Mary

In the still of the night,

In a humble room

An angel appeared to a virgin.

A virgin with purity above all others,

Listened to that Holy messenger,

And wondered at His Greeting.

She would conceive and bear the Son of God.

She a young and humble woman,

Espoused to a simple Carpenter.

She would raise this child,

The Son of the living God,

In the world of men.

She would hold Him in her arms

And rock Him to sleep at night.

She would pray for Him daily.

She would watch Him grow to be a man,

Knowing she would have to let Him go,

To do his Father’s will.

She would weep at the foot of His cross,

And feel the pain that only a mother could feel,

As she watched Him die so that all would live.

And yet with simple faith, She said,

“Behold the handmaiden of the Lord;

be it unto me according to thy word.”

Eternal Sisterhood

In royal courts above

Before the world began,

We walked and talked together,

Of God’s eternal plan.

We were loved by Heavenly parents,

And taught of things to come.

Our knowledge was perfect,

As we chose to leave our heavenly home.

Our time to take our turn on earth,

Was sometimes separated by generations.

But our time here was not an accident,

But rather by a divine plan.

We were sisters there with memories eternal and

We are sisters here, no matter what our age,

And we shall be sisters in the life to come,

Joining earth’s memories with celestial knowledge.

What a glorious and wondrous blessing,

To know that Sisterhood is Eternal.

Touched by Love

A prayer was offered,

From a silent aching heart;

Please, Dear Father send this day,

A message of Thy Endless Love.

Another prayer was offered,

From a kind and searching heart;

Please Dear Father send me this day,

To someone who needs Thy care.

The latter prayer was answered,

With a soft and tender voice,

Feed My sheep, dear daughter,

There is someone who needs My Love.

The former prayer was answered as,

A knock came upon the door,

Out stretched arms and smiling faces,

Embraced a Daughter of God.

Because hearts were in tune

And the Spirit was heeded

Three special sisters

Were touched by love.

Whispers of Eternity

If you could see through the eyes of this little one,

You would see beyond the veil.

As this infant grasps your heart strings,

You will feel the power of Celestial Love.

Choose carefully the path you travel,

For these little feet will follow where you lead.

Listen carefully, to these gentle infant sounds and

You will hear the whispers of Eternity.
