Spring Rain

How blessed all those in whom You live,
      whose lives become roads You travel;
   They wind through lonesome valleys, 

come upon brooks,
      discover cool springs 

and pools brimming with rain!
   God-traveled, 

these roads curve up the mountain, 

and at the last turn—Zion! 

God in full view! 

Psalm 84:5-7 Message

He Is Near

Just when I need Him

Jesus is near,

Just when I falter

Just when I fear.

Ready to help me,

Ready to cheer,

Just when I need Him most.

Just when I need Him

Jesus is strong,

Bearing my burdens

All the day long.

For all my sorrow,

giving a song

Just when I need Him most.

Charles Gabriel

This day is holy to our Lord.

Do not grieve, 

for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Nehemiah 8:10

Lesson Learned?

A Mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3-years-old. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw an opportunity to teach a lesson.

She said, "If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'

Kevin turned to his younger brother and sweetly asked, "Ryan, would you like to be Jesus!"

Trust

My granddaughter was memorizing Proverbs 3:5-6. She wondered what this means:"In all your ways acknowledge God". 

We talked about how our Heavenly Father is honored when we take time to notice all the good things He sends our way, and stop to give Him thanks. Even when trials come, He will guide us with His eye, for He alone knows the plans He has for us.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.

Prayer

Hear my cry, O God.

Attend unto my prayer.

From the ends of the earth

will I cry unto Thee

when my heart is overwhelmed:

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For Thou hast been a shelter for me

and a strong tower from the enemy.

I will abide in Thy tabernacle forever.

I will trust in the covert of Thy wings. Selah.

Psalm 61:1-4
