POEM (I'm Thankful)


I'm Thankful

I'm thankful for so many things,
I cannot count them all,
I'm thankful for each season sent
With blessings great and small.

I'm thankful for the robin's song,
Oh, how it cheers me so,
I'm thankful for the sacred text
Tha helps my faith to grow.

For home, family and friends,
For measure of good health,
I'm thankful for the freedom's land
That I treasure more than wealth.

For harvest yield year after year,
Rich bounty from God's hand,
For grain and fruit and vegetables
Sold at the country stand.

I'm thankful for the kindly folk
I meet along life's way,
Who always seem to find the time
To brighten someone's day.

So many things I'm thankful for,
Too amny to recall,
I'm thankful to our God above,
The Giver of them all.

Kay Hoffman


Deuteronomy  28:3-6 (NLT)
(3) Your towns and your fields
will be blessed.
(4) Your children and your crops
will be blessed.
The offspring of your herds and
flocks
will be blessed.
(5) Your fruit baskets and
breadboards
will be blessed.
(6) Wherever you go and whatever
you do,
you will be blessed.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT (Transition)



Everyone...
I previously posted that
this site would be making a transition
within the next few days...

My intentions were to make
it more accessable to those
who were having a bit of
difficulty reaching this site
because they were led to the song,
which is by the same title.

Unfortunately, just as the final arrangments
were being put into place ---
ALL the data, the design, posts, etc.
for the new site
were LOST!!!

The Holy Spirit is what led me 
to start this site so...
 taking this as a sign from the Lord,
apparently it isn't HIS WILL that this
site be transitioned to another site.

Although, you'll find
the design here is
slightly updated with a photo
and a new app
has been added.

The status update is now visible
to those interested in
how many viewers this site is receiving.
You may find this on the right side
of the page just below
"About Me".

Thank you all for bearing with me.

Love and Blessings!
~One Love~

PRAYER FOR EASTER


Easter Prayer for Renewal

Lord, send me a surprise.
One that catches me off guard
and makes me wonder.
Like Easter.

Send me a Resurrection
when everything looks dead and buried.
Send me light
when the night seems too long.

Send me Spring
when the cold and frozen season
seems endless

Send me an idea
when my mind is empty.
Send me a thing to do
when I am just waiting around

Send me a new friend
when I am alone.
Send me peace
when I'm afraid.

Send me a future
when it looks hopeless.
Send me Your Resurrection
when I die, Jesus
Amen.

--Rev. Dr. Herbert Brokering


POEM (Everyday Is Easter)


Everyday Is Easter

"Easter comes but once a year,"
So many people say,
But to a person saved from sin,
It's Easter every day!

A man when saved or "born again,"
His life to Christ will give,
And as a new-born babe in Christ,
He's just begun to live.

"I am The Resurrection and The Life,"
The Savior one day said;
"And he, believing in My Word,
Shall live though he be dead."

And that well known Apostle Paul,
In Philippi made plain;
"For me to live in Jesus Christ, 
For me to die is gain."

So when the Blood of Christ, Our Lord,
Redeems a soul from sin;
Every day is Easter,
For Jesus lives within!

THE GREATEST BLESSINGS AND NEWS
THE WORLD EVER RECEIVED
CAME FROM A GRAVEYARD NEAR JERUSALEM!

Praying everyone has a very wonderful Easter filled with
the Love and Presence of Our Savior, Jesus Christ
and Our Heavenly Father, Almighty God.

Love and Blessings to all! Shalom!
~One Love~




 

About the Easter Lily



Blessed Resurrection Cross

Easter Lily
Symbolic of a Resurrection

For  many,  the beautiful
trumpet --- shaped  white
flowers symbolize purity,
virtue,  innocence,   hope
and  life  ---  the  spiritual
essencence  of  Easter.   History,  mythology,  literature,
poetry and the world  of  art  are  filled  with  stories  and
images   that  speak  of  the  beauty  and  majesty  of  the
elegant white flowers. Dating back to  Biblical  times,  the
lily is  mentioned  on  numerous  occasions.  One of  the
most  famous  Biblical  references is the  Sermon  on the
Mount,  when  Christ  told His  listeners;  "Consider  the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do
they    spin;    and    yet  ...
Soloman   in   all  his glory
was  not  arrayed  like  one
of   these."    Once   called
the "white-robed   apostles
of  hope, lilies were  found
growing   in    the   Garden
of      Gethsemane      after
Christ's   agony.  Tradition
has  it  that  the    beautiful
white    lilies   sprung    up
where   drops  of  Christ's
sweat  fell  to  the  ground
in    His   final   hours  of
sorrow   and   deep   dis-
tress.     Churches   con-
tinue    this   tradition   at
Easter  time  by  banking
their    altars   and    sur-
rounding   their   crosses
with  masses   of   Easter
Lilies,  to  commemorate
the Resurrection of Jesus
Christ   and  hope of  life
everlasting.
