A Gift of Hope

Hello My Name Is Janis Marie Lloyd; I Grew Up On The Shores Of Lake Erie Ohio. ItS There I Developed A Love For Nature And All The Wonders Of GodS Beautiful World. Growing Up In The 60S And 70S There Was Plenty Of Change Going On And Plenty Of Life To Write About. In Those Teenage Years I Began Penning My Thoughts To Paper Whether Good Bad Or Indifferent I Needed To Express Myself. In High School Some Poems Were Performed As One Act Plays. So Thanks To My Thespian Teacher For The Encouragement! I Have Written Many Gifts Of Encouragement For Various Friends Family And Sometimes Complete Strangers That The Lord Leads Me To Like With \The Covered Bridge\ Written For A Young Married Couple Of \85\ For His Birthday. I Have Written Many Milestone Birthday Poems For Various Family Members That We Get Huge Belly Laughs From! ThereS Something Magical About Putting A Smile On SomeoneS Face Or Touching Their Heart With Caring And Whimsical Words. Today I Am Still Writing My Thoughts On Paper But The Biggest Difference Is I Am A Born-Again Christian A Work In Progress Growing Closer To The Lord Every Day And Knowing I CanT Make It Through The Day Without Him! I Am Also A Professional Song Writer Writing All Genres Hoping To Spread GodS Word Through- Out The World And Hopefully Attract Those Who May Not Know Him. In The Future I Hope To Develop A Puppet Ministry Teaching Bible Stories Through The Whimsical Faces Of Puppets.
