Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden!
Happy New Year's Eve

TOMORROW IS A NEW START
Lord, if you feed the sparrows
Help me to see...
That I need not worry,
You will take care of me.

If I'm walking through a valley
And the path seems obscure,
Help me to look up...
And know that You are near.

Lord, if you forgive each sinner
And I am among the lot,
Help to to realize...
I have the forgiveness that I sought.

As I look back upon this year,
If there are regrets that I see...
I know tomorrow is a brand new start
And a new, clean slate for me!

Through the darkest night.

When this life is through,
A steadfast heart,
To be with You!

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"
Genesis 1:1

CREATION SHOUTS
Creation shouts
Of an intelligent design.
Creation shouts,
Beauty so divine.

Creation shouts,
You're not here by happenstance.
Creation shouts,
Nothing is by chance.

Creation Shouts,
It was a miraculous hand
That put the moon and stars
In the heavenly strand.

Creation shouts,
Each night and day
As season follows season
In a continuous way.

Creation shouts
And one day it shall be
That to the Creator
All will bow a knee!

"I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:20

DOES MY PERSPECTIVE MATTER?
God, does my perspective matter?
Do You care what I think or feel?
Do You abandoned me,
When I doubt You're real?

God, does my perspective matter?
When my heart is breaking,
Do You care about...
My suffering and aching?

In the stillness of the night,
I hear You call to me,
Yes, I do care...
I sorrow with thee!

I come to dry your tears
And minister to you
I am with you always,
In everything you do!

Welcome to my Garden:
This is an olive wood nativity ornament that I picked up in
Bethlehem... a reminder that God gave us His best!

GIVE GOD YOUR BEST
Give God the first,
Not the last.
Give God your future,
Not your past.

Give God some time
Each and every day.
Give God your all,
Your will and your way.

Give God your sins
As you go to Him in prayer.
Give God your faith,
Believing He is there.

Give God your best,
As He gave to thee,
For He gave His best
To you and to me!

Seek Him...
Make Him first, not last!

Welcome to my Garden!
This is some Carolers, my cousin Phyllis Anderson,
gave me one year. I set them out each Christmas.

I LOVE THE CHRISTMAS SONGS
I love the Christmas songs,
About sleigh-bells and the snow.
I love to hear them all...
Sung so sweet and low.

I love the Christmas songs,
Of the shepherds and angels on high,
When I hear each song,
I listen with a contented sigh.

I love the Christmas songs
The new and the old,
The dear familiar carols
Of the Christ Child retold.

I love the Christmas songs
About a star that shinned on that little town
And a King that was born
In a manger, without a crown!

Welcome to my Garden!

Yesterday I finished trimming my tree. I always take a trip down memory lane
when I trim the tree!

TRIMMING THE CHRISTMAS TREE
It is time once again...
To trim the Christmas tree,
And so many memories
Come flooding back to me.

Ornaments, from trips I've made,
A manger scene from Bethlehem
And a Santa Claus...
From some German town.

A lot of ornaments...
From friends and family,
I remember each one,
As I place them on the tree.

Some, are old and faded,
From our first Christmas,
Some, lovingly handmade,
That the kids and grandkids gave us.

Each one is very special
And as I place it on the tree,
I'm so thankful to God...
For the love and friendships He's given me!

WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW
When you don't know
What  you should say,
Then just be silent,
But show up anyway.

When you don't know
What you should do,
Just give a big hug
And people will accept you.

When you don' know
For what you should pray,
Just talk to God,
He'll be your stay.

When you don't know
Which way to go,
Take hold of God's hand,
Your way he will show!

Welcome to my Garden!
Gifts overflow at Christmas in homes across the land.
But we are called to give in other ways as well.

WE'RE CALLED TO GIVE
We're called to give,
Not only money, but time.
We're called to give,
To be wholly Thine.

We're called to give
Love and a smile.
We're called to give,
By walking that extra mile.

We're called to give
Forgiveness to all.
We're called to give,
A hand when others fall.

We're called to give,
Our lives to His cause.
We're called to give,
Without reason or pause.

We're called to give,
It's God's request.
We're called to give,
For He gave His best!

A good poem for today... Today is Pearl Harbor Day!

A FORGIVING HEART
Father please,
Give me a forgiving heart
May Your love...
From me, not depart.

Father please,
Make me humble, like You.
Show me just....
What I should do.

Father please,
When people are harsh to me
May it be....
Your face I see.

Father please,
When I've been betrayed
And forgiveness is hard,
Be there when I'm afraid.

Father please,
From me release,
Bitterness and hatred
And give me peace.

Taken from 1 Corinthians 13

OUTRAGEOUS LOVE
Outrageous love...
How can it be
God cares so much
For you and me?

Outrageous love...
Keeps no record of wrong
Always forgives,
Is always strong.

Outrageous love...
Is patient and kind,
Will now and forever
Have you in mind.

Outrageous love...
Does not envy or boast,
Will not be rude
And protects the most.

Outrageous love...
Went to the cross,
To show the world
It will save the loss!

AN OLD WOMAN'S PRAYER
Father, I am old,
But I m still Your child;
My footsteps are not as sure,
As they were for awhile.

Father, I am old,
I've seen many years.
I have had some hardships
And I've shed a few tears.

Father, I am old,
But I'm thankful everyday,
You still walk beside me,
Guiding my way.

But my heart is very young
And my praise and song to You
Is ever on my tongue!

MENDED HEARTS
God is a specialist
In mending hearts,
But you must give to Him
All the broken parts.

In lives that are shattered,
His touch will soon mend
Souls that are tattered.

When betrayed by a friend,
His love knits lives back together
On this you can depend.

In making all things new
And He will be there
To mend your heart for you!

This is our granddaughter Katie. We call her our miracle.
She was born 3 months premature and weighed 1 pound and 15 ounces.
She is now a beautiful 17 year old and a senior in High School.

MIRACLES
Miracles...
happen everyday.
Oh yes....
Many come your way.

The miracle
Of a child that is born.
The miracle of power
That you see in a storm.

The miracle
Of a canyon so grand.
The miracle,
The sea stops at the edge if the sand.

The miracle,
Of the body... machine
And miracles that happen,
Those that are unseen.

The unfolding of a flower
At the same time each night.
The metamorphosis of a butterfly,
And its beauty in flight.

God gives us miracles,
But the greatest is LOVE
And His wonderful promise
Of heaven above!

But I have lived my life,

This is Dominic, Our church secretary, Brenda Bolanis' son.
She is certainly teaching by example , Dominic and his older
sister, Bernadette, often come to the church building with her
and help out around the building. I love the expression of wonder
on his face.

TEACHING BY EXAMPLE
I would rather see a sermon,
Than hear one, some will say,
So what are you preaching
To the world day by day?

By their fruits you will know them
The "Good Book," doth say,
What fruits are you producing,
As you go along life's way?

The life that you live
Will be reflected on your face,
Will others see forgiveness
And see mercy and see grace?

We teach by example
And one thing we must keep in mind,
Others follow in our footsteps
And will live their lives in kind!

LET'S MAKE A DEAL
"Let's make a deal,"
Some people will say.
But God does not deal
Any month, any day.

When we're in a pickle,
When we're in a jam,
We want to bargain
With the "Great I AM."

When we are poorly
And sick as can be,
We say, "Please heal me,
And I'll follow Thee."

May we say like the children
In the old fiery furnace
Though He may not heal me,
We'll follow in earnest.

And like Job, his good servant,
Though feeling quite grim,
Said, 'though He may slay me,
I'll still follow Him!"

Life is like a rose... there are thorns among the roses

LIFE IS NEVER EASY
Life is never easy,
Being born is hard to do;
You struggle to enter the world
And you struggle through life too.

Life is never easy,
Growing up, brings with it pain,
You learn from your mistakes,
Knowing you have much to gain.

Life is never easy,
Loving the unloving is hard to do
It is far much easier
To love those you love you too.

Life is never easy,
Standing up for what is right
While others seem not to care
And fail to join the fight.

Life is never easy,
But than it was not meant to be,
Here we must not get too comfortable
For this is not heaven you see!

Will be our delight.

The green pastures of peace
When we kneel in prayer.
Green pastures of peace
Knowing God's always there!

RELIGION FOR THE COMMON MAN
Religion for the common man
Is why Jesus came to earth,
Why He left His home in heaven
For a lowly, humble birth.

He came not to the Pharisees
Or to the houses grand,
He followed not the Sadducees,
But dwelled among the common man.

He had no use for palaces
Or for wealth of fame;
He touched the untouchable,
This is way He came.

He held no high office,
He had no impressive degree
And it was to the common man,
He said, "come follow Me"

THE VALLEYS OF LIFE
The valleys of life
Come to us all
And in the midst of the pain
We listen for God's call.

The valleys of life,
 Our steps are unsure
And our burdens are heavy
And our life is not secure.

In the valleys of life.
We must all walk, you see,
For it is in the valleys
That God will shape you and me.

In the valleys of life
Our faith will will grow strong
And when we reach the mountain top
We can sing the victor's song!

Welcome to my Garden!

The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking
for fine pearls. When he found one of great price he
he sold everything he had and bought it.
Matthew 13, 45-46

PEARL OF GREAT PRICE
What is your pearl of great price?
What are you searching for,
Is it fortune or fame,
Or some distant star?

What pearl of great price,
Is your constant dream?
What do you work for?
What do you slave for,
Or perhaps even scheme?

What pearl of great price,
Is in your master plan?
Would you sell all you own
To have it in your command?

What pearl of great price?
I pray it shall be...
The pearl of God;s wisdom,
That's most thrilling to thee!

THE NOISE OF THE WORLD
The noise of the world,
Will clamor in your ear.
The noise of the world,
Drowns what God wants you to hear.

The noise of the World,
Will entice you away.
The noise of the world,
Keep in mind, is here to stay.

The noise of the world,
Has a very false ring.
The noise of the world,
Only emptiness it will bring.

The noise of the world
Can't out-shout God's call, you see,
If you listen for His voice,
It will be heard by thee!
