Mother's Love

 
I can remember walking down that dusty road
When I was just a child not much older than ten
Walking without any shoes in the Summertime
We were poor but there was happiness back then

I would stub a toe and sometimes it would bleed
I would go home and my mother would bandage it
She was always so gentle and kind with us children
Her heart was with us kids every day, every minute

Mother went to her reward twenty five years ago
I know she is with Lord and Savior up there on high
She watches over me as the rest have also passed
Soon I will join them in that mansion up in the sky

When my work here on Earth is finished and done
I will be called to join my family up there in the air
To spend an eternal life with them in God's Heaven
There forever I will be in my God's protective care

A Loving God

A weathered old barn is still standing
On its side is an aged Mail Pouch sign
It has seen many cold, harsh Winters
It's worth for years has had a decline

When the sign was first painted on her
She was new and so proudly she stood
There were stalls for cattle and horses
A hayloft was made using sturdy wood

Hard times came to the farm suddenly
A devastating drought had hit it one year
With no money to pay for the mortgage
They knew that a foreclosure was near

It was as if God's had blessed that farm
There was a pocket of gas under the sod
Now the farm is making a lot of money
They know it all came from a loving God

Autumn In Southern Ohio

Summer has now past and Autumn has arrived
We see  much beauty in our Southern Ohio hills
Soon the forest will come alive with their colors
With leaves changing with a first frost that kills

So many shades and tints will the leaves show
A kaleidoscope of brilliant colors we shall see
Each leaf will have its own shape and its color
There is a colossal tint of color from each tree

God has blessed this beautiful part of our Ohio
He made so many varieties of the colorful trees
In the peak season many visitors will come here
A wonderful landscape to their eyes will please 

From the hardwoods of Oak, Hickory and Maple
Come some of the most beautiful leaves ever seen
Sometimes it is hard for us to believe these leaves
During the Summer growing season were all Green

Seasons

 
As September sings her swan song
We reflect on the summer that past
A wonderful growing season we saw
A larder through the Winter will last

With rain aplenty the crops did grow
Our Lord has been good to us this year
We thank Him with our sincere prayers
With God we shall ever be free of fear

We now must prepare for the Winter
Some will go to Florida to avoid snow
What kind of a Winter Ohio will have
Is something only our God does know

No matter what Winter will bring to us
In a short time Spring will be in bloom
Then it will be time to plant the crops
Our growing season can then resume

There is a reason for all these seasons
Each has its purpose here on the Earth
From Winter to Summer we will find
Each of the seasons has its own worth

There Is A Way

There will come a day soon
When we are called home
To rest in a great mansion
Never again shall we roam

Life on Earth is temporary
Heaven is an eternal place
There we will see no evil
We will know God's grace

Ever to find true happiness
Under a shelter of His love
Freedom then and forever
In God's Heaven up above

There is a way to get there
It is written in the Holy Book
Pick up your Bible and read
At each word you should look

As I look Back

I still recall those happy days of childhood
When days were slow and time stood still
It seemed as though I would be ten forever
Not realizing I had a lifetime that I must fill

From those young years, my teens followed
Still time went slowly as I was looking ahead
Always there was something I had to wait for
It seemed as if with time I would only tread

Today I can look back to those youthful years
Then I realize how fast this life has sped on by
At eighty three I wonder what will come next
What greater things I still might be able to try

Yes you might say my life has been a full plate
From the spectrum of youth to my now old age
What good I accomplished through these years
I will leave up to our Father in Heaven to gauge

God"s Eternal Care

When we come to the end of life's journey
All of our burdens at last we have laid down
We shall meet God in all His wonderful glory
It is then He will award us a beautiful crown

We will wait until that time when He calls us
Pray that our efforts will be worth His praise
When the trumpet calls us to face our Lord
We will find them to be glorious happy days

He will show us our home there in Heaven
He has spared nothing for our life up there
So much beauty and comfort it shall afford
It's there we shall live in God's eternal care

Believe in God and worship His Holy name 
His kingdom can be yours forever my friend
He will welcome you up to that eternal city
Where you will have a life that can never end

Only Through Jesus

It is through Jesus I will find my way to Heaven
In the Bible it tells us that there is no other way
He died to save us from the sins we committed
When he was put on the wooden cross that day

Although our life on earth is not a perfect one
There will be a day perfection we shall then see
Our Heavenly home will bring us contentment
No ailments or any problems there shall we see

He put us here on Earth as a mortal filled with sin
From this sin filled body we can seek His pardon
He asks that you believe and will follow His word
Then your passage to that eternal life can be won

God created Heaven for He loves all His children
Don't let the old devil cause you to throw it away
Ask God to forgive you of all your transgressions
A home in Heaven shall be yours one bright day

He Changed My Life

As the last breath of life passes from my body
Then I know that my soul will be Heaven bound
For my love of Jesus Christ has erased all my sins
Thank God it was our great Savior that I found

What a warm feeling I have deep in my heart
Knowing He will give me safe passage home
There to see the love ones that I had known
Heaven to spend an eternity never to roam

After a life of what I thought was having fun
I realized only true happiness is knowing God
It was then my life turned, I became a believer
Knowing to Heaven I shall ascend from the sod

My life has changed, I have found contentment
I know these aches and pains are from my age
God is not punishing me for past transgressions
He will write a well done in my books final page

Your New Life

If I should find tomorrow life is over
I shall ascend up to Heaven far above
There to meet Jesus Christ our Savior
I shall know and feel His eternal love

In my heart I get a wonderful feeling
With the knowledge He took on my sin
He shed His blood while on that cross
So that a new life in Heaven can begin

If today you find there are any doubts
Open the Holy Bible and read His word
He and He alone can save your lost soul
Say a prayer to him you shall be heard

Yesterdays mistakes can all be corrected
As Him for forgiveness for all of your sins
They will all be gone and long be forgotten
Heaven will be where your new life begins

This Great Land

From those majestic mountains of Colorado
To the great Smoky mountains of Tennessee
This land is a country that stands for freedom
With God's help that is the way it will ever be

Thirteen states has grown and is now fifty
Many wars have been fought to keep her free
We cannot and we will not let her stumble
This land that is so precious to you and me

It is up to all of us to stand for our rights
Not to cow down and be afraid just a few
This is not the way this country was made
It has guaranteed rights for me and you

So hold your head up and show strength
Never let a few bullies push us around
Our forefathers died to defend this land
So that freedom could always be found

Place We Call Heaven

Because of His great love my days are happy
My fear of this life has gone and passed away
I know some day I shall meet our great Savior
There will be rejoicing on that Hallelujah day

It is written about this place we called Heaven
It is in God's Holy Bible where it can be found
It's a place of contentment we will find forever
No sorrow will be known on God's Holy ground

Past sins were forgiven that day on the cross
When Jesus took our sins if they were His own
Because the penalty for sinning is to be death
He died that evil day with only a muffled groan

If you truly believe in our God and worship Him
One day your home up in Heaven you will find
It is there you will find joy in your heart forever
There will never be a sad thought on your mind

An Eternal Life

One day I shall meet you up yonder
Where no sorrow or sadness can be
God has made a home for all believers
In a land beyond where our eye can see

Up there He has built mansions so fine
Where an eternal life is waiting for us
There to walk streets paved with Gold
With the one who took our sins, Jesus

What a beautiful day there we shall find
When we first enter into that Holy land
There to meet and greet our old friends
While we listen to that Hallelujah band

Never to know a pain or illness up there
Eternally to be by our great Saviors side
God will welcome all those who believe
But He has left that up for you to decide
