Crumbs ~
Crumbs,
morsels of hope
for us to spread
all over the globe.
Crumbs,
little bits of peace
for us to scatter
and daily release.
Crumbs,
scrapes of light
for us to sow
to give new sight.
Crumbs,
shreds of what we believe
so the Good News
others can receive.
Crumbs,
put them all together
oh what a great harvest
we could truly gather!

Out On The Streets ~
Church isn’t just a place,
for us to gather and meet
nor is it the only roof
for the unsaved to greet.
For outside its walls,
is a world that’s awaiting
and the Kingdom of God . .
we need to be proclaiming.
Church isn’t just a place,
where you go once a week
nor is it the only roof
for the lost to find and seek.
For outside its doors,
are people needing to know
and the Life, Truth and Way
we need to live and show.
Church isn’t just a place,
for us to gather and meet
the real church of Jesus . . .
is out there on the street!

and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the

Holding Fast ~
Lord, help me to hold fast,
give me the stability
to grasp onto my faith
with grace and humility.
Help me to be steadfast,
give me quiet persistence
let me not grow weary
when I meet resistance.
Lord, help me to be firm.
so that I will not waiver
let me cling to the hope
You are my found Savior.
Help me to be secure,
keep me peacefully steady
with encouraging words
let me always be ready.
Lord, help me to hold fast,
to the trust in You I’ve found
keep me calmly resilient . . .
in spreading my faith around!

“And let us not be weary
in well doing:
for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not.”

Save A Life Today ~
You can be a witness,
for our Lord and Savior
by sharing with others
His grace, love and favor.
Your words can be,
a testament to your belief
they can bring to another
a sense of peace and relief.
Your actions can speak,
volumes, if you will
for they can show others
how to wait and be still.
Your praise can display,
your devotion to the Lord
it may help a lost soul
to the truth, get on board.
Your wounds and scars,
can be a testimony
that He who healed them
is real and not a phony.
You can be a witness,
for your Lord and Savior
you can save a life today . . .
by your words and behavior!

“But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost
is come upon you: and ye
shall be witnesses unto me
both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea,
and in Samaria, and unto
the uttermost part of the earth.”

Sowing Seeds of Grace ~
Sow the seeds of grace,
scattered them in the field
let the wind carry them
then watch for the yield.
For, the wind will take them,
to places far and wide
pray as you release them
the Spirit will lead and guide.
Sow the seeds of grace,
out of faith and trust
be not too concerned
if they fly with the gust.
For, as the breeze carries,
these tiny seeds of grace
they will find there is . . .
plenty of open space.
Sow the seeds of grace,
let the wind carry them away
for, you don’t know the heart
they may take root in one day!

Ecclesiastes 11:6
“In the morning sow thy seed,
and in the evening withhold not thine hand:
for thou knowest not whether shall prosper,
either this or that,
or whether they both shall be alike good.”

A Soul Go-Getter ~
Knowing God loves me,
how can you top that?
He always has out for me
His, welcome mat.
Invites me every day,
to fellowship with Him
to worship and adore
with praises and hymns.
Knowing God loves me,
is so very surreal . . .
how to a sinner like me
He made Himself real.
Saved by His mercy,
forgiven with grace
once His Son, Jesus
my heart did embrace.
Knowing God loves me,
it doesn’t get any better
tis why I’ll always be . . .
for Him, a soul go-getter!

The Man and His Dog!
Yesterday ~ I met a man and his dog,
out on the street . . .
he was worn and ragged
said his dog needed a treat.
He scared and alarmed me,
when I said I had nothing to give
he cussed and swore at me
for the life, he had to live.
I quickly walked to my car,
he followed closely after me
screaming and yelling . . .
“Are your eyes to blind to see?”
I started to drive away,
ready to call the police . . .
when a still voice spoke to me
and gave me much peace.
I didn’t have much money,
but I gave it all to the man
and said I was sorry . . .
his troubles I didn’t understand.
I told him about God,
about new life in His Son
where mercy and grace
would undo the sins he’d done.
I don’t know if he heard,
don’t know if he cares
but the man and his dog,
will always be in my prayers!

for love is of God; and every one
that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.”
