DUE PRAISE

Four Generations:
Grand-daughter, daughter, me and my mother.
Let us praise our God above,
for He is God, God of Love.
Let us give the glory due His name,
yes, He is Worthy, worthy of our praise.
Let us speak of His holinesss
He is Holy so let us be the same;
"Be ye Holy as I am Holy,"
this is not an option, it's how we
win the game.
Do take time each day and
be sure to give Him praise;
It is due Him for the Life He gave...
He gave so we could live,
He gave so we could give;
praise brings His Presence
down to our earth.
Praise causes demons to be in a lurch -
to flee, to leave, a reminder of
Jesus's birth.
So, do give Him praise,
the praise He is due -
It makes Him happy and
it extremely blesses you!

Thank you to you out there who read my blogs and forward them to others. Your reading and responses serve as an encouragement. I'll be shooting them out all of 2009 as the Lord prompts me with a thought, a word, etc.
Trusting that Christmas was full of fun and love and the joy of the Lord! Though, some are reminded of the absence of a loved one at this time, some a very recent loss. Others have problems and issues that did not go away with Christmas day. And many of us are seeking to know God's direction as we quickly approach a new season in time/2009.
My suggestion is what I am focusing to do, and hopefully you, too, is to give God regular praise, to look for the good and be grateful regardless as to what a day brings. I encourage you and me to keep your perspective clear; to allow the vision of eternity present and future to lead your decisions, relationships, actions, and attitudes. Our job here on earth (for those of you who have received the free Christmas Gift of salvation) is to "represent" as slang goes. To represent our Lord being real in our humanity while living out our faith.
I wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR FULL OF (the recognition) GOD'S GRACE to you!
