Judge Me by the Footprints I Leave Behind

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. “Mom and Dad, I’m coming home, but I’ve got a favor to ask. I have a friend I’d like to bring with me.” “Sure,” they replied, “we’d love to meet him.” “There’s something you should know the son continued, “he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mined and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us.” “I’m...

A Newborn’s Prayer

Here I am, Daddy and Mama, a gift from the Lord up above, To brighten your days with joy untold, and fill our home with love. I’m tiny, precious and fragile, but made miraculously, To fulfill God’s plan for my life and be what He wants me to be. Some say I look like you, Mom, other say more like Dad. But I have distinct traits from both of you, whether that’s good or bad. I love it when you hold me securely in your strong arms, You let me know you’re my protector in this world with all it’s...

One cold evening during the holiday season a little boy about six or seven years old was standing out in front of a store window. The little child had no shoes and his clothes were mere rags.

He is all-wise and powerful. Jesus is His name; Though everything is changeable, My God remains the same. My God knows all that’s happening; Beginning to the end; His presence is my comfort; He is my dearest Friend. When sickness comes to weaken me, To bring my head down low, I call upon my mighty God;...

Are We Too Busy?

Another beautiful sunrise is shining, And casts sparkles among the trees, The sun rises higher each moment, Have we taken time, upon our knees? Do we hurry through, with God, in Prayer…. So we can rush about, this day? Do we take time….for others, to care? Or, are we “too busy”….to even Pray? The way of Life goes so much better, If we spend time with our Father, Remember Jesus…and ask for Guidance, And always Praying, daily, for one another. How quickly the day comes to an end, And the sun sinks…in the Western sky, God Loves us…and walks with...
