The Grace Game

[squirt]

Fights and battles, battles and fights,
Absolute terror throughout the night.
Watching my life, wither away,
Breaking, piece by piece, day by day.
From the darkness the demons come,
Not all at once, but one by one.
Lacking the wisdom that God supplies,
They lure me in with all their lies.
Just like a boxing match I fight each round,
As the bell dings with its echoing sound.
First comes temptation, it’s coming to deceive,
He disguises himself, so I fail to see.
He brings me in, with all his lies and his traps,
And almost defeats me when something just snaps.
The demon gets terrified as he looks up,
And sees Jesus standing there, filling my cup.
Temptation is defeated, and I’m free at last,
All of a sudden, another demon is cast!
Here comes pain, with heartaches and sorrows,
Making me feel, there’s no tomorrow.
My friends all leave me and say they don’t care,
They spread rumors and pretend I’m not there.
In my times of loneliness, God was all I had,
So I reached out to Him, when everything was bad.
The demon realized he'd failed once again,
For I turned to Jesus, and not to him.
The battle’s not over, they have one more shot,
As one more demon comes forth with a new plot.
One of my friends say they tried taking their life,
Taking my happiness and giving me strife.
Family members then pass away,
Leaving me clueless on what to say.
But there’s one thing I learned through all these rounds,
That’s to turn to the One who wears the crown.
I turn to God and I don’t sit and pout,
And everything seems to work itself out.
The demons are amazed at how much I’ve grown,
And leave me alone, for as far as I know.
I turn around and I look at the field,
Holding nothing but my sword and shield.
The battle was brutal, with things everywhere,
Yet I made it through, though it was hard to bear.
I turn to the Father in the heavens above,
As He looks down on me with eyes full of sweet love.
It may have been brutal, and hard to the end,
But thanks to the battle, I found a best friend.

it's funny, I came back here to see you and found myself re-reading that, feeling like I'm in a battle of my own at the moment, a demon that haunts me relentlessly, that thing called loneliness, I fear that I'm destined to forever be alone and I come here and I realize I'm never really alone, it doesn't make up for the missing companionship, but it will help get me through the night ... I love you RK, thank you for bringing me back here! *smooches!!!* love!

I found God today in an old woman's face
As she held my hands, I felt God's embrace
From problems in life I knew I would prevail
Which I felt through her hands so old and so frail

I found God today in the warmth of a friend
Who has given me strength for which I can depend
When life had me down and I felt so depressed
I realized through my friend just how much I was blessed

I found God today when I searched for so long
And it's now I realize, He's been there all along
In family and friends and in all who I see
Each day I find God and now I've found Him in me

AMEN doll and you are very welcome..that is what friends do sweety
smooches luv

COLORS FROM THE SON

With so many hues to choose from,
He made colors of each race,
There are red, and white and yellow ones
Just look at the color of the face,

With so many colors to choose from,
He made the grass green and the sky blue,
The sun is yellow too you know
And we know green and yellow make blue too.

The different tones He chose to use
Were created specifically for each thing,
The Color of the sun was chosen
Specifically by the Almighty King.

Brown for the ground, green for the leaves
Black for the dark of night
The myriad colors of the many flowers
He knew what He was doing was right,

Enjoy the colors that you see,
The beautiful sunrises are so great,
Each color He specifically chose
The God , which He did create.
