A Rose Never to Wilt 

by Charlotte Morgan

Flowers are a gift of great color and smell 

I’ve arranged so many and I know them so well 

But there is one that is truly in bloom 

He is the brightest color in all of the room 

Thorns will prick and often break the skin 

Believing in Jesus the healing can begin 

They thrust for water and need sunlight to live 

Everlasting life is what he came here to give 

A rose is many colors and is given for many reasons 

It is a flower to be offered through all of the seasons 

Give to him all of your pain and guilt 

For he truly is a rose never to wilt.



My Wedding Day 
by Charlotte Morgan

As I dressed to meet my husband to be
I began to pray and got down on one knee
Dear Lord, I said as I wondered would I be a good wife
Help me to be loving to my husband all of my life

I fixed my hair and painted on my face
Time was ticking as I saw my dress of lace
My nails were done, but my finger bare
A ring of gold forever is what I would wear

The music sounded and my vial was set
I know God was there when our eyes finally met
I felt a feeling of peace and love
That only comes from our Lord up above

We said our vows and then sealed them with a kiss
Dating and being alone I knew I would not miss
As the ceremony ended and a tear rolled down my face
I knew that in life I had finally found my place.

For my husband whom I love very much



Time To Believe
by Charlotte Morgan

I have always believed that seeing is believing, but not now
I am different these days God's love has shown me how
I had lost my way in a world filled with pain
But I knew it was time to believe and now it's my greatest gain

They say if you can't touch it that it's not real
I trust my heart for it tells me how I feel
I now have faith and my problems no longer make me grieve
I have given God my soul it is finally time to believe

The art of love is simply trusting the King
With a tune in my heart his praises I softly sing
It is the weight of my sin he will gently relieve
I am now reborn because I took the time to believe.




Morning Mediation

Thank You for the dew upon the grass,
Thank You for the things that really last;
Such as many friendships of the past.
Thank You for the squirrel scampering up the tree.
Thank You, Father for sharing all this with me.
Thank You for the blue of the skies;
Thank You for the trusting love reflected
In children's eyes.
Thank You for the song of the mockingbird,
One of the most melodic sounds I have ever heard.
Thank You for the flowers and their colors so bright.
Thank You for this moment when things seem so right.
Father, I know feelings can in a moment flee,
But Father, I thank You for these moments when
I feel so close to Thee.

Today's Desire

Help me to help brighten someones' day
Help me to give encouragement along their way
Give me the words to say-
that Your love I may convey--
Life's not always easy
Sometimes there are storms; sometimes, it's just very breezy.
Help me to take time to care,
To reflect Your love and ease their despair.
Help me always to remember when--
I was the one who needed that special friend.
Brenda Reinert 


My Prayer

Forgive me for my selfish prayers
And for my needless cares.
Forgive me for getting so involved with me,
That my heart is not in tune with Thee.
Forgive me for my lost vision,
My lukewarmness and indecision.
Please help me, Father to be strong
And to be in Your will where I belong.
