September 16, 2007 Family

The Family

Each different in appearance

Each sharing love, acceptance, and a place to Be

Each a model for the church

A place where we can love and be loved

A place where we can accept and be accepted

A place where each of us can Be

Thanks be to God

September 9, 2007 Peacock

The Peacock, a symbol of immortality;

A reminder of the life that Christ passes onto us

The only requirement for such a gift-

That we call upon His Name.

Thanks be to God.

September 2, 2007 Angels

Angel Friend

Angels are everywhere.

Even when you don't know it,

They could be anyone at any time,

And they might not even show it.

They could be that quiet girl,

Or that man on the street,

Be nice to them,

Show them care,

It could be a test,

A test from God to see your character.

If you don't,

Switch places with them,

Step into their shoes,

Would you want someone to be kind to you,

That's for you to choose

In the end

Your best friend

Could be an angel.
