Valentine's Day

Valentines Day by Tedi Wixom TUES Feb, 14, 2012

I get excited about Valentine’s Day

The time of love and hearts;

I think of the people I cherish in life --

The ones who don’t need Cupid’s darts.

I appreciate my neighbors next door

And the ones who lives three houses down;

Also, the ones who live across the street

They are the closest of friends in town.

I love my children and my husband

And I love my grandchildren too.

I’m grateful for the nurture from Jesus

And for the blessings from him that accrue.

Everything to Me

Jesus is Everything to Me by Tedi Tuttle Wixom January 16, 2012

Jesus the Christ came as a baby in a manger

Roamed on earth as a wondering stranger.

The Bridegroom, my brother, the Bread of Life

The one who came to calm hate the strife.

Prince of Peace, Savior, and King

With his life, hope he doth bring.

Champion of children, the Holy one,

My guardian, example, God’s blessed Son.

Brother, Father, builder, and friend

Creator of Earth and worlds without end.

President, High Priest, neighbor, teacher

To the world simply a crazy upstart preacher.

Prophet, Maker, Mighty One, the Word

Timekeeper, gatekeeper, and humble shepherd.

Law Maker, Peace Maker, the Law, and the Light

Law Giver, Prayer giver, granting the blind sight.

Provider of sustenance, maintenance, architect.

Faithful, a doer, Satan’s plan he wrecked.

Healer, carpenter, builder, creator

Chief among the 12 Tribes and Mediator.

God of Israel and Savior of the World,

Fighter of Freedom with truth’s standard unfurled.

Sinless, ageless, and truth defender;

Angel and Saint, a great blessing sender.

Under appreciated while he lived on Earth

By his resurrection he gave mankind rebirth.

Let us praise his holy name every day

And serve only Him for he is the Way.

My Home

My Home by Tedi Wixom TUES January 17, 2012

I came from a home on high

To my Earth home below for instruction

With parents who could nourish me

And Satan who sought my destruction.

For on Earth I had a mission to perform

But Lucifer thought it a conspiracy

For me to love God and tell others of His plan.

For he relished disorder, chaos, and piracy.

I have a comfy home on Earth;

Some days the jaws of hell stand wide.

For wicked and adulterous mankind here

Take no thought of where in heaven they’ll reside.

When I leave this mortal clay on Earth

And stand immortal by a heavenly greeter.

I know all worldly oaths and curses I’ve endured

Will only make paradise ten times sweeter!

Let Earth Receive Her King

Let Earth Receive Her King by Tedi Wixom Jan. 13, 2012

The framers of the Constitution stand by

     Watchmen of America, their hands tied.

I wonder what they’d think today

     Of the words in their glory day thus penned.

Would they shake their heads in shame

     To witness their works torn asunder?

I pray a blessing on this planet

     In preparation for the reign of Christ

Dear Father swallow up all earthly curses.

     Send us faith in God, with hope in Christ,

And charity toward all men herein;

     May these attributes increase every day.

May a ripple of love emerge like an earthquake

     Rise and reverberate throughout this orb;

May this surge of hope and light go forth

     Through length and breadth of this entire Earth

And like a giant shockwave resonate

     ‘Til it reaches everyone in every clime!

Dear Father aid in healing our humble hearts;

     Break those with flint-like hearts and necks of steel

Replace them with forgiving souls who care;

     Gentle humanity ‘til ev’ry knee bend

And every tongue confess the truth they know

     Let the people of this Earth embrace their King!
