(An infusion of heavenly sweetness)
In the cross holds a message, of salvation for eternity
In the cross is protection, from all your enemies
In the cross is mercy itself, lift it high each day
In the cross is forgiveness, as we ponder it and pray
In the cross is our hope, eternal life there is found
In the cross is suffering love, it leads us heaven bound
In the cross darkness vanishes hold the light in your hand
In the cross there is strength, to fight hatred in this land
In the cross is the proof, that God is truth and love
In the cross is a sign of redemption, a gift from up above
In the cross is a sign of great Joy, happiness and peace
In the cross is found a love that will never end or cease
In the cross is wisdom, courage and peace of mind
In the cross is virtue, to help you be patient and be kind
In the cross is perfection, in it the way is clearly seen
In the cross when troubled comes, on it we can lean
In the cross 2000 years ago Jesus died died for me and you
In the cross tells the stories of Christmas day and Easter too
In the cross holds histories story no one can deny it is true
Take up Thy cross and follow the way, love is calling you
“Yes” in the cross , the purpose of life and death unfolds
In the cross is the knowledge, that we are precious as gold
Look at the cross, may it reminder you, each and every day
Carry it, wear it, pick it up, it is the truth, life,and the way
By Rose Nadeau written on Dec.5, 2012. from the inspirational
writings Of the Imitation of Christ by Thomas á Kempis: Book 2, Chapter 12
Of the King's High Way of the Holy Cross
Take up therefore thy Cross and follow Jesus (Luke 14:27), and thou shalt go into life everlasting.

Why Oh Why do they not believe
in the king who rules heaven and earth.
Why are they running away from you Lord, why oh why do they run
You who rule heaven and earth you who are king, for everyone
Why do they choose to live in the dark, light to all you bring
Why do they not thank and praise you, why do their hearts not sing
Why Oh Why do they not believe in the king who rules heaven and earth
You Oh Lord are king of heaven and earth when will your children see
When will they realize they are nothing, nothing oh Lord with out thee
You are the only one who promises peace on earth and for all of eternity
You are the king who rules heaven and earth who died for us on Calvary
Why Oh Why do they not believe in the king who rules heaven and earth
Why Oh Lord, why will they not come, with open hearts to receive
Why do they not want a lasting joy, not an empty one, why don't they believe
Why do they keep running Oh Lord, they remain deaf, mute and blind
Why can't they see that you rule heaven and earth you so loving and kind
Why Oh Why do they not believe in the king who rules heaven and earth
Why are so many people turning away and not acknowledge you as their king
Why do they not love you as their King, who came to give them everything
Why can't their hearts be open to believe why can't their eyes truly see
Why do they keep running away and refuse the gifts you bring for eternity
Why Oh Why do they not believe in the king who rules heaven and earth
Why do they run away from the one who shed his blood and died for us all
Why do they turn a deaf ear , you come with peace hope and love in your call
Why can't they see the Bethlehem star that shines in this world so bright
Why Oh Lord You came only to save us, you brought your forgiveness and light
Why, Oh Why do they not believe, in the King who rules heaven and earth
By Rose Nadeau
I wrote this poem on the eve of Dec. 31st. 2012. I was feeling sad because of my own children and many others in this world who do not acknowledge Jesus who came to rule heaven and earth.
Learning to Love All Over Again
Did you feel like a failure , when it comes to being kind and loving others?
Do you feel like you have let God down, along with your sisters and brothers?
Do you want to give up? Do you feel it is impossible to love like God demands?
Are you disappointed, do you want to quiet, you feel you've done all you can?
Well that is OK it is normal to feel bad, when your love sounds like a noisy gong.
But do not give up learn to love all over again, admit when you've done wrong.
Confess to God your sinfulness and try all over again, again, again and again'
You will win the victory just start over and don't feel your attempt is all in vain.
Keep learning to love all over again, admit you need help, never give up the fight.
Admit you need Gods amazing grace you need his wisdom patience and light.
Make amends, start over, it is as simple as that, receive forgiveness when you fail.
God will transform your heart from the inside out, love within you will once again sail.
We must never give up trying no matter how hard or how long it seems to take.
It is God's job to give us a heart transplant, better lovers of us he will make.
He will give us another chance to change, just ask him to come into our heart
God will help us to love others like him, it is his business to give us a new start.
So ask God to change you, surrender and give him everything that lives in you.
Keep praying and asking God to fill you, with his divine love through and through.
You will win the battle against anger resentment jealousy bitterness and greed.
When you humble yourself and admit to the Lord, it is His Love and grace you need.

Prayer for the Grace to Desire Gods Word
The Beautiful Road
Let your word dwell in me night and day
Lord Jesus send your spirit without delay
A Road of Beauty is my path for endless days
May I hunger for your word and sing your praise
Lord your words are spirit and truth
They are beautiful they are filled with light
Your words are more than silver and gold
More than precious diamonds shining bright
Your words are wisdom and understanding
They plant love and mercy in each heart
They are stronger than precious silver
It is the pathway to life and will never depart
Grant me the grace to hunger for your word
May I desire to meditate on it night and day
Grant me the grace to keep thirsting for you
You light the trail on that most beautiful way
Let me not waste time, may I spend it with you
I would rather be nowhere else but at your side
I need you, I want you, I want to love you more
Under your wings day and night I want to hide
I can not live with out you with out you I’ll die
I will be alone forever with out you I will cry
I want to live in, let your beautiful word dwell in me
Let me hunger for your word that leads to eternity
Come with your wisdom Lord, teach me your path
Show to me Lord, the beautiful road you hath
I love you Jesus let your word bloom in my soul
May your word lead me to heaven tis my #1 goal

Blessed are those who weep and mourn
their sorrow will turn to joy.
The Cross in the Storms of Sorrow
If the clouds of life bring you sorrow today
Hang tight to Jesus and his cross all the way
God calms every storms of life that blows by
Put your trust in him in every tear drop you cry
Darkness will lift, the sun will once again shine
The rainbow will appear and things will be fine
Just walk in the storm, let God be your guide
He will hold your hand he is close by your side
Give your sorrow to God, he has great love you
Watch him turn black clouds into a beautiful blue
You will look back at the storm, one day you will see
God was in control of things, he didn't abandon thee
Trust in God do not look at the grey clouds in the sky
God is working all things out so wipe your crying eye
God is good, he loves you and knows your every need
God will calm every storm, pray and watch him heed

Stay Close To the Cross
Let us always stay close to the cross
especially when the road seems long
Let us always stay close to the cross
on the journey keep singing a song
Don't let the cross of suffering stop you from doing any good on the way
Don't let the cross of failures and disappointments keep from loving each day
Don't let the cross of hardships cause you to turn your cheek and turn back
Don't let the cross of grief keep you from staying on the holy track
Don't let the many crosses in this life stop you, from following Christ the light
Keep up the faith, no matter how heavy your burdens, to the cross hold on tight
Keep smiling, don't let go when troubles come, keep your eyes on the crown
Don't let any pain or suffering, physical or mental, cause you to throw it down
Let us always stay close to the cross
especially when the road seems long
Let us always stay close to the cross
on the journey keep singing a song
When others hurt you turn your cheek, a prayer is what you must say
When others hate you love your enemies in return never, never run away
When others persecute you keep walking with them, walk one more mile
When others insult you don't be sad be strong and keep wearing a smile
Crosses come in so many ways but we are called to carry them every day
We are called to forgive unlimited times we must carry our cross all the way
What ever cross you are called to carry hold tight, God will give you the grace
The weight of each one will be lightened at the glance of Christ bloody face.
Let us always stay close to the cross
Especially when the road seems long
Let us always stay close to the cross
On the journey keep singing a song
Some day you will rise from them all and the victory you will win
God will give you the strength of his spirit that come sfrom within
Christ conquer death even death on the cross this truth never forget
Carry your cross and be not afraid, persevere and you'll never regret
Alleluia , Alleluia , Alleluia
