Shiny Things

God lets us play with shiny things,
  and hold them in our hand.
They seem so precious for a while,
  but then they turn to sand.

The gifts of life will come and go,
  not meant to always hold,
as if they'll grow more precious,
  like silver turned to gold.

They come, go, and when they do,
  they turn from sand to dust,
and often the best shiny things,
  just end up full of rust.

In the end, the lesson learned
  might sound a little odd,
but the only gifts that truly last
  are those we give to God.

Just say the Word

"Just say the Word"
  is more than a phrase,
it's how I intend
  to spend my days.

To say God's Word
  is awesome indeed.
It's the very food
  on which I feed.

Hiding His Word
  in my heart and soul,
renews my spirit
  and makes me whole.

His Words are life,
  a lamp and a light-
it brightens my path
  in darkest night.

The Word of God
  is alive and true-
it's changing my life
  and point of view.

"Just say the Word"
  means so much more-
than any old slogan
  you've heard before.

Forgive me Lord

Forgive me Lord for sins long past, and those for which I haven't asked. Forgive me when I neglect to pray; instead, desiring my own way...
