God is Watching

I know He watches over me,
I feel His gaze and touch.
He gives me strength to face my fears,
I know He loves me much.
I trust in Him, he guides me on,
He never turns away.
I know that if, I do get lost,
I'll hear Him say, "This way."
He never tires, He's always there,
I praise His Holy Name.
I hope you let Him guide you too,
He won't leave you the same.
You will no longer wander lost,
You will be shown the way.
You only need to trust in Him,
You'll do this soon I pray.
The reason that I pray for you,
Is that I love you too.
I owe to Him to spread His Word,
He'll share, His Love, with you.

Good morning, Kuds.

I've finally made it!! Fed the 4 year old girl and the 2 1/2 month old puppy.

The mornings have gotten pretty busy here. Errr .... to tell the truth, my days have gotten busy. :~)

[JustAmy]

That's lovely ..... thank you.

Victoria will probably stop by sometime today.

[JustAmy]

Happy Sunday, Meekie.

Only 77 right now but they are still saying 104 today. Boy, our last bill for electricity was $330., I shudder to think what it will be next month. Time to get a job! :)

[JustAmy]

LOL

I called that number. I got a recording saying "Call later, we are helping Darksheare right now!"

*GRIN*

[Darksheare]

LOL!
Yes, they are.
Seems there's two of me running around right now.
*sigh*

It's sometimes hysterical when I get bogus/prank ads stuck in my head.
Wonder if anyone would notice if I actually made one and had it on TV..

ON THE WINGS OF A PRAYER

Just close your Eyes and open your heart,
And feel your worries and cares depart.
Just yield yourself to the Father above,
And let him hold you secure in his love.

For life on earth grows more involved,
With endless problems that can't be solved,
But God only ask us to do our best,
Then he will take over and finish the rest...

So when you are tired, discouraged and blue,
There is always one door that is open to you,
And that is the door to The House of Prayer,
And you'll find God waiting to meet you there.
And The House of Prayer is no further away,
than the quiet spot where you kneel and pray.

For the heart is a temple when God is there
As we place ourselves in his loving care.
And he hears every prayer and answers each one
When we Pray in His name - Thy will be done.
The burdens that seemed too heavy to bear
Are lifted away on the wings of a prayer.

"If God didn’t have a purpose for us, we wouldn’t be here."

Good morning, Rus, wonderful scripture again today. Thank you.

Hope you are having a special Sunday.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Get a second line; use that number and see how many calls you get.

That might be fun.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for the poem and graphics used today.
I appreciate you!!

[Darksheare]

LOL!
NO! NOnonononononono..
I have enough bad ideas stuck in my head..

I like the reruns. They don't take as much effort as something new!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Thank you for posting it.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi everyone. It seems I'm missing the fun, but I've been busy lately, and last night I went to my friend's birthday. I have to leave in a little while, but I wanted to say hello first. Hopefully, I'll be back earlier enough to post a little.

Have a great day, everybody.

Dogs and Cats

My cat is really very cool.
It yawns when I come home from school,
Slowly comes so I can pet it,
Walks away like, “Oh! Forget it!”

My dog's the one that I adore.
It always meets me at the door.
With waggly tail it's waiting there.
A puppy is a smile with hair.

Hi there! I hope you are having a good weekend. I've been busy lately. Nothing exciting, just work stuff. I hope to be on more in the near future.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Tulip. I'll be back later, so maybe I'll see you then. Hope you're having a nice day.

[JustAmy]

I enjoy the reruns but I love to have new stuff to feature.

The reruns are much easier when things get especially hectic.

As a safety net, I have several poems by you and NnB that are available for reruns. :)

[JustAmy]

My pleasure. :)

In an age when indoor plumbing has made out houses obslete,
Democrats try to sell us two Johns they're saying smell sweet.
They'll surely fool some, the dense, the naive and the dumb,
but not we who have been there and remember, where they're coming from.

Democrats have promised the moon and the stars, and heaven right now.
They offer more pork and baloney than your arteries would need to go pow!
A billionaire and a millionaire, the democrats offer for President and Vice,
Pretending they're feeling our pain-isn't that nice?

Kerry and Edwards , a pair of playboys with nary a clue,
of the size of the crisis this world's going through,
or their own lack of talent to finish the chore,
else they too would be rooting for Bush in 04.

Another contribution...

I remember the first time I kissed you
I wonder if you linger on it, as I do
I remember cold Parson's Green Station
And our mutual hesitation.
We've always had that quality, you and I:
Truly, we can never say good bye
I was going to kiss you on the cheek
And then I got something I had hoped to seek
Your lips met mine and my heart ignited
Feeling joy at our souls united
Do you remember what I then whispered in your ear
Admittedly, it was said through tears -
"I love you with every drop of me."
As it was then, it will always be.

Perhaps I'm a fool to linger over this
But I joyfully remember our first kiss.
I hope that what the future has in store
Is that we will come to love each other more.

Time passed and other kisses I remember
I recall one this past December
You entranced and enraptured me with your kiss
I had never known such perfect bliss
You drew out my soul with your lips
And I felt all of my control freely slip
And then there was a feeling, sweet and new -
I felt as if I melted into you.
You had my heart, my soul, every bit of me
And as it was then, it will always be.

Perhaps I'm mad to linger over this
But I remember each and every kiss
I still hope what the future has in store
Is that we will come to love each other more.

Time moved on, and so did we
And as did the force of destiny
We are not in the same place as we were
But every day, the same feelings stir
Perhaps I'm a fool, I cannot say
Maybe you'll return to me someday

And perhaps you may let me linger
In the entwining our lips and fingers
And when we break our embrace
I'll look at your lovely face
And we'll speak of what is yet to be -
A love lasting for eternity.

Then I'll have been wise to linger over this,
The bright memory of our soft kiss.
For it would be a portent of what was to be
The love of my life returning to me.

Regards, Ivan
