Even In September

Even In September

September has the beginnings of death;

But also new beginnings of life.

Many September flowers fade away.

But many are the new sprouts of life.

And if winter holds off long enough;

We will see new blooms again.

Even in September.

-------------------------

Life is always changing and people too.

Some things come to an end.

But God always brings to us something new.

A thought, a goal, a friend.

Sometimes the things we once knew fade away;

And then new things grow.

Hopes and dreams of tomorrow's sunshine;

And more of life to know.

Even in September.

Just A Little Note About My Life

Just A Little Note About My Life

I have become very busy lately and if anyone in the whole wide world really wants to know why I haven't been posting, it's because I have been helping with a moving sale. My neighbors just a couple houses up are moving and we are helping her clean, lift and price. Well, somehow I hurt my back and I've been having back spasms going on my third day. I wasn't able to do my scheduled volunteer work at the hospital, not only did I forget all about working on every forth Tuesday of the month, I didn't find a replacement to fill my spot. I was very disappointed in myself. I strive to be a dependable person. When I'm not used to my schedule I sometimes forget things.

My daughters and I are also helping close family friends with a wedding happening in August. So we have been busy with centerpiece flower arrangements, flower bouquets, decorating the arch and planning the reception hall and making decorations.

I still haven't finished putting mulch on the side of my home. So it is still sitting in my driveway waiting for my back to get better. I enjoy taking care of my flower gardens even if I do a little at a time.  Everything looks very beautiful this time of year.

Then just the everyday tasks of the home and cooking for my family.

I wrote all of this just to let you all  know-  I haven't forgotten you and I'm not quitting. You are in my prayers always.

We found a very old copy of Robert Louis Stevenson book for children called, Childs Book Of Verse - The first addition. It's illustrated. The book is sold online for $180.00. We are selling it for 100.00. The moving sale begins this week. Pray that it goes well.

Dear Jesus

Treasure Box ~ Jesus Our Friend

Dear Jesus

By: Susan Y Nikitenko

********

Dear Jesus,  You're my best friend;

You're the song in my heart.

You're the reason I'm forgiven;

You won't let me fall apart.

Dear Jesus,  You're my captain;

You're the boat that I sail.

You're the reason that I'm living;

You've snatched my soul from hell.

Dear Jesus, You're my mountain;

You're faithfulness  endures.

I know I can trust your love;

I know I'm safe and secure.

Dear Jesus,  You're my blue sky;

You shine in my heart today.

Because when I worship you;

All the dark clouds roll away.

Dear Jesus,  You're the fountain;

That flows eternally.

All that drink of your  water.

Will  find faith and hope in thee.

 CHORUS:

You're my ocean,  that flows strong;

You're grace rides on the waves.

You're serene,  gives us a peace;

You are the power that saves.

Dear Jesus,  You're my best friend;

And the friend of all who trust you.

You are the reason for life;

I pray, I will always please you.

We can feel secure in knowing He has a greater plan even through suffering and difficulties.  God has a reason for the problems we face.  We can feel secure in that He said, " I will never leave thee."

We can feel secure in knowing that God never lies and that we can count on His promises.  We can feel secure in that nothing can pluck us out of His hand and that we have a home prepared for us.

He will not leave His children comfortless.   ~ Susan Nikitenko
