Monday's Prayer

Prayer for Monday

Dear Jesus:
I am so scared about the results. I keep thinking what things might be like if this isn’t cancer. I really hope that it isn’t and whatever it is can be treated. But if it is your will for this to be cancer help us to face it and learn from you. Give us strength tomorrow. Help Marilyn in the test. Help her to be still and calm. Take her fears away and help her to give them to you. Let me feel your presence tomorrow. Please take my sore throat away. Help me sleep tonight. Give me peace.
Amen

******************* A POEM OF TRIBUTE ***************** (by Marilyn's sister-in-law, Shirley Eppy)

HEAVEN

Heaven was her chosen ‘home’ She’s already there today!
Jesus is the only One who’ll be the “Sunny Ray”
No need for any Christmas lights or solar panels there
For Jesus is the source of Light, the Son of God, so fair!

I’m so looking forward to a walk on Heaven’s street
The one that’s paved with purest gold, I’ll touch with my bare feet!
I’ve never walked on gold before, not many have, have you?
Will it be soft or slippery or glistening with dew?

That beautiful Holy city, like jasper, crystal clear will shine
No church or temple with stained glass has ever looked so fine
Each of it’s gates is one great pearl, so perfect, imagine that?
Our finite minds can hardly grasp these wonderful, marvelous facts!

The foundation of the city is of jewels we’ve never seen
Jasper, emerald, sapphire and amethyst with sheen
The myriad of colors will be dazzling and bright
As we bend our knees and worship Christ, the Son of God, our light

In Heaven there will be no tears, no crying and no pain
Our hearts forever riveted on Christ who is our gain!
He gave His life that we might live enfolded in His love
With angels singing, “He is Lord”, in Heav’n, our home above!

Even if we cannot sing, our voices then we’ll blend
With hosts of folks from all the world, our songs will have no end
Worthy is the Lamb of God, will be our endless theme,
Exalt His name and hold Him high, He’s our eternal dream!

Imagine living every day, with Jesus by our side!
To walk and talk with our great King, who gave his life and died,
To ask Him all about the things we couldn’t understand
We’ll see our lives through His tender eyes, and share in what He’s planned.

Well Heaven’s getting closer to us with each passing day
And Marilyn, I know, looked for the day Jesus Christ would say,
“Your mansion is ready and waiting, Welcome Home my beloved one,”
Your pain and pills and sleepless nights, those are finally done!

Yes Heaven is a place of JOY, a place of LOVE and PEACE
There’ll be no starving, crippled children on Heaven’s golden streets
No army tanks, no snipers, no hate, no evil of any kind
Our brothers and sisters from war torn lands, in Heaven at last, will find…

PEACE and LOVE and JOY to the full, beholding Jesus’ face!
The lame will jump for joy down the street, the blind on Jesus will gaze!
No threat of cancer or diabetes or heart attacks up there!
No colds or fatigue or even headaches, in Heaven there are no cares!

The Great Physician is Marilyn’s King, she’ll worship at His feet
With no aches or pains or work schedules, each day with joy she’ll greet
The Son of God, who has prepared her mansion with great love
She’ll sing and dance and clap to Him, her God in Heaven above

Her food will be from the tree of Life, such fruits she’s never had
She’ll savor the sweetness and juicy treats, but this diet is no fad
God created all those wondrous tastes, no allergies, cholesterol, or fats,
No bloating, no nausea, no cravings there, hunger’s a thing of the past

Zion, the Heavenly, Holy city, is waiting for each of us
From death to life is the quickest mode, no long trip by bus
How to get there is plainly written in Scripture, holy and true
Be ready and active when Jesus calls, he’ll be there to carry us through.

How do you get to Heaven so fair? We all want to go, don’t we?
Well the Bible says, there’s only One way, and that’s thru Jesus, you see,
He was the only perfect One, our debt of sin he paid,
He came to earth as a tiny babe and in a manger was laid

But He was God and He grew to be the Savior of the world
Though men of old, mocked and jeered and stones at him were hurled,
He died up on the cross one day, because He loved us so
Someone had to pay sin’s price, so we to Heaven could go

If you accept this gift so free, you’ll have eternal life
That means you’ll go to Heaven some day, where there is no strife
Won’t you tell Jesus you believe He is God’s only Son?
Let Him forgive your sins today and make Him number one!

So don’t be late, make your heart right – today open the gate
Life without Jesus is not worthwhile; please… don’t believe in fate
It’s only Christ’s death on the cross for us that allows us freedom from sin
Heaven’s the reward Marilyn lived for and death couldn’t keep her from HIM!
