Thought For Today

Never allow yourself to go down a path where your ability to make a judgment between what is right or wrong become distorted by being able to find justification for your actions.

M. Williams

Thought For Today

“Some people use any and every negative event to justify their doing nothing,

while others use these same experiences as motivation to effect changes and

make a difference for their families and by extension, to humanity.”

Michael Williams

Thought For Today

“We all wish that we could go through life and be successful without risking anything,

but life teaches us that where there is no risk there is usually no gain”

Michael Williams

Thought For Today

“How foolish is the man who spends time digging holes to bury people instead of seeds,

then wonders why there is so much weed and no fruits to reap from his garden”

Michael Williams

Thought For Today

“Complacency, indecision, procrastination and fear are like steel chains wrapped around our body. They are our handicaps which restrict our ability to move and respond to our environment, however the garnering of positive thoughts gives us even greater strength to break these bonds and free us from our self-inflicted captivity”.

Michael Williams

Thought for Today

 The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

Thought For Today

“If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap.

If you want happiness for a day — go fishing.

Thought For Today: Always Make Time to Pray

 

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My duty toward God was now done
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of God to friends,
They’d laugh at me I’d fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in His hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into His book and said
“Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down…
But never found the time”

Life Still Has 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.

Autumn Reflections {Alice J. Christianson}

With early autumn come the days
I love the best of all,
When the sunlight gilds the landscape with
The mellow light of Fall.
October’s trees don leaves of gold,
Bright red and amber too;
No treasure chest could boast
Jewels of so rare a hue.
The harvest has been gathered in,
Vineyards their riches yield;
In little, sheltered garden, one
Last rose may be reveled.
I love to see the roadside stands
That offer up their treats…
Pumpkins and juicy apples, grapes,
And cider, sharp and sweet.
With Autumn comes Thanksgiving,
That special time when we,
In church and home gather to join
With friends and family,
To thank God for the blessings He
So graciously bestows:
May we never take for granted
The freedoms that we know.
