Sunday Poem ~ Reach Out

In everyone’s life there comes a time
when our faith is put to the test,
and we feel that we’re losing touch with God,
though we’re doing our very best.
It may seem that the world is against us,
and there’s no one around to care,
but if we just “reach out” we’ll find
that God is always there.
If we let Him [...]

Sunday Poem ~ He Will Never Fail

Can the sun forget its rising?
Can the stars forget to shine?
Can the moon forget its duty?
Then can God His will resign.
Can the sea forget to roar?
Can the waves cease and be still?
Can the waters stop giving?
Then God can forget His will.
Can the skies above be measured?
Can the foes of God prevail?
Can a man earth’s structure [...]

Sunday Poem ~ Small Valentines

Something sticky this way comes;
I feel the prickling in my thumbs,
Syrupy verse or even worse,
Chocolate,waxed and runny.
Something sticky this way comes
With tattered lace or grimy crumbs,
Elastic sweets or homemade treats,
Hidden in a pocket.
Something sticky this way comes,
Love smeared with candied mediums,
A tiny face, where one can trace
Uncomplicated giving.
by Elizabeth R. Crummer
Happy Valentines Day!

Sunday Poem ~ Point of View

I’ve heard it said it all depends
Upon your point of view,
The happiness you get from life,
And how things look to you.
And the longer that I’m living,
I’ve really come to see,
That this is just as true a fact,
As anything could be.
If you always look for sorrow,
Then you’ll have it seven-fold,
If you go in search of rainbows,
You [...]

Sunday Poem ~ God Bless You

I seek in prayerful words, dear friend,
My heart’s true wish to send you,
That you may know that, far or near,
My loving thoughts attend you.
I cannot find a truer word,
Nor better to address you;
Nor song, nor poem have I heard
Is sweeter than God bless you!
God bless you! So I’ve wished you all
Of brightness life possesses;
For can [...]

Sunday Thought ~ Honesty and Truth

Of all people,
Christians ought to make sure
that they are dealing in things that are honest and true.
~David Cloud

Sunday Poem ~ For the Season a Time

This morning at daybreak,
I looked at the sky,
Today would be cloudy
The “weather not dry”
The season is winter,
But, then yesterday,
It seemed that the springtime
Had melted away
All traces of chill
That called winter weather,
But today would be rain
And would bring stormy weather.
I pondered a while
Then I wondered aloud,
Why one should feel blue
Just because of a cloud,
For a cloud [...]

Sunday Poem ~ Facing A New Year

Standing at the portal of the opening year,
Words of comfort meet us, hushing every fear;
Spoken through the silence by our Father’s voice,
Tender, strong, and faithful, making us rejoice,
Onward then, and fear not, children of the day!
For His Word shall never, never pass away!
For the year before us, oh, what rich supplies!
For the poor and needy [...]

Sunday Poem ~ Golden Prayers

On this hallowed eve of Christmas…may you discover anew this splendor of the star…the exultant song of herald angels….
May you find in the Child of the manger all that you seek…faith, hope, a deeper understanding…of charity and brotherly love.
In this golden hour of the miracle of Bethlehem…may the beauty of quiet thoughts encompass [...]

Sunday Poem: I See Thy Glory, Lord

From the smallest flower to the tallest tree,
I see Thy glory, Lord.
From the babbling brook to the mighty sea,
Thy handiwork’s explored.
From the morning sun to the stars at night,
I see Thy glory, Lord.
From the winter snows to spring’s delight,
Thy name has been adored.
From the cotton fields to the western plains,
I see Thy glory, Lord.
From the [...]
