A LITTLE CLOSER TO HEAVEN
This page is a to show everyone that no matter what
our beliefs may be God is always with us in some form
This page was made in memory of my parents who have left
us for a better place and they are together again
I love you both and we will be together again someday
The following was given to me by a special friend
Heaven's Grocery Store
I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.One
day I saw a sign that read,"Heavens Grocery Store." As
I got a little closer the door came open wide,and when
I came to myself I was standing inside.I saw a host of
ANGELS.They were standing everywhere.One handed me a basket
and said,"My child shop with care." Everything a Christian
needed was in that grocery store.And all you couldn't carry,
you could come back the next day for more.First,I got some
PATIENCE:LOVE: was in the same row.Further down was UNDERSTANDING
you need that everywhere you go.I got a box or two of WISDOM,
a bag or two of FAITH.I just couldn't miss the HOLY GHOST,for
it was all over the place.I stopped to get some STRENGTH and
COURAGE to help me run this race.By then my basket was getting
full,but I remembered I needed some GRACE.I didn't forget
SALVATION, for SALVATION was free,so I tried to get enough
of that to save both you and me.Then I started up to the
counter to pay my grocery bill,for I thought I had everything
to do the MASTER'S will.AS I went up the aisle,I saw PRAYER
and I just had to put that in,for I knew when I stepped
outside I would run into sin.PEACE AND JOY were plentiful
they were last on the shelf.SONG and PRAISE were hanging
near,so I just helped myself.Then I sad to the angel,"Now,
how much do I owe?"He smiled and said"Just take them
everywhere you go." Again I smiled and said,"How much
do I owe?" He smiled again and said."MY CHILD
YOUR BILL A LONG,LONG TIME AGO."
"ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER YOU SHALL ASK IN PRAYER,BELIEVING
YOU SHALL RECEIVE."
(MATHEW 21:22)
Prayer
Lord make me an instrument of your peace,where there is
hatred,let me sow love;where there is injury,pardon;where
there is doubt,faith;where there is darkness,light;where
there is sadness;joy.
O Divine Master,grant that I may not so much seek to be
consoled as to console;to be understood,as to understand;
to be loved,as to love;for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying
that we are born to eternal life.......St. Francis of Assissi
This is one of my favorite poems
I find it very encouraging...
Footprints
One night a man had a dream
He dreamed he was walking along
the beach with the LORD
Across the shy flashed scenes of his life.
For each scene,
he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him
and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed
before him he looked back at the
footprints in the sand.He noticed that
many times along the path of his life,
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and sadest times of his life.
This really bothered him,
and he questioned the LORD about it.
"LORD, You said that once I decided to follow You,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,there is
only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you
most,you would leave me."
The LORD replied"My son, my precious child,
I love you,and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
Eternally My Lord
I have strayed to far
Forgotten so much
Given in too greatly for the sake of acceptance
But no more
Faith in you will be restored There is one God
One law
One was to eternal life
Only through the Father,Son,and the Holy Spirit
Will we know true peace and salvation You are my Lord
The Son of God
Three in one
Through this trinity strength will grow
Worries will change from the world
To Your plans for me
Fitting into a crowd is not as improtant
As fitting into Heaven
For though I am surrounded by millions
I am alone and lost without You
Eternally yours....
The following poem was e-mailed to me by a very lovely lady who asked that I please put it on my page and to not use her name...I respect and love her dearly and my prayers are always with her.....
Time is Growing Short
Now that life on earth for me is nearly over
And all my work on earth here is done
I look forward to going up to heaven
Where all souls are treated as one.
No more heartaches and no more pain
Just pleasure in meeting all again
There's mum and dad,aunts and uncles too
Grandpas and grandmas,cousins,quite a few
All my friends who have gone before
Some will be waiting at the great door.
To all those that I leave behind
May someday peace you'll find--
For up in heaven I'm to be,
So dry your tears,I'll wait for thee
This was my parents favorite
psalm so I decided to dedicate it to them
in their memory....
Twenty-Third Psalm
The lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me lie down in
green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the
still waters.
He restoreth my soul;He leadeth
me is the paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.
Yea,though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death,I
will fear no evil;for thou art
with me;thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil,
my cup runneth over.Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life:and I
shall dwell in the house of the
Lord forever........
