I remember miniskirts from teenage years gone by
They wiggled and they waggled and my eyes were satisfied
But then came micro skirts
They were always so much worse
Very little was concealed from my eyes so open wide
That lust has long been gone sine I gave my heart away
To my wonderful sweet Jesus who died for me that day
Crucified upon a tree
Now His blood has set me free
My sinful ways are gone and His love is on display

Time is something we all have
Using it is good nor bad
Time can make us glad or sad
Depending what you do
Today I urge you recognize
If your time inefficient flies
If it does then realize
You have to make a change
Find a way to help someone
Find a way to spread some love
Give a smile as bright as sun
And make a better world
In response to the daily prompt Inefficient
He is so honest
He is so true
He is so righteous
He’s never blue
He is so loyal
Trustworthy too
He’s just as good as can be
This is a faceless man you see
Trying so hard to make them believe
All of the good things he can be
But all of it’s only a mask
Inside he’s hurting
Inside he’s worn
Inside he’s lusting
Inside he’s torn
Inside he’s wishing
He’d never been born
He’s really not what he seems
I know this guy because He was me
I was the guy who seemed so complete
I was just drifting away to sea
Wondering where I would land
Then I found Jesus
I found new life
Then I found mercy
God reconciled
Joy fills my days now
Peace is all mine
Born again only by grace
In response to the daily prompt Faceless
I grew up in Sunday School
Attended every week
When teenage years arrived
I even helped to teach
I went astray much later
Early twenties were a mess
My life became a party
Of God I could care less
But even with that background
Of church at every turn
The prospect of salvation
Was foreign as a term
Then I heard one day
That Jesus died for me
Despite all of my past
I still His child could be
I quit the party life
I gave my life to Him
And now I am set free
From all my guilt and sin
If you have wandered off
And God seems far away
Ask Jesus for His grace
He’ll save your soul today
In response to the daily prompt Foreign
I see your sunny smile
I see your well-kept hair
I see your stunning outfit
I see the shoes you wear
I see your sparkling eyes
I see your earrings bright
I see your walking gait
As you stroll past in the light
These things are all wonderful
They mean so much to you
But what is most important
Is invisible to view
I love the mercy that you show
To others facing need
I see such grace in words you use
They’re kind and very sweet
I hear you say the best of things
To all who come around
I know you’re thinking good thoughts
About those who are down
You see it’s not the way we look
That makes us be a star
It’s how we act toward others
That makes us who we are
In response to the daily prompt Invisible
I look straight in the mirror
Getting ready for the day
Hope I look identical
To what the image says
I get all straight and handsome
I comb my hair out right
Shaved and clean and ready
To get out in the light
One thing I can’t quite fix up
While standing in that place
Is attitude that I will bring
Into this bright new day
That needs to start beforehand
While on my knees in prayer
Asking God to make this day
Be one that I’m aware
Aware of hurting all around
Aware of needs I see
Aware that people need a smile
They need a friend from me
Though I may look all perfect
On the outside to the world
I need to make sure inside
I am walking in the Word
In response to the daily prompt Identical
Darkness meets my eyes
As I awaken from my sleep
I thank the Lord for breath
And that my soul He keeps
I rise to greet the morn
As the light begins to show
The pink blush on the clouds
Comes before the rising glow
As I watch the changing colors
At the breaking of the day
I can’t help giving thanks
For this day that He has made
For I know that He’ll be with me
From dawn until the dusk
I’ll never feel the need
To depend on any luck
When He is with me all that comes
Will only make me strong
For in His arms I’m settled
And to Him I belong
In response to the daily prompt Blush
This world is full of wonder
This world is full of life
This world is full of sorrow
This world is full of strife
This world is full of chaos
This world is full of fear
This world is full of friendship
This world has love for me
So many different feelings
Flood our minds each day
We all have to determine
Which path we’re going to take
If you get discouraged
Because you turned aside
Take time to find patience
Within your daily life
You are His creation
His love is tried and true
Keep that promise close
His grace will cover you
In response to the daily prompt Patience
I used to work in sales, selling little office things
I called on many customers who needed many blings
One place was a hatchery where chicks would incubate
They shipped them round the world before it was too late
The process of the warmer was to let the chicks mature
They had to hatch for shipment on the time of scheduler
They were always ready and the birds arrived on time
McMurray was the name of that customer of mine
The word of God within us is similar in ways
We read it and apply it to help us through our days
Then when the heat is on the word will bring us through
We get delivered at the time that only God did choose
When you are in a hot spot and don’t know what to do
Allow the word of God to rise inside of you
Just when you need encouragement the right verse will be shown
You will find His mercy in the midst of the unknown
In response to the daily prompt Incubate
I think some dogs look funny
But others say they’re cute
Little ones that seem to fold
A wrinkle in their suit
I guess I’m in my dog days
My wrinkles grow in length
Though I still feel much younger
I found my source of strength
It’s not in what this earth provides
Nor in it’s treasures vast
I get my strength from God above
His truth will always last
So if you find you’re drifting
Into your later years
Without much strength of spirit
I’ll whisper in your ear
Make Jesus Christ your Lord today
He’ll bring you a new life
Then when you need encouragement
His word will come alive
In response to the daily prompt Wrinkle
