Just a few thoughts from the this Kentucky Mountain Woman...

Thoughts of You…


 


I awoke this morning…
with thoughts of you…
thoughts of joy and gratitude.
Thank you dear Lord for another day!
Though the temperatures they’ve been hot,
you graciously provide me with a cool shade.


I am thankful for I have breath in my body…
and along this way when I stumble,


You encourage me and guide my way.
Thank you Lord for all that you give…
so freely and sincere…
my family to love…
the food that I eat…
thank you Lord for shoes upon my feet.


I can imagine you now…
up there in Heaven looking down…
as your children here on earth we do trod,
a smile upon your face…
joy in your heart,
for you are our friend and our Father!
One more thing I must add…
I appreciate your grace you provide so freely…


My Heavenly Father,
my Savior…my God!


Oh…I almost forgot…
Today dear Lord…what may I do for you?

Thank you for bringing us this loving, thoughtful prayer so that we will remember: When we live with God within our heart, our future is to live in the heart of God.

And for you, dear Joyce, the future holds no dread,
For when your earthly work is done, heaven is just ahead.

Joyce, just beautiful. I could relate to Ricard's repy of this poem.
"A heart for the Lord will never be depleted or run out of energy." A true response. You have the Lord in your heart. An insight to beauty.

A heart for the Lord will never be depleted or run out of energy. A heart focused on Jesus Christ by His Holy Spirit will never be in want of anything good, and we will always have what we need to survive the day and bless others on the journey. Sorry that I missed this one Joyce - what a blessing!

Always reading Joyce E poems make me remember that little almost destroyed WWII church where I satt lost, tired and yet thinking on Him and the hand that has took me safe all the way so I could sit there without a fear in the world.
I said thanks, but never occurred to me to ask what I could do for Him.

This is quite a lovely poem Joyce. It tells of your thankful heart and God loves a thankful, grateful heart. Then you ad to top things off, "Oh, what may I do for you?"
So often we ask for things, for our prayers to be answered but forget to ask what God would have us do for Him.
Keep writing Joyce, you have a truthful loving tender heart,it's truly refreshing!
Love you, Holly
