A Mother's Day Poem
To Mom who resides in heaven divine
I'm waiting patiently for that moment in time-
Hugs and kisses, smiles and tears;
the touch I remember year after year.
I wait for a mother's love; that only you can give.
Until that day I visit your grave,
tend to the flowers and call out your name.
I pray and listen and remember..
My daughter beside me, the blue sky above,
reminds me of the expanse of God's true love
I go there not to grieve for those days are past,
instead I find peace and joy; my spirit rejoices-
for I know you are in the arms of your Savior ,
eagerly awaiting too-
That day in time only God knows for sure.
The day revealed, when the Savior calls-
The day all heaven and earth rejoice.
Then in a moment's time you will see,
your greatest work on earth come home.
The day we see God's greatest work on earth come home-
Your family, your loved ones, the children of God.
I'm waiting patiently for that moment in time-
Hugs and kisses, smiles and tears;
the touch I remember year after year.
I wait for a mother's love; that only you can give.
Until that day I visit your grave,
tend to the flowers and call out your name.
I pray and listen and remember..
My daughter beside me, the blue sky above,
reminds me of the expanse of God's true love
I go there not to grieve for those days are past,
instead I find peace and joy; my spirit rejoices-
for I know you are in the arms of your Savior ,
eagerly awaiting too-
That day in time only God knows for sure.
The day revealed, when the Savior calls-
The day all heaven and earth rejoice.
Then in a moment's time you will see,
your greatest work on earth come home.
The day we see God's greatest work on earth come home-
Your family, your loved ones, the children of God.

What Are You Looking For?
Jesus the Bread of Life/ John 6
25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” 26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
30 So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[c]”
32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.
37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.
39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
