Ladders

As I lie here, unable to sleep,
I think of many things,
and not counting sheep.
It amazes me,
what comes into my mind,
and to others it does not matter,
but tonight, I thought about ladders.
About man over the years,
have used them to gain heights,
like those of Babel,
reaching up, trying to reach God,
and those ladders firemen use,
lives and buildings to save.
Man and his inventions,
reach almost everywhere,
on this old sod,
but his ladders can not reach Heaven,
and the presence of God.
God provided a ladder,
one that came down,
so we could go up.
That ladder was Jesus,
God's only Son.
He came to us,
as a little humble babe,
 and after 33 years,
He gave up His life,
baring our sins, and through Him,
we can climb to Heaven,
because we are saved.

TEA

Tea for you,
Tea for me,
Tea is good.
Do you agree?
T is for thoughts,
E is for emotions,
A is for actions,
T and E produce.
We need to renew our mind,
By God's Holy Word,
Then our actions,
Will be loving and  kind.
Then to others,
We will be living the Word.
So let us live God's way,
That leads us to good,
And not the way,
Others say we should.

Thankful

It was two weeks before Thanksgiving,
The air was crisp and clear,
The leaves were all gone,
No lovely multi-colors,
O! I miss their beauty,
I wish they were still here.
I took another look,
Out this big window of mine,
And now I say thank you,
For all the beauty,
I still find.
Multi-colored gray trees,
Evergreens growing between,
Make an awesome picture,
Awesome beauty,
That is now seen.
Thank you Heavenly Father,
For creating all these things,
But most of all for your Son,
And the Salvation He brings!
