For You, O Lord, have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before
the Lord in the land of the living.
Psalm 116:8-9
Through the Darkness to the Dawn
My heart was sorely aching
And through tears I could not see;
I'd felt I'd lost tomorrow,
That there was no hope for me.
But supporting and consoling,
My Lord did not depart,
For I could always see Him,
Through the window of my heart.
Then, my burdens somehow vanished
With the coming of the dawn,
My blinding tears subsided,
And my doubts and fears were gone.
He helped me past the shadows
Till I was whole again,
And whatever may beset me,
I know He will remain.

what good is it?"
James 2:16
What Is a Blessing?
What is a blessing in this life?
It is a kindly nod,
The sunshine of a special smile
Bestowed on us by God.
A blessing is the timely hand
That stays calamity,
Or keeps us calm and sensible
When there is tragedy.
It is each rung we reach upon
Our ladder to success,
And everything along our way
That brings us happiness.
A blessing is our loving spouse,
The baby in our arms,
And life itself upon this earth
With all its dreams and charms.
Each blessing means so very much
We should take time to say,
A prayer of gratitude to God
For helping us each day.

The moments I spend with You, God,
are more precious than gold to me,
for it's You Who keeps my ship afloat
on life's ever turbulent sea.
When the waters are dark and foreboding,
and storm clouds loom ahead,
If I turn to You, the waters are blue,
with bright, sunny skies instead.
Whithout You, God, I am nothing,
a ship without a sail,
a life without a purpose,
my efforts, of no avail!
You are the Light that guides me,
across life's turbulent sea,
and each moment I spend with You,
is more precious than gold to me!

This God Gives to Me
He gives me strength and courage
When failure comes my way.
He is my Inspiration
To face each newborn day.
He comforts and sustains me
When efforts seem in vain.
He is my Consolation
In times of grief and pain.
He is my Friend when others
Refuse to lend an ear,
And in my hours of loneliness
I know that He is near.
He never will forsake me,
Imperfect though I be,
For with my many faults and sins,
I know that He loves me.
