A Christmas Prayer


Let us give thanks oh Lord,
a special thanks to you
Let the bread we break bear testament
that your undying love for us is true

Let us give thanks oh Lord,
for the abundance on this day we share
Let our hearts be fountains
of your love and may we spread
joy everywhere

Often the worldly meaning of Christmas
makes us forget to celebrate in your name
So let us give special thanks oh Lord,
for this day on whence you came

Tis' the Season


Morning frost and holiday cheer
These are the signs that Christmas is near

Snowflakes falling while
decorating the tree
Shopping for gifts and spreading
joy with glee

Houses covered with blinking lights
Sleigh rides and snowball fights
Marshmallows in hot cocoa
Kisses underneath the mistle toe

Lovers snuggle by an open fire
while wishing for their hearts desire
Caroling your favorite Christmas songs
Listening for Santa's reindeer all night long

Making angels in the snow
Children waiting anxiously to know
what Santa Clause will bring this year
...Tis' the season Christmas is here!

The Prospering Power of God in Action

Here's a testimony and demonstration of God's power, to heal AND prosper at the same time, that's absolutely too awesome for me not to share. I have not written and posted any Inspirational Love Notes until recently because I've been experiencing a health challenge with my eyesight for the last month. It has been extremely scary to say the least. I woke up one morning and everything was hazy as if I was looking through a very dense fog. Even scarier, I was home alone with my six month old baby girl when these symptoms first occurred. I could barely see her or how to care for her as my eyesight got worse throughout the day.

Over the course of the three weeks that followed, I woke up to find these symptoms continually progressing for the worst. Even with my glasses on I was unable to see clearly how to perform my normal daily activities like driving, caring for my baby girl Khaliah, cooking or even read anything. I immediately began taking the situation to God in prayer. More specifically, I prayed giving thanks to God in advance for the symptoms being reversed and my eyesight fully healed and restored to optimal health.

After seeing several doctors, of which none could give me a definitive answer to the problem, I was finally referred to an eye retina specialist.  He saw inflammation in my eye cells that left untreated would've resulted in permanent damage to my eyesight. So my family and I continued to pray. In addition, I also continued to stand on the scripture of Jesus healing the blind man, in Mark 8:22, and saw God doing the same for me.
Here's were God began to prove Himself through me by demonstrating His awesome, unfailing power to do what man cannot.

First Praise Report: Two of the first three doctors I saw waived the fees for their services. So all the examinations and test they ran for my eyes while trying to find the problem was done at no charge to me.

Second Praise Report: When I went to my follow up appointment with the retina specialist yesterday, ALL of my test results for the various serious diseases they were testing me for, like Lupus, were negative. The inflammation in my eye cells he saw a few weeks ago is almost completely healed and reversing itself. My vision has made such an impressive improvement and rapid response to the eye drop medicine he gave me in such a miraculously short period of time, that even the doctor himself was amazed.

He told me he could not explain what caused the problem. Even more puzzling to him, was that he could not explain how or why my eyes have shown such remarkable healing progress, especially in the short time frame of two weeks ago when he first saw me and prescribed me the eye drop medicine. In fact, he was so moved by my demonstrated faith in God that he took my chart back and waived his fee for my visit as well before I left.

Now that’s the Prospering Power of God in Action!

Until next time, I surround in Love & Light! ~ Anna Ms.Poet Hendricks
