Memorial Day

    Dear Heavenly Father,
    As we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy every day, we think of how they have followed in the footsteps of your son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Please hold our servicemen and women in your strong arms. Cover them with your sheltering grace and your presence as they stand in the gap for our protection.
    We also remember the families of our troops. We ask for your unique blessings to fill their homes, and we pray your peace, provision, and strength will fill their lives.
    May the members of our armed forces be supplied with courage to face each day and may they trust in the Lord's mighty power to accomplish each task. Let our military brothers and sisters feel our love and support.
    In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Don't Make Me Go


This is a poem I wrote many years ago when I was young

Please, Lord I don't want to go.I want to see my Little girl grow.
Please, Lord don't destroy the earth.
I want to see my grandchildren surf
Please, Lord don't take me away
on this planet I want to stay
Oh, Mighty God I love you with all my heart,
but of this earth I am part
Please give this earth another chance,
I want to see my grandchildren dance,
but if it be your will I shall go.
