These Are My Wishes For You May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than its form. May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time in each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard you may be more than compensated for in another. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved. Have A Great DayHugssDon
Life is a Journey Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be, A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way, We must enjoy each moment like it was our last.
This MomentI may never see tomorrow,there is no written guarantee.And things that happened yesterday,belong to History.I cannot predict the future,I cannot change the past.I have just the present moment,I must treat it as my last.I must use this moment wisely,for it will soon pass away.And be lost to me forever,as part of yesterday. I must exercise compassion,help the fallen to their feet.Be a friend unto the friendless,make an empty life complete The unkind things I do today,may never be undone.And friendship that I fail to win,may never more be won. I may not have another chanceon bended knees to pray.And thank God with humble heart,for giving me this day.Have A great DayHugsssssssDon
SING AS THE BIRDS SINGOh, how sweet the music of the birdsThat chirp and sing in early morn.They make a melody without wordsAnd make me glad I was born.Let's all sing as the birds singAnd make a glad noise.Let our happy voices ringAnd tell of our many joys.If one bird falls upon the groundThe one who created it knows.Wings He gives them to fly aroundSeeds and berries for them grows.If so much for a bird, He caresHe cares more for you and me.We know He hears our prayersOur troubles He can surely see.Each time you begin to hearThe sweet music of the birds.You can know that God is nearAnd speaks to us without words.Norma Jean Duncan, Princeton, WVHave A Great DayHugssssssssssssDon
Beautiful Dreamer a poem by Stephen Foster Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me, Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,List while I woo thee with soft melody;Gone are the cares of life's busy throng.Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea,Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie;Over the streamlet vapors are borne,Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart, E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Christmas poem"His Humble BirthTenderly she held her Baby,And looked at Him with love.Her heart was filled with wonderment,about her Christ child from above.This truly was the Son of Godwas what the Angel told.Her tiny Baby full of grace,such a wonder to behold.?She thought of what His life would bring,He was born to set us free.But she only saw her infant Son,As a Mothers love would see.The shepherds came, the wise men too,To praise His Holy name.She sat in awe, and held her Child,While those to worship came.?She must have wondered why God's Sonwas born to her this day.She wanted so much to be worthy,as she bowed her head to pray.Mary wrapped her robe a little closer,around her new born Son.The chill of this old stable,must not touch the chosen one.?It was a humble birth,But a King was born that day.He came to pay the price for us,and wash our sins away.HugsssssssssssssDon
Footprints on the Heart Some people come into our lives and quickly go.Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our heartsAnd we are never, ever the same.Have A Great DayHugssssssDon
A Priceless Giftby Helen Steiner Rice Friendship is a priceless giftThat can't be bought or sold,But its value is far greaterThan a mountain made of gold. For gold is cold and lifeless,It cannot see nor hear,And in your times of trouble,It is powerless to cheer. It has no ears to listen,No heart to understand.It cannot bring you comfortOr reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a gift,Be thankful that he sends,Not diamonds, pearls, or riches,But the love of a real, true friend.
FAITH WILL CONQUERIf you are going through a trialAnd the burden is heavy for youSurrender it all to JesusHe knows what to do.Increase your Faith every dayKeep pressing on and be strongFaith will conquer every fearGod can fill your heart with song.Even when you are so wearyAnd when tears dim your eyesTrust in God to bring you through.He is with you and hears your cries.When discouragement touches your mindAnd your heart aches with painGod will lift the hard times from youBe patient as He restores you again.Pray to God for every momentLift your voice up in praiseIt will help to lift your spiritLet Him guide in all your ways.Leona I.

Will We Climb The Mountain?Those mountains we come acrossAs we journey through lifeWe stop beneath and wonderIf we can climb that highWe come to the conclusionIt's beyond what we can bearSo we decide not to try itAnd choose to stay right thereSo we stay just where we areUnproductive for the LordNot moving into what He hasUnaware He has much moreHow can God ever use usIf we don't want to move?If we stay hiding in a cornerWith no kingdom work to doGod desperately wants for usTo go deeper into HimTo conquer all our mountainsAnd have His life withinTo get out of the rutThat is holding us backAnd develop a deeper faithWhere we had sorely lackedThose mountains that we come acrossAre there to challenge usTo keep us ever trusting GodAnd relying on His loveFor each step we take with GodHe reminds us He is thereWe need not run away and hideNor cower in faithless fearBut step out boldly in total trustAs hard as it may beFor we will never grow in GodNor come to ever seeJust what lies beyond the mountainAnd all God wants to showIf we don't rise to conquer itWe shall never come to knowİ By M.S.LowndesHave A Great DayHugsssssDon
Desert TimesThere are times in our livesThe Lord may lead us throughA lifeless, barren desertA time of testing tooBut desert times can beA place of special growthWhere God can do a workAnd let His healing flowI know that in these timesWe don't feel God is thereWe feel so very distantAnd lost without His careBut God is there beside youTo bring you to a placeOf cool refreshing watersFlowing with His graceBut for the present momentYou maybe in a droughtDon't give up on your faithAnd don't you start to doubtGod is always faithfulAnd He will walk with youThrough the darkest momentsHe'll be leading youİ By M.S.LowndesHave a Great WeekendHugsssssssssDon
TIMES OF TESTING Times of testingBrings a blessingThat might come with a disguise.It's arrivalAs a trialCan't be viewed with carnal eyes.Look for meaningIn the weaningAnd the pruning that takes place.There'll be laughterSoon thereafterCause you'll see your Savior's face.He'll be smilingAnd beguilingYou to lean upon His breast.Then the testingAnd the blessingWill confirm that God knows best.Have a Great NightDon
Always There Hello God, I called tonightTo talk a little while...I need a friend who'll listen,To my anxieties and trials...You see, I can't quite make itThrough a day just on my own...I need your love to guide me,So I'll never feel alone.I want to ask you please to keepMy family safe and sound.Come and fill their lives with confidence,For whatever fate they're bound.Give me faith, dear God, to faceEach hour throughout the day,And not to worry over things,I can't change in any way.I thank you God, for being home,And listening to my call,For giving me such good advice,When I stumble and fall.Your number, God, is the only oneThat answers every time.I never get a busy signal,Never had to pay a dime.So thank you, God, for listening,To my troubles and my sorrow.Good night, God, I love You, too,And I'll call again tomorrow!
