GOD’S MELODY

There is a music from above
That takes away my tears
It’s God’s melody of love
It quiets all my fears

LAUGHTER

Laughter is lika a music
And when its melody is heard,
the ills of life depart

NEW LIFE

Two laws compete
within my breast

The one is bad
the other blest

The new I love
the old I hate

The one I serve
will dominate

He directs my own

He doesn't lead me year by year
Nor even day by day
But step by step

My path unfolds
My Lord directs my own

Dear Wife:

I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you forever.
I've been a good man to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it.
These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today and that was the last straw.

Last week, you came home and didn't even notice that I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don't tell me you love me anymore; you
don't want sex or anything that connects us as husband and wife.

Either you're cheating on me or you don't love me anymore; whatever the case, I'm gone.

Your EX-Husband

P.S. Don't try to find me. Your SISTER and I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!

Here is the answer from the wife :

Dear Ex-Husband -

Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good man is a far cry from what you've been.

I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining and griping. Too bad that doesn't work.

I DID notice when you got a hair cut last week, but the first thing that came to mind was 'You look just like a girl!' Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you can't say something nice, I didn't comment.

And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with
MY SISTER, because I stopped eating fish seven years ago.

About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them, and I prayed that it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning.

After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out.

So when I hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home you were gone.

Everything happens for a reason, I guess.

I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won't get a dime from me. So take care.

Signed,

Your Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell and Free!
P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this, but my sister Jenny was born Jonny. I hope that's not a problem.

FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is like a fragile seed
nestled deep in the earth of caring
showered by rains of thoughtfulness
nutured by moments of encouragement

Then, warmed by the sunshine of hope and purpose
It begins to bloom

It's blossoms growing brighter
it's roots surer
by the hour

KIND

Kind hearts are the garden
Kind thoughts are the roots
Kind words are the blossoms
Kind deeds are the fruits

IN MY DARKEST HOUR

Even in my darkest hour
The Lord will bless me with His power
His loving grace will sure abound
In His sweet care I shall be found

Senin, 16 Februari 2009

I THANK YOU, LORD…

Thank you, Lord…
for the trials sore
that taught me how to trust You more
For when I found no other way
I learned to lean on You each day

UNCOMPARABLE

No one can compare to You
No one can deny
How awesome Your name
In Your love I’ll stand

TRUST HIM

Trust Him when the dark doubts assail you
trust Him when your strenght is small
trust Him when to simply trust Him
seems the hardest thing of all

PRAYER

prayer is not a way
to get what we want
but the way to become
what God wants

Selasa, 10 Februari 2009

THIS IS MY LIFE

There’s nothing more precious
Than to be in Your presence
I really want to see You by my side

This is my life
I surrender

A GOOD BOOK

A good book like a good friend
is always there in my time of need
make me laugh with funny jokes
support me with wonderful stories

TELL ME

Why I can’t solve any problem?
I lose so many tears
can’t go on singing the same song
can’t go on thinking

Tell me….what should I do?

HOW SWEET

In the stillness of the morning
before a busy day of care
how sweet to be alone with God
like a candy in my mouth
how sweet to feel His kindness
through His holy word and prayer

THE TONGUE

Has been published at Contact Magazine, Second Edition, Number 11, May – June 1995

THE TONGUE

Like a bird,
it can sing melodiously
Like a priest,
it can speak wisely
Like a dew on the thirsty leaves
it can console broken hearts
Like a sunshine in the morning
it can cheer somebody up

Like the angry fire,
it can burn a heart
Like a liar,
it can make untrue promises
Like a knife,
it can cut
even kill cruelly

So,
Be careful with your tongue
Even though you really hit ont the ceiling,
Try to remain cool as a cucumber
For your tongue can create WAR and PEACE!

YOUR LOVE

I could never realized
how deep Your love is for me
You make my life complete
Your love is so high
so wide
so big

Your love will always be greater
