God's best gift

"Make the price for the bride and the gift I am to bring as great as you like,
and I'll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the girl as my wife."
NIV Genesis 34:12

A weak and puny lad would strangely sing
Of God in heaven with priceless riches
He read of Solomon, an awesome king
Dreamed of wearing golden royal stitches.

Looked on ev'ry girl as a priceless pearl
No sweeter golden gift from God's heaven
He boldly spoke; was called a joke, with curl
With bles'sed dice always-rolling seven.

The boy grew up, a man, and went to war
He learned to dance and sing, romance and play
And ev'ry where he went God blessed his star
As He was led into a royal way.

And then one-day sore sickness came his way
The doctors said he would be dead, their claim
But he was healed in God's Majestic Say
And called by God to walk in Love's acclaim.

To tell the world in truthful poetry
That God is Truth and Love, and Love is free.

Reach out, receive Love; Love is God's best Gift.

(smiles) This is such a beautifully upbeat story, sweet friend, I believe as long as we always reach to Him for love and celebrate with song and spirit, we will all die happily and will live life to the fullest! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful, God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
