God’s Bountiful Blessings

Looking in the garden made me think
Look how much food is coming up!
Just from one little plant
We can feed several families
Another example of God’s generosity

Ask God for one thing and He gives several things
He goes above and beyond what was asked
God is the epitome o generosity
Let us give thanks or His bountiful blessings.

Scripture Reference:
Psalm 7:6 Then shall the earth yield he increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

Special Attention

Not from a close knit family
Many who loved now gone on to glory
But when I feel dejected or lonely
God does something special to comfort me
It’s like no matter the billions of people in society
God still gives special attention to me

Whether it’s late at night
Or early in the day
He’s available to hear what I got to say
When I have to walk alone
I feel His spirit besides me
It makes me think
Whom am I that Thou art mindful of me? (Psalm 8:4)

When I’m lonely, He sends company
When I feel I can’t go on, He gives me a boost of energy
When I’m not feeling well, He miraculously heals me
When unexpected bills come, from nowhere comes money
When bad memories come to my mind
My brain over powers them with thoughts of the good times
For now and ever, thank You Lord for Your tender mercies
Thanks for giving special attention to me.

Just Smile

They’re coming this way
To them I don’t know what to say
They act like they don’t care I even exist
As they never acknowledged my presence
So, should I just look away as they pass?
Pretending to be distracted?
This way I won’t have to make eye contact
But pretending is going to be so rude
They’ll clearly see I’m not busy
So, in just a few seconds before they arrive
I turned my head towards them and just smiled

And lo and behold they smiled warmly back
And nodded their head as to say hello
That one smile broke the ice
I was going to be rude, but decided to be nice
I learned even when you have nothing to say
Just smile
