THE CROSS OF JESUS Dear Precious Jesus on the cross you hung. Died for me, suffered for all I have done. Not once did you ever do anything wrong. Out of love for me the pain you took on. Died for me so I may live in heaven with you. Thank you Dear Jesus for your love so true. I think of you every moment of my life. How you endured such agony & STRIFE. You, Jesus, give me courage through my fears. Strength to go on and wipe away my tears. You are my rock I lean on each & every day. My strength, my refuge, you in my heart will stay. So as I focus on your cross daily & during Lenten season. I am reminded of your blood for my transgression. I love you my precious Jesus loving and kind. Thank you for bearing the cross, you are divine. Written by Clara (copyrighted) THANK YOU PRECIOUS LOVING JESUS!

Love This is the month of valentines. The time of the year where love shines. We tell our loved ones we love them so. Cards are sent, roses delivered, love doth flow. I Praise our Lord for my husband, family, & friends. And most of all for the love that He sends. When I think of love so pure and divine. I reflect of the love God sends through all time. He loved us so much that He sent His Son. To save us from our sins, a love gift to everyone. So it is with thankful heart to God I give Praise today. For His unconditional love He shows me day to day. His love is forever, the bible tells us it is true. His Love shines bright & is there for me and you. My prayer is that everyone can feel God reaching down. To each & everyone to feel renewed in God’s love truly found. We are so blessed in God’s love we receive in our lives. We receive renewed strength, courage, hope, in His love we thrive. (Written by Clara Schell) 2003 “FAITH, HOPE & LOVE. BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 MOTHER'S DAY BLESSINGS What a special blessing to be a Mother. Children add joy, completing a family. Nurturing, loving, caring, hours of fun. The first smile, tooth, word, very lovingly. The school days pass quickly by. Programs, sport events, concerts each year. Soon is graduation and higher education. Time quickly passes by it is clear. Now weddings have taken place through time. Grandchildren arrive bringing added joy. Such special blessings watching the parents. Good traditions and care for each girl and boy. Each and every day I Praise our Lord God. For the blessings of being a Mother. No other joy fills my heart with pride. Blessings from my Special Heavenly Father. For a Mother's Love builds character. Is patient, kind, uplifting, forgiving. Teaching, guiding, encouraging, faithful. Great reward in way family continue living. I pray to our Lord each and every day. For wisdom to "let go", let them be free. To continue their journey in life daily. Trusting God has plans, He will guide thee.
