What Does the Future Hold?
BY: Maxine M.

Remember the beautiful song that was released a few years ago
Proclaiming how the writer could ONLY IMAGINE the wonder Heaven would bestow
What will we do when face-to-face with Jesus?! Who can truly know?

Our imagination simply cannot comprehend the splendor of that day
The awesomeness that awaits those who have CHOSEN to obey
How can mere words describe? Are there any His Glory fully convey?

We can only imagine how wonderful that experience will be
Eternal joy & happiness just by ACCEPTING, in FAITH, that His death & resurrection has set us free
But can we even BEGIN to imagine the hopelessness of those who have never bowed their knee?!

Where do they turn when life brings heartache & sorrow…and surely it will
Health, prosperity, excitement, romance…many days a life will fill
But it’s INEVITABLE that it will fade in time…all will lose its thrill

How can they be confident in decisions made if advice hasn’t been sought in prayer?
Or if there’s no precise Divine blueprint to which we can refer & share?
I cannot imagine just relying on “human” wisdom when life sends “storms” for which to prepare

When doubt & loneliness invades the dark night filling a soul with fear & dread
I cannot imagine not being able to turn to the “WORD” and the passages we’ve so often read
Sending defeat & despair fleeing…feeling that surge of new strength instead

Can you imagine the feeling of “sinking sand” when their castles crumble & fade
Instead of the “Rock” solid foundation of the promises Jesus made?
The absolute CERTAINTY that OUR sin debt HAS been paid

On what is their hope of tomorrow based? Where are the reserves of strength time can exhaust?
How will trust & security be restored when the line of fidelity in marriage has been crossed?
WHERE will comfort come from when the dearest on earth to them has been lost?

And somewhere on life’s path, our OWN mortality, we’ll be FORCED to face
Be it as a soldier in harm’s way…perhaps overseas or even a US Military Base
Perchance on a busy highway from a drunk driver or one traveling at a reckless pace

Or age & disease may be declaring the end will be near
I cannot even imagine how the UNKNOWN would cause enormous fear
The uncertainty of WHAT lies beyond this veil…will judgment be severe?

How can life be truly enjoyed when it’s uncertain what an eternal future will hold?
But you CAN find total Blessed Assurance when in His plan of Salvation you’re enrolled
Can you imagine the perfect inner-peace when, by CHRIST, you’re life is controlled?!

All it takes is this one time forever life changing decision
Of accepting God’s GIFT of GRACE with its promises, protection & provision
And then ENJOY the most astounding Riches in Glory you can ever envision!

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...
