Be Still

Sometimes I ask the question, “My Lord, is this your will?” It’s then I hear you answer me, “My Precious Child... be still.” Sometimes I feel frustrated, Cause I think I know what’s best. It’s then I hear you say to me, “My Busy Child... just rest.” “I know the plans I have for you, The wondrous things you’ll see; If you can just be patient, Child, And put your trust in me. I’ve plans to draw you closer. I’ve plans to help you grow. There’s much I do you cannot see And much you do not know. But know this, child ... I LOVE YOU. You are precious unto Me. Before I formed you in the womb, I planned your destiny. I’ve something very special I hope for you to learn. The gifts I wish to give to you are gifts you cannot earn. They come without a price tag, But not without a cost; At Calvary, I gave Myself, So You would not be lost. Rest, Child, and do not weary of doing what is good. I promise I’ll come back for you just like I said I would. Your name is written on my palm, I never could forget; Therefore, do not be discouraged when My answer is... “Not Yet.” ~ Author Unknown ~

He Only Takes the Best

God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around her and whispered "Come with me." With tear-filled eyes we watched her suffer, and fade away. Although we loved her deeply, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating. Hard-working hands put to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. ~ Author Unknown ~

How Do You Measure Success

How do you measure success? To laugh often and much. To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children. To earn the appreciation of honest critics, and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty. To find the best in others. To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, a redeemed social condition, or a job well done. To know that even one other life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

I’m Free

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took God’s hand when I heard the call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief; Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me God wanted me now, God set me free. ~ Author Unknown ~
