Summer's Beauty


Beautiful God, you fill the earth with beauty,
painting breathtaking sunsets
and splashing colors into bouquets of flowers.
Let me bloom this month.
Let my life bring light and color into your world.
Let me shine for you, play for you, delight in you.
Open me to the miracles of summer, the flowering of praise, the sunshine of song.
Amen.
 
-Larry James Peacock

In Our Hour of Need


In times of weakness and hour of need,
yours is the strength by which we carry on,
the shoulder we rest our head upon.
When our load is heavy and too much to bear,
yours are the arms stretched out to help us
the grace that we depend on.
In times of weakness and hour of need,
your voice is heard,‘Come… find rest.
This is grace divine,
the path we tread to wholenessof body and spirit,
the path that leads to you,
and for which we offer our offering of praise.

Being Christian

The smile on my face 
doesn't mean my life is perfect.  
It means I appreciate what I have and 
what God has blessed me with.

Our Journey

As Helen Steiner Rice says;
" Life is a highway on which the years go by...
Sometimes the road is level, sometimes the hills are high...
But as we travel onward to a future that's unknown, 
We can make each mile we travel a heavenly stepping stone!"
