Ultimate love
Sent down from above
Jesus, God’s own Son
Pure, sinless One
Upon a cross hung He
Christ who died for me
No words can convey
What He did that day

What is HOPE?
Hope is a Promise,
Hold fast to it without wavering.
Hope is Living, through God’s
Mercy in Christ’s resurrection.
Hope is Grace and God.
Hope’s in you and me.
Hope is an Anchor,
That’s sure and steadfast-cling to it.
Hope is ours for the Future.

Breastplate of Faith
Patrick is Ireland’s patron saint
Though a true Irishman he ain’t
A simple sheep herder was he
A slave he was til age twenty
Then he met God and caused the devil to faint

Standing Ovation
This very place
Where I once stood
Weak and frightful
Wondering if I could
Now I stand
And all’s well and good
I’m feeling strong
As I hoped I would
This brings the thought
Had I not in Him stood
If life now
Would be this good
It would not
For its understood
In His great strength
Is my livelihood
Rhyme
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (Jesus) John 15:5
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Ribbons of Life
Life’s
Ribbons
Teardrops flow
Pain overwhelms
Trials seem to grow
Hope slowly declines
The future looks so dim
Yet thru all these ribbons glows
The strong and sure symbol of Him
He nevers leaves us nor forsakes us

Yesterday I decided to do a watercolor tapestry of my life.
I planned to use different colors and drawings to represent my various life events. Well, not being an artist, the whole painting ended up looking like a timeline of colors with some childish doodle drawings. The one thing that stood out was a brown cross that I drew, however, the rest of it I knew I would need to redo.
The whole painting had a good message as I explained it, it just needed a better appearance.
So, this morning I had the thought to just wash the whole painting clean with water and start over, kind of like a new life, new beginning. So I did. I loaded my shammy with water and washed and rubbed. In the end most of the paint disappeared, some just faded and all the drawings washed away EXCEPT THE CROSS! Honest!
The Cross didn’t fade nor change at all! It did not erase thru all I did! All the other drawings were drawn with the same watercolor pencils as the Cross, and they all erased, but it did not! AMAZING!
It seemed God was speaking to me in this, telling me that nothing can ever erase the message of the Cross. That what Christ accomplished thru His death on the Cross will always remain and that if we believe and receive Him as our Savior and Lord He will never leave us nor forsake us.
This seemed so profound to me that I decided to name the new painting “Ribbons of Life” to represent that no matter what happens to us in our life, if we have believed and received Jesus as our Savior and Lord, He will always be there with us thru it all!
