For Being Kind

For Being Kind
Of the many friends I’ve treasured –
Those who’ve lived the longest time
Are the ones who were the kindest
With their gifts of heart and mind;
Never selfish; Never greedy ;
Never sparing loving care ;
Always sharing of their harvests ;
And the fortunes of their prayers.

They were always busy people –
Helping others with their needs-
And , forever ,sowing kindness
In their acts of Christian deeds;
None were, ever, rich or noble –
Or possessed of master minds ;
They were only humble people ,
God had blessed for being kind .
God Bless !
Jan Bagwell


Please be in prayer for David and Hali Bagwell , Scott and Elizabeth and Emily Bagwell , Mary Carpenter and her sister child and Frankie Wilson and Judy Howard ,Jan Bagwell

A New Day

A New Day

How lovely the sunrise and cool morning breeze
As silvers of sunlight silt through the trees .

The shadows are yawning about to depart ;
A new day is dawning ready to start .

The clouds are aglow with purples and red
As the moon and the stars crawl into bed .

A chorus of songbirds are singing a hymn
Praising the Master upon every limb .

The roses are drenched with cool morning dew ,
Each petal a diamond of lavender hue .

The curtains of heaven are changing to blue ….
A new day is dawning …waiting for you .
God Bless !
Jan Bagwell
Every day ,Our lovely God give us is a blessing .
Please be in prayer for David and Hali Bagwell , Scott and Elizabeth and Emily Bagwell , Mary Carpenter and Frankie Wilson and Judy Howard

He's Always Near

He’s Always Near
How wonderful is to know
That God is always near ,
That even just a whispered thought
He will most surely hear.

No matter what you’re doing
Nor what the time of day ,
He never is to busy
To listen as you pray ,

No need to kneel at beside ,
No need to close your eyes ,
You need not even fold your hands ,
He’s always at your side .

Remember just a thought , my friend ,
Of our Father up above
Will bring you such contentment
And will fill your heart with love.
God Bless ,
Jan Bagwell

Please remember Rev. David and Hali Bagwell in your prayers.

The Pathway

The Pathway
When I came to the foot
Of the cross ,dear Lord ,
I was beaten , and worn , and tired ;
You lifted me with Your loving arms
And left me , encouraged , inspired …
When I longed to give up
By the side of the road ,
You taught me to love , and to pray …
To live and have faith
In Your wonderful grace
In a strangely sweet infinite way …
And , oh how I praise Thee ,
My Savior and Lord ,
For the tears and the heartache I knew ;
The pain and the sorrows were all
Part of a plan ,
And the pathway that led me …to you!
God Bless !
