Thank-You Lord

Thank-You  Lord

 I have a Father in heaven above;

I have a table surrounded with love.

I have loved ones who care about me;

I have a country of liberty.

I have eyes to see the stars gleaming;

And ears to hear the river streaming.

A heart that longs to serve our living Lord.

And tears for a lost and dying world.

I have feet that  bring me one step closer;

To the place you have prepared for me.

Another hour, another day:

To love, to live, to follow your Way.

I have a mouth that can taste the snow;

White, clean,cascading, a crystallizing flow.

I can enjoy, knowing each snowflake is new

And everything wonderful came from you.

I can look upon a morning sunrise;

I can see your goodness with faith's eyes.

Look upon a mountain in a foggy view;

Knowing  nothing is impossible for you.

I can behold the colors of the setting sun;

I can see you in all the things you've done.

In the rain, in the rainbow , and here below.

So many blessings, so many to know.

I can smell the fragrance of a flower;
That little tiny hands have picked for me.
And know all the while both are miracles;
I find very, very precious to me.

I have a tongue, that can give Thanksgiving;

That can praise you  and with a new song sing.

Though lowly are we in a small, small, world.

Thank-you, Lord, Thank you, Lord, Thank-you Lord,

A New Chapter

 A New Chapter

Sometimes it seems like the sunshine hides its smile;

And sometimes it seems like the rain will never go away.

Some find it easy to say, let it rain, let it pour;

But it's hard when the sunshine seems not to shine anymore.

Sometimes the Lord uses the rain to bring us  a rainbow;

Sometimes He teaches us patience through the storms rage.

To teach us to love more, to laugh more, and to live life;

By beginning a new chapter on a newly turned page.

Just Begin Again

Treasure Box ~ Starting Over

Just Begin Again

By: Susan Y Nikitenko

October 8th, 2011

Where are you going?

What are you doing?

You're living your life;

At your own choosing.

Raindrops are falling;

Jesus is calling.

Stop drifting away;

Oh seek Him today.

The winds are churning.

A time of learning.

Troubled waters grow;

Teardrops falling flow.

The winds swirl around;

Because sin abounds.

Come back to Jesus;

In love He frees us.

His arms are greeting;

He hears your weeping.

He calms the great winds;

His love never ends.

One step and then two;

He'll walk beside you.

Just begin again;

Walking close to Him.

 Proverbs 24:16

 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:

but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
