Thank You Lord

Thank you Lord for YourGrace and Mercy.

Thank You for Your Strength and Courage

You stand beside me always and

in times of trouble my guide and defender.
My teacher, who gives wisdom

Lovingly leading me down this path

that is Your will.

The Mighty Counselor. 
Thank you Lord for this Man of God

My best friend to share this life.

I thank You for sweet sleep

Resting in Your loving arms
Restoration for this body and mind

Peace and contentment so precious

and priceless. 

Only found in Your glorious presence.
Thank You Lord for Your light that

drowned out the darkest void in my soul

flooding my hardened heart and 

tearing down the binding pain of days past.
Thank You Lord for a second chance

To be who You made me to be

The child of The One True King!

First Impression

Forming opinions with just one glimpse.Sizing up how she looks.

Ragged shoes. dirty dress

Wrinkled, aged skin screaming

Out in distress.

A lifetime of stress, you guess.
Walking away, You just can’t stay.

There’s nothing for you here.

It’s too late for her.

You must move on.
One last look back,

Leaves you shaken to the core!

Connecting directly eye to eye,

You see something different this time.
A lifetime of wisdom and experience,

Joy and pain.

Beautiful light shining so bright

Those eyes draw you back.
Forgetting all of the outside.

Judgement gone.

Learning there’s value in everyone.
