Be Thankful for God's Grace

Thanksgiving is approaching and we should all take time to thank God for his love and mercy toward us! Take this time to enjoy being with family and friends and honor the Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus!

Poem: The City of Gold

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,

what God has in store for us.

He has given us a glimpse in his word,

of his creation of the City of Gold.

We have no need of the sun,

for God is the light of the city.

Tears gone for our sorrows are done,

Happiness with Jesus, our Lord.

The City has twelve Gates.

Sparkling and made of pearls.

The City of Gold awaits,

Full of singing, laughter and joy.

No fighting, cursing, sin or strife,

Beauty unimaginable is there.

Clear as crystal is the river of life,

proceeding out of the throne of God.

Twelve types of fruit are on a tree,

from the Garden of Eden, The tree of life.

Sin has no hold, we are set free,

Peace with God our Father up above.

Each foundation is made of Precious stones,

for the City has twelve foundations.

There is a mansions that each person owns,

God has given to us liberally and freely.

Up there a beautiful place it will be,

Prepared and adorned by God for us.

All Christians will hear and see,

Well done, good and faithful servant.

The Other Side

This earth is where I reside,
but Heaven will be where I abide.
I am passing through to the other side.
Teaching others and being their guide,
Saints will enter Heaven when they’ve died,
If they are loving and repent when they have lied.
On our journey, Jesus will be one day be by our side,
Heaven will rejoice and the gates will be opened wide.
Love unending, joy fulfilling, peace indwelling, teary eyed.
Jesus will be standing there and we will always be at his side.
No more pain, sorrow or hurt, no more boasting, no more pride.
The Lord will gather the church, and usher it forth as a chosen bride.
