Silly little poem

I wrote this when it was decided that it was my turn to introduce myself to the church chior. It's just a funny little something.....enjoy!!

Here's a little rhyme
that's all about me.
I'm a stay at home mom
to my son who is three.
I can handle a rifle,
though no one would guess.
I need to do laundry.
My house is a mess.
My husband's a good man.
He enjoys hunting doe.
How he puts up with me
I'll never know.
Wait, the phone's ringing.
Hello, mom, is that you?
Hold on just one second,
"Son, don't throw that shoe!"
Let's see where was I?
Oh yes, now I know.
I like singing and writing
and planting flowers to grow.
My life is quite simple,
uneventful and plain.
Except for the time
I lost my ring down the drain.
My goal is to be a good mother and wife.
With the Lord Jesus Christ
as the center of life.
He's why I'm happy.
His love makes me sing.
If you'd like this joy
just remember one thing.
Salvation is free.
Our sins Christ will bear.
Eternal glory with God.
I can't wait! See you there!

Scarred for Life

By: Erin L. Dodson

The dimmed lights and smell of peppermint oil eased my tension as the masseuse rubbed my back. Soft background music began to lull me to sleep.

"How'd you get that scar?" Her voice startled me.

"I had heart surgery when I was an infant."

"Oh, is everything okay now?"

"Yes," I confirmed, "I'm fine. No more heart trouble." My scars are just a part of who I am, I thought as I allowed myself to slip back into my semi-conscious state.

After my massage I left the spa feeling refreshed yet unsettled. I never really think about my scar, but today I couldn't get if off my mind. "Every scar has a purpose." Those words washed over my spirit like a gentle wave. I was reminded of the scars of Jesus and the story they tell.

Christ's scars serve a purpose far greater than mine. 1 Peter 2:24 says, "By His wounds you have been healed." (NIV) The redemption of the world is visible when you see His hands and feet. On the day I'm called home I'll leave my scar behind and Christ's scars will become mine. Jesus is scarred for you and for me, for life.
