As Christmas falls near, With the stars shining bright A young soldier keeps walking... First left, then right. � He's serving his country With a heart full of pride On foreign land he's fighting And this Christmas he'll reside. � In good times and bad He'll always stand tall He shows his best And gives it his all. � Like so many others �He's there for a cause, And as a true soldier, Never will he pause. � He's tried and true And tempered like steel Born of American spirit; Born with American will. � Without his sacrifice �The cause would be lost But the soldier carries onward �No matter the cost. � So I'll look to him with honor �And thankful with prayers. For the freedom I have �Is because this soldier cares. � Though it's now Christmas And he's not here with me His safe return I pray for To the Land of the Free. � "Author" Ruth Ann Mahaffey � Posted with permission of the author �

Grant me strength, Dear Lord, I pray.Control my life, don't let me stray. When I feel angered, help me see, That I can place my trust in Thee. � When I feel I'm sinking low, Hold me, Lord, don't let go. Don't let Satan have his way, For I know he'd lead me astray. � Make me strong when I feel weak, Let my ears listen when You speak. Let not my faith diminish in Thee, But save my soul and set me free. � Forgive me when I start to doubt What faith and trust are all about. Hold me Lord, in the darkest night, Take away my fear and fright. � May Your voice be one, I always hear, Saying to me, "I'm always near". "I'll walk with you and guide you well, But you My child, must not rebel". � Lord, I love you, forgive my fears, Please dry my eyes from all these tears. May I always place my trust in You, Remembering, Lord, You've always been true. ~Author~ Ruth Ann Mahaffey �Copyright 2002 � � � Used with permission from the author. �

A Mothers Prayer
Lord help me remember when I feel it's a chore
The time will come when I'll hold her no more
Asleep on my chest, the blanket refused
The crib, the pacifier, gone unused
For infants grow up and leave us behind
With only memories left to remind us
Of midnight walking and pre-dawn rocking
Of soft, helpless babies unable to sleep
So, Lord make me patient and keep me awake
As I cradle this baby, and don't let me take
For granted the moments I spend in the night
With this baby - Your gift
My joy - My delight.
