A thought
Came out of space
Found lodging in my mind
Just briefly, for it
Had not come to stay
It grew
In that brief moment
From thought to real action,
Therefore, beware what thought
You house at all.
~~~Clarice M. Joycox( or Jaycox)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
If a man die, shall he live again?
I know that my redeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand at the
latter day upon the earth . . .
And though after my skin worms
destroy this body, yet in my
flesh shall I see God.
Job 14:14 19:25-26
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"JESUS"
When I'm unhappy and discouraged,
I feel His presence and am comforted!
When I'm lonely I sing a hymn to Jesus! and
can keep on keeping on.
When I want to just "give up" ~~~
He lets me know He still wants to use me.
When I wake up each morning ~ I know
I am here for a purpose ~~~ God's purpose!
I feel so very, very "little" but
"LITTLE IS MUCH IF GOD IS IN IT"

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP
I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP
IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE
I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
JESUS LOVES ME! THIS I KNOW
FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO
LITTLE ONES TO HIM BELONG
THEY ARE WEAK BUT HE IS STRONG
(REFRAIN)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME
YES, JESUS LOVES ME
YES, JESUS LOVES ME
THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
JESUS LOVES ME! HE WHO DIED
HEAVEN'S GATE TO OPEN WIDE
HE WILL WASH AWAY MY SIN
LET HIS LITTLE CHILD COME IN
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
JESUS LOVES ME! LOVES ME STILL
THOUGH I'M VERY WEAK AND ILL
FROM HIS SHINING THRONE ON HIGH
COMES TO WATCH ME WHERE I LIE
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
JESUS LOVES ME! HE WILL STAY
CLOSE BESIDE ME ALL THE WAY
IF I LOVE HIM WHEN I DIE
HE WILL TAKE ME HOME ON HIGH

When we feel we have nothing left to give
And we are sure that the song has ended
When our day seems over and the shadows fall
And the darknesss of night has descended,
Where can we go to find the strength to valliantly
keep on trying?
Where can we find th hand that will dry the tears
that the heart is crying?
There's but one place to go and that is to God
And,\, dropping all pretense and pride,
We can pour out our problems without restraint
And gain strength with Him at our side.
And together we stand at life's corssroads
And view what we think is the end;
But God has a much bigger vision,
And He tells us it's only a bend.
for the road goes on and is smoother
And the pause in the song is a rest,
And the part that's unsung and unfinished
Is the sweetest and richest and best.
So rest and relax and grow stronger;
Let go and let God share your load.
Your work is not finished or ended;
You've just come to a bend in the road.

May there always be a work

for your hands to do.

May your purse always hold

a coin or two.

May the sun always shine

on your windowpane.

May a rainbow be certain

To follow each rain.

May the hand of a friend

Always be near you.

May God fill your heart

To cheer you.

((((from Owita's notebook)))))))
DID YOU GIVE HIM A LIFT?
Did you give him a lift
He's a brother of man
And bearing about
all the burden he can
Did you give him a smile?
He was downcast and blue
And the smile would have helped him
to battle it through.
Did you give him your hand?
He was slipping downhill,
And the world, so I fancied,
was using him ill.
Did you give him a word?
Did you show him the road?
Or did you just let him go on
with his load?
Do you know what it means to
be losing the fight?
When a lift just in time
might set everything right?
Do you know what it means ~ just
a clasp of a hand,
When a man's borne about all a man
ought to stand?
Did you ask what it was ~ why
the quivering lip?
Why the half-suppressed sob, and
the scalding tear's drip?
Were you brother of his
When the time came of need?
Did you offer to help him
or didn't you heed?
