Special moments spent with you
Have meant so much to me.
We’ve laughed and cried together….
We’ve grown tremendously.
We’ve talked about our childhood
And discovered hidden truths.
We’ve solved some things between us,
Maturing past our youth.
I wouldn’t trade these moments
Or erase them, if I could,
For every step we’ve taken
Has been for our own good.
We understand each other
And accept what lies within.
God’s strength outweighs our weakness;
His grace has made us friends.
One morning not so long ago
When nothing turned out right,
A little bird paused on the sill
To rest from it’s long flight.
‘Oh little bird,’ I said, ‘I’m sad;
Although we’re deep in Spring,
The bluebells planted at my door
just simply will not ring.’
And then I knew how senseless
It was to fume and fret;
That I didn’t count my blessings
Was a cause for real regret.
For with the beauty all about,
Despite what day might bring,
I knew the birdlet’s song was true;
‘Why cry when you can sing?’
We all have those days when nothing seem to go right no matter how hard we try. Sometimes when problems come they all seem to come at once. We sometimes get so pre-occupied stressing over our own problems that we fail to realize there are people far worse off than ourselves. At times when we take the time to reflect our problems might be minor compared to others. Our problem could be the loss of a job, the breakup of a relationship, children giving problem or an inconsiderate neighbor. Although it might not be easy, these are problems that can be solved. Just think about the person who has just lost his or her mother, father, an only child, or a close family member? What can you say to that person to make the pain go away. Is there anything that anyone can do to fill the void that is left? Death is so final, there is no tomorrow, no second chance to do things differently. Therefore we must give thanks for life even if it may be filled with problems for at the end of the day it is the most important thing that we have. Everything else takes second place.
God sheds His love around us
As spring brings forth her blossoms –
The mountain peaks, the canyons deep
Speak that He is so awesome!
One cannot view a rainbow
Or hear a cardinal sing,
Smell the sweet aroma of the honeysuckle
And watch an eagle take to wing
Without believing in miracles
That occur everyday,
Which we often take for granted,
Enlightening our way.
The rolling of the ocean,
A shell washed upon the shore,
Hummingbirds so tiny –
Yet who could ask for more?
The pitter- patter of each raindrop,
Dew upon a rose,
An acorn falling from an oak
It’s amazing how it grows!
God sheds his love around us,
For He just loves to share
The bounty of this beautiful world
And how much He really cares!
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The Lord is my strength and my shield, in whom my heart trusted and found help. So my heart rejoices; with my song I praise God. {Psalm 28 V 7}
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.
Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you {Matthew 7 V 7}
The act of helping others should arise as a result of a desire from the heart and not because we feel pity, otherwise we would have failed to grasp the true understanding of kindness which then becomes meaningless”
There are six things the Lord hates- no seven things he detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.
