God's Gifts
Submitted by Julia TownsendGod gave us the seasons
--
each with its own beauty and reason,
each meant to bring us a blessing,
a joy, and a feeling of love.
God gave us
dreams --
each with its own secret,
each sent to give us feelings of
inspiration, hope, and tranquility.
God gave us the
sunshine,
the rainbows and the rain,
the beauty and freedom of nature
to teach us the wisdom of gentle acceptance.
God gave us
miracles
in our hearts and lives,
little things that happen
to remind us we're alive.
God gave us the
ability
to face each new day
with courage, wisdom,
and a smile from knowing
that whatever sorrow or pain we face,
He abides with us
securely in our hearts.
Most of all, God
gave us friends
to teach us about love
and guide us through this world,
always available to help us forward
towards a greater understanding
and a greater sharing and giving
of love.

HOW TO FLY
by Blanton Pierre
Hardy
(See more poetry at this link)Fear thou not; for I am
with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I
will strengthen the; yea, I will help thee; yea,
I will uphold thee with the right hand of my
righteousness.
Isaiah 41:10
Hey rockin
robin, why don't you fly? Has the drugs and booze
of this world got you down so that you won't even
try?
Hey little
eagle, why don't you soar? School got you down so
that it's impossible to explore?
Hey little
buzzard why don't you glide? Has religion got you
down so that you can't
..um
.electric
slide?
Hey little
parrot, why don't your wings flap? Do the
arrogant attitudes of people cause you not to fly
Anywhere on the map?
Hey little
cuckoo, why don't you move? Has the sex and lust
got you so that you can't move?
Hey little bee,
why don't you swoop? If it wasn't for that anger
in your heart, you would loop de loop.
Hey little
mosquito, why don't you go higher? Soar past what
this world says a man or woman should require.
Hey little
ladybug, why do you climb? Be original, because
you are in your prime.
Hey little
tweety, why don't you wing it? Have faith little
bird, got love and swing it.
Hey little fly,
why not take flight? If the Word is in your heart
you can do everything at this height.
Hey little
goose, where are your feathers? The rain of
judgmental eyes can get you much wetter.
Hey little owl,
why you in the air? Is it what they say about you
so you won't dare?
Hey little bird,
why are you standing still? The world is about to
end this is no time to chill.
There are
heights that you can climb that soar above
everything you could ever possibly imagine. Ideas
that rock nations. Through Christ Jesus and your
own creative imagination you can reach those
Heights. So soar, get an education, and fly like
Jordan.
Remember to ask
Jesus into your mind, heart, and soul so he can
regulate.
In Jesus Christ
name I pray that you have the most blessed of
days. Peace out.
