This Is My Prayer

Bless Me, Heavenly Father, forgive my erring ways,

Grant me strength to serve Thee, Put purpose in my days...

Give me understanding, enought to make me kind

So I may judge all people with my heart and not my mind...

And teach me to be patient in everything I do,

Content to trust your wisdom and follow after you...

And help me when I falter and hear me when I pray

And receive me in thy kingdom to dwell with thee some day.

WHEN ANGELS SENSE YOU NEED THEM AND ANGELS ALWAYS DO THEY COME, UNSEEN, FROM EVERYWHERE TO HELP AND COMFORT YOU.

THEY HOVER CLOSE BESIDE YOU TILL ALL YOUR CARES ARE GONE, TILL THEY CAN SEE YOU ARE READY ONCE AGAIN TO CARRY ON.

THEN SOME OF THEM MAY FLY AWAY, AND TAKE THEIR GENTLE TOUCH, TO OTHER HEARTS THAT NEED THE LOVE OF ANGELS VERY MUCH.

BUT ONE, AT LEAST, STAYS WITH YOU AS YOUR CONSTANT FRIEND AND GUIDE, FOR GUARDIAN ANGELS NEVER LEAVE, THEY ARE ALWAYS AT YOU SIDE.

LEGEND OF THE RAIN DROP

THE LEGEND OF THE RAINDROP HAS A LESSON FOR US ALL, AS IT TREMBLED IN THE HEAVENS, QUESTIONING IF IT SHOULD FALL

FOR THE GLISTENING RAINDROP ARGUED, BY THE GENIE OF THE SKY, I AM BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY AS A SPARKLE HERE ON HIGH.

AND HANGING HERE I WILL BECOME PART OF THE RAINBOW'S HUE, AND I'LL SHIMMER LIKE A DIAMOND FOR ALL THE WORLD TO VIEW.

BUT THE GENIE TOLD THE RAINDROP, WHY DO YOU HESITATE TO GO? FOR YOU WILL BE MORE BEAUTIFUL, IF YOU FALL TO EARTH BELOW.

FOR YOU WILL SINK INTO THE SOIL AND BE LOST AWHILE FROM SIGHT, BUT WHEN YOU REAPPEAR ON EARTH, YOU WILL BE LOOKED UPON WITH DELIGHT.

FOR YOU WILL BE THE RAINDROP THAT QUENCHED THE THIRSTY GROUND, AND HELPED THE LOVELY FLOWERS TO BLOSSOM ALL AROUND.

AND IN YOUR RESURRECTION, YOU WILL APPEAR IN QUEENLY CLOTHES, WITH THE BEAUTY OF THE SKY, AND THE FRAGRANCE OF THE ROSE.

FOR THERE IS NOTHING LOST, OR ETERNALLY NEGLECTED, FOR EVERYTHING GOD EVER MADE, IS ALWAYS RESURRECTED.

SO TRUST GOD'S ALL WISE WISDOM, AND DOUBT THE FAThER NEVER, FOR IN HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM, THERE IS NOTHING LOST FOREVER.

WALK IN THE VALLEY

I KNOW I MUST RUN THIS RACE REAL SLOW..... BECAUSE I HAVE SO FAR TO GO.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN MY JOURNEY HAS ME DOWN, BUT I STOP AND THINK ABOUT MY HEAVENLY CROWN. SOMETIMES I WALK IN THE VALLEY.

I HAVE TO KEEP GOING THROUGH ALL MY PAIN. CAUSE IN THE END I HAVE SO MUCH TO GAIN.... SOMETIMES I WALK IN THE VALLEY.

FATHER GOD, I KNOW I WILL ENDURE AND MAKE IT THROUGH, BECAUSE I CAN ALWAYS REACH OUT AND DEPEND ON YOU. SOMETIMES I WALK IN THE VALLEY.

I KNOW EVERYDAY IS NOT GOING TO BE EASY FOR ME. BUT IN JESUS NAME, AM CLAIMING THE VICTORY! BECAUSE SOMETIMES I MUST WALK IN THE VALLEY.

MAY GOD BLESS

YOU MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH UNSPEAKABLE JOY, NOT ONLY IN THE WORLD TO COME, BUT IN THIS WORLD ALSO.

MAY YOUR PATH BE BRIGHT AND FULL OF LIGHT EVERYWHERE YOU GO. MAY GOD TELL DARKNESS THAT IT MUST FLEE AT YOUR COMMAND.

AND I PRAY YOUR FEET WILL NEVER STUMBLE OUT OF GOD'S PLAN.

MAY THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART COME TRUE, AND MAY YOU EXPERIENCE PEACE IN EVERYTHING YOU DO.

MAY GOODNESS, KINDNESS, AND MERCY COME YOUR WAY. AND, MAY YOU GAIN WISDOM AND GROW IN THE LORD EVERDAY.

I ASKED FOR PROSPERITY.............. AND GOD GAVE ME BRAIN AND BRAWN TO WORK.

I ASKED FOR COURAGE.... AND GOD GAVE ME DANGER TO OVERCOME.

I ASKED FOR LOVE............ AND GOD GAVE ME TROUBLED PEOPLE TO HELP.

I ASKED FOR FAVOURS...... AND GOD GAVE ME OPPORTUNITIES.

I RECEIVED NOTHING I WANTED, I RECEIVED EVERTHING I NEEDED!

THE LITTLE MIRACLES OF LIFE

THERE ARE SPECIAL LITTLE MIRACLES THAT COME AND GO EACH DAY AND PERHAPS WE SCARCELY NOTICE AS THEY GENTLY SLIP AWAY.

SPECIAL LITTLE MIRACLES ARE NOT...MYSTERIOUS THINGS WE CAN'T EXPLAIN. THEY'RE AS SIMPLE AS THE SUNSHINE COMING AFTER COLD SPRING RAIN.

THEY ARE AS QUIET AS A FRIENDLY WORD THAT MAKES A WARM HEART KNOWN. AND AS CHEERING AS A TENDER NOTE THAT SHOWS WE ARE NOT ALONE.

THEY COME AS UNDERSTANDING WHEN A DOUBT OF OURS IS ENDED. AND AT TIMES, THESE LITTLE MIRACLES EVEN KEEP OUR FRIENDSHIPS MENDED.

WE FIND THEM IN THE LOVE WE SHARE, THE KIND THINGS PEOPLE DO. AND THE FAITH WE KEEP WITHIN OUR HEARTS TO MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD NEW.

SPECIAL LITTLE MIRACLES COMFORT US. THEY LIGHTEN UP A DREARY SKY. THEY LIFT US UP SO TENDERLY, AND THEN THEY QUICKLY PASS US BY.

BUT, THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN HARM US OR TAKE OUR FAITH AWAY. IF WE TRUST IN THOSE LITTLE MIRACLES THAT FILL OUR LIVES EACH DAY.

AND YOU, MY NET FRIEND ARE A SPECIAL MIRACLE TO ME!
