Hope {Beverly J Anderson}

Hope is the anchor we cling to
When we’re tempest-tossed on life’s sea.
Hope gives us courage to hang on
No matter how bad things be.

Hope is a candle that’s shining
When we’ve lost our course in the night.
Steadfast its light as it guides us
Back to the path we know is right.

Hope brings new strength for life’s journey,
Endurance for running the race.
When we are tired hope helps us
To keep a brave smile on our face.

Hope sees a brighter tomorrow,
And helps set our gaze towards the sky,
Knowing behind every dark cloud
A rainbow appears by and by.

Hope tells us to keep dreaming,
Although our dream, seems far away.
Hope plants a song in our being –
A joyous song to greet each day.

Hope is a priceless possession,
A gift that forever lives on.
Deep in our heart shines its promise…
“Child, after the night comes the dawn!”

A Day to Praise {Helen Gleason}

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.

“If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick up one of those pieces and begin again.”   {Flavia Weedn

 

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” {Ralph Emerson

 

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”

{Dr. Seuss

 

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”  {Lewis B Smedes

 

“Holding Resentment is like eating poison and waiting for the other person to keel over.” {Unknown

 

Too True, Too Often

 
Too often we don’t realize
What we have until it is gone
Too often we wait too late to say
“I’m sorry – I was wrong.”
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
We hold dearest to our hearts
And we allow foolish things
To tear our lives apart.
Far too many times we let
Unimportant things into our minds
And then it’s usually too late
To see what made us blind.
So be sure that you let people know
How much they mean to you
Take that time to say the words
Before your time is through.
Be sure that you appreciate
Everything you’ve got
And be thankful for the little things
in life that mean a lot.
