The Broken Chain We little knew the day that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you The day God called you home.  

Foot Prints In The Sand One night I dreamed a dream. As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord. After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of...

Psalm 23  1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou...

Psalm 23   The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.   He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,   he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.   Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.   You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil;...

We are in the presence of God in our need and in our sorrow.    We are in the presence of God in thankfulness for the life we knew and shared.    We are in the presence of God seeking hope and courage for the future.    We are in the presence of God who has promised to be with us always, till the end of time.

‘We Remember Them’ by Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer At the rising sun and at its going down; We remember them. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter; We remember them. At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring; We remember them. At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer; We remember them. At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of the autumn; We remember them. At the beginning of the year and when it ends; We remember...

Footprints in the Sand One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each, I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints; other times there was only one. During the low periods of my life I could see only one set of footprints, so I said, "You promised me, Lord, that you would walk with me always. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" The Lord replied,...

Trust in God's Plan By Kelly Roper It's hard to understand Why God takes those we love. Does He need them more than we do, In Heaven up above? No one on earth can pretend To know what's in God's plan. All we can do is take it on faith And trust we'll see our loved ones again.

"To God be the Glory" God how can I show my gratitude, for all You have done for me Should I kneel in this space in time Unmoving on bent knee? Shall I lift my arms to the heavens, never to let them fall to my side should I raise my voice even higher and never allow it to subside? Shall I shout from my rooftop, about Your mercies I have seen should I scream over the oceans roar of how much to me You mean? Shall I praise Your Holy name, from the highest mountain top should I...

“COME WITH ME” God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be So he put his arms around you And whispered ‘Come with Me.’ With tearful eyes We watched you suffer And saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hardworking hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best. It’s lonesome here without you, We miss you more each day, Life doesn’t seem the same Since...
