The Gift
In shells of glass
And failing flesh
the heart of God resides
And in the frailest earthen ware
A kingdom so abides
With feet of clay
and trembling hands
we bear The Gift today
As Joseph’s bride and he
once did
when, wrapped in cloths it lay.
No regal horns
nor crowd’s acclaim
proclaimed this Gift; this King
And when we daily give the Gift
No earthly choirs sing.
It’s our embrace
of those who ache
which ushers in the Lord,
And our own voices,
played with grace,
may herald in His Word.
Everyone…it might be a day or two before I get the rest of this up. Nothing bad, I’m just going to be REALLY tied up for a bit. blessings to all…Jim

PS Just read your ‘interest’ and just had to share that it put a smile on my face – from ear to ear!!!
“I am in love with God my Father”…Wow, brother. That’s beautifully bold! Much like a man on bended knee before our King! A statement which reflects great strength and character! It’s always such blessing to have a witness of godly men! Thanks for living your faith out loud! :O) ~Be blessed.
Bravo, my friend! That could be a hymn! Do you have any music to it? Wow…amazing. I love it!
Ryc: No, it doesn’t.
Looking forward to the more after you are rested. I have been reading a book called Unexpected Journeys of how people come to Christ from various backgrounds from agnostics to Buddhists, Muslims, etc. The key component is Christian love and reaching out with care.

Children of Zion Behold, The Bridegroom Cometh!
It’s truly amazing what is happening in our world. Never before has prophecy been more meaningful and pertinent to our daily life. Incredible prophecies are being fulfilled right before our very eyes. What a thrilling time to be alive! You may ask “why are we so excited about this being the end time?” We are excited because all of these Final prophecies whisper Jesus is coming back soon!
The Rapture is when those who love Jesus go with Jesus Christ to heaven in a Twinkling of an eye,and those left behind will be forced to think weird explanations, like the Multitudes of People who disappeared went into a ufo etc.
After the Rapture, the world will be in chaos immediately. Some people will be raptured while driving in their cars, causing the cars to crash. Some people will disappear while working the most important jobs in the country, and once they disappear, cities will be destroyed. Planes will crash, electricity will go out, and phone lines will be jammed for days.If you think THIS sounds bad, the Judgements are much worse. Dont Be Left Behind!
