Let Not My Branch Lay Barren Lord - Corrected

Autumn Poem Poster

Let Not My Branch Lay Barren Lord


Oh Lord, May I abide in you;
May my life bear lasting fruit.
Forgive my heart, let me not doubt;
I can do all things in you.

Like the joy of a summer morn;
A field filled with sweet new corn;
I know how joyful we will be.
If we will abide in thee.

There's faith that makes the weakest strong;
Like a mustard seed so small.
In Christ, we grow and learn and be;
While abiding constantly.

Let not my branch lay barren Lord;
Fill my baskets with  your peace;
Fill my barns with fruits of blessing;
Your righteousness may increase.

I pray my fields do not lay waste;
My hands not labor in vain.
Fill my arms with fruit from the fields;
Lest my tears fall like Autumn rains.

No greater love we've ever known;
Then the love you've gladly shown.
Like a vine filled with pleasant  blooms;
Show me how to love like you.

(Song)


No greater love, no greater love, than we have ever known.
No greater love than the love you've gladly shown.
Like a vine filled with fruits of your Spirit;
Show me how to love you, Lord,
Show me how to love like you.

Chorus:



 1Corinthians 15:58 
 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

What A Beautiful Musical Fall - Poem

What A Beautiful Musical Fall

The Autumn months bring pleasure and smiles;
As we remember, how God has blessed.
Both now and throughout our years gone by;
The wonderful things that we love best.

Baskets of apples, of wheat and the crops;
The apple cider that warms our chills.
All of the squirrels collecting for winter;
And the hayride through the pumpkin field .

With colorful leaves in colorful trees;
We thank-God, Give thanks for it all;
For the harvest, for the blessings so loved;
What a beautiful, musical fall.

Then coming down, like an orchestra sound;
The wind and the leaves dance together.
And the smell of baked bread catches our nose;
The fall has such comforting weather.

The pleasantry's of Autumn seem endless;
The corn stalks standing tall in a row.
All the different pumpkins and  gourds;
And the bright mums the harvesters grow.

Then comes a crisp day in the Autumn months
We gather together as night falls.
And sing songs around the bonfire;
What a beautiful, musical fall.

With family and friends who love and bless;
With laughter and life's sweet enjoyment,
Just to be around them brings our lives joy;
Feelings, better than any present.

We will enter His gates with thanksgiving praise;
We will sing of His glory and  his grace.
We will remember the goodness of God;
And rejoice in His glorious ways.

A friend plays his guitar and says "sing along";
We sing along while the crickets call;
With the many sounds of Autumn's night;
What a beautiful, musical fall.

Psalms 100:4
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, 
and into his courts with praise: be 
thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Good Mornin'






Good Mornin'

Good mornin ' Jesus:
Bright morning star.
I want to praise you ;
For all that you are.

Good mornin' sunshine:
Good mornin' daybreak.
Oh praise God for you.
As morning awakes.

Good mornin' blue skies;
And clouds of surprise.
I praise God for you
Each shape and each size.

Good mornin'  tall trees;
Dressed in autumn leaves.
I thank God for all;
The colors I see.

Good mornin'  new day;
Arising from sleep.
Thank-you dear God;
For morning so sweet.

Returning To Our First Love - Jude 1:21, Thessalonians 3:3


Returning To Our First Love

I was walking in the park and I was thinking about my heart garden.  This past  year I've had to struggle with a decision that I made last year.  I planted some double purple  bell flowers in my garden knowing very well that they tend to take over.  They are very beautiful and go so well with my firework primrose.
They are just such trouble makers though, I've had to work continuously trying to keep them under control.  They just keep coming back no matter how hard I work.  I still love them, I just don't want them getting into everything.   They tend to kill the other plants around them because their roots take over.
I had to partially dig up my garden and plant new seed.  My garden started blooming with tall orange Cosmos flowers.  They look very nice especially because they are still blooming and they go well with the pumpkins and mums set out for the fall season.

Sometimes in life we allow things into our hearts that we shouldn't let in.  Bitterness, discontentment, or perhaps loving something more than we love God.  The longer we leave it there, the more the roots take over.  This is why we need to keep ourselves aware of what is growing in our hearts, or life or family, or government, because all these areas of life can be overtaken by a silent enemy and the enemy can seem very harmless and beautiful.  If left alone to grow it will restrict any other growth.  Just as I had to start again in the part of my heart garden that was taken over.  Sometimes we have to start digging up the problem, in order to replant in the damaged areas.  This takes putting God first again, returning to our first love.  Some things died in my heart garden, but with love and care my heart garden is blooming again.

My heart garden is going to need regular maintenance because the struggle will always be there.  There will always be something trying to take over.  Our lives and hearts need the same care and God gives us the instructions for all our maintenance needs in The Word Of God.  

Jude 1:21
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

 Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

Summer Soon Ends

Summer Soon Ends

By Susan Y Nikitenko
September 2009

Summer is beautiful, arrayed with the Black Eyed Susan,
shimmering, with seas of daisy fields.
It swarms with bees, bugs and butterflies that dance, swirl and spin;
And the cherry trees bring forth their yield.

The delicious smells of picnic cookouts fill the noon day;
Family’s reunions meet in the park.
Wonderful sounds of laughter can be heard from all around;
And the chime of horseshoes until dark.

Playfully children catch the evening hour fireflies;
The crickets cry out with songs of cheer.
One can hear a guitar playing on a neighbor’s front porch;
And the frogs deep croaking by the pier.

Summer soon comes to an end and life starts to fade away ;
The seasons come and the seasons go.
We have health and vitality for only a season;
To work the plow, to water, to grow.

For the season will soon end, health will soon fall away;
Like the colorful leaves in the fall.
So work the ground, be busy planting seed while there is time.
And extend your hand with truth to all.

Live summer, giving your youth to the cause of Christ our King
Your best years spent, your best years given,
In serving , in loving, in worshiping, in honoring;
Because by grace you are forgiven.

Soon Our Jesus Will Appear



 Soon Our Jesus Will Appear


Autumn is a fanciful season;
The leaves a colorful glow.
The squirrels gather for winter;
Before the cold winter’s snow.

Pumpkins brighten grandmas front porch;
Scarecrows cheer each passerby.
Harvest cooking fills the autumn air;
Apple tarts and pumpkin pie.

The wooly bear forecasts the weather;
The flowers of summer fade.
Bringing forth life in a tiny seed;
A miracle that is heaven made.

Memories and laughter fill my heart;
When I think about it all.
The yearly hayride until dark;
And all the fun in the Fall.

I am reminded this time of year;
We must gather and prepare.
Because harvest time is ending soon;
Soon our Jesus will appear.

And though fall is beautifully designed;
And holds a place in my heart.
There’s nothing like my home awaiting;
Filled with God’s celestial art.

If we fill our lives with goodness;
And plant God’s seeds ‘long the way.
When the autumn of life has ended;
They will bloom a sweet bouquet.

The Fair


The Fair

a little humor

Gourds and pumpkins, apples too;
A fall  festivity.
Corn and stalks, hay bale blocks;
Displays of artistry.
All around are fairground sounds;
And everywhere you go.
There are people wandering;
Enjoying rides and shows.
Venders treats and meats galore;
 They're smells are in the air.
Not to mention cows and sheep;
You'll find the barnyard there.
Aunt Betty's blue ribbon pie;
It won again this year.
Children from the 4H group;
Are running here and there.
Pens and pencils, paper pads;
mints and fingernail files.
Commercial  booths,  handouts;
It seems they go for miles.
Gifts and gadgets are for sale;
But some things are for free.
Just  like the spinal screening;
That was offered to me.
Politicians shake your hand;
And give a pleasant grin.
Then you get a plastic bag;
To put your free stuff in.
High above the ground you see;
The giant ferris wheel .
And hear screaming from  the rides;
That give your heart a thrill.
Cotton candy is the best;
But I've had to say no.
Though I really love it;
I just don't need to grow.
When I was a little girl;
Around seven or so.
I was given a small book;
A yellow smile aglow.
Though it was a little thing;
A seed was planted here.
I remember to this day;
That someone really cared.
You get tired at the fair;
Exhausted from the fun.
But you have fond memories;
When all is said and done.

 Susan Y Nikitenko

(Song)


It's been a while since I've ridden any rides at the fair.  The majority of my time is giving out the gospel message along with my family. But one of these days I'll go just for the rides and the
car derby. 

There is so much I could say about the fair.  I can say, the most exciting thing about the fair is when I get to witness to others about Jesus.  When you see the light come on in their eyes.  When they understand for the first time how much Jesus really does love them.  That's the best time ever.  Because our hearts rejoice.
Question:


Someone told me the smile book  has been around for fifty years or so.  I just assumed they were right.  I know the smile was there when I was little.


Does anyone know for sure how long Amazing Grace Missions has been giving out those little books?

Autumn's Song Is The Harvest Song






Autumn's Song Is The Harvest Song


The garden leaves fall to the ground:
My face looks up while they fall down.
Without making one single sound;
Like flowers they lay all around.

Leaves whisking here and whipping there;
While Autumn winds sing Autumn's  song.
God's creatures they must sing along;
While they're gathering all day long.

The Summer  flowers are faded now;
The gardens need much love and care.
Winter knocks at the door of fall;
"Gather the Harvest!  Gather it All!"

Autumn's song is the harvest song;
Can you hear the warning winds?
Calling now for you to repent:
Before the Autumn season ends.

Jesus is coming to gather;
He calls to the wandering ones.
The winds of harvest are changing
The will of the Father be done.

O come reap the harvest of hope;
A bountiful harvest of love.
Jesus our Saviors is coming;
To take us to our home above.

"Gather the harvest Lord, gather it all;"
The trumpet of heaven leads this call.
The leaves are falling, heavens  calling;
"Gather the harvest , gather it all."

We've worked, we've sown and we've grown;
The garden is ready to glean.
And now winter cries out,  Prepare!
Jesus is very, very near.
Jesus is very, very near.
Winter cries out,  Prepare!

 I Thessalonians  4:17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.



 Matthew 24:36


But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.


 Mark 13:32

But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.







And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

New Addition







If Life Were A Pumpkin Patch

 If life were a pumpkin patch;
And fruit our good deeds.
I pray my fruit would shine forth;
God's love in every seed.

Love and grace, peace, endurance;
Let this fruit grow big and round:
So when you inspect my fruit;
Let God's  glory be what's found.

Temperance and self control;
Let this fruit grow big and strong.
I'll fertilize them with care;
Keep them from the blight of wrong.

God's  gentleness and kindness;
Let others see them in me;
So when my life is over;
My  fruit would sprout fourth seed.

In my pumpkin patch of life;
Let God's  goodness be a light.
Let my largest fruit be faith;
 With a heart that is upright .

 A meek and humble spirit;
Make this fruit bloom and grow.
So others all around me;
Won't see me,  but God's love know.

Lord as I pick my pumpkins;
From my patch with pumpkins filled.
Let your joy be present Lord:
As I see the fruit it yields.

When bringing in the Harvest;
I'll set my pumpkins here and there.
That they would be a blessing
To observers everywhere.

Beddow Farms

Just A Down Home Kind Of Place

This farm has been around for 45 years. 
 After 45 years Ralph Beddow and his family are still picking pumpkins.

Ralph Beddow said, "I'm proud of the fact that our prices are still some of the best around."

His two sons and daughter inlaws along with his eleven grandchildren,  help him and his wife gather the harvest of pumpkins. 

The Beddow family also grows and sells flowers starting in the Spring. 

Then again, they gather a harvest of Christmas trees.

Stop in and say hello to Ralph and buy some pumpkins.  I'm sure it will make his day.
