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!"

May Angelou

Listen to yourself

and in that quietude

you might hear the voice of God.

A woman of wisdom, courage and love who was a bridge-builder, justice-bearer and literary giant.  Another bright light is shining in the great cloud of witnesses.

Who is Master of Me?

      I would rather please God
        and have a few people
          upset with me than
         to please people and 
       have God upset with me.

Trust God

When God pushes

you to the edge,

trust Him fully,

because only two

things  can happen.

Either He will catch

you when you fall

or He will teach

you how to fly.

Loving

“When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.”

14^th Dalai Lama  (b. 1935)
