Welcome to my Garden!

Do you know Jesus?. We can't sit on the fence...we either accept
Him or reject Him.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

 What about you,
Does Jesus matter at all?
What about you,
Can you on Him call?

What about you,
Do you talk to God each day?
What about you,
Do you let Hm have His way?

What about you,
Do you tell love's, sweet story?
What about you,
Do you give Him the glory?

What about you,
Do you forgive each wrong?
What about you,
Do you to Christ belong?

Welcome to my Garden!
This is  Christmas past cookies. I love to bake so, I like to offer
food gifts to friends and every Christmas I make up several plates to
pass out to neighbors. But I could never out-give God. Salvation is  the
greatest gift the world has ever know and how sad, so many refuse this gift!
"The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

THIS GIFT

This gift...
From God is free.
This gift...
Is for you and me.

This gift...
The world will spurn.
This gift...
They do not discern.

This gift...
came with a cost
This gift...
Went to the cross.

This gift...
Jesus Christ tis He.
This gift...
Offers us eternity!

This is a country road in Arkansas. I love country roads, especially
one I haven't been down before. I'm always excited to see what's around
the bend. We may not have a country road to travel today, but it's a new, ao
"start from here!"

START FROM HERE

Start from here...
Today is the day.
Start from here...
Not time far away.

Start from here...
This moment will do.
Start from here...
God will lead you.

Start from here...
And seize the day.
Start from here...
You won't lose your way.

Bury your mistakes.
Start from here...
One step is all it takes.

Listen...He is there.

Jesus, a voice in the night,
When loneliness makes you blue.

MARKING TIME:

Marking time
As so many do,
Overlooking God
And all that's true.

Marking time,
Living in the past,
Worrying about  tomorrow
And that good times won't last.

Marking time,
Making money, having fun,
Taking no thought of others,
And of God and His Son.

Marking time,
Someday they shall find,
That life has passed by
And they've run out of time!

Welcome to my Garden!
I love this picture: So often the world depicts our men and women
in the service as uncaring, but they do care.

HELPING OTHERS

Helping others
Is a command.
We are not alone
In a lonely land.

Helping others
Through the years
We can get through it
If we dry each others tears.

Helping others
Will bring joy of its own.
It will help us with our struggles
And we will not feel so alone

Helping others,
Showing that we care,
Knowing others heartache
We can go to God in prayer.

THE WRAPPING

The wrapping may be old
And torn in a place or two,
It's color a bit faded
And the shine is not so new.

The wrapping may not look
As special anymore.
It may have a spot or two
And it may look so very poor.

The warping may be ruffled
But if you take the time to see
You'll find the Holy Spirit
Surely dwells in me.

The wrapping in just the surface
It's what you find inside
A heart cleansed by God
Where a treasure does abide!

OPEN MY EYES

Open my eyes,
That I may see,
All the blessings,
That come from Thee.

Open my eyes,
To a world of pain and loss.
May I see clearly,
The path to the cross.

Open my eyes,
To those who hunger for Thee.
May I tell the story
Of love's decree.

Open my eyes,
To know your will.
Help me to be forgiving
And know..."peace be still!"

This is a painting of the Capitol building in Washington, DC.
I shall never forget the picture of all the politicians standing on its

they were not opponents, but fellow Americans in mourning!
That's what we need today...without the tragedy!

GRASPING THE CROSS

Grasping the cross
Is not easy to do.
It is hard to comprehend
Christ would die for you.

Grasping the cross,
We cannot love that way,
Jesus died for our sins
On that dreadful day.

Grasping the cross.
With tis pain and its glory
We feel compelled,
To tell love's old, sweet  story.

Grasping the cross,
Means knowing one thing,
That Jesus arose
Salvation to bring!

When we sin.
A new beginning...

A new beginning...
He died for you and me.

A new beginning..
When we fail to win.
A new beginning...
Today, we try again!

Welcome to my Garden:
This is me wading in the Dead Sea.
It's called the dead sea because it is too salty for anything to live in it.
 The water is not living water, but dead water. Without
Jesus our soul is like the Dead sea!

LIVING WATER:

Jesus is the living water
And thirty your soul may be.
He invites you to drink freely,
He offers water that is free.

Jesus is the living water
If you drink from another source
You'll find your thirst is unquenched
You will be thirsty again of course.

Jesus is the living water
You will thirst nevermore.
He is also the bread of life,
Your soul, He will restore.

Jesus is the living water
Drink feely from this stream.
So many blessings await you,
More wonderful than any dream!

GOD CALLS WHEN WE'RE BUSY

God called to Abram.
"Move away from Ur.
Take you family and go
I will tell you where."

God called to Moses
From a bush burning bright,
"You must lead My people
Every day and night.'

God called to David,
While he was tending sheep,
"I am calling you,
My promises to keep."

God called the fisherman,
To leave Galilee's shore
When they followed Jesus
They changed forevermore,

God calls to us
From our busy day
'Come follow Me,
I am the only way!

Welcome to my Garden:

I wish I could edit what I send, before I send it, as well as I
do after I hit send.
we need an "unsend button!"

UNSEND

Unsend...
The ugly word that's said.
But I can't unsend the words
The tempter's fed.

Unsend...
The unkind thing I've done,
But I can't unsend
And put my guilt on the run.

Unsend...
The mocking of someone.
I can't unsend,
If the deed is done.

Unsend...
The hate that flows from pen.
I'll know regrets,
If this I should send.

Unsend...
I must think before I hit send
And pray for wisdom,
For I want to keep each friend!
