HOLIDAY BELLS
I believe in the magical wishes of possibilities.
Granted through the power of these three things.
Faith, Hope, and Charity.
Three wishing bells I seek.
Hang them up High, Hang them down low,
Hang them around the mistletoe.
As the brisk winds whisk and spin,
the magical bells begin to sing
as if in sync with what my heart thinks.
At the stroke of midnight, joyful noise will spread
the air around the globe everywhere.
As the countdown of one year passed into the
future of a brand New Year.
You will hear the humbling sound of well wishes,
laughter and happy tears, as we vow before God
to make this year a better year.
Wishing you a Happy New Year!!

It’s All About The Feast
Happy Thanksgiving
Look here y'all, we are about to eat, fixing to choke down on this Turkey Day feast.
Now, don’t go getting me all wrong I'm as grateful as I can be.
Let's keep it on the real real, Turkey Day won’t be the same without that meat.
Y'all know it's true, you agree, 'cause some of y'all won't show til it's time to eat.
Go ahead and laugh, it's ok. I’m just keeping it real on this Turkey Day.
So, as I break down this meal plan, don’t hesitate to jump in and lend a hand.
Cause we got turkeys to stuff, hams to glaze, specialty pies, and cakes to bake.
We want all cooks and non-cooks we don't disgraced, not on Turkey Day.
So, don’t be ashamed, drop in with your li'l store-bought sweets.
It’s a family affair and a Turkey Day Feast.
Oh, I’m not done just yet, I haven’t even gotten to the best.
Did you think I'd forget to mention our mouthwatering side dishes?
A flavor reminiscent of grandma's warm hugs and pride kisses.
My Sister J makes Mac and Cheese that makes your mama wanta scream.
Collard greens, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, and yams.
Honey, it is time to indulge and forget counting calories and fat grams.
So, please pass the giblet gravy, bread, and butter!
Cause Sister D’s cornbread dressing I'ma bout to smother.
You'll need cranberry and hot sauce for that little extra zing.
Yall! For real, I'ma bout to kick it up a notch and do the darn thing.
You know, I gotta have a li'l some, some to quench my thirst.
To wash it all down after stuffing myself.
Mama's rainbow sherbet punch don't come in no bottle.
You gotta use a dipping spoon to get to the fruit at the bottom.
Just a lil warning!
Excessive consumption of Mama's secret mix may cause a wobble.
Happy Turkey Day! Yall! Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!

Salute To Bravery
On this Veterans Day,
let's take a moment to honor those
who have served our great nation.
A simple hello and thank you for your service
is a great way to express your appreciation.
The American flag, with its proud stature
and powerful colors of red, white, and blue,
will line the streets in a grand display
as a show of integrity and honor shines through.
The stars and stripes on her uniform will flutter
and sing in unison with the gentle wind
emanating the courageous and proud spirit
of our military women and men.
Today we sing your praises as brave countrymen.
If you listen closely, you can hear the soldiers of harmony
joining in, their silent voices ascending from beneath
the perfectly aligned rows of fallen heroes.
To our veterans of all eras, we thank you for your service,
whether you served on the ground, in the sky,
or in the ocean seas.
We honor your bravery and salute your commitment
to keep "America the Great" free.
Happy Veterans Day!

SPECIAL DAY TODAY
Today is a very special day.
Listen with your inner ears to hear what it has to say.
If you awake today with your mental state in place,
give God the glory and praise.
If your reasoning is clear today,
then have no fear and know that God’s presence is still here.
If you can open your eyes with unblurred vision, then lift your
eyes toward heaven and thank God you do not need an optician.
If you wake up with a sense of smell,
take in the sweet aroma of God's essence.
If you can speak, even though you may not have much to say,
sing aloud God’s praises anyway.
If you were blessed with the gift of taste today,
indulge freely from God's plate.
Relish in the nourishing fruits of his spirit.
Don't hesitate to take some home with you.
Savor the flavor of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
If the rhythm of your heart beats free,
expressing love should come naturally.
If your arms and hands are physically capable,
show your love by giving a hug.
If you can bend your knees, with gladness, bow down,
and worship our Lord and King.
If you are only able to stand,
show an act of praise with your free hands.
If you can walk by the movement of your feet,
why not walk out this day in kindness and peace?
Poem By: Qbenja
Put your thoughts, hopes, and dreams in a bottle, send them off to heaven, and see what follows. QB
Did You?
Did you not know that it is the power of God that leads our way
despite the circumstances and trials we face?
Like so…...
Did you take a moment to welcome God's presence today?
Did you offer Him praise for the dawning of a new day,
or did you hurry, in a rush, to go about your merry way?
Did you express your gratitude for the sun's radiant beams
or for the cool breeze that merges with the air you freely breathe?
Did you pause long enough to perceive the quiet calling of your name?
Did you thank Him for removing the sorrows that may have caused you pain?
Did you acknowledge Him for the protective barrier around you,
a formidable wall that your foes cannot break through?
Did you remember to count your blessings along the way?
Did you even bother to ask, "Lord, what's your will that I may fulfill?"
Did you?
Did you express your gratitude to Him today?
Did you glorify His holy name?
If not, please take this moment now to offer Him your sincere praise.
