"I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER'

Tho I may not know
what life may have in store
I know that the Lord
will Love me forever more
He came into my life
and it was filled so deep in sin
He touched my left shoulder
for me to let him in
I saw my life before me
as I felt His tender touch
I knew right away
that He loved me very much
To take His time
to show me about right and wrong
And give me a chance
to change my life as I go along
I couldn’t see that I was so bad
It took His eyes
to open mine to what I had
I’ll never forget His touch
and never forget His hand
that guided me forward
to reach the Promise land
Thank you Lord for your
great Love
I need your strength
from above.

"JUST ME A HUMAN"

Many times I sit and wonder
if there is anything in this life
That I may have said or done
That God might think was right
I feel so low, unworthy of all
I have been given
That I hope He still sees in
my heart and says I’m forgiven
For there are many a bad thought
I wish I could erase
And many a word spoken in anger
I’d like to be replaced
And only have the good that
God put deep in my heart
to surface at all times and there
would be no room for the mean parts
Still I know I’m only human
and have a lot of human ways
but someday when this life is
finished that will be my perfect days.

"FRIENDS"

God gives us friends
to help us in need
To lend a helping hand
by doing great deeds
We may think gifts and things
are important in this life
But love from friends and
special prayers help in times of strife
So if we look for friends
we don’t have to look far
Because God sends them to us
as a special gift, where ever we are
Always remember each special
friend and give thanks often
So they may receive what
they give
God bless my friends for he has
sent me too many to count
Give them the blessings in their life
in very large amounts.

God gave this poem when my Grandmother died. It helped me in my sorrow. He gives me so many poems to ease pain, strive , worry and sorrows in my life. I wanted to share these special moments that I have had with Him. I am not a perfect Christian, I Love my Lord and Savior very much. He has helped me in so many ways and so many losses in my life. I have been through many lost, close loveones. They were so special to me. But, he blessed me by letting them be part of my life, and for them loving me just the way I am. I am nothing special or great, and I don’t want to be. I have everything in life I need, when the Lord touched my left shoulder about 24 years ago. I have been a very hard person for My Lord to try and teach. I still have so much I want to learn. You see I was just as low as anyone else that still lives in sin. I still have some of the things I would like to change. But, step by step the Lord is trying to teach me. I have to pray a lot, because I am not the best student. God Bless each person that reads these. I can not write poetry. The poems you see were given to me from God. I don’t know how, but they were given to me to help me heal my pains, hurts, and sorrows. They were given in times of troubles.

I am a person that has been through grief, mental brake down, failures, losses, turmoil, and disappointments. I am just like anyone else. I’m only human. I will continue with some more poems. Thanks for letting me share this message about me.

"IN MEMORY OF MY VERY SPECIAL GRANDMOTHER"

The gentle breeze that touches my hair
The sunshine on a spring day
All remind me of your Love
That touches me in a special way
A light summer shower that fills the air
The flowers that bloom everywhere
All remind me of your love
That carries thru, even from above
I picked a daisy small and blue
It so reminded me of you
That daisy bloomed just for you
The pure loveliness was as true
The Love you gave to all around
Is in the air, the trees, and ground
The Love so pure, true and great
Was here for all from day to day
That Love still shines, though you are gone
It’s in our hearts where it belongs
So soft, so sweet, so kind and free
We’ll miss your smile, your warm embrace
There will be no one to take your place
The Love you gave was a special gift
Now that is all we have left.

"My brother was a very smart and wonderful person. He was a collage professor. Very smart! He also had a special gift of Love for his family. I thank God that he was my brother. He died of cancer at the age of 45. I still miss him. This next poem God gave me when we found out that my brother had cancer to help me in the pain, maybe it will help someone else’s pain."

"AT MY JOURNEY’S END"

All alone in the valley I knelt
with no one to feel what I felt
Then my Lord heard my plea
and He gently answered me.
He said, child, I’m right here beside you
I hear your cry, I know your pain, I understand
just keep your eyes upon me
and I’ll lead you to that promised land.
So I keep my eyes on my Savior
He is leading me today
and when I fall or stumble
He lifts me and clears my way.
He carries me in my weakness
He lifts my heavy loads
I know I’m a troublesome soldier
struggling on Calvery’s road.
The journey at last is ending
and I’m reaching canaan’s land
There I can sing with the angels
and join their happy band.
No more pain, no sorrows
Up there no more toll or strife
Just rejoicing and praising
in that wonderful eternal life.

"Everyone at some time get a feeling that someone else may be judging them. I had that feeling so great and the Lord gave me this:"

"JUDGE NOT

Judge not, for as you judge
so shall you be judged

Though you may sting me
with your words
and scorn me to shame
I shall not judge you
because I know not your heart.
You may be hurting or
in great grief or pain
Deep inside yu may not
mean to hurt me
So if I judge you wrong
then when I am hurting or in pain
and sting with words or deeds
I will be judged the way
that I have judged you.

By: Glenda Oden

"I often get in some kind of confussion and don’t know what to do. But I remember wanting to be better so bad that the Lord gave me this:"

"MAKE ME A BLESSING"

Lord, I needed your blessings
you’ve given me today
I need your tender mercies
to lead for me the way
I know I’ve often failed you
and been so week and low
I’m trusting in your precious Love
to help me here below
To lead and guide my footsteps
and carry me across the tide
To make me a blessing, Lord,
forever with you to abide.

FORGIVENESS FROM THE HEART

We must forgive from our heart

To receive the peace that God gives

To see each day with gladness

And wipe away all our pain

To enjoy life with all richness

And love, peace and joy

We have to forgive from our heart

With all our humble self

To reach the highest of all highs

We can rise above the world

For when we forgive all others

We can forgive ourselves
