The Christian Alphabet Poem

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of 'Camp Complaining'
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone (or prayer can do alone)
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To 'thank' is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
eXalting God most high
Yes, there will be good times
and yes some will be bad, but . . .
Zzzz peacefully at night . . .
you're in the care of God!

alternate ending:
Zion waits in glory . . .
where none are ever sad!

The rain began to fall.

To let the shepherds know.

He talked to all the wise men
When only twelve years old.

Her cousin obeyed.

For life, to the Lord.

Crying for water,
One hot summer day.

Scattered flowers in the way.

For the crumbs that fell
While the rich man ate.

A Child's ABC Prayer

(© 2002 Lisa Summerour)

All little children should
Brush their teeth, and
Clean behind their ears.

Do their homework
Every day and be
Faithful with their chores.

Generosity is rewarded--
How nice to give rather than receive
In time good things return to you--
Just try it and you will see.

Kind deeds don't go unnoticed, so
Lend a helping hand.
May you spread your smile
Near and far--show joy to all the land.

Open your heart up 'Oh, so wide!'
Pouring out love each day.
Quite surely you will feel love too, when it
Returns to head your way.

Some days there will be sunshine,
Thunder and lightning will happen too. But,
Underneath God's great umbrella a
Victory waits for you.

We are all His little children, made
eXactly as we should be
You have all you need to
Zoom along--and be the best you can be!
