Evening Thoughts

The sun is just going down, down below the western hills and the air lies silent and the tree branches still. As I gaze over those lonesome hills I get lonely for mom and dad still. I have a daughter and her family 3000 miles away that I have not seen for five years a few weeks before Christmas day. Did you ever feel lonely even with other people around? As I gaze across the lonely hills, I bow my head and pray.

A HEAVENLY NIGHT

Moon, moon up in the sky,
clouds slowly floating bye,
thousands of twinkling stars,
around about;
the beauty is awesome,
I want to shout,
how great is our God,
how great is our God,
so many blessings,
He gives us,
as we travel this sod.

PAINFUL STEPS

Painful Steps
Each painful step up Calvary’s hill,
He took His Father’s will to fulfill.
Each painful step was for and me,
Providing us the way to walk into eternity.
Each painful step, each painful blow,
He endured for you and me,
His everlasting love to show.
Each drop of blood He freely gave,
To bare our sins, our souls to save.
The painful spear that pierced His side,
He willfully endured, so with Him we could abide.
Yes, dear soul! Jesus God’s only Son,
Through these painful steps, victory was won.
Jesus endured all this agony and pain,
To defeat Satan and our salvation to gain.
All hail the power of Jesus name,
Thank Him for His victory, we can claim.
He bore the sin of the world; His salvation to bring;
Jesus, the Christ, the Lord of Lords,
And King of Kings.

JUDGE NOT

Judge not your brother, judge not your sister too! judge not all the things they do. Judge not your brother, judge not your sister too! Would you want them judging you? Dear brother and sister, do nothing to make them stumble or fall, remember God sent Jesus, to live, to love, to die and live again for all. Judge not your brother, judge not your sister too! Just edify them with love, the same love God gives me and you. Judge not your brother, judge not your sister too! Because they believe in Christ, they will be in Heaven too!

Hi my friends! Last night when I retired from the pain filled day, as I lie down and looked out the window at the moon and it's reflection on the snow it reminded me of a lesson I learned long ago. That the love of God, revealed in His Son was sent to cleanse our dirty sinful lives and make them white as the snow I see out my window for those who believe upon the name of Jesus. O what a Savior!
