Help me, dear Lord, to be honest and true In all that I say and all that I do; Give me the courage to do what is right To bring to the world a glimpse of Your light. Author Unknown Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why we call it "the present" Author Unknown These things I warmly wish for you - Someone to love, some work to do, A bit o' sun, a bit o' cheer, And a guardian angel always near. Old Irish Greeting A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird? Edward H. Richards God gives us children for a time To train them in His way, To love them and to teach them how To follow and obey. Spergeon Children may not inherit their parents' talents, but they will absorb their values. Author Unknown So lift up your heart to the heavens, There's a loving and kind Father there Who offers release and comfort and peace In the silent communion of prayer. Author Unknown I look to Thee in every need And never look in vain; I feel Thy strong and tender love, And all is well again. H.W. Longfellow A Little Love A little love, a little trust a soft impulse, a sudden dream and life as dry as desert dust is fresher than a mountain stream Author Unknown God does not always answer yes To every prayer I pray; Sometimes He answers, "No, My child, I have a better way." Author Unknown If you've rebelled and turned away From what you know is true, Turn back to God--He will forgive; His pardon waits for you. Author Unknown We're all dependent on the strength We draw from one another, For we're connected by the love That comes from God our Father. Author Unknown To help another person grow, You have to pay a price; It takes the giving of yourself And that means sacrifice. Author Unknown Take the world but give me Jesus In His cross my trust shall be; Till, with clearer, brighter vision, Face to face my Lord I see. Author Unknown My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness. His oath, his covenant, his blood Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. On Christ, the solid rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. Author Unknown 'Tis a Gift to be Simple, 'Tis a gift to be free, 'Tis a gift to come down where you ought to be. And when we find ourselves in that place just right, T'will be in the valley of love and delight." Author Unknown Why must I bear this pain? I cannot tell; I only know my Lord does all things well. And so I trust in God, my all in all, For He will bring me through, whate'er befall. Author Unknown Love is an attitude, love is a prayer, For someone in sorrow, a heart in despair; Love is goodwill for the gain of another, Love suffers long with the fault of a brother. Author Unknown When every worry, every care To God in faith is brought, We have no place on which to base One single anxious thought. Author Unknown Because life's circumstances change, Our happiness may not remain; But if we're walking with the Lord, Our inner joy He will sustain. Author Unknown "For better or for worse," we pledge, Through sickness and through strife; And by the help and grace of God We'll keep these vows for life. Author Unknown Don't be discouraged, child of God, By what you cannot do; Just give the Lord your very best It's all He asks of you. Author Unknown In the silence of my chamber I may with my savior share All my worries and my troubles As I talk with him in prayer. Author Unknown If God sees the sparrow's fall, Paints the lilies, short and tall, Gives the skies their azure hue, Will he not then care for you? Author Unknown I lift my cap to beauty, I lift my cap to love; I bow before my duty, And know that God is above! My heart through shining arches Of leaf and blossom goes; My soul, triumphant, marches Through life to life's repose. And I, through all this glory, Nor know, nor fear my fate - The great things are so simple, The simple are so great! Fred G. Bowles A careful man I ought to be; A little fellow follows me. I do not dare to go astray For fear he'll go the selfsame way. Not once can I escape his eyes; Whate'er he sees me do he tries. Like me he says he's going to be... That little chap who follows me. I must remember as I go Through summer sun and winter snow, I'm molding for the years to be... That little chap who follows me. Author Unknown "O holy trust! O endless sense of rest! Like the beloved John To lay his head upon our Saviour's breast, And thus to journey on." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Born on Monday, Fair in face; Born on Tuesday, Full of God's grace; Born on Wednesday, Sour and sad; Born on Thursday, Merry and glad; Born on Friday, Worthily given; Born on Saturday, Work hard for your living; Born on Sunday, You will never know want.

Oh, so many colors full of love, Colors filling us, surrounding us. Colors overflowing from one to another, Peaceful, joyful, loving colors. All colors in all colors. Jesus comes to us all in colors.

Bowles Today Yesterday and Tomorrow There are two days about which nobody should ever worry. These are yesterday and tomorrow. So with only today to cope with, the burden seems lighter, for nobody ever stumbled under the burden of today. It is only when they add yesterdays and tomorrows to the load they are carrying, that it becomes unbearable. Helen Steiner Rice When I Must Leave You by Helen Steiner Rice When I must leave you for a little while, Please do nor grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with gallant smile And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all the things the same, Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer, And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near; And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky! I wish you shelter from the rain I wish you freedom from all pain. I wish you riches untold And all the joy your heart can hold I wish you sunshine from above. But most of all I wish you love. Author Unknown The World Needs Friendly Folks Like You by Helen Steiner Rice In this troubled world it's refreshing to find Someone who still has the time to be kind, Someone who still has the faith to believe That the more you give the more you receive, Someone who's ready by thought, word or deed To reach out a hand in this hour of need. The World Needs Friendly Folks Like You by Helen Steiner Rice In this troubled world it's refreshing to find Someone who still has the time to be kind, Someone who still has the faith to believe That the more you give the more you receive, Someone who's ready by thought, word or deed To reach out a hand in this hour of need.
