Tick-Tock: A Poem

By
I was going through some articles I'd written a while back and came across this poem I wrote with my daughter who was nine at the time. Thought I'd share!

 Tick-Tock, Tick-tock, the time is on the clock,
Wake up, Wake up, its 7 oclock,
 It's time for school, get out of bed,
 Get on your clothes and step ahead,
Brush your hair and wash your face,
Comb the hair thats out of place,
Pack your bag with all your books,
Give your brothers dirty looks,
Sit at the table with bacon and eggs,
Put your napkin across your legs,
Bow your head for a word of prayer,
Thanking God for being there,
Thanking Him for His saving grace,
For sending His son to take MY place,
Thank Him for the heavens above,
Thank Him for His unfailing love,
Thank Him for safety as we leave our home,
Pray for others who have lost souls,
This is the way we begin our day,
As Christian soldiers, we lead the way.

Blessed in Christ

Consider what it means to be blessed in Christ with every spiritual blessing. Take 2-3 minutes to prayerfully think about how you could approach your day today with this in mind. When you have a moment of decision or a crisis today, recite your verse quietly to yourself. Then go forward in faith, believing "God has blessed me in Christ with every spiritual blessing." Trust in His strength and remember His love for you. ~Laurie Aker

Dr. Kenneth Ulmer blessed us a few Sundays ago... Here are my notes from his sermon. When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ( Matthew 5 : 1-3 NASB) Jesus pronounced, declared the people in the multitude "happy". Blessed = Happy, happiness. But not a happiness as the world knows.  He speaks of the term of the "gods" which is a state where you're unaffected by the world of men, doesn't waiver with the rise and fall of your circumstances of life.  First exhortation was to repent - a change of mind, change of direction.  Root word = mind, to think.  An intellectual dimension of following Christ.  Go beyond or go further than.  To think beyond what you thought.  Something about repentance that enables you to see beyond the right now to the not yet.  You are ...

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

People will let you down. The only opinion you should accept about who you are and your self worth is The Lord's. Stop listening to people and internalize what your Heavenly Father says about who you are.  Remember,  God's word is true... You are precious in His sight.
