I Love You More

I love you mommy" he said. "I love you more" said I.


So on we challenged with love and game, and on did the years go by.



Toddler became an adolescent and adolescent became the teen.

Patience, understanding and sacrifice were harder than it had seemed.



But what a special blessing each year that brought some pain;

along with that came lessons not only to him, but to myself did gain.



I learned a lot about myself, that I had never known.

I learned that I had convictions and that I had seeds to sow.



In keeping with my convinctions I found myself on rocky a turrain,

That is with him who did not understand the reasonings and believed all I said was lame.



But I will be strong in my convictions and my voice shall continue to be heard;

no matter if he thinks unfair, wild, crazy or absurd.



Because the truth of the matter, and this is indeed the score...

The truth is I will be there if you fall, and as always, I love you more!

The Beauty Within

I wish you could see the beauty within,

I wish you could see what God does, my friend;

Inside you heart where the Spirit dwells,
Has been covered by lies that the enemy tells;

Lies of who you are and who God designed you to be;
Yes lies that you believe. How I wish you could see!

Before you speak lowly of yourself,
Do me a favor. Put that enemy on the shelf!

Put in its place, the light of the Lord;
Do not live another day by the sword.

Careful the words that you say,
For they have much power much to your dismay.

Be kind to yourself and to others you meet;
Delight yourself in the Lord and soon you will see.

Be obedient in God and forgiving, you see;
For this is truly what allows you to be set free.

On this journey that we call life,
There will always be some trouble and strife.

But take comfort in knowing that even though we all have sinned;
That God’s promises are true, and the Light shone the beauty within!

In One God I Entrust

I thank Thee for this day.
I know that whatever may come my way,
I will entrust those things that matter most
to the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

All my worries and woes are heard on high;
It is Your precious love I can not deny.

In one God I will entrust my family and friends;
and I will thank him for forgiving my sins.

Yes, I entrust all those that are so dear
to the One God who is always near.

I trust you Oh God with the things that matter most
and I give them to You dear Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
