Heaven’s Sweepstakes ~

Running out of zip,
got no get up and go
feeling long toothed
more than a bit low?

Got you a lemon,
don’t like lemonade
that light in the tunnel
beginning to fade?

Hanging on by a thread,
starting to unravel
what once brought pleasure
on your nerves now gravel?

The pie in the sky,
has come crashing down
all of your hope and dreams
have run aground?

There’s no need to panic,
to worry yourself sick
there’s coming a new garden
where the thorns don’t prick.

So pull up your sleeves,
and dig yourself right in
the Bible holds the ticket
and heaven sweepstakes you’ll win!

God’s Wonders are All Around ~

God’s wonders are all around,
so many blessings for you to see
just use your imagination . . .
come now take a look with me.

You’ll see one in a sunset,
another when it’s on its rise
casting its beauty upon us
splendor right before our eyes.

You’ll hear one in the finch’s song,
listen to the tune he sings
melodies that takes on flight
soaring high on golden wings.

You’ll smell one in the sweet breeze,
blowing across the garden path
blossoms budding and spilling forth
with the same scents filling up your bath.

You’ll taste one on a Sunday night,
when mom has something in the oven
and the family is gathered all around
to feast on her home cooked lovin.

It’s not too hard to find the blessings,
that comes disguised to us each day
just look past what is expected . . .
and you’ll find them beyond the fray!

Psalm 40:5
King James Version

“Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works
which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward:
they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee:
if I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered.”
