My Friend Joan I have a special friend I hope our friendship never ends. She was sent from God above To show me how to
love. My friend has much on her mind Yet takes the time to be kind I hope I will someday find I, too, can be thoughtful and kind. Never had anyone to care so much Sure am going to keep in touch With this very
special friend. Others also God sent Vessels that he lent To help me down the road And lift some of my load. I wondered how they did
so much. Though it’s hard now
for them to keep
in touch They remain in my thoughts through the day I thank God for His gifts as I pray, And the strength He gave. Sure am glad I was saved. -- Theresa C.

A Man Named Jesus There
was a man named Jesus Who
cared too much. Because
He cared so much People
laughed and grew afraid. That
didn’t stop Him. He
loved his enemies most. He
said I am not of this world, I
am God’s son. He
tried to tell them how to make The
world a better place; He
was a teacher, a very good one. He
told them to love one another, Even
if he isn’t your brother. Love
is what brings us together. Stop
running and listen. When
we are quiet, We
can hear God speak, We
can do his will. The
people laughed harder And
grew more afraid. Jesus
knew they would hurt him For
caring too much Yet
he obeyed his Father, “Forgive
them, for they know not what they do.”

Your Name You got it from your father It was all he had to give So it’s yours to use and cherish For as long as you may live If you lose a watch It can be replaced But a black mark on your name, Is hard to erase It was clean the day you took it And a worthy name to bear, When he got it from his father There was no dishonor there So make sure you guard it wisely, For after all is said and done You’ll be glad the name is spotless When you give it to your son.

OUR KING Our King was born many years ago In the winter when
it was cold. And no place to be warm, But his parents kept him from harm. Three wise men came from afar They followed a bright shining star He was God’s only begotten son, And there was suffering to be done. He died on the Cross at Wanting our souls
of sin to be free. When many reject Him
and do not believe, How our Savior does grieve. Be glad He is our King In charge of everything He earned our way to Heaven,
you see And is waiting there,
for you and me. He came to bring peace among men He is the Beginning and the End His name is Jesus; He is our friend. -- Theresa C. Maloney |
