 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." -- 2 Timothy 1:7 --  NEAR THE END Some wait for peace and safety Some will rumor of war Some continue their busy life Its business as before When we think there's peace and safety Sudden destruction comes Until Satan is cast into the pit Keep looking up for the "Son" We are told what to watch for These things we'll surely see As they begin to happen The "End" will shortly be Evil times will rule the day Lust and violence will be the way Fornication, tribulations Stress and strife, stabbing with knives Kill your brother, dishonor father and mother Lie and steal, cheat and deal Money and greed take the lead Prayer haters, church evaders Disasters in the news, lukewarm Christians in the pews Unnatural affection, Christ rejections Adultery up, marriages down Racial hate all around The antichrist takes his place The whole world lies in waste "Jesus" comes to gather "His" own Then there's peace in our heavenly home Copyright, Patricia Lackey (1992) patricia@sunco.com (Patricia) AWESOME DELIVERANCE which took place on March 27th, 1999. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/3634/pat.html Be blessed as you dare to walk in His footsteps.

His voice gives direction where the roads have washed out. He provides opportunities to see HIM at work, for: Where there is hopelessness, HE IS HOPE. Where there is sorrow, HE IS COMFORT. Where there is strive, HE IS PEACE. Where there is agony, HE IS RELIEF. by Trudy V. '99 ferryman@reach.net (Trudy Veerman S.S.W., C.P.C.) NO FOOTPRINTS I've listened to the "footprints" poem a million times or more Of how when only one set shows upon the sandy shore It is the Lord carrying us and taking on our load And His are the only set of footprints that showed. But what if when we look there are no footprints to be found? All we see is plain and simple sand upon the ground. No imprints showing that our Lord is carrying us through life Helping us when we feel we cannot handle all this strife. Where is my Lord now that I've fallen and can't seem to get back up? So tired and lonely trying to deal with what seems an overflowing cup. Where are those footprints in the sand to tell me He's right there? Helping me with problems and showing that He really does care. Does He have favorites, OH NO, please tell me that's not so! By why does life seem easier for some people that I know? And sometimes I just scream out loud although it seems in vain, but often it gets harder each day to deal with all this pain. And then it dawned on me as I realize how simple could it be. I wonder why I was so blind that I truly did not see. It must have been a lightning bolt that one day gave me light, Cause out of the clear blue sky, I finally regained my sight. I saw a fluffy white cloud shaped like an Angel dear. That helped me to understand and see things oh so clear, That when I saw no footprints and so often wondered why, My Lord carried me on Angel wings, when He decided to fly. Copyright LyndyAngel@aol.com 1998 PHENOMENAL WOMAN Pretty women wonder where my secret lies I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion size But when I start to tell them They think I'm telling lies. I say It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips The stride of my steps The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please And to a man The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees Then they swarm around me A hive of honey bees. I say It's the fire in my eyes And the flash of my teeth The swing of my waist And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenal woman That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say It's in the arch of my back The sun of my smile The ride of my breasts The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say It's in the click of my heels The bend of my hair The palm of my hand The need for my care. 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me. Send this to 5 phenomenal women today in celebration of Women's History Month. Did you know.... There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels and ONLY 3 WHO DO. Marilyn Monroe wore a SIZE 12. If Barbie were a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions. The average American woman weighs 144 lbs. and wears between a size 12 and 14. If shop mannequins were real women, THEY'D BE TOO THIN TO MENSTRUATE. One out of every 4 college aged women has an eating disorder. The models in the magazines are airbrushed - THEY'RE NOT PERFECT! A psychological study in 1995 found that 3 minutes spent looking at models in a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty and shameful. Models who twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman, today weigh 23% less. Please send this to every woman you know. If you don't, nothing bad will happen, but if you do, something good will. You will boost someone's self-esteem! By Maya Angelou from her book of the same name. HEAVEN AND EARTH What if ...? God couldn't take the time to Bless us today because we could not take the time to thank Him yesterday. What if ...? God decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we didn't follow him today. What if ...? We never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent the rain. What if ...? God stopped loving and caring for us because we failed to love and care for others. What if ...? God took away his message because we failed to listen to his messenger. What if ...? God didn't send His only begotten Son because He wanted us to be prepared to pay the price of sin. What if ...? The door to the church was closed because we did not open the door of our hearts. What if ...? God would not hear us today because we would not listen to Him yesterday. What if ...? God answered our prayers the way we answer His call to service. What if ...? God met our needs the way we give Him our lives ... Anonymous HE IS His smile is loving and kind. His touch ... tender and firm. He'll direct you when the roads have washed out. He'll give you opportunities to see HIM at work, for: Where there is hopelessness, HE IS HOPE Where there is sorrow, HE IS COMFORT. Where there is agony, HE IS RELIEF. Where there is strife, HE IS PEACE. Copyright trudy Veerman, S. S. W./C. P. C. http://welcome.to/counselor or http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/3634 WILL YOU BRING YOUR UMBREALLA? One summer, a drought threatened the crop in a small town. On a hot and dry Sunday, the village parson told his congregation, "There isn't anything that will save us except to pray for rain. Go home, pray, believe, and come back next Sunday ready to thank God for sending rain." The people did as they were told and returned to church the following Sunday. But as soon as the parson saw them, he was furious. "We can't worship today. You do not yet believe," he said. "But," they protested, "we prayed, and we do believe." "Believe?" he responded. "Then where are your umbrellas? Some people have left their umbrellas at home. They are merely hoping their wishes and prayers will bear fruit. Others bring their umbrellas with them. They expect and believe their dreams and desires will come to pass." Today, how will you approach that for which you are yearning? Will you expect your prayers and work to bring about results? Will you bring your umbrella? - Author Unknown - GOD, ARE YOU REAL? The little child whispered, "God, speak to me" and a meadowlark sang But the child did not hear. So the child yelled "God, speak to me" And the thunder rolled across the sky But the child did not listen. The child looked around and said, :God, let me see you" And a star shone brightly But the child did not notice. And the child shouted, "God, show me miracle" And a life was born. But the child did not know. So, the child cried out in dispair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are there" Whereupon God reached down and touched the child. But the child brushed the butterfly away ... and walked away unknowingly. Anonymous TODAY: PERSPECTIVE "I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have. Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free. Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste. Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive. Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born. Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses. Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new job relationships. Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to go to! Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with knowledge and adventure. Today I can dejectedly murmur because I have housework to do or I can feel grateful for shelter for my mind, body and soul. Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped, and here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to me. And I shall decide what kind of day I shall have!" Now, how will you live THIS DAY? Author unknown FORGIVEN Into the darkness I will not fall, Because of Jesus Christ. He gave his life for my sins. His life, he sacrificed. As I bow my head in prayer Every word of it he hears. Deep within my mind I can almost see his tears. I felt his arms around my soul I felt the soft embrace I saw the awesome beauty of his elegance and grace He said to me, "Dear Child, of you I've always known. Forgiven are the seeds of sin in your life you've sown If ever you are lonely, If ever you are lost Remember me, the man who shed his blood upon the cross Together we will go in life Together hand in hand Until I bring you home again to the Promised Land." Copyright, Lynette Broggi 3/3/1999 TO THINK ABOUT The oldest, shortest words - yes and no - are those which require the most thought. It's hard to pretend that you love someone if you don't, but it's harder to pretend that you don't love someone if you really do. Don't be afraid to break someone's heart or have your heart broken because that's how relationships are; they are stepping stones for the main one. God will never leave you empty. If something is taken away, God will replace it with something better. If She/he asks you to put something down, it is so you can pick up something greater. Love hurts when you break up with someone. It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you. But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their hearts but if it doesn't, be contented it grew in yours. There is no such thing as ideal man/woman. There is no such thing as ideal love. You just fall in love and nothing seems to matter anymore; everything just turns out perfectly. Love is when you look back on all your great memories and find out that the one you least expect to fall in love with becomes the man of your dreams. If you think it's time to let go, just let go, there's no point in looking back at what you have just lost, for the road of life was never meant to be traveled backwards. Only as high as you reach can you grow ... only as far as you seek can you go ... only as deep as you look can you see ... only as much as you dream can you be. Once the package of friendship has been opened, it can never be closed. It is a constant book always written, waiting to be read and enjoyed. When we get hurt, it is one way that God is telling us that not all that is painful is bad or wrong. We get hurt so we never hurt others the way we were hurt. Don't ask for fulfillment in all your life, but for patience to accept frustration. Don't ask to have your life's load lightened, but for wisdom not to repeat mistakes. - Author Unknown - THE FACE IN THE GLASS When you get what you want in your struggle for self, And the world makes you king for a day, Just go to a mirror and look at yourself And see what that face has to say. For it isn't your father or mother or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass, The person whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. Some people might think you're a straight-shootin' chum And call you a great gal or guy, But the face in the glass says you're only a bum If you can't look it straight in the eye. That's the one you must please, never mind all the rest, That's the one with you clear to the end, And you know you have passed your most dangerous test, If the face in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you've cheated the face in the glass. - Author Unknown - THE FLOW OF LIFE If the sky above seems cloudy, And you're left out in the rain, If you're searching for a rainbow, But the colors bring you pain, If your world is not revolving, And there is no end in sight, If you're looking for the sunshine, But all you see is night, If all around are smiling, But all you can do is frown, If you're tired of all this living, When life just brings you down Then Look beyond your teardrops, At the wonders of this land, The beauty of a flower, Like velvet in your hand, Feel the air around you, The smell of new mown hay, Laughing children in the park, Their innocence at play, Imagine Floating with a butterfly, As she flutters between the trees, Or the whispers of the ocean, On warm hot summer's breeze, Think of the taste of candy floss, As it melts upon your tongue, Or the melody of morning birds, As they greet each day with song, Remember words of beauty, Told in your mother's embrace, Feel the gentleness of her touch, As she softly kissed your face, Seek the good within you, Cast the clouds from your sky, Don't look toward the pavement, But hold your head up high, Think not what life owes you, But at all you have to give, Forget about tomorrow, Then you can start to live, So Bless this age you're living, With the gifts you can bestow, Don't disregard the stream of life, Go gently with the Flow! - Author Unknown - WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see, when the sun will rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you. Each time you think of me, just know I'll miss you too. When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. He said my place was ready in Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love. As I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad. I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had. If I could relive just yesterday, even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, that it could never be, emptiness and memories, would take the place of me. And when my thoughts were of the world I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. Then I walked through Heaven's gates and felt so much at home. God looked down and smiled at me from his golden throne, He said, "This is eternity, and this is now your home. Today your life on Earth is past, and here it starts anew. There is no tomorrow, today will always last, since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. You've been faithful, so trusting and so true, and sometimes you did some things you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free, So won't you take my hand and share eternity with Me"? So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your Heart - Author Unknown - IT'S BETWEEN YOU AND GOD ... People are often unreasonable, Illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, You will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, Someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, They may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, People will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, And it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, It is between you and God; It never was between you and them anyway. - Author Unknown - I would like to thank my friend, OLDFASHLVR@aol.com for always trying to find me new inspirational poetry.
