying on the cross to take our sins away
Tortured and made to carry that cross
Even His garment was stolen that day

It is with all of my love that I can muster
I have for my Great Savior on this day
I can feel His presence within my soul
When I walk along Heaven's pathway

Foolish Wealth

I have often heard that money is the root of all evil. I guess it must be. People will do anything for money, even kill.
Have a great day and may God Bless you.


Foolish Wealth

Brought into this world without wealth
Everyone shall leave it the same way
For not one penny will buy us eternity
Gold can't help on the Judgement day

A fool who hoards his money in life
Has no use for it when death arrives
Funny how some think without riches
There is no way their soul survives

Riches doesn't measure a man's worth
Even if he has treasures thats untold
God will measure what you have done
That can't be paid by any of your Gold

God does not have need for riches
In Heaven everything needed is free
This will be our home for all eternity
He made it this way for you and me

Praying Hands

I belong to a writers group called the Phoenix Writers. We meet once a month and share some of our writings. This month we were suppose to write about "hands" This is what I wrote.
God Bless
Acie

Praying Hands

As he cast his eyes toward Heaven
He has clasped together his hands
Lord, he asked when my life is gone
Can I enter into your Heavenly lands

He knew he had been a awful sinner
Drinking, chasing women and such
Back in the days when he was young
He hadn't thought about it very much

Today he is much older and now wiser
He wonders why he had waited so long
Thinking as he approached the church
Tears fell hearing the choir sing a song

Today he confessed everything to God
He asked to be forgiven for all his sins
Feeling relief from all of these burdens
It's now his journey to Heaven begins

Perfect In Every Way

A beautiful day here in Southern Ohio today. With Easter coming Sunday, wash the kids ears and load up the car and attend Easter services at your church.

Perfect In Every Way

I can hear those Golden Bells ringing
As that band of Angels keeps singing
Singing songs of hallelujah to our King
To my heart I feel the love He is bringing

To be with Him up in His Heavenly Home
Brings my emotions up to a fever pitch
I pray for forgiveness for my Earthly sins
Hoping He saves me, I am such a wretch

Days on Earth I look up to the sky to see
Only a few scattered clouds in a big Blue sky
Knowing that Heaven is up there somewhere
I can't see it and sometimes I wonder why

When God is ready for me to see His world
Angels, He will send to show me on that day
From this sinful world in which I now live
To a world that is so perfect in every way

Gift Of Life

If we only knew back then what a carefree life we had I think we would have enjoyed childhood even better. Today things are so much different. What has happened to the country? I know as a boy of 6 or 8 years of age I could hitchhike a ride and nothing happened but a nice ride to where I was going. But today I wouldn't think of picking up a stranger for fear of being killed. Time have surely changed.
God Bless
Acie

Gift Of Life

In the quiet of a misty Spring morning
I marvel at all the beauty that I can see
A single drop of dew is on a Red Tulip
Like a lonely teardrop it appears to me

I hear a dog barking as a boy walks by
There is a smile upon his cherubic face
Like an angel he gracefully treads on
He is in no hurry to speed up his pace

It is then my mind drifts back to youth
I dream about my childhood back then
When I was a barefoot boy I remember
Fishing in a small creek over at the glen

Isn't it wonderful God lets us be a youth
When we find our troubles to be very few
If to have an untroubled mind as an adult
Just let the Holy Spirit become part of you

I Walk In the Garden

As I sit at my computer this morning I daydream what we will see in a few weeks. What a beautiful time of the year. God loves you.
Acie


I Walk In The Garden

This morning I walk in the garden alone
Glistening clear dew I see on the flowers
They bloom so magnificently in all colors
In this tranquil setting I could sit for hours

Beautiful Roses remind me of our Lord
Love that I have for both shall never dim
Brilliant Reds are the ones that stand out
All of them to me are like a perfect gem

Aroma of a the Lilac fills the morning air
Two birds are busy building their nest
A gentle breeze rustles leaves in a Maple
This is my vision of Springtime at it's best

We should never forget to thank our Lord
For all the beauty He made for you and me
For without all the colors I see here today
What a dreary looking world this would be

Resurection Flower

I am not sure of what the real name of this flower is, but I have heard it called the Resurection Flower. In Early Spring it grows up in a clump of green blades like a lily would have. Then after a while the plant starts to die. I then mow it with my mower. Then one day they pop back through the ground with a white stem and a beautiful light Pink flower. If anyone know its name please ley me know.
God bless
Acie

Resurection Flower

With a touch of wind this Spring day
Rain is coming to wet the dry ground
Soon all plant life will again be alive
After a winter of being Earth bound

God gives us beauty in Springtime
All colors of the spectrum we do see
From Red to faded Violet in bloom
Are flowers enticing the honey bee

From the necter deep in the flower
A bee will carry back into the hive
I know that God know how and why
That we will soon see honey arrive

One of the mysteries of Springtime
Is the beautiful Resurection Flower
Growing up as narrow Green blades
Dies, then arises in its Pink power

God's Beautiful Springtime

It is such a beautiful Sat. morning here in Southern Ohio. The Sun is bright and the birds are singing. Grass has been mowed for the week and it is looking good. I thank God for this wonderful day.
God bless
Acie


God's Beautiful Springtime

All the hills are alive with God's wonder
Beautiful are Spring flowers that we see
God alone knows all the secrets of growing
From a blade of grass up to a tall Oak tree

Spotted are the hillsides with rare beauty
Dogwood and Redbud steal the scene away
Colorful Tulips are in bloom in the gardens
As the Sun is making it a most perfect day

Spring must be God's favorite season I think
This time when He resurrects life once again
Up from the sleep of a cold static Wintertime
Then they are to be revived by a warm April rain

How much more perfect could He make Spring
I see no imperfections in anything He has made
I am sure that there is more beauty in Heaven
This I will see after in the cold ground I am laid

Sleep In Peace

April has arrived in the Souther Ohio valley today. It brought with it the April rain, but now the Sun is shinning brightly and it looks like a grand day is in the offering.
God Bless
Acie

Sleep In Peace

May your night be filled with rest
Pray that God will watch over you
Sleep in peace and be in comfort
Rest is essential for you to renew

He made us to need some sleep
It energizes us for the next day
With a fresh start for a tomorrow
He made our lives work this way

We all have a time to spend here
In a world that is so filled with sin
But we know we all can be saved
If we will let the Holy Spirit come in

God wants us to be up in Heaven
Listen to Him and you will go there
Love and obey and admit your sins
In Heaven you'll have His tender care

Hourglass Of Time

The grains of sand in our hourglass become fewer each day. There is no way to add sand and one day the last grain will fall. Be ready.
God Bless
Acie


Hourglass Of Time

As the last grain of sand falls from your hourglass
Will you be prepared to meet your judgement day
Have you treated your neighbor with great respect
Walked on the straight and the narrow all of the way

Have you shown God all the love you have for Him
Is every prayer that you pray to Him, honest and true
You must if you want to live up in that glorious land
This decision to honor and obey Him is left up to you

If you find you must alter your way of living to please Him
Could this be a hard thing for you to do in your own way
You know he has taken all the sins you have committed in life
He did that when He died on the old rugged cross that day

Be thankful for Jesus Christ for He is your blessed Savior
It is only through Him that you can live your life eternally
Up in that wonderful land that He made high up in the sky
A place of beauty where He will welcome both you and me

Looking For A city

March is coming to an end. Soon warmer weather will be heading our way. Don't you feel it in your bones?

Looking For A City

I will be looking for a City
When life on Earth is gone
Beauty lies within that City
Fresh as the breaking dawn

This place He has offered
Even to a wretch like me
A home that's for eternity
Where I will be forever free

All I need to do, obey Him
Keep on that straight way
Let Him know how I love Him
He will Bless me every day

Seek out our great Savior
He will take your sins away
Stand up this day and ask Him
He will fill you with love today

Eternally I Will Reside

After a day of much needed rain everything looks so clean and refreshing. The buds are popping on the trees and soon all of the landscape will be green. This is the time of the year God has all of the plants starting to come alive. My favorite time of the year. May God Bless you and yours.

Eternally I will Reside

When I face my last day on Earth
A seaside mansion is waiting for me
With inlaid platinum, gold and silver
It shall be my home for all eternity

God has made me a great promise
If I am ever trueful, faithful, and kind
Follow and respect all His teachings
A home up in Heaven I will then find

A place filled with love for everyone
For it is ruled by God our great King
He loves everything He has created
This love to my heart He does bring

What a day of rejoicing we will have
When we gather there at God's side
See all the beauty that He has made
This place where eternally I will reside

Blessings From God

I am convinced that if the people that run our goverment would return to the principals that made this country great, we once again would find Grace from our dear Savior.
May God Bless us all.
Acie

Blessings From God

God please help the United States
We were once a jewell in your crown
It seems in the past fifty years or so
Many in our country has let You down

A country founded on religious rights
So many rights have been taken away
No longer are You worshipped by some
As a corrupt goverment wants it that way

If we don't stand up for our dear Savior
Tell the governing people what we think
Our rights we have will vanish some day
Deeper into the fire of hell we will sink

Tell everyone the story of sweet Jesus
Energize this country with Gods word
If we would only do this much for Him
Blessings from God would be heard

My Love Letter To God

Tuesday night was the last night brother Charlie Orr was our guest. If you ever have a chance to hear him I know you will be blessed by his words. We at Shawnee Hills Baptist Church thank you so very much for the great sermons you gave us. If you ever get the opportunity to see and hear Charlie Orr it will be worth your while. Welcome back anytime brother Charlie.
It was suggested on Monday night we write a love letter to God, this is my letter.
May God bless you.
Acie

My Love Letter To God

Your love flows into my heart like a river
Each day these feelings grow even more
Knowing you are my dear Lord and Savior
You fill my world with wealth tho I am poor

This wealth is in knowing how I love you
Nothing could ever compare to your love
That day I can put my arms around you
Is the day we meet in that City far above

Your compassion for me is overwhelming
When I first met you I was a wretched sinner
It was then you talked to me about Heaven
You said in me that you had found a winner

May our love never become compromised
I know that demon devil can't keep us apart
Ever day as my mind does hold you so dearly
Your love will flow even deeper inside my heart

Victory In Heaven

Easter is fast approaching and the drudgery of Winter will soon pass. It seems like it has been a long cold winter. God will soon paint the landscape with Springs beauty.

Victory In Heaven

Lillies are the flowers of Easter
Day after Jesus Christ had died
On Calvary's Hill that sad day
People that so loved Him cried

Taken to a tomb they sealed
With a huge bolder that day
Next morning as they looked
That bolder had rolled away

His Earthly body was now gone
Ascending high up into the sky
Those still living here on Earth
Were wondering where and why

He had ascended to a mansion
Built by our dear precious God
Your home too can be in Heaven
After they lay you under the sod

You must put your trust in our God
Confess to Him sins that you have done
Then obey each of His commandments
If your victory in Heaven is to be won

Through Him

Brother Charlie Orr held services at our church Sunday. He did a great sermon. He will be with us on Sunday Evening at 6 O'clock, Monday and Tuesday at 7 O'clock. Load up the kids and join us, I know you will enjoy it.
Acie

Through Him

One day brother Orr will be in Heaven
On those Golden shores he shall walk
He has told the story of Christ our Savior
You could feel the excitement in his talk

He told us about forgiving those that lie
See how much better then you will feel
Put your heart in the hands of God today
You can feel how all His love is for real

In this earthly world sin is overwhelming
Temptations abound almost everywhere
If you put faith in our everloving Savior
He will take you to Heaven's eternal care

Know that true friends will ever help you
They will help pull you from the pit of sin
God will forgive you for past transgressions
If you go through Him, Heaven will let you in

I Am Told

It is the start of a beautiful day here in Southern Ohio. Temp is suppose to be 70 today. Isn't Spring the best season as life springs forth? May today be blessed for you.
Acie

I Am Told

Joy of knowing God is so thrilling
He is beside me each day I live
His hand guides my every move
Sweet love to me He does give

On that day I first met our Lord
I was confused and drifting away
From the life I needed to be living
How happy I am for that great day

He told me of that place far away
Where all His believers do reside
Mansions there are White marble
With inlaid Gold and Silver inside

Beautiful are all the parts of Heaven
With streets paved with purest Gold
I shall see this place of wonderment
Whe God calls for me, that I am told

Your Place In Heaven

I know Spring will be here shortly. I see some flowers peeking out of the ground. I think Spring is our greatest season as it seems everything comes alive.
May God bless you and yours.
Acie


Your Place In Heaven

Life is precious, so don't abuse it
Use it to know God much better
If you study your Bible ever day
You should read it letter by letter

Find the purpose you have in life
What has God made you suited for
Should you listen or should you talk
Put God in your heart for evermore

Your days can be either sad or glad
But if you know God you will feel joy
His love will find a way to your heart
Love Him like a child loves some toy

If a day comes when you need Him
You can find Him right by your side
Tell Him of your most wanted desire
Your place in Heaven to be set aside

It Is Up To You

It is a Sunday morning in the middle of March. We know that Spring is just around the corner. I think we all are waiting for that to happen. May your day be blessed.
Acie

It Is Up To You

If you want to call on Jesus
You don't need a telephone
He will answer your prayers
Because you are never alone

He is always by your side
Be faithful and ever be true
He died for all of our sins
I trust Him always, will you

If you follow His teachings
Give in return all of His love
He has your home awaiting
In the skies that's far above

There is only one connection
That will lead you to His land
Believe in Him and love Him
It's up to you to take a stand

Walk With Him Above

As I sit at my computer this morning I dream of that beautiful land He has prepared for us. Isn't it a wonderful feeling?

Walk With Him Above

When you walk along with Him
Tell Him of all your gracious love
Ask Him to take your sins away
So you can walk with Him above

Anytime you need Him near you
You can whisper His sweet name
He will never be very far from you
He loves everyone just the same

Yesterdays sin vanishes quickly
If you tell Him of all of your sin
He shed His blood to cleanse us
Though not perfect have we been

For us to reach that land of Glory
We must listen to His every word
He alone can let us into Heaven
To hear the best choir ever heard

Way I Was Taught

Looks like we will be going back to what March weather should be here in Southern Ohio. It was great while it lasted.

Way I Was Taught

Some days we wonder where He has gone
He should be here when our need is great
Aches and pain can wrack this fragil body
I know He is here by me, ever will He wait

I think back to what His son had endured
I feel so petty with my minor aches and pain
Knowing what He must have gone through
With all of His suffering, to me it is so plain

He was nailed to the cross for all of our sins
His blood will wash those sins from your soul
But remember what you must do to be sin free
Love and obey Him, then He will make you whole

There is a precious God up in the Heavens above
He hears every uttered word, knows every thought
His compelling love is sweet and so overflows me
I know He is the way, this is the way I was taught

Listen To God

Isn't it great to know when we leave this life, Heaven above waits for us.

Listen To God

These eyes will one day see glory
Around God's throne we will meet
With all the sweetness of Heaven
It is with joy that we fall at His feet

We know that He is Lord of Lords
He will forever be the King of Kings
As He takes us up into His Heaven
Happiness into our heart it brings

Be not fooled by the demon devil
He will lead you down a path of sin
Do not let him have your Earthly life
If that place in Heaven you want in

Listen to God, He has the answers
If you love and obey Him every day
He has a mansion in Heaven waiting
Through Jesus you can find the way

copyright © 2009 By Acie

Give It A Try

What a wonderful few days God has given us. It has been Spring like weather here in Southern Ohio. It seems as if the preview of Spring God has given us is over today with highs only in the 40's
May God bless you. Have a happy day.

Give It A try

When I lay down my burdens
I will walk those Golden stairs
My home will be up with Jesus
There with no worries or cares

It is with Love I will see Jesus
He died to take my sins away
Happiness will overwhelm me
Joy will overflow on that day

My life on Earth will be short
A few live five score or more
What ever life here He gives
Soon leaves us for evermore

Heaven is gained through God
There is no other way to get in
His son died on that old cross
His life has paid for all our sin

If you believe and you obey Him
He has a home for you in the sky
A wonderful mansion awaits you
If you love Him please give it a try

He Created Us All

What a beautiful weekend for early March. God has given us a preview of Spring. Looks so good after the long cold Winter we have seen.

He Created Us All

Do you know who gave this life to you
Do you think you just happened to be
I know who put life in this body I have
It was God who put the breath in me

He took some dust and created man
It is not what some foolish men do say
Evolving from some kind of an animal
Those people will have a price to pay

In the Bible it tells all of the true facts
How Adam was the first created man
God knew Adam needed a companion
With a rib from Adam He made woman

God can create anything He wants to
From the highest mountain to the sea
Isn't it a wonder how He created us all
Mouth to speak, ears to hear, eyes to see

Abide By And Obey

It is a warm Sunday morning as we now prepare to attend our church. Yesterday was warn also. I guess God is giving us a preview of Spring.


Abide By And Obey

We have a great friend in Jesus
He will take all of your sins away
Find comfort in all His teachings
They will lead to Heaven one day

He is the son of our almighty God
He died to take away all of our sin
A cruel death upon that old cross
So a place in Heaven we could win

His love will fill you to overflowing
It is up to you to give love in return
But if you turn your back on Jesus
It will be in hell's fire you will burn

Show Him of your faith that you have
Knowing of that land that is far away
If you abide by Him and then obey
To Heaven, He will show you the way

God Must Be Sad

If all of the world lived as they should and found peace in God, wouldn't this be a great world. Sadly this isn't to be.

God Must Be Sad

With the world's economy in such shambles
God up in Heaven must be shaking His head
To see the masses losing their place of work
Many now have given up and live with dread

He knows it was started by the greed of man
Their lust for the all mighty greenback Dollar
Has brought all of the poor men to their knees
Squeezing every dime from him they can collar

Is giving these institutions money the answer
Big bonuses have overextended the cash flow
Should poor people now have to bail them out
Is that the way their hard earned money will go

God saw all of this coming right from the start
When they no longer spoke His name in glory
Bar His teachings within all our public schools
He must find sadness in all of the world's folly

If only here in America we all could remember
On all of the principals this country was found
God at that time was revered by all the people
If we still loved Him our fortunes would abound

Live In Eternal Grace

Wont it be great when we all meet on that Golden Shore?


Live In Eternal Grace

If your heart belongs to Jesus
You can feel His love every day
Happiness will flow within you
Keeping that mean devil away

He will lead you up to Heaven
There to live in eternal Grace
There will be no sin up there
Jesus has removed every trace

When we gather on the shore
That is called the Golden Strand
Believers will be gathered there
All standing there hand in hand

Love will flow like a mighty river
With dear Jesus leading the way
Wonders will come there eternal
Up in beautiful Heaven every day

Green Of Springtime

I, like most of you are tired of this long cold Winter. I know Spring will be here soon (at least I hope).

Green Of Springtime

Refreshing are the thoughts of Spring
When grass turns from Brown to Green
As the Daffodils show their Yellow bloom
This becomes Springs first lovely scene

Soon we will see Red Bud and Dogwood
Green leaves will be growing on the trees
Wild flowers will be seen on the hillsides
A sight to most all eyes will surely please

So comforting are the days of early Spring
It seems as if the whole world is coming alive
We can see Blooms are bursting out all over
I thank God warm weather soon will arrive

Gone will be the doldrums of a nasty Winter
Bland hills will soon show their Green mantle
Beautiful are the sight we see in the Spring
At the end of this blustery month comes April

Grandparents

Although Janet and I have no children, so no grandchildren. But I do see the happiness in grandparents faces.

Grandparents

To see the innocence in a babys eyes
Makes one wonder what do they think
Unaware of any of the world problems
They stay warm and have milk to drink

Too soon babies turn into grownups
From the nest they will then depart
Looking for a mate to make their life
Winning one boys or one girls heart

Then they will look at their own baby
With the same questions they wonder
We will never know what they think
It does give you a thought to ponder

God created man to grow and multiply
Too pass their lineage on to their baby
So proud are the doting grandparents
Their grandchildren they love so dearly

Give You Health

Have you ever thought what you would do if you were wealthy? Would riches mean that much to you? Or would you rather have good health?
God Bless
Acie

Give You Health

If one man owned all the gold and silver
Every scrape of platinum found on Earth
When he faces that final judgement day
We wonder what his soul might be worth

He must account for the way he acquired it
These riches he had gotten in all his days
If he done things contrary to God's word
There is no way to Heaven his riches pays

Earthly riches might be impressive to some
To God it is not worth much more than dirt
Greed to accrue the wealth of some others
Might cause that victim's family to be hurt

Be happy when you get the love of Jesus
For His love is worth more than any wealth
Be thankful and pray to the our Lord above
To forget the riches, but to give you health

When That Roll Is Called

In the quiet of a rainy morning isn't it great to sit and think of what awaits us up in Heaven?
God Bless
Acie

When That Roll is Called

When that roll is called up in Heaven
I know I will meet then all once again
Smiles will light up that wonderful day
My life in that Eternal City shall begin

Love will fill our hearts to overflowing
I'll see sweet Jesus and bow at his feet
Believing and trusting in our dear Savior
Will make my trip to Heaven complete

Beautiful angels will strum their harps
As that great choir sings their songs
Everything will be more than perfect
For everyone here in Heaven, belongs

Peace and comfort will follow us all
Every day of our Eternal Life up there
Under the guidance of our dear Lord
There will never be a worry or a care

My Loving Mother

I think all boys (men) have a special feeling for their mother. My mother was no exception. She has been gone now nearly 20 years, but the thoughts of her will never leave me until I see her again in Heaven.
Acie

My Loving Mother

I know when I enter God's kingdom
That again I will see my sweet mother
To walk on the Golden Shore with her
Will give to me a feeling like no other

On Earth she was a determined lady
Raising four children as best she could
With little help from a roaming husband
Everything she could do for us she would

I know God smiles upon her in Heaven
This mother like God wanted her to be
Always worrying about her little children
Two girls and two boys, youngest was me

I can still hear the words she told me
She said come to Him before it's too late
Now I know what she was talking about
I will meet her up there at Heaven's gate

He Has Displayed

Spring will be here soon. I guess I am day dreaming this morning . I love spring and the beauty it brings.
Acie

He Has Displayed

Beauty seen in a garden of Roses
Makes one feel thoughts of spring
With a fresh aroma adrift in the air
Beautiful realities it now will bring

Petals of various shades and hues
Gives to us a kaleidoscope of tints
Brilliant are these beautiful colors
All lying within this gardens stints

In morning dew we see on a rose
Sparkling like an expensive gem
Dropping down from the soft petal
To move on it's sturdy green stem

In this garden I could sit for hours
Admiring wonders God has made
Seeing all these beautiful flowers
In this Garden He has displayed

Near By

What a beautiful morning, though it is still winter and cold. The Sun shines brightly and reminds us Spring is just a few weeks away. May God Bless you and yours on this wonderful day.
Acie

Near By

Great will be that day when we enter Heaven
Marvels we could never dream will fill our eyes
Swift will be our journey up to that Eternal City
A wonderful land where no one there ever dies

Follow that path He has made to reach Heaven
Never sway from His commands or His teaching
If you listen He will show you the way up to Glory
Believe in Him, then Heaven you will be reaching

Love the Savior with all of your heartfelt feeling
There is much strength in the love He gives you
Throw out all those sinful thoughts in your mind
To God you must ever be both honest and true

Jesus died for all of our sins on Calvary's cross
He did it to bring us to a home on Heavenly high
If we all give our hearts to that great Holy Spirit
We will find that a beautiful City will be near by

Our Wonderful Church

It is not too often today that you find a church where all the members pull together. I am happy to say the church my wife and I belong to is this kind of a church. I don't think I have ever seen a more friendly group anywhere.
Acie

Our Wonderful Church

Friends we are and we will always be
Feelings of admiration for each other
Everyone over at the church we go to
Is known as our sister or our brother

So nice are all of the members there
Greeting you with a big broad smile
Shaking your hand with their greeting
When we are walking down the aisle

I know God smiles on our small church
So many things we know we must do
Anytime this church needs some help
Our members will see it come through

We are proud of this wonderful church
I love to hear the preaching of Kenny
Shawnee Hills Baptist Church is great
This is a church that's admired by many

He Will Not Deceive

A beautiful Sun is in the sky this morning, but I am afraid it is deceiving us. We are suppose to have rain changing to SNOW. Oh well Spring is just around the corner.
Acie


He Will Not Deceive

Walk a while with Jesus
See the smile on His face
It makes for a perfect day
Walking at a leisurely pace

Give your heart to Him
Tell Him how you believe
Deep in your heart today
To you He will not deceive

Ask Him to take your sins
He paid for them long ago
On that cross on Calvary
Proof that He loves us so

If you don't know our Savior
Get to know Him this day
His is your way to Heaven
He hears you when you pray

Beauty Of Springtime

Wintertime blues, cabin fever, or just getting ansy for warmer weather. I guess that describes me. I love Spring when it seems everything explodes into dazzling colors and the beauty of Spring is with us again. Wont be long......I promise.

Beauty Of Springtime

Spring is just around the corner
Soon old man Winter has to go
Then we will see Earth's beauty
As flowers will once again grow

Springtime seems to be special
As Earth transforms its mantle
From the barren looks of winter
To looks of Spring that is artful

A season that refreshes Earth
When everything comes alive
Green leaves don all the trees
Fertilized lawns will then thrive

To see and smell new flowers
Gives meaning to this season
I guess God loves Springtime
Surely that must be the reason

One Sweet Day

Isn't the Lord's love wonderful?

One Sweet Day

No matter if I walk on the hills or valleys
My Savior will walk every where with me
He guides my pathway onward to Heaven
His beautiful city that one day I shall see

He is a friend who cheers my ever day
His love puts joy deep within my soul
I will never be alone, He is ever with me
I shall never forget that He is in control

Love Him because He loves everyone
Even the drunk that lives on the street
He knows even his life can be changed
If one day the Holy Spirit he does meet

No matter what sins he has done before
Jesus died to wash the sins of man away
If he confesses to God and he believes
Heaven will be his home one sweet day

Arms Of Jesus

It is a nasty rainy day today. Yesterday was great so I can't complain about that. God is giving seeds a drink of water so they will be ready for Spring. May God bless you.

Arms Of Jesus

To enter into God's great Kingdom
There are things that you must do
No special passes are given to us
To the Holy Spirit we must be true

Ask and He will take away our sins
No matter what past things you did
He died upon that cross for us all
Listen and follow what He does bid

If you believe and heed His words
His Kingdom will be waiting for you
He will welcome you home to Glory
Up there where the sky is ever Blue

When that trumpet sounds for us
Will you be ready to meet the call
Then be safe in the arms of Jesus
From which He will never let us fall

Visions Of His Kingdom

Though there is so much troubles in the world today, seek comfort in our Lord.

Visions Of His Kingdom

His love brings joy into my heart
To my Savior I give praise daily
Visions of His Kingdom I dream
His mansions filled with beauty

Share a thought with our Savior
He will show the right and way
Never give doubt to His promise
Listen with a pure heart today

He can ease all your troubles
Take each and every sin away
Free your mind of the old devil
God listens every time you pray

Let Him know you so love Him
Ask and He will talk with you
Find out He is our great Savior
Believe in Him and be saved too

So Special

It is a lovely Sunday afternoon here in Southern Ohio. It seemed like a good time to reflect on the feelings that God gives to us. I hope you might get some of the feelings I felt while writting this poem.
May God bless you.
Acie

So Special

As the days keep right on moving along
Precious thoughts of Jesus fill my head
Comfort and peace He brings to my mind
Happiness replaces what once was dread

I sing praises to His Holy name every day
His love for us is great and grows each day
He died on that old rugged cross for us all
Study the Bible for it will show you His way

Seek and find the voice of our great Savior
Listen and obey everything He has to say
Feel the Holy spirit that He gives unto you
Know that you will walk with Him one day

When the gates open up there in Heaven
I want to be there to see the land eternal
What happiness and joy we will see there
God has made this place for us so special

Faded and Gone

Although I know I don't have that many years remaining, it hurts to see what is happening to the land of the free. Our country seems to be sliding down a pathway of destruction and few people seem to care.
Acie

Faded And Gone

We see our country's workforce dwindling
I now wonder what our future might bring
Seems as everthing we buy is foreign made
Our economy certainly is feeling the sting

What has happened to us must be greed
How do they think we can buy without a job
Most of the big stores are buying from China
At one time it was a country we used to snob

We know bickering will not solve the problem
There are many things that we should do
Getting back to ideas that made this country
We need to bring God back in our lives too

Too bad some have lost the religious principle
A thought this great country was founded on
If the powers to be don't wake up very soon
They will find our country has faded and gone

God Is Everything

We have had some high winds the past couple of days. Many people lost their power. We are lucky we have a natural gas generator that keeps our power on. Last night it flickered a couple of time but never went off.
Thank our wonderful God no injuries happened as far as I know. Just material damage.
I just finished a new poem. I hope it has some meaning to you.
Acie

God Is Everything

I often sit and think of the days gone bye
I also wonder what the future might bring
Each day I strive to do the very best I can
One thing I know is that God is everything

Through the years something was lacking
I had often wondered just what it might be
Then one day He came into my bland life
His love and compassion had entered me

He has walked and has talked to me daily
He tells me of that glorious land in the sky
Where we will all gather on that bright day
His only Son died for us now I know why

Today I thank Him for this beautiful feeling
Knowing He entered my heart with His love
Bringing to me comfort and ease of my mind
Sent to me from God's Kingdom high above

Forever Blue

It is a beautiful morning here in Southern Ohio. After snow and ice the past couple of weeks it looks like it might get a bit warmer. I can hardly wait until Spring gets here. I guess what I like about spring is it seems as if everything comes alive. Beautiful flowers, and it seems like a different aroma in the air. God Bless

Forever Blue

On this picture perfect February morning
A brilliant Sun lights up the Eastern sky
Melting frost that was painted last nigh
tSoon Spring will cause the Winter to die

Beautiful Spring will bring us the flowers
Our hills will come alive with Green trees
I know God made Spring after the Winter
To make it warm after the Winter's freeze

He carefully planned each of the seasons
A time to plant the crops and a time to reap
A time to store what is needed in the Winter
Knowing what we will eat and what to keep

There is a cycle of life for all our foodstuffs
Unlike that life that God gave to each man
Only one life shall we have here on Earth
But God has given us an everlasting plan

If you believe and trust in our dear Savior
An eternal life He has there waiting for you
Up there in the land that is called Heaven
There where the skies will be forever blue
