December 2012...Friends

 
Dear friends,
 
Thank you for your presence,
In my life again this year.
Each of you have been a blessing,
And have given me good cheer.
 
God is gracious and faithful...
My friends, one and all,
Be thankful for His wisdom,
As on His name you daily call.
 
The world we know around us
May come crashing down,
But we can always trust in
He who wears The Crown.
 
We hold fast to God's promises
As we face the trials ahead,
Witnessing Bible prophesies,
We have nothing to dread.
 
We must remain pure in heart
And be examples of His love,
Telling others of His mercy
And saving grace from above.
 
Take on a sense of urgency
The Lord will come again.
Make sure you are ready,
Everlasting life to gain.
 
As friends we face the future
Upholding each other in prayer,
Creating our personal legacies
To our God who's always near.
 
Thank you for being my friends!

We mentioned your lovely blog in our post last night and some friends of ours stopped by and tried to leave a comment but couldn't. Even though they have a blogger blog, they were told they are Anonymous.

A suggestion: a much more reader friendly setting that also does not allow Anonymous is Registered Users Only (includes Open ID). We've used it for months and recommend it.
