Holy Alphabet

Unknown Author

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame

Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know

Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee

Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone

Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command

Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high

Yes there's good times and bad but
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

If I Had My Child Again

Unknown Author


If I had my child to raise all over again
I’d finger-paint more and
Point the finger less
I’d do less correcting
And more connecting

I’d take my eyes off my watch
And I’d watch with my eyes
I’d care to know less
And know to care more

I’d take more hikes
And fly more kites
I’d stop playing serious
And begin seriously playing

I’d run through more fields
And I’d gaze at more stars
I’d do more hugging
And less tugging

I’d build self-esteem now
And my new house later
I’d be firm less often
and I’d affirm much more

 

I’d teach less about the love of power
And I’d teach more about the power of love.
