Piecing together
Some things of the past

Each puzzle a clue
Oh! What a big task

Going back over
Seeing what makes sense

We search for things in our lives. Through the years we tend to go back over what we searched. In doing family history research, this is a do.

There are some things that bring clues into the present time. There are things we can over look in the beginning years. It may not have make any sense than.

But as the search grows things can become clearer. The more the clues come the more things make some sense. The story unfolds as the puzzle is pieced together.

May we learn in the process of searching. May we go back over what we research. May there be clues that lead us to more clues. May God lead us to see more into our family history. Amen!

In our lives from seeds

For Time Has Come

There comes a time
When we must leave

To move beyond
From once we cleave

No longer need
To be apart

We must depart

Move on forward

Take in His rest

So look around, Let's see

Each sight worth wild seeing
A place where we can be

Turn Some Things Around

There are times in life
We need to step back

Look at where we're at
Where we need to slack

Do too much? too little?

Good, bad, the ugly
What's left to be done?

Turn some things around
Start with number one

For He Is The Life

Through the coarse of life
We have to adjust

We go through changes
Oh, yes we can fuss

We're not the captain
His boat we sail in

For He is the life
We sail on His wind

Many things goes on
We don't know about

We go through out life
Some times we can doubt

Those Issues In Life

Heard of another
Stumbling again

Brings question to mind
But think, we've all sin

Be quick not to judge

When things come our way

Those issues in life
As we walk each day
