One By One - Poem

One By One

One by one God’s beloved son healed and blessed each one

Have ye one sick, lame, blind, one halt or any one maimed person

Is there one leprous, withered, deaf or one afflicted in any manner

For I have compassion, mercy and will heal, come bring each one hither

No eye can see nor tongue repeat the marvelous things he taught

Each saw His light, they felt His love, they witnessed and none forgot

How deep is Christ’s love, how marvelous His power

How rich are His blessings, how great His desire

To fill one mind and heal one soul and mend one broken heart

Lifting each one toward Heaven’s home never again to part

One by one God’s beloved son held and blessed the children

He wept and prayed unto his Father and one by one he blessed them

Look behold your little ones, they cast their eyes toward heaven

And saw angel’s fiery light descend and encircle each little one

No eye can see nor tongue repeat the marvelous things he taught

Each saw His light, they felt His love, they witnessed and no one forgot

How deep is Christ’s love, how marvelous His power

How rich are His blessings, how great His desire

To fill one mind and heal one soul and mend one broken heart

Lifting each one toward Heaven’s home never again to part

Jesus commanded twelve disciples to bring forth bread and wine

He blessed and brake and one by one delivered emblems divine

This ye shall do in remembrance of my body and blood shed

That my Spirit may abide with you and testify, he said

No eye can see nor tongue repeat the marvelous things he taught

Each saw His light, they felt His love, they witnessed and never forgot

How deep is Christ’s love, how marvelous His power

How rich are His blessings, how great His desire

To fill one mind and heal one soul and mend one broken heart

Lifting each one toward Heaven’s home never again to part

Heavenly Father - Poem

Heavenly Father

Father omniscient in heaven and earth

   Awakens each breath and beating heart

His word molds mountains and skies above

   While whispers the Spirit divine guidance and love

Wondrous brilliance shines Kolob afar

   Light carries and illuminates each child star

Attentive, personal, individual care

   For each godly embryo journeying here

Righteous, evil, or teetering indecision

   Receive equal rights of agency, not coercion

Salvation, opposition, planned from the start

   Gifting God’s Only Beloved Son’s willing life and heart

Pruning, replanting, finding lost sheep

   Wandering forgotten rescued and received

Ordinance, covenants, power and glory

   Bestowed essential part of family’s final story

Restoration, resurrection, one eternal round

   Salvation, exaltation each generation bound

The last, the first, the many, the one

   The father, the mother, the daughter, the son

Elohim, Abba, Father of heaven and earth     

   All glory, all honor for life’s birth and rebirth

Swell wide the heavens sing praises above

   For Father whose name is spoken with love

6 Steps to doing free family history research using Puzzilla.org

Here are 6 steps to doing free family history research using Puzzilla.org.
Affordable premium features are also available for the serious user.

Puzzilla.org Beginner Tutorial

1.              Sign in to Puzzilla.org using your FamilySearch user ID and password.

2.              Examine “Ancestors” tree. Blue squares indicate males, red circles indicate females. Move your mouse over the symbols to browse their names.

a.     Notice  “Generations” field. Suggestion for youth: change to 7 or 8 generations.

b.     Click someone in the topmost row to select that person

c.      Click “Descendants”  button.

3.              Examine descendants tree.  Selected person is at the center; children are in the first circle, grand-children in the second circle, etc.

a.     Click “Targets” button. This adds a red square to persons whose children have not yet been found. These are good places to start because they are likely places where others’ research stopped.

b.     Suggestion: under Targets button click in “Birth Range” field and type 1830-1870 to narrow the time to a period of good record coverage.

c.      Click a target person. Suggestion: choose someone with an uncommon name.

4.              Click on “View in FamilyTree”. Examine person details in FamilyTree.

a.     Birth and death: upper left

b.     Spouse and children: lower left

c.      Parents and siblings: lower right

d.     “Record Hints” and “Search Records”: upper right

5.              Click “Search Records.” This is like a Google search and lists records in order of decreasing probability of matching your target person. Suggestion: Click “Record Hints” if any are available. Record hints show pre-selected historical records with a higher probability of including your target person.

6.              Examine “Search Results from Historical Records” or hint record details.

a.     Look for records containing your target person. Match the names, the event dates and places, and the relationships to known family members.

b.     Success: Previously-unknown family members are discovered in historical records, such as birth, marriage, death, census. Get help from a Family History Consultant to help you add new persons to the tree, attach sources, resolve duplicates, and submit ordinances.

c.      Try again: If you don’t find a match in the first Search Results page immediately, close that browser tab, return to the Puzzilla descendants tree tab and select a different “Target” person. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until previously-unknown family members are discovered in historical records.

d.     Suggestion: Try many searches; don’t get stuck on one person, one family, or one descendants tree. Try a different descendants tree for a different ancestor from the Puzzilla ancestors chart.
