Here is a poem I have just recently written about God's Word. Enjoy!
God's Word
The precious Word of God,
How I love with all my heart.
It's always true,
And always right!
It stands the test of time,
And never fades with the years.
His truth never changes,
It's the same today, yesterday, and forever.
Every time you open the 'Good Book',
Something new you'll be sure to learn
Doesn't matter how often you've read it,
It's always exciting, it's always new!
So dig into God's Word today,
And see what wonders you'll find!
Oh, the precious Word of God,
It holds untold treasures just for you!
God has spoken to us,
"Come unto me, and I will answer thee,
And show thee great and mighty things,
Which though knowest not."
So come into His Word today,
"Seek and ye shall find.
Knock and it shall be opened unto you,
Ask and you shall receive".
Isn't it just amazing what He has given,
With love for me and for you
His Word and Truth ,
Which will endure for ever for ever!
Oh, how I love God's Word! And may you too!
In Him,
Mae

Praying for each of the children - one a day
I've just started a new thing concerning praying for our children.
I almost always included praying for the children in my daily prayers, yet I was not completely satisfied with the way I was praying for them.
"I'd heard of many moms who would pray for each individual child in a quite a detailed prayer every day in their prayers.
But for me more often than not I found my self only praying for the one that day that caused me the most grief, or all of them in one big lump sum. Which I am sure is very good too. But as we know each child is different with different personalities, and each entail their own list of prayers.
So while I was thinking and praying on my dilemma one morning while in bed, this thought came to me, "Why not pray for one child each day of the week." And since I have 7 children it would work perfect. So I decided to start with my oldest one on the first day of the week, and work my way down ending with our last child on Sabbath ( the 7th day of the week). And then start all over with my oldest again on Sunday.
This is going on the third week now. And I'd say it is going very great, though sometimes when I start praying after getting into bed at night I do have to think a bit whose day it is and who I am to pray for that day. Then I start praying for that child along with my other prayer concerns. I pray on many pacific things for that child, things they are going through, any misbehavior, as well as their ambitions and interests, and that they grow in wisdom, and in love with God and His Word and truth.
I have never prayed with this much detail for each of the children before. So I am loving this knew arrangement! Note that this is not replacing the prayers I say with the children when I tuck them at night, this is just my personal prayer time for them.
Remember the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much! (James 5:10)
So keep up those prayers! It is worth all your time and effort!
In Him,
Mae
