IS IT TOO LATE FOR CHANGE?

We wonder why our children have no respect, boundaries or moral code.
Or why so many people lack a conscious for wisdom that God bestowed.
Our leaders, congress and government officials are derelict in behavior.
We put faith in them or rely on our own understanding looking for a Savior.
We are amiss for not teaching our children the principles of integrity honor and truth.
We are guilty of greed, sexual perversion, and abortion instead of helping our youth.
Our two party systems are failing because everyone wants to tear each other apart.
Both democrats and republicans have worthwhile agendas so we need to take heart.
Arnold Schwarzenegger stated when he became governor it was no longer just Me but We.
Our officials need to hear the people and put party affiliations aside agreeing to disagree.
Staunch democrats and republicans are not open or willing to change their positions.
Even if they know their party is wrong they stand firm because of their ambitions.
Since government is fallible, so too, are the laws of the land.
Christians respect authority we acknowledge it and understand.
But if public officials go against God’s laws we cannot follow their way.
We do not judge our brother as Jesus sits on the throne and for them we pray.
Validation from God’s Word tells us that we are living in the Birth Pangs of Revelation.
The end of days is about a one-world government and the anti-christ’s organization.
Our God is the Alpha and Omega and He wants you to give Him your soul.
So it is never to late to change the hearts of men because God is in control.

Joshua 22:5
But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord charged you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Romans 13:1
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

John 14:15
If you love me keep my commandments.

Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

"BRYCE'S SONG (To My Grandchild)

I held your Mom
As I am holding you
A purer joy I never knew

My baby girl so sweet are you
Baby Bryce Oma loves you

I’ll be with you everyday
For your spirit I will pray

My baby girl so sweet are you
Baby Bryce Oma loves you

The Lord will bless you
This I Know
For He dearly loves you so

My baby girl so sweet are you
Baby Bryce Oma loves you

Joy and wisdom you shall reap
Health and wealth you will keep

My baby girl so sweet are you
Baby Bryce Oma loves you

WE THOUGHT WE UNDERSTOOD - By Estelle P.Shrum

We thought we understood the love
We hold for our mates.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our children.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our parents.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our grandchildren.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our friends.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our brethren
We thought we understood the love
We hold for our pets.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for nature.
We thought we understood the love
We hold for the Lord.
But when the Holy Spirit descends upon us
The love we hold is inexpressible.
When the Lord shines His light and covers
Us with His grace it’s incredible.
When the Father reaches down into our heart
And ignites a fire it’s indescribable.
When Jesus touches our soul and covers
Us with His love it is a miracle.
