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!

Letting Go

She watches him leave and it pains her inside
that he has just told her yet another lie.
She fakes a smile, for deep inside she wants to cry,
She closes the door and wish it was just as easy,
to close her heart to the love for him,
which is tearing her apart.
He doesn’t know that she knows,
the apartment to which he goes.
She doesn’t need to follow him,
She has watched him enter many times before.

Tonight is the night she decides,
he is going to find out that she knows,
She wants to see the look upon his face
when he realizes that his cover is blown.
She takes her time, she is in no hurry,
She needs to calm her nerves and gather her strength
for what she is about to do.
She knocks on the door and when it opened,
stepped past the woman and walked right on inside.

The look on his face was priceless,
his jaws dropped open in shock.
The woman looks confused,
She smiles and gently explain,
‘That naked man in your bed,
is my husband my dear.
I just wanted to meet the woman,
he has thrown away his marriage for,
Now that I have met you,
what more can I say,
good luck my dear, he is all your.
She turns and leave but he is right behind her,
calling out her name.
Half way across the street he realizes
he is missing his pants.
She laughs all the way back to her car,
It really wasn’t that hard after all!

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

Words of Wisdom and Inspirational Quotes

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. -[ Karen S Magee

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.”- Dali Lama

Allowing the truth of who you are–your spiritual self–to rule your life means you stop the struggle and learn to move with the flow of your life.” – Oprah Winfrey

When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us -[Alexander Graham Bell

 

 

 

 

“When things go wrong as they sometime will,

 When the road you’re trudging

 Seems all up hill,

 When funds are low,

 And the debts are high,

 And you want to smile,

 But you have to sigh,

 When care is pressing you down a bit,

 Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

 Life is queer with its twists and turns,

 As every one of us sometimes learns,

 And many a failure turns about,

 When he might have won had he stuck it out;

 Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—

 You may succeed with another blow,

 Success is failure turned inside out—

 The silver tint of the cloud of doubt,

 And you never can tell how close you are,

 It may be near when it seems so far;

 So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit;

 It’s when things seems worst that you must

 Not quit”-[Unknown

 

 

 

Life Still Has A 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.

          ~ Author unknown

 

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”~ Dr. Seuss

 

Solitude

As oft we moan and groan about our broken hearts,
Of the love we had and lost, of the one who was insincere,
And whose promises and words of love were false.

Yet there are those who have never loved,
Who have never known what it is like to have
a broken heart,
Some whose lips have never been kissed,
Who have never had arms to hold them tight,
Who have never felt the touch of a gentle caress,
Or experience the ecstasy of another body next to theirs,
The womb that never bore a child,
The breast that never suckled,
What is it like to go through life without once being touched?

Some wait and wait to find the perfect someone,
That never ever comes along,
Wasted years, waiting for something that doesn’t exist,
Some wait for that perfect husband,
To give them that perfect child,
A glimpse of him eventually appears,
But alas! It is too late because the childbearing days are gone,
So there still remains that uneven equation,
And the feeling that something is missing.

We live in an imperfect world and there is no such thing,
As a perfect someone,
For those who have never loved,
There is no missing something you have never experienced,
And though it may seem safer,
Is it really happier not to love,
Than to love and have your heart broken?
Not necessarily, because there will be no good times
to remember,
No memories to cherish, no one to reminisce about,
No experience to guide you,
What is it like to have lived and never loved?

 

Sometimes we spend so much time moaning over the things that are wrong in our lives that we do not take the time to notice all the wonderful things we have that are often  times more important than the things we complain about.  Every morning we wake we need to give thanks to God for allowing us to live to see another day.   Give thanks for the things we have that we take so much for granted; like being able to see, or talk, or walk, always be mindful that there are some out there who can’t.   Give thanks for good health, for family and friends.  Give thanks for the problems and obstacles you were able to overcome.  These life lessons help to make us stronger.  These experiences can make us wiser.  At all times as long as there is life, give thanks!

Can I

Rain drops pitter patter on the roof,
as I look in your eyes,
The touch of your gentle caress,
make me want so much to forget,
the crazy world outside.
When you say that you love me,
Do you really mean it?
Is this love reunion or another betrayal?
Can I trust you to be true?
If I give you my heart,
will you protect it,
or will you just tear it apart,
and leave me standing alone in the dark?
My heart wants to receive you,
I want so much to believe in you,
Can I?

Believe In Yourself

Cover of "Believe In Yourself (Hay House ...

Believe in yourself,
And what you can be,
And not what others,
Think that you are,
Believe in your dreams,
And what you can achieve,
If you work towards your goal,
Believe in tomorrow,
And the hope that it brings,
With the dawn of each new day,
Believe in love,
And the one that you love,
The person you know him to be,
But the most important of all of these,
Is that you believe in you

I Love You

Close-up of a handsome man smiling at a cafe photo

I love your smile, the twinkle in your eyes,
I love the way you body embraces mine,
I love the way you hold my hand,
the way you stroke my hair,
I love the fact that you understand,
It’s not the big things but the simple things
you do that truly makes me happy so,
Like breakfast in bed, a bouquet of roses,
fixing me chicken soup when I’m down with the flu
I didn’t know what loving was until I met you,
Now that you are here in my arms,
I hope you stay this we,
We loving each other until the end of days.
