"The Glory Train"

Can you hear the whistle sound
For them souls heaven bound?
Climb onboard the glory ride
Set you're earthly bonds aside.

This old train will leave someday
Boarding Christians along the way.
Roaring down those one-way tracks,
Bound for heaven, it won't be back.

Get you're ticket while you can
If you want a ride to glory land.
We'll meet at the Lords station,
There's no time left for hesitation.

This long black train has no gears
It's full throttle ahead leaving here.
The archangel will be our engineer,
We'll depart amidst angel cheers.

The price of the ticket is paid for you,
Jesus died on the cross for sins you do.
Surrender to the Good Shepherd your all
Before you miss that last boarding call.

We'll glide on the ride to heavens shore
Where you will endure troubles no more.
So shed your shackles no need to pack,
Board that glory train with one-way tracks.

"The Best Prayer"



The best prayer I have heard in a long time!

Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.

Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together.

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity.

Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.
Amen

Have a Blessed Day

Dave and Barbara
