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
