Al love that Lasts

A love that last is never jealous
A love that last is always trusting
A love that lasts is not hurtful
A love that lasts is always forgiving
A love that last does not keep track of failures
A love that lasts encourages when you are down

O there may be times when you disagree
But a love that lasts does not keep score
When one is down love picks them up
And has your back when it is needed.

A love that lasts is not mean
A love that last is understanding
A love that lasts is not a chore
A love that lasts is a comfortable and warm

O there may be times when you disagree
But a love that lasts will not keep score
When one is down love picks them up
And has your back when needed

One day long ago

One day long ago a child was born.
One day long ago a gift was given.
One day long ago the world was forever changed.
One day long ago the star shined in the sky.
One day long ago the angels sang of the birth.
One day long ago the shepherds came to see the babe.
One day long ago three kings came to praise the KING.
One day long ago a savior was born.

Some thirty years later this new born king
would die on a cross to give us hope.
The hope that He would forever live
and three days later He proved He was God.
He rose from the grave and would always be
The King of Kings and Prince of peace.

it all started one day long a go when a child was born.

As I look around me I see you everywhere
You are in the sun shining in the sky
You are in the gentle breeze that blows through the trees
You are in the flowers blooming so pretty in spring.

As I look around me I see you everywhere
You are in the birds singing their morning song
You are in the bees busily busing around doing their work
You are in the squirrels rushing around to prepare
you are in the lizard sitting on my porch railing

As I look around I see you everywhere
Some days I can you everywhere I go
The bright blue skies
the puffy white clouds
The trees swaying in their praise to you
other times I can only see me
O how I pray to see you here and there
to look upon you and the price you paid for me
to look at you and see the beauty you placed all around me

Dear Lord I wish to praise you everyday
and thank you for all your blessings on me
so when I look around I see you everywhere

Friendship is a gift from God. He knew no man was an island.
So he set the example for us he picked 12.
Of the 12 he had a couple close friends.
That is why i believe friendship is a gift He has given us.
I cherish the people in my life.
I have Friends I have had since birth.
Friends from my childhood.
Friends from high school.
Friends I have for a few years.
All of which I cherish and thank God for.
Friends. Thank you God for knowing us and
knowing we would need good relationships to get us through

Ethan's Story

Ethan loves adventure, mystery and he loves to pretend. His favorite buddy is his dog Max. One Sunday afternoon Ethan and Max went into the back yard and the adventure began. He and Max were in a huge forest, they had been called by Forest ranger to help find the missing dog Ruby. She went out the day before and no one had been able to find her. The Forest rangers called Ethan and Max when someone was lost and hard to find. Ethan and Max walked into the forest and started to make their way through the brush. Ethan heard a noise and looked to his left. Max started to bark. All the sudden a big rattle snake sat up and wanted to bite them but Ethan was quick with his knife and cut the snakes head off. "Don't worry Max," he said "that nasty snake won' hurt us," and the continued through the forest to look for Ruby. Max and Ethan soon came to a creek. it looked pretty deep in the middle so Ethan knew they could not just walk across. Max wanted to jump in and swim but Ethan stopped him. he looked around and found a big log across the creek so he and Max walked across the log to the other side. It was just then that Max stopped and turned his head as if he was hearing something. Ethan heard the sound too. It sounded like a dog crying. "We are on our way Ruby," Ethan said. Max started to run and Ethan was right behind him. Soon they came to a big hole the dog crying got louder. Ethan looked in the hole and saw Ruby. She was laying in the bottom of the whole. It looked like she hurt her leg. Ethan pulled the radio from his belt and called for help. Soon all the rescue workers came to help. The rescue workers got Ruby out of the hole. The doctor fixed Ruby's leg and Ethan and Max took Ruby back to her boy, Remy. Remy was so excited to see Ruby he jumped up and down and clapped his hands. "Thank you Rescue Ranger Ethan," Remy said. "Just doing our job," Ethan said. just then Ethan's radio went off orange kitty stuck in a tree. "Have to go another animal needs our help." and Ethan and Max went off to their next adventure.

Have you seen a rainbow in the sky after a storm
Have you seen the leaves on fall day
