GOD'S WONDERLAND

The snow was softly falling
Into a world of glistening white,
As I awoke this morning
To an awe inspiring sight.

fixed I gazed in a wonder
It this great arctic scene
Wishing all the world could be
As and serene.

When the gentle storm was over
the sunlight's golden glow
I could see a trillion diamonds
All a sparkle in the snow.

Now the western sun is setting
Into a bed of blue and gold
As I await the drama
of the nighttime to unfold.

Starlit skies and I'll be watching
over winters wonderland
Enthralled by all the wonders
by God's creative hand!

THANKS

Thank you, Lord, that I awoke
to see the rising sun
I pray the deeds I so today
Will merit thy well done.

Thank you for the singing
of the songsters in the trees,
and for the dewey fragrance
borne on the morning breeze.

Thank you for my loved ones
So precious, Lord to me
Guide their footsteps father
and keep them close to thee!

Thanks for life eternal
That Jesus came to give
For who so ever walks with him.
shall forever with him live.

Thanks for all thy blessings
bestowed as we walk daily on
keep us safe through out the night
to be awakened at the dawn.

BABY MINE

O precious newborn in our home
Gift of God's great love divine.
May caring angels smile on you
Baby mine, O Baby mine.

Then as you walk the path of life,
May God's grace on your path shine
and keep you ever in his will
Baby mine, O, Baby mine.
