Sweet Release

Dear Lord I thank Thee for this day
And for Thy tender care
I come to Thee on bended knee
And call to Thee in prayer.
Dear Lord I thank Thee for this day
And for my gracious friends;
I look around at those I love
With joy that never ends.
Dear Lord I thank Thee for this day;
Come fill me with Thy peace;
Oh, hold me in Thy gentle hand,
And grant me sweet release.

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential…these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.
(Confucius)
A little girl walked daily to and from school. Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trip to school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning.
The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school, and she herself feared that the electrical storm might harm her child.
Following the roar of thunder, lightning, through the sky and full of concern, the mother quickly got in her car and drove along the route to her child’s school.
As she did so, she saw her little girl walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up and smile. Another and another were to follow quickly, each with the little girl stopping, looking up and smiling.
Finally, the mother called over to her child and asked, “What are you doing?”
The child answered, smiling, “God just keeps taking pictures of me.”

CAST NOT A STONE
Cast not the first stone, my friend,
When someone goes astray;
When a brother slips and falls,
Lift him up instead and pray.
Pass not along the sordid news
Of someone’s sin displayed;
Lift him up and help him stand
Because for him you prayed
