"For those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe in God, no explanation is possible."
God Keeps You Going
Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Failures keeps You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You Going
************************************************
Eternal Lord, how faint and small
Our greatest, strongest thoughts must seem
To Thee, who overseest all,
And leads us through Life's shallow stream.
How tangled are our straightest ways;
How dimly flares our brightest star;
How earthbound is our highest praise
To Thee, who sees us as we are.
Our feet are slow where Thine are fast;
Thy kiss of grace meets lips of stone;
And we admit Thy love at last
To hearts that have none of their own.
... Robert MacColl Adams (1913-1985)

"The True Course"

My heading set,
my course laid.
I cannot shrink
from duty made.
And should I falter,
I but pray,
that GOD in mercy
show me The Way.
"Jesus saith unto him,
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."
(John 14:6)
***********************************************
I asked God to take away my pride.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a by product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to Me.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
If you love God, share love!
THIS DAY IS YOURS. DON'T THROW IT AWAY

Depend on God
When you are sad He will dry your tears.
When you are scared He will comfort your fears.
When you are worried He will give you hope.
When you are confused He will help you cope.
When you are lost and can’t see the light
He will become your beacon, shining ever so bright.
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

A CHILD'S FAITH
"Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so"
Little children ask no more
For love is all they're looking for
And in a small child's shining eyes
The Faith of all the ages lies
And tiny hands and tousled heads
That kneel in prayer by little beds
Are closer to the to the dear Lord's heart
And of his Kingdom more a part
Than we who search, and never find
The answer to our questioning mind
For Faith in things we cannot see
Requires a child's simplicity
For lost in life's complexities
We drift upon uncharted seas
And slowly Faith disintegrates
While wealth and power accumulates
And the more man learns the less he knows
And the more involved his thinking grows
And, in his arrogance and pride
No longer is man satisfied
To place his confidence and love
With childlike Faith in God above
Oh, Father grant once more to men
A simple childlike Faith again
And with a small child's trusting eye
May all men come to realize
That Faith alone can save man’s soul
And lead him to a Higher Goal.

"Under His wings I am safely abiding,
Though the night deepens and tempests are wild;
Still I can trust Him, I know He will keep me,
He has redeemed me and I am His child."
~Cushing~
Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair,
I looked at her and sighed and wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg and used a crutch, but as she passed, she shared a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine,
I have 2 legs, the world is mine.
I stopped to buy some candy. The lad who sold it had such charm. I talked with him a while, he seemed so very glad, if I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me, "I thank you, you've been so kind.It's nice to talk with folks like you, you see," he said, "I'm blind."
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine,
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.
Later while walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue. He stood and watched the others play. He did not know what to do. I stopped a moment and then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?" He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew, he couldn't hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine,
I have 2 ears, the world is mine.
With feet to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I would know.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed. The world is mine.
I hired a plumber to help me
Restore an old farmhouse
And after he had just finished
A rough first day on the job
A flat tire made him lose
An hour of work
And his electric drill quit
His ancient one ton truck
Refused to start
As I drove him home
He sat in stony silence
On arriving he invited me in
To meet his family
As we walked toward the front door
He paused briefly at a small tree
Touching the tips of the branches
With both hands
Upon opening the door
He had undergone an amazing transformation
His tanned face was wreathed in smiles
And he hugged his two small children
And gave his wife a kiss
Afterward he walked me to the car
We passed the tree and my curiosity
Got the better of me
I asked him about what I had seen
Him do at the little tree
"Oh, that's my trouble tree
He replied" I know
I can't help having troubles on the job
But one thing's for sure
Those troubles don't belong in the house
With my wife and the children
So I just hang them up
On the tree every night
When I come home and ask God
To take care of them
Then in the morning I pick them up again
Funny thing is, he smiled
When I come out in the morning
To pick them up there aren't nearly
As many as I remember
Hanging up the night before.
