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

Mother's Day by: Maxine M. (this is cute) Our first parents lived in a paradise of ease Their original days were without toil, doing as they pleased Enjoying God's garden of bountiful, fruitful trees There was nothing to fear, as all the animals were tame As they came one by one for Adam to name The perfect marriage, there was no one else to blame The ideal life, but one thing they both never knew Was the loving touch of a Mother, as not from childhood they grew Of that special bond from child to Mother, they had no clue A Mother hadn't warned, "Don't talk to that snake" "He's not what he seems, he's a phony and a fake" "If you listen to him, it will bring sorrow and heartache" So Eve raised her children without Mother's advice Labor pains and discomfort were disobedience's price A Mother certainly would have made her think twice When the question "why do it this way?" came around She couldn't reply, "It...

WHAT DID JESUS SEE? by Maxine M. The world saw Peter as an unlearned fisherman, nothing special at all Simply mending his nets, hoping today would yield a big haul BUT what did Jesus see? He saw the one whom He'd call "The Rock" The one to found His Church, the leader of His flock The world saw Levi as a dreaded tax collector Lowest of the low, a traitor, considered a Roman defector BUT what did Jesus see? He saw him as Matthew with a loyal heart, faithful and true Knew he would be useful in the ministry he was to do The world saw the Pharisees as superior, righteous, ceremoniously clean Loving to stand in public, praying just to be seen BUT what did Jesus see? He saw them as hypocrites, fools, blind guides Saw them as well-polished tombs, but inside rottenness hides The world saw Saul as an enthusiastic, young Pharisee filled with zeal Persecuting new Christians, their newly found joy to steal BUT what did Jesus see? He saw him as Paul, a specially chosen vessel, a sinne...

Childlike Faith By: Maxine M. A short time ago, a long-time politician was laid to rest The last of the patriotic brothers…in America, their lives they’d invest People lined the streets expressing grief, paying tribute & honor with considerable zest A crowd gathered on the Capital’s steps engrossed in this somber affair But did you notice the small children quietly playing without a care? Just having fun, making faces at each other while parents were unaware Wiggling & anxious to be on with life…shed those “good” clothes that must stay clean Unconcerned what “Teddy’s” passing would bring to the political scene Confident & trusting their parents would keep life safe & serene For children are children in spite of color, nationality or religious creed Where prejudice hasn’t been formed, childlike acceptance will intercede They’re refreshingly innocent…not yet carrying our burden of ‘will I succeed’ T...
