Happy Mother's Day
by Yvette Wilburn
There are times when I look up…
And I’m caught being human.
I can’t promise…
that I won’t be human again.
I always longed for a beautiful
mother/daughter relationship.
God blessed me with you.
I am interested in knowing…
what makes you tick.
I love to see your eyes light up
when you’re in the zone.
I believe in you.
But some people never believe
that they’re strong enough,
good, smart, or pretty enough.
Then God places…
Someone dear that we can trust
in our empty lives
to believe for us until we do.
You’re that person for me.
I’d like to think...
I’m that one for you too.
If you would just place these words
In your loving tender heart…
My Mother’s Day will be complete with
love.

A Rose For Mother
by Yvette Wilburn
When I behold a rose
and caress its petals
I think of the many facets of you…
You’re soft but resilient.
Its pungent fragrance,
permeates like your love
since the beginning of my time.
When I gently cup the bud in my hand,
I think of your soft heart
that is filled with God’s love.
The radiance of the bloom reminds me
of your smile so full for the
whole world to see.
The thorns may be prickly to the touch
but needed for protection.
For you had to be tough.
Though your petals have now fallen away,
And your scent has grown dim,
I know through Jesus Christ
I’ll see you again.
Until that time, whenever I see a rose,
I’ll thank God for the bouquet
He has given me through you.

The Blood of Jesus
by Yvette Wilburn
Do you think Jesus deserved to die like a
common crook?
Do you think He winced with every lash
He took?
Could you have witnessed it, or would you
have dared to look?
Did you know that He was beaten,
And not an ounce of mercy to Him was
given?
On the cross He called out to
His Father seated up in heaven.
Oh, His body was torn with lacerations
He was one big bloody sore,
But the savages weren’t satisfied
with a few drops of His BLOOD
And they angrily wanted more!
But He loves us, teaches us , heals us,
and shares wisdom beyond our beliefs,
Yet, they condemned and crucified
Him
and returned His goodness with grief.
Then, as if that was not enough,
they made Him carry His own cross,
He trudged weak, weary, and beaten,
up that hill to pay a mighty cost.
What did you imagine when you
thought about Jesus hanging on the cross?
How did you think He shed HIS BLOOD
That the bible declares He lost?
Did you think about the nails, or conclude
that they had to attach Him some way?
Did He utter the dying words
that you thought He would say?
He endured all the punishments for
not one evil deed or single crime,
Yet, He defied death until His appointed
time.
Then after all was said and done
He hung His bleeding head and died,
To ensure that this was indeed the case
they cruelly pierced Him in His side.
Out gushed HIS BLOOD and living water too,
This is THE BLOOD that was shed for me and
you.
Were you surprised when Jesus prayed
For the pardon of His killers sins?
Were you relieved when
Our Father took Jesus in?
Jesus knew in the beginning
how it would all end,
He knew who would betray Him
and deny Him as a friend.
He knew that He would die
For the undeserving world’s sins
He knew that He would rise again!
Yes, He knew that on the designated day
three,
THE BLOOD He shed on Calvary
Would surely set us free.
So that’s why THE BLOOD is so precious
And we the redeemed of the Lord
must stand tall.
and boldly tell this world never
minimize the price Jesus paid for all.
Jesus’ BLOOD covers us with
Awesome cleansing power.
THE BLOOD heals and
Delivers us by the hour.
But now in Christ Jesus we can lose our
fear
because by THE BLOOD of Christ
we who once were far off
have lovingly been brought near.
