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.

Lost and Found {By Linda-Marie Bariana}

Before I knew Lord Jesus,
I was so involved in me,
But now that He lives in my heart
There’s so much joy to see!

Before I walked with Jesus,
My steps would always stray,
But now my day is incomplete
Unless I kneel and pray!

Before I trusted Jesus,
I was empty deep inside,
But now He handles all my cares;
His love in me abides!

Before I served sweet Jesus,
I had no special goal,
But now I know His plan for me;
Instead of half, I’m whole

Before I praised Lord Jesus,
Each day was ever the same,
But now my heart rejoices
As each day I praise His name!

For His blessings are unending,
And His graces are profound,
And his hope is so fulfilling,
Only happiness abounds!

So accept Him as your savior,
Then invite Him as your guest,
When you give your life to Jesus,
He will smile and do the rest!

The Presence of the Lord [By Hope C. Oberhelman]

What makes each day seem beautiful,
Though the skies are filled with rain;
What makes our lives so full of peace,
Though we oft are touched with pain?

What makes each day seem beautiful
When the road ahead is long;
What makes our lives so full of hope
When we seldom hear a song?

What makes each day seem beautiful,
Though our hearts are filled with care;
What makes our lives so full of joy,
Though there’s sadness everywhere?

What makes each day seem beautiful
When we do not find reward;
What makes our lives so full of love…
It’s the presence of the Lord!

I Am Not Afraid

I walk with my head held high,
and I am not afraid to pursue my dreams,
overcome my challenges,
remove my obstacles,
I am not afraid of change.
For the past I have no regrets,
What’s done is done,
it was how it was meant to be.
To the future I look without fear,
for I know God will see me through.
He directs my path,
He shows me the way to go.
I can count on Him to lead and guide me,
in the pursuit of my dreams and final destiny

Belief Brings Peace {By Gina Mazzullo Laurin}

Believe in God’s faithfulness
In whatever you do,
Believe in His wisdom
To do right by you,
For His knowledge surpasses
The wisest of men
And His power is greater
Than we comprehend.
With One such as He
In our hearts, by our side,
We can walk down life’s roads
With a confident stride.
And though there are troubles
And trials in this life,
Know the great God of Heaven
Can handle your strife.

Have Faith

Having faith is being able to believe in something when everything seems hopeless.  The possibilities of you fulfilling a goal or achieving your dreams might seem dim.  Everything may appear to be going wrong.  Friends abandon you and you are left feeling lost, in deep despair and ready to quit.  You feel you just can’t make it, all hope is gone and you have come to the end of the road.  Slow down, stop and listen to that little voice inside; the one that tells you that you can do it, that you can go on.  Have a little faith and believe that it will happen.  Believe that your dreams will come true.  In your deepest, darkest moments, faith will see you through.  So have faith and believe even when it seems there is nothing left to believe in!

Mothers Day

Today is Mothers Day.  Let us take this opportunity to salute all the wonderful moms out there.  Not only the biological mothers but to all of those who are mothers to  children that are not their own.  To all the mothers who have worked and have made a lot of sacrifices so that their children can have  good lives.   On this special day I wish for you all a very happy, peaceful and blessed day!!

God’s Love [By Charles Clevenger ]

‘Do unto others,’ says the Golden Rule,
‘As you’d have them do unto you.’
It’s a simple rule to live by,
Day by day – the whole year through.

We all are God’s precious children,
No matter the creed, color or race.
Let our lives reflect God’s abiding love
So others will know His grace.

Don’t hide your light ‘neath a bushel,
Let it shine – for all to see.
The world is to be our parish
To extend love to humanity.

Have I done my best, I muse.
Shown clarity towards my fellowmen;
Have I used my God-given talents
To show God’s love where I can?

Don’t hide your light in the shadows,
Nor allow it to grow faint or dim.
Let it shine with all its glory –
To proclaim your love for Him.

Thought For Today

Lord Give Me Faith {By Phyllis C. Michael}

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.’
