Great Sheet
Bound at four corners
Filled with unclean common things
Did descend from heaven to earth
Vision
From God to show Peter His intent
Was no partiality
Salvation is
For all

Based scripture in Acts 10:9-16 (Peter’s Vision)
I met a guy named George today,
Quite a character was he.
97 years old,
And still full of glee!
He came into the room singing,
Every song mentioned he did know.
Verse by verse he’d sing them out,
He really stole the show!
Our Dance Team came prepared,
Joy and happiness to bring.
Yet it was we who were blessed,
As we listened to George sing.
George showed forth a true joy,
That only faith in God can bring,
As he smiled and encouraged all,
To just open up and sing!

Death visited last night
It took the body of someone I knew
His earthly tent is now empty
But his spirit lives someplace new
There’s a heavenly mansion above
That Jesus prepared and took him to
Where he’ll dwell forever in peace
Because he believed what was true
We all can join him there
And have our mansion too
We just need to believe and receive
What Jesus did for me and you

In memory of Herman (Rock) Kunneman, a brother in Christ, and former brother-in-law on earth.
In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. –Jesus (John 14:2,3)
For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2 Corinthians 5:1)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16 )
Penny in my path
Reminds of God’s provision
Grateful for His care

I wonder and worry,
But God speaks in many ways.
He often whispers when
I find a penny or dime:
“I will provide for your needs”

Based on Philippians 4:19 scripture
High temps
Flowers in the sun
Concerned for their welfare
Awoke to find God watered them
Over night

As I ride the World’s Roller Coaster,
Each day offers different emotions.
One day I am “King of the Hill”,
The next I find myself at the “Bottom of the Barrel”,
Often I feel like I am “The Man in the Middle”.
But when each day’s ride is over,
I make time to talk with my Father,
And His words bring me comfort.
I find my true identity
In the truth of His words.
I am a Child of the King,
But His Kingdom is not of this world.

My mouth wants to speak
But not a sound will come forth
At a loss for words
My heart cries out in despair
The Creator hears and responds

Another day of life
A new opportunity
My daily happiness
Given by the grace of God
I choose to rejoice and be glad
