Winston Sr Staples: "October in scarlet and russet and grey
Is hymning of Plenty and wine...
How calm is the morn! In high treble the stream
Is singing in rambling measure
Like a bard all enrapt that would catch on a theme
In the mazes of Fancy and pleasure!
~James Rigg, "Nutting Time," Wild Flower Lyrics and Other Poems, 1897

Winston Sr Staples: "TAKE TIME
Take time to enjoy each baby step,
we take as we travel this sod,
take time to smell the roses,
and communicate with God.
Take time to watch the twinkling stars,
and remember God loves you,
no matter where you are.
Take time each day to rest,
talk to Jesus, you will be blessed.
Take time to enjoy the sunshine,
and each drop of rain,
take time to count your blessings,
even while enduring pain.
Take time to listen,
to your brother and sister too!
Remember that is what Jesus would do.
Take time to thank God,
for the awesome things He has done,
especially for salvation,
through Jesus, His only Son.
Take time to enjoy each sound,
each sight and each fragrance too!
and be blessed, they where created for you!
Take time to be silent,
and pray every day,
never forgetting God loves you,
no matter what others may say.

Winston Sr Staples: "We are little vessels, created by God’s hand, put here a little while, to walk in this land. We are little vessels, broken and marred by sin, God knows our every weakness, He wants to mold us from within. We are little vessels, who need saved from sin, by submitting to God our potter, salvation will begin. We are little vessels, saved from sin and shame, Jesus gives us victory, because He lives again. We are little vessels, being molded by His Spirit, because of His love and grace, and not by our merit. We are little vessels, being shaped as He would have us be, perfect in His sight, when the face of Jesus we see."

Winston Sr Staples: "WATCH OUT
Watch out for the devil,
the father of lies,
he will sneak up and kick you,
and make your soul cry.
Watch out for the devil,
he will fill you with doubt,
he will use all his power,
to keep God’s light out.
Watch out for the devil,
that deceiver, that fraud,
he will do all he can,
to keep you from God.
Watch out for the devil,
he is lurking, around the bend,
doing all his dirty work,
to his very end.
Cheer up my friends,
there is an answer,
for the devil’s snares;
His name is Jesus,
He loves you and cares.
He shed His blood on Calvary’s tree,
and arose the third day,
so we could be free.
So trust in Jesus, my Redeemer,
and my friend; He will keep you safe,
on Him you can depend.
—- Winston Staples —"
