A Moment in Time
By: Maxine M.

We often forget how in a moment in time our life can change
Situations & events we never stopped to consider can suddenly rearrange
They happen to OTHERS…but aren’t WE IMMUNE to circumstances so strange?!

But in a moment in time we find change…it CAN come to us ALL
That life altering moment we didn’t see coming…perhaps by a traffic accident or unexpected fall
A new unplanned direction is now a REALITY…a modified lifestyle we must install

Are we prepared for those life changing moments that will certainly come our way?
Whether they are JOYFUL moments we can embrace on any given day
Like the birth of a baby…a PERMANENT change in lifestyle will convey

A once in a lifetime financial opportunity or new friendship to lighten life’s heavy load
A celebration of a life milestone achieved or a full payment of a debt owed
OR those DEVASTATING moments when life takes a sharp bend in the road

Times when our daily routine is turned upside down & there’s no understanding the WHYS
A marriage broken by outright betrayal and lies
A pink slip in a paycheck…fear now is realized

In a moment in time a frail heart can stop beating…bringing loved ones despair
A child’s innocence stolen, those impulsive sins one normally wouldn’t dare
All those circumstances when we’re powerless to simply go back and repair

Hurtful words spoken, stability is gone, life never to be the same
Everyday we can see nature’s fury strike with all the unpredictability it can contain
Detours in our CHARTED course with really no one to blame

A government decision…trillions in debt IS NOT the American dream
A disabling injury that will now affect the entire team
Devil inspired plots & schemes that rob us of our peace coming in on endless stream

That shocking scandal exposed about someone we thought honorable to the core
Dark secrets brought to light change opinions like never before
Relationships can change in a moment in time…like the closing of a door

Are we sure HOW we will handle all the UNEXPECTED life can bestow?
In the face of that UNASKED for trouble, heartache and woe
Do we possess a strength & courage that before we haven’t had to show?

But now, at some moment in time, every soul has a CONSCIOUS DECISION to make
A decision as to which of two eternal paths to take
And it must be a GENUINE choice because God Almighty can spot a fake

Because the SINGLE BIGGEST moment in which life can take a drastic turn
Is when you ACCEPT or REJECT Jesus…rejection leads to Hell’s fires that burn
Accepting assures a future that cannot be lost…a gift you can never earn

And SOON there’ll be a moment in time when a trumpet will sound
In a twinkling of an eye, those who HAVE accepted, no where on earth will be found
For an eternity of wonderful moments in time His redeemed will be bound

So live in expectation of what each new day may bring
Remember His words “I’ll never leave you”…to this promise daily cling
Knowing that in the final outcome, we will rejoice in Christ our King!

WAR!! By: Maxine M WE are at WAR!! Not just the one we see on television every night This is a SUBTLE war, so subtle perhaps we don't even realize we're in a fight Or who the enemy is, but BEWARE!, this enemy has weapons of powerful might The weapons of this enemy we face, have been around since time began This daily war is the war of that "Serpent of Old" verses man When Eve first saw him, she should have turned around and ran For she wasn't an equal match for this enemy's 'half-truths' and outright lies Gleefully, he thought he had won when he heard her labor's cry Thinking, NOW, against the rule of their Creator, all her offspring will defy But he's only won a battle, the full blown war was only about to start And it still rages today...the war for man's soul, mind and heart The stakes are HIGH, don't underestimate him, for he is cunning, wiley and smart Most "soldiers" just do what they have to do, b...

The Last Ride by: Maxine M (in dedication to a fellow Christian who lost his life) What a lovely day!! Riding in the fresh spring air, what a thrill A "bike" gives such freedom, lets you go wherever you will But, unknowingly, death waited at the top of the hill A careless moment & a poor decision...quickly a life can be lost Someone else's mistake, but the innocent paid the ultimate cost There was no going back, a line forever crossed Life ceased in an instant, leaving a young family and friends behind In that moment, the word "tragedy" was clearly defined Life's priorities for the survivors were dramatically realigned Two lives...one's soul now vanished and gone, the other now saddled with guilt One's dreams destroyed, the future he hoped could be built The threads of life unraveled!!, into pieces enough to make a patchwork quilt The other's life too, forever changed even if he doesn't realize it yet This scene will play over and over in...

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...
