Time for a nice hot drink


I love to collect beautiful writings...they say that 'a picture is
worth a thousand words', but I cannot totally agree with that
antiquity. One poem, full of emotion is worth it's weight in gold!!
Read on....and then give me your opinion...

His little ones...

Babies are like angels






A tender root
EXPECTED BABY,,,
Little cuddly baby with skin so soft and fair,
Little smiling Nicholas..fair cheeks and curly hair.
Big dark brown eyes and sweet toothless grin,
With a pure soul not yet touched by sin.
Two soft tender hands..two wee tiny feet,
I know when he gets here, he'll be mighty sweet.






A touch of Royalty

CALVARY...
Oh, I can see there atop that dark hill,
A Cross as it stands in the twilight so still.
And the form of a man so dejected and worn
As the multitudes gazed on in mockery and scorn;
The blood as it dripped from His wounded side,
As He gave up the ghost, bowed His head and died.
Oh, such agony! Such pain and despair
From that humble man, who paid it all there.

What did He do to deserve such cruel fate,
He knew not the meaning of dislike or hate?
Yet, He bore it all meekly with never a word..
Not even a moan from His dear lips was heard.
He lifted His eyes to His Father above and prayed
For the ones who had witnessed such love.
For 'twas God's only Son there atop that dark hill,
Who died on the Cross in the twilight so still.

Christ gave His dear life for a sinner like me.
So I can live with Him thru-out all eternity.
Now I can worship around the White Throne,
And live in a mansion prepared as my own;
Sing His praises forever! Have life ever more,
When I cross Jordan over on that bright shore.
For He purchased my life there atop that dark hill,
When He died on the Cross in the twilight so still.

CHRIST HAS PAID THE DEBT FOR YOU AND FOR ME,
STAMPED 'PAID IN FULL' ON CALVARY'S TREE!











When He returns..



The scales will be balanced








Judgement seat of Christ

MY VISION....
I stood by the Throne in my garment of white..
not a blemish or spot could I find.
I brushed off my robe with the palm of my hand,
while with patience I awaited Judgment time.
I smiled to myself. How pleased did I feel!
How proud to have passed the test.
No more sorrows or troubles or tears would I shed,
my reward would be ever more rest.

Then the Angels came forth with a glorious light,
and the bugles broke forth in sound.
My Lord looked me over and with tears He did say,
'A blemish, I fear I have found.'
My soul cried out, my eyes filled with tears,
I bowed on my knees at His feet.
'Oh, my Lord,' I cried out, 'this I cannot believe,
my gown I have kept..oh, so neat!

Where did I fail..how could I have failed?
I followed Thy every command.
I heard of Thy Words..I obeyed Thy commands,
how did I misunderstand!!'
Then, the Lord raised His hand and looked in my face,
and His gentle voice broke through.
"Oh, lost child, can I make you see that what
must be done...I must do!

Remember on your knees at the Altar that time
when you finally received the Light?
Then, why, my lost child, Oh, why did you stray
from the Word you knew to be right?
That night, remember, you came out from the world,
and vowed to ever serve Me?
Then, why, my lost child, Oh, why did you change?
Why were you so easily deceived?

That thorn in your flesh, I understood that,
and delivered you when I heard you sob.
Then, why, my lost child, oh, why did you change?
Tempt not the Lord, Thy God!!
When temptation befell you, and the world you did crave,
why didn't you come unto Me?
Why, my lost child, Oh, why did you not hear
My voice as I tried to lead thee!

I gave you My Word, and I gave you My law.
I warned you of what must be done.
You knew of the sacrifice that you had to make
between Me or that Fallen one.
And now, my child, is the Great Judgment Day,
and for your weak faith now you must pay.."

Oh, my God, my God, I heard myself cry,
and I awoke with a trembling chill.
Oh, thank You, my Lord, for this vision tonight.
Henceforth, I shall do Thy Will!









like a 'babe in Christ'
I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE ENJOYED VISITING WITH ME
AND MY FEELINGS..AND PERHAPS YOU HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO FEEL THE DEPTHS OF THE LOVE
THAT HE HAD FOR US WHEN HE DIED ON CALVARY...
JUST AS THE LITTLE CHILD IS PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT,
WE, TOO, MUST KEEP THE SAVIOUR
PRECIOUS IN OUR HEARTS,
AND BECOME AS A LITTLE CHILD...
FOR SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN...
