This sunset is only
one of many, as we watch God paint the sky every
evening. The cloudy scenes remind me of the "storms in our life" that we
endure, but God is always with us and sees us through them.
God Bless you.

God Remembers You
When you are troubled in life
You just don't know what to do
Pause for a moment and be still
God remembers you.
When tears flow and dim your eyes
When hope is gone and friends are few
There is Someone who loves and cares
God remembers you.
When you're alone and have no peace
Skies are no longer a brilliant blue
Pause and then kneel in humble prayer
God remembers you.
When burdens are heavy to bear
When dark clouds dim your view
All troubles will someday end
God remembers you.
When you stumble and almost fall
Others may have failed to be true
Even though loved ones may forget
God remembers you.
When you are cast down in despair
Be faithful 'til life is through
Keep your faith and don't be afraid
God remembers you.

God Is Everywhere
When you search for God today
He can be found in a brief while
You will find Him in a child
He is with you in every trial.
You will see our God everywhere
He is in teens and aged ones too
He is in a quiet mirrored stream
There in a sunrise with day so new.
God is there in the evening sunset
There in a gentle breeze that blows
He is in every beautiful rainbow
There when every blessing overflows.
God is there in every fierce storm
He is there in a precious smile
He is there in every bird and flower
With you in every treacherous mile.
God is there to hear every prayer
He is with you in every weary sigh
Always with you in times of sorrow
He's there when you question "why."
God is in every kindness that's given
There as families and friends share
He is there in a soft, gentle snowflake
God is with you and He is with me...
God is Everywhere!

The Holy Bible
The Bible is a precious Book
It is God's Gift to man
Draw near to Him ~ Trust His Word
Then obey His every Command.
Read and study the Bible
Feast on His Word every day
What is Written is True
Let's never forget to pray.
The Bible teaches all mankind
How we must live here on earth
Do for others only what is good
Our soul has value of great worth.
This Holy Bible is purchased most
Yet, it is the least that's read
It lays on a shelf or a table
Other books are often read instead.
Dust collects on this Divine Book
It's seldom carried to Church anymore
God is still watching from above
It matters not if we're rich or poor.
Never doubt His precious Words
Learn to know Jesus in this Book
Care for it as a precious rare gem
Spend time there and take a look.

You Know Best Lord
Guide me, Lord, through this day
You know the way and I will follow You
Many things, I do not yet understand
Teach me 'til this life is through.
You know the way that is best, Lord
Help me stay safe on the narrow way
Protect me in the ways so unknown
I will keep trusting You and obey.
Teach me, Lord, to be patient and kind
Cast out every way of doubt and fear
Trials and troubles often assail me
It's a Comfort when I know You are near.
Someday, all these troubles will cease
Oh Hallelujah! Praise Your dear Name
It will be a Joy to see Your glorious face
You are ~ and forever will be ~ the same.
Guide me, Lord, to that Eternal Day
Heaven has become precious and so near
I am homesick for my Home above the sky
Violence is filling our world down here.
I will follow You every day, Lord
Pressing on toward Heaven and Home
Victory will be mine to live with You
Oh, so content there and never roam.

It's My Choice
I can be fearful
Or I can be cheerful.
I can be idle
Or I can read the Bible.
I can suffer from evil
Or I can flee from the devil.
I can frown and fuss
Or I can trust in Jesus.
I can neglect to pray
Or I can pray every day.
I can silence my voice
Or I can sing and rejoice.
I can be careless in living
Or I can be loving and forgiving.
I can be sad and bitter
Or I can become much better.
I can be proud and stumble
Or I can become humble.
I can rage with anger
Or I can fully erase danger.
I can gossip and find fault
Or I can bring it to a halt.
I can be filled with guile
Or I can be honest and smile.
I can carry sins stain
Or I can break sins chain.
I can be greatly distressed
Or I can choose to be blessed.
It is my choice and it's up to me.
In God's will is the place to be.

Joy Will Come
When trials as waves in the ocean come
To trouble and overwhelm the weary soul
It's then...God's Love surrounds us
Giving peace before sin takes its toll.
The presence of God is always with us
As we lean on Him in humble prayer
He guides us through the troubled seas
Taking our burdens on Himself to bear.
The waves of our trials pass on by
Giving us Joy for every new day
The Lighthouse Beam leads us safely
Clouds in the sky are no longer gray.
Lights are clear on the Safe Harbor
While our ship of life travels on
The ocean of strife continues to roar
Then Jesus comes and burdens are gone.
There's Peace in the hour of sorrow
There's Joy in the moment of pain
There's Love in the time of trials
There's Trust for our Eternal gain.
He is always with us, wherever we are
We have no need to worry nor fret
Just lean on Him in humble prayer
God is not finished with us yet.
