A STEP AWAY

A STEP AWAY

 

 

 

We’re just a step away from another chance

Another step away

We just need one lucky break

And we’ll be on our way

 

We’ve been patiently awaiting another chance

But we never really thought that it would come

It’s surprising what patience can do

And what it adds up to in the final sum

 

We’ve been knocked down again and again

Never thought that we could get back up

Thought it was the end

But somehow we stuck it out

And we are on the mend

 

We’re just a step away from another chance

Another step away

We just need one lucky break

And we’ll be on our way

 

We’ve been dreaming of the challenge

And dreaming of the fight

Just waiting for another chance

And keeping our goals and dreams in sight

We want to come all the way back

In every walk of life

And keep going on and on

Like we were never gone

 

And……..-

We’re just a step away

Another step away

We just need one lucky break

And we’ll be on our way

 

We’re just one more step away

Ps         “Since we live by the SPIRIT

             Let us keep in step with the SPIRIT

             Let us NOT become conceited

             Provoking and envying each other”                                     Galatians 5:25-26

 


RESOLVE TO BE=A WITNESS!

 

 

 

 

RESOLVE TO BE=A WITNESS!

 

Jesus has now

Resurrected from the dead=

Spread the joy

 

“God raised this Jesus

Of this=

We are ALL WITNESS”                                                                                                            Acts 2:32

With our family

And our Christian friends

 

What joy

We will have=in our HEARTS

If we=RESOLVE

“But Daniel=RESOLVED not to

Defile himself=with the royal food

And wine

 

And he asked

The chief official=for permission

Not to defile himself=this way”                                                                                      Daniel 1:8

 

“For I RESOLVED

To know nothing=

While I was with you

Except Jesus Christ=and him crucified”                                                                          1 Corinthians 2:2

 

Let us NOT let this

Be just another day

 

When we do the basic

Laundry=and cooking

And wash the car

 

Let us use

TODAY’S OPPORTUNITIES

To RESOLVE to

SPREAD the good news

“But you will

Receive power=

When the Holy Spirit

Comes to you

 

In Jerusalem=and in all Judea

And Samaria

And to the ends

Of the earth”                                                                                                                  Acts 1:8

 

SHOW your Easter joy!

DON'T FORGET TO LAUGH

DON’T FORGET TO LAUGH

 

Last week was a tough week for me/for many of us

 

So it got me to thinking

Does GOD have a sense of humor

 

The answer that I came up with is

He made ME ( us )=didn’t he

 

 

LOL=with grateful appreciation FOR YOU

 

 

Ecclesiastes 3   =   A TIME FOR EVERYTHING

 

 

There is a time for everything

And a season for everything

Under Heaven:

 

A time to weep and a time to laugh

 

 

 

A friend of my Father’s

Used to tell him

 

“When they made you Bob

They broke the mold

And beat the hell

Out of the mold maker”

 

 

Always remember

You are a Child of God

Born with a purpose

Living for a purpose

And that you have a job in this world

That no one else in this world can do

Only you

 

And when GOD made you

He saved the mold for ALL of eternity

 

We are all on a journey

But don’t forget

To have fun---AND LAUGH ALONG THE WAY

STAND FOR SOMETHING

 

 

 

 

 

I have

Heard it said

You have

To stand for something

Or you

Stand for nothing at all

 

Stand up for God

Stand up for love

Stand up for your brother and sister

Stand up for what is right

In this world

 

Stand up for peace

Stand up for kindness

Standup for the weak

And forlorn

 

Stand for something

Or you stand

For nothing for all

 

Stand up for the old

Stand up for the homeless

Stand up

For children and families

 

Stand up for something

Stand up for love
