Quiet and still
The early morning calm
Glistens on this moonlit night
The beauty of God’s creation
Adorned

It’s that time of year again
Cooler weather on the way
Time to store the summer clothes
Get the flannel out to stay
It would be nice to hibernate
And skip the cold completely
But that would not be good for me
I’d live life too discretely
I want to be a witness
Of the Grace of Jesus Christ
He died to set me free from sin
And He’s given me new life
I will not let my light grow dim
Or hide it under a bushel
It will shine all the more you see
For lost souls are the issue
As the winter weather comes
So many will be searching
It’s time to make my writing count
For these words speak of mercy

In autumn we view many things
That make us marvel at our God
The brilliance of a lowering sun
The clouds produce a show of awe
This is a time of cooler days
When leaves in sunlight start to glow
Deciduous trees light up the air
Their yellows, reds and oranges show
Then these brilliant leaves do fall
Adorning all the earth and sod
The trees lay bare but still raise high
Their branches lifting praise to God
We’d learn a lot to take their cue
To lift our eyes when life seems lost
For even though the winter comes
Spring will soon be greeting us

My chair awaits
My dog Bandit
My lapdog Bandit
Is lying in my chair
Keeping it warm
Warm for me
Hoping I will sit with him
Not on him
I walk over
Looking at him
Talking to him
As if he were human
“Do you like my chair”
“is it warm enough for you”
“Can I sit down”
He looks at me
Cocking his head
As if to say “Huh?”
I start to sit
He moves over to the side
He stands there as I sit
Then he steps over
Walking on my lap
Licking my neck
My face
Giving me love
Like he’s thanking me
For keeping him warm
On this chilly day

This world sees abundance in so many things
Possessions are what we most crave
My God makes me richer than this world can know
In the wonderful things that He gave
Abundant in mercy that forgives my sin
Abundant in grace for the moment
Abundant in love everlasting and free
Jesus my all in all
Abundant in peace that calms every storm
Abundant in joy never ceasing
Abundant in hope that endures for all time
Jesus my all in all
Abundant in healing my body and soul
Abundant in faith through His word
Abundant in patience for me and my ways
Jesus my all in all
All these blessings and more are mine today
Because He gave His life on the cross
If you give your life to Jesus today
Your days will also be blessed

In this world there are many beautiful things
Like a sunset at night and a bird on the wing
But nothing compares to the cool autumn days
When foliage turns and ripens with age
I used to live in New England you see
Fall is the one time that homesick hits me
Every year we would ride through the mountains and hills
Seeking the colors that gave us all thrills
Yellows and reds oranges too
Blue spruce and evergreens added their hue
Purple was there to add to the sight
To top it all off was the brilliant sunlight
I’m so glad that my God created this place
To be of such beauty and filled with His grace
He paints all the pictures of nature each day
So you can be blessed as you travel your way
Don’t forget to give thanks for His wonderful gift
Of sunrise and sunset and hillsides all lit
Give thanks for the gift of His Son every day
Who died to take all your sins away

It happens way to often
Because my wandering mind
Is concentrated elsewhere
And I lose track of time
The day escapes me quickly
And suddenly I find
My birthday wish is once again
Belated and behind
It’s common to be late
We think it’s quite all right
But soon will come a time
When late will pay a price
If you do not know Jesus
When the trumpet sounds
We’ll all rise to heaven
And you’ll stay on the ground
Today’s the day to make the choice
Make Jesus Christ your King
You’ll bow before Him one day
Why not give Him everything
This world and all its riches
Will soon decay and die
But if you do know Jesus
You’ll have eternal life

This world is full of questions
Asking what this life is for
Why have we been put on earth
What purpose is in store
Some people look for answers
In horoscopes and stars
Some might find a talisman
To find out who they are
There’s really only one true way
To find your destiny
Give your life to Jesus Christ
And He will give you peace
He is the creator
Of everything we see
That is why He is the one
Who knows what you shall be
He has a plan for everyone
No matter what their size
He wants to take you in His arms
And show you what is wise
He wants the best for you each day
His plan is limitless
If you’ll just trust your life to Him
You truly will be blessed

When I think of His mercy
His grace
His passion
His wonderful love
That flows from above
When I see His creation
Hear the birds
See the sunset
His tapestry flows
As nature unfolds
When I think that He came down
From His throne
To die alone
He took my sins
Gave me peace within
When I think that He rose again
Seated on high
On heaven’s throne
He prepares a place
I will see His face
My enraptures my heart
Fills my life overflowing
I am overwhelmed by Jesus
He comforts my soul
His blessings surround me
What a glorious Lord we serve
