Mar. 13, 2009 - Some Different things...

The Owl

A wise old owl sat in an oak.
The more he heard, the less he spoke.
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why aren't we all like that wise old bird?

    - Christina Rossetti

Work

I am glad a task to me is given
To labor day by day;
For it brings me health, strength, and hope,
And I cheerfully learn to say,
"Head you may think; Heart you may feel,
But Hand you should work always. "

   -Louisa M. Alcott

We Gather Together

We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing,
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing:
Sing praises to His name, He forgets not His own.

Enjoy!

Feb. 14, 2009 - God's Love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perserveres.

Wishing you a Valentines Day filled with God's Love, and may you spread it on to others.

Feb. 7, 2009 - Poem called, "A Servant"

A Servant

A servant's very nice to have

But nicer one to be,

To help the other folk along

Than have them wait on me.

You never need to be ashamed

To be a servant true;

For kindness shown to other folks

Will all come back to you.

The greatest servant ever known

Was God's beloved Son;

He willingly served others till

His earthly life was done.

He left the glory-Home above,

A servant's life to live,

And die a servant's death as well,

His precious life to give.

Then how much more should we be glad

To serve and help and love,

For His dear sake, who stooped so low

To come from Heav'n above.

That poem was such a blessing to me, when I read it, so I hope it blesses you so much, and many others!

Feb. 6, 2009 - "Safe in the Arms of Jesus"

"Safe in the Arms of Jesus"

Safe in the Arms of Jesus,

Safe on his gentle Breast,

There by his love o'ershaded,

Sweetly my Soul shall rest.

             ~

Hark! 'tis the voice of angels,

Borne in a song to me,

Over the fields of Glory,

Over the jasper sea.

              ~

Safe in the Arms of Jesus,

Safe from corroding care,

Safe from the world's temptations,

Sin cannot harm me there.

                 ~

Free from the blight of sorrow,

Free from my doubts and fears;

Only a few more trials,

Only a few more tears.

            ~

Jesus, my Hearts's dear refuge,

Jesus has died for me;

Firm on the Rock of Ages

Ever my Trust shall be!

                 -Fanny Crosby

I love that! :) My favorite stanzas are the last two!

Feb. 3, 2009 - "Thank You, Heavenly Father" and "Two Seeds".

" Thank You, Heavenly Father "

While in this busy world today

We often need to stop and say,

"Thank you Heavenly Father."

                    ~

For parents, brothers, sisters too;

For health and strength our work to do,

We thank you, Heavenly Father.

                       ~

For birds that sing, for blooming flowers,

For all the many sunny hours,

We thank you, Heavenly Father.

                      ~

For priviledges to pray and sing

Eternal praises to the King,

We thank you, Heavenly Father.

"Two Seeds"

I hid a selfish little though,
To think and think about.

                ~

I did not know it would be caught,
Or ever be found out.

                 ~

But it was like a little seed,
And it began to sprout!

                 ~

It grew into a little weed,

And blossomed in a pout!

                   ~

I hid another little thought,

'Twas pleasant, sweet, and kind,

                   ~

So, if this time it should be caught,
I knew I shouldn't mind.

                  ~

I thought about it hour by hour,
'Twas growing all the while.

                ~

It blossomed in a lovely flower,
A happy little smile!

Hope you like them, I really did! :)

Feb. 3, 2009 - The Tides of Providence

"The Tides of Providence"

It's not what you gather but what you sow

That gives the heart a warming glow;

It's not what you get but what you give

Decides the kind of life you live.

                   -

It's not what you hoard but what you spare,

It's not what you take but what you share,

That pays the greater dividend

And makes you richer in the end.

                     -

It's not what you spend upon yourself

Or hide away upon a shelf

That brings a blessing for the day,

It's what you scatter by the way.

                    -

A wasted effort it may seem,

But what you cast upon the stream

Comes back to you in recompense

Upon the tides of Providence.

                - Author Unknown

Hope that blesses you as much as it does me!
