It is sometime in silence
I know how I feel,
And ask God for mercy
When nothing seems real.
And I ask Him, “Oh Father,
Please show me the way,”
Seems I hear a voice whisper
If humble you pray.
When the way groweth dreary
And there’s darkness around,
And I search for that something
That I hadn’t yet found…
Seemed I heard a voice whisper
“I will show you the way.”
Only trust in God’s promise
He will hear when you pray
It’s a lovely day to praise the Lord,
A day that’s fresh and new
That’s filled with Nature‘s beauty,
Created just for you.
It’s a lovely day to look, to see
The flowers, the trees, the birds.
The music of their voices rings,
None sweeter can be heard.
It’s a lovely day to thank the Lord
As all around we see
The vastness of blue skies above
And feel the Summer breeze.
It’s a lovely day to thank and praise
For a world that’s all in tune,
The wonders of the ocean’s tides,
The stars, the sun the moon.
It’s a lovely day to think of how
He cares for us each day.
As we journey in this life,
He’s there to lead the way.
It’s a lovely day because He gives
A hope that we can share
On earth a glimpse of Heaven
Where mansions are prepared.
A day to see, to thank, to praise
For such a God of love,
For blessings here on earth He gives
And eternal life above.

Too True, Too Often
The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. -[ Karen S Magee
Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.”- Dali Lama
Anger or hatred is like a fisherman’s hook. It is very important for us to ensure we are not caught by it.” – Dali Lama
Allowing the truth of who you are–your spiritual self–to rule your life means you stop the struggle and learn to move with the flow of your life.” – Oprah Winfrey
When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us -[Alexander Graham Bell
“When things go wrong as they sometime will,
When the road you’re trudging
Seems all up hill,
When funds are low,
And the debts are high,
And you want to smile,
But you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the cloud of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit;
It’s when things seems worst that you must
Not quit”-[Unknown
Life Still Has A Meaning
If there is a future there is time for mending-
Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.
Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow-
If you’re looking forward to a new tomorrow.
If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping-
When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.
Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling-
If there is time for praying there is time for healing.
So if through your window there is a new day breaking-
Thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching,
If with harvest over there is grain enough for gleaning-
There is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning.

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”~ Dr. Seuss
Help me walk with patience, Lord;
Help me watch and pray;
I know that You have heard my cry,
The sun will shine some day.
Help me seek your will, dear Lord,
O, keep me brave and true;
I know not what is best for me.
Send faith to see me through.
Help me walk each step with hope
Though I can’t see the light;
Lord, take my hand and lead the way;
Oh, guide me day and night!
Hour by hour; Lord give me faith,
Faith that never asks why;
Whatever is, Lord, help me say,
‘Safe in Your care I am.’
Anonymous Encouragement Poem:
The best of life is still ahead,
in the greying years, to be,
For dreams and hopes of life and love
Are slow to ecstasy.
And God is known to save the best
For aging years of time
When hearts are most in need of love
And joys that are sublime.
He knows of how we wish and pray
For wants of love and needs
And how we plead and pray to him
For joys within His creed;
So he reserves our greying years
To be the best of all –
With hopes and dreams to be fulfilled
And loves to be recalled.
When your days are darkest,
The whole world seems bleak and bare,
Just reach out your hand
And you will find him there.
When you are afraid or lonely,
Need someone to really care,
Just reach out your hand,
And you will find him there.
When your thoughts run rampant,
You think, “Can this be fair?”
Just reach out your hand
And you will find him there.
Although your steps may falter,
As you climb life’s winding stair,
Just reach out your hand
And you will find him there.
And then when you travel on again,
With many years to spare,
Remember, that when you reach out,
He is always there.
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
Marcus Garvey 
Don’t quit is an inspirational poem that you will refer to whenever you’re a bit less motivated. It’s a great way to get back on track again whenever you’re feeling down, are in a rut or have a block of some kind on your road.
