serenity

Dear God,

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change

the courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.

Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life,

and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.

Amen.

“Jesus Loves Me”

Yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so
Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are weak but he is strong

Yes Jesus loves me
Oh, yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so

Pressing on the up away
Always guide me Lord I pray
Undeserving, and stubbornly never fail to love me still

Yes Jesus loves me
Oh yes Jesus loves me
Oh yes Jesus loves me, for the Bible tells me so
Yes Jesus loves me, love
Oh yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so
For the Bible tells me so

(Feels so good to know) that I’m never alone
See, sometimes I’m lonely but never alone
For the Bible tells, for the Bible tells
For the Bible tells me so

See I know that he loves me
Whether I’m right, whether I’m wrong

We have truly lost one of the greats. I always love her songs. Listen to the icon’s still-powerful rendition of Yes, Jesus Loves Me.

smile

You are included in my prayers and this is my prayer verse for each one of you. . .

from 3John1:2: “Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.” In Jesus Name, may the favor of the Lord be upon you and your household as you fully DELIGHT IN HIS WORDS.

WHATEVER YOU ASK, MAY YOU RECEIVE
WHATEVER YOU SEEK, MAY YOU FIND
WHATEVER YOU WISH, MAY IT BE FULFILLED

I thank God for you! You are one of God’s most beautiful creations!
You are fearfully and wonderfully made and you’re precious in His sight!

Life too mirthful . . .

Grant unto us, Almighty God, in all time of sore distress,

the comfort of the forgiveness of our sins.

In time of darkness give us blessed hope,

in time of sickness of body give us quiet courage;

and when the heart is bowed down, and the soul is very heavy,

and life is a burden, and pleasure a weariness,

and the sun is too bright, and life too mirthful,

then may that Spirit, the Spirit of the Comforter, come upon us,

and after our darkness may there be the clear shining of the heavenly light;

that so, being uplifted again by Thy mercy,

we may pass on through this our mortal life

with quiet courage, patient hope, and unshaken trust,

hoping through Thy loving-kindness and tender mercy

to be delivered from death into the large life of the eternal years.

Hear us of Thy mercy, through Jesus Christ our Lord

 

Amen.

Thankfulness

Let us rise up and be thankful,

for if we didn’t learn a lot today,

at least we learned a little,

and if we didn’t learn a little,

at least we didn’t get sick,

and if we got sick,

at least we didn’t die;

so let us all be thankful.

Thank you God…Thank You.

Destiny

What if I never knew?

What if I never found you?

I never had this feeling in my heart

How did this come to be?

I don’t know how you found me

But from the moment I saw you

Deep inside my heart I knew

Baby you’re my destiny

You and I were meant to be

With all my heart and soul

I’ll give my love to have and hold

And as far as I can see

You were always meant to be

My destiny

I wanted someone like you

Someone that I could hold on to

And give my love until the end of time

But forever was just a word (just a word)

Something I’d only heard about

But now you’re always there for me

When you say forever I believe

Maybe all we need

Is just a little faith

‘Coz baby I believe

That love will find a way

You’re my destiny

something to ponder . . .

God had promised things to us that we shall know. He has taught us many things.

Those things are real. In any matter we’ll teach people those things.

- To Be A Kind Full Filling Fruit.

- To Shine Our Darkness.

- To Carry On The Holy Spirit.

If one carries the spirit one must RETURN.

If one shows all the ways another must come. COME.

If one teaches another must LEARN.

If one shows another must LOOK.

If one is pure another must be BRIGHT.

We Three Kings of Orient Are

We three kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain, moor and mountain

Following yonder star

O Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to thy Perfect Light

Born a King on Bethlehem‘s plain

Gold I bring to crown Him again

King forever, ceasing never

Over us all to reign

O Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

Frankincense to offer have I

Incense owns a Deity nigh

Prayer and praising, all men raising

Worship Him, God most high

O Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume

Breathes of life of gathering gloom

Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying

Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

O Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light

Glorious now behold Him arise

King and God and Sacrifice

Alleluia, Alleluia

Earth to heav’n replies

O Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to Thy perfect light
