FREE!! Available to All
By: Maxine M.

NOTHING catches our attention like a big sign that says “FREE”
A crowd will quickly gather…is that something I can use? Let me see
Because obtaining something “without cost” brings a feeling of glee

Free samples, free lessons, free tickets to the big game tonight
Free puppies, free kittens…these will bring a child such delight
The free beauty of a summer sunset…what an awesome sight

A gardener usually announces FREE zucchini by summer’s end
Mail order catalogues often promote FREE Shipping on the items they send
And it doesn’t COST anything to cheerfully greet strangers, neighbors or friend

There’s the free air we breathe, free advice for what that’s worth…you decide
Now, to some free things, CAUTION & SCRUTINY need to be applied
Like teaching children NEVER from strangers accept a free ride!

A promise of a free lunch is extended IF you sit and listen to a sales pitch
But be WARY of anything “FREE” that guarantees it will make you rich
Guard against the “FREE” bait in a dishonest scheme…life seldom goes without a hitch

Is this really free or is there a hidden attached string somewhere?
Check the bottom line, read the FINE print…of obscure motives, BEWARE!!
Free is only free when there’s no CONDITIONS we need to share

Stores and magazine racks are full of free literature…just take one & read
Can you spot GENUINE TRUTH? Or is the enemy planting his seed
Well let me tell you of the GREATEST FREE GIFT EVER! YES!! Free indeed

For the Gift of Salvation can NOT EVER be earned or bought
Because it was FULLY paid for by Christ’s Blood…as the Bible has always taught
And it’s accompanied by that inner-peace man has SO long sought

And it comes WITHOUT strings, secret agenda, concealed motives or hidden clause
It’s a ROCK SOLID CERTAIN FREE GIFT…not just desperately grasping at straws
A Gift offered by the Father out of His agape love for man…even with all his flaws

So NO bargain hunter ever found as a good a DEAL as this one
Eternal Life in Heaven, just by ACCEPTING this FREE Gift provided by His Son
Why would you turn down this proposal? Why wouldn’t you immediately run…

Run as quickly as you could to “cash in” on this deal…fall on your knees
For the offer is AVAILABLE to ALL…He hears all sincere repentant pleas
Lord, thank You for paying for my Salvation…Forgive my sins, please!!

The evidence has been examined, there’s only one CHOICE we conclude
And that is in accepting my Free Gift…it will change my FOCUS and attitude
And everything I do from this point on will reflect my praise and gratitude

GOT TROUBLES? by Maxine M. We read of tragedies in the paper, see them on tv every day We're shocked and saddened, but soon just go on our way We may send a comforting message, really not knowing what to say But then!! As is inevitable, a crisis strikes us or our loved one In panic we ask "why"? Who can help? What can be done? Now there's no putting it out of mind, there's no place to run When YOU get the call in the middle of the night When YOUR doctor says "I'm sorry, this report shows something is not right" When YOUR job is lost, it was Your house that burned...what a fright Then trouble becomes personal, there's no room for apathy Our desire is..Of this pain, sorrow, grief... to be set free! But, knowing WHERE to turn, that's the vital key Counselors, doctors, and medicine can only help to a certain degree Support from friends & family is wonderful we all agree But when all is "said and done"; Dear Lord, it's just You a...

Hope vs. Certainty by: Maxine M Hope: Webster defines as the feeling of what we want will happen, our desire we'll see Also as the person or thing from which this expectation will come to be Now each person's hope varies to an individual degree Certainty: fixed, settled, sure, positive....that which we can not doubt Thy Word, oh Lord, forever settled in Heaven!!, a certainty we can shout North is always north, truth is always true...not matter what else comes about Mary and Martha HOPED Jesus would come, so brother Lazarus wouldn't have to die Disappointed & let down...tears of sorrow they would cry But the CERTAINTY was, Jesus IS the Lord of Life, death's victory He could deny The disciples HOPED the Messiah would free them from Roman domination, in their day That Israel would be exaulted...all enemies made to pay The CERTAINTY was, He came to free us from sin, Salvation had just come their way David clung to HOPE, that God would relent...his child He would spare...

Milk and Meat By: Maxine A baby’s distressed wail fills the night…“I’m hungry” is what is meant For newborns WANT & NEED milk to keep them happy & content Milk!! Nature’s perfect food, promoting growth & development…good health will represent But then as time goes on, solid foods are introduced, much to their delight Cereals & mashed vegetables to help a baby sleep through the night Then finally MEAT as their digestive system develops, acquiring strength & might Now, the bible states that as Christians, we move from “milk” to “meat” as we mature & grow Remember!!, how verses like John 3:16, in our “infancy”, made our faces glow That 1st realization that GOD LOVES US…the greatest love we’ll ever know Beautiful psalms soothed our spirit, chased away fear, brought His presence near As a parent quiets their child, we could feel His everlasting arms appear Promises of one day knowing He...
