Search into the garden
Of your soul and you will find
A gem of priceless beauty
Like a jewel that's most divine.
Meditate in silence
And with each breath release
A faith that's filled with magic
And a magic filled with peace. . .
For in your quiet moment
You will surely visualize
That in this rest of peacefulness
God will unveil a prize.
A prize that's been unnoticed
Like a jewel that has been lost
But now in silent meditation
You can hear His faint response.
Like a choir of angels singing
For we mortals here below,
if we take the time to listen,
His miraculous touch will flow.
Flow free from every corner
The invitation's clear
If you take the time to listen,
Then God's music you will hear.

Have a safe and blessed weekend, Family,
and remember all those who are being

Water the Flower
I picked a flower yesterday
and put it in a glass.
I filled the glass with water,
in hopes that it would last.
Its beauty overwhelmed me,
And its fragrance filled the air,
That it could last forever,
was the wish that I declared.
But, alas, the day had ended,
and as tomorrow came,
Its beauty was all faded;
It would never be the same.
How great that God's not like this flower,
That dies when it's been cut,
Each time we trip and stumble,
He is there to pick us up.
He's a Friend Who won't forsake us
If we water Him each day,
With our love and adoration,
And our willingness to pray.

Each morning is a fine new creation,
A fresh canvas on which to paint my day.
Help me look upward for inspiration,
Master Artist, guide my plans, I pray.
May I begin my work with grateful praise,
Apply my brush with fervent prayer,
My hand held by Your steady hand, Lord,
Warm colors spread with loving care.
Though I may paint no masterpiece,
The art that's wrought is Yours, and mine.
I humbly ask,
"Help me erase my willful flaws in our design."

A Prayer for Those We Love
"Our Father Who art in Heaven,"
Hear this little prayer
And reach across the miles today
that stretch from here to there.
So I may feel much closer
To those I'm fondest of
And they may know I think of them,
with thankfulness and love.
And help all people everywhere
Who must often dwell apart,
To know that they're together
in the haven of the heart!

Since this is Memorial Day, I wish to share with you,
a special poem, and it was written during the Desert
Storm mission. This poem still applies today, as well.
May God bless all the servicemen, servicewomen, who
are dedicating their time and abilities to the protection
of our country, and thanks to all those who
have done so in the past.
To Our Soldiers
I reach from the bottom of my heart,
for the words I wish to say.
I'd like this poem to be something special,
to help brighten and cheer your day.
Without your sacrifice, our country may not last;
Without your courage,
our military would surely fail the test.
Whenever you think of those that you have left behind,
to take care of all the chores,
Know that each task is undertaken gladly,
because we honor all that you stand for.
Each of you takes a stand for our freedom,
each of you is willing to lend a helping hand.
For what other purpose could there be as admirable,
as that of helping our fellow man?
Our streets may sometimes seem empty,
our homes without that familiar face.
But, we never forget that you are there,
in another time, in some distant place.
Our prayers are whispered softly,
as we lie down to sleep,
that your lives shall be spared,
and that you are His, to keep.
Good Night, to each and every one,
Thanks for a job, that is being well done.
We love you and miss you,
and are proud, indeed,
to know that our Americans are always,
there for others, in times of need.
