I said a prayer for you today and I know God must have heard
I felt the answer in my heart although He spoke no word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind)
I asked Him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He'd be near you at the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small
But it was for His loving care I prayed most of all.
This was a prayer on a card from The Omaha Home for Boys it seems fitting for this page of prayer
and I wanted to share it with you.
The grass withereth, the flowers fadeth;
but the word of our God shall stand forever!

Time Is Near
I am old is this life.
I have lived more than most have,
I have seen more history than some remember,
I have seen the movement of GOD about as much as any one has.
This body is old and is pushing it's limit,
I have about every sickness it can get,
My eyes are bad enough where I cannot read the bible.
My mind is on the blink of leaving,can't think good anymore,
My feet need help walking,
I need help bathing,
I need help eating,
I need help in breathing.
My vocal cords are shot,I can hardly talk now , nor sing.
I used to deliver a sermon and stomp and snort and shout from
the pulpit!
Now,my body is old and time is near, near for me to go.
Here lately I have heard GOD talk to me more than any time before,
He tells me son..the ole ship of zion is coming,it's almost time
to get on board...
Thousands have boarded already..next stop your place.
I tell him LORD take care of my wife,family and friends.
Let them know all this is possible,because I believed in a hill
called Mount Calvary.
As I gently close my eyes to go home,I can see angels standing over
me with spread open wings saying,
Come now the ship is here,the port call has been given.
I look at my wife one last time and say:
Dear,I have always loved you and will go home loving you,I will wait
for you at Jordon.
I look at my other family,and say I have lived a good life to the
fulliest of GODs' command,
I also will wait for you at Jordon. As I take my last breath of air,
I
can now see the ole ship of
zion and at the door is the *MASTER* saying...
you're home now son,welcome to the land of milk and honey.
I gently go on board never more to return to this life.
Amen!
Someday you will come and :
I will be sad
I will be hurting
I will be crying
but don't cry...
for Jesus is with me.
Someday:
You will come to visit me
and I will not be there...
you will look for me at my hang outs
my friends
my church
my prayer room
you will ask at my home...
where is he?...
they will tell you he is not here any more:
Don't cry:
just look over to chilly Jordan ,
you will see me crossing it with;
Matthew,Mark,Luke,John and all the
other saints.
NOW:
if you are still crying for my loss,
then come and join me at the table of the lamb,
for there is room for you
take my hand
as I stretch it out for you and come along.
BUT:
if you're still not ready to come,
don't cry for me,
for you see...
I will be where there will be no more sorrow,
no evil,no crying, no death...
for I will be kneeling at the feet of JESUS washing them and thanking
him for saving me...
and above all for bringing me home to him.
