God's Gifts
Submitted by Julia Townsend

God 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.
