My mom and dad don’t go to church enough,
But my Sunday School teacher picks me up.
She’s a perty lady and she smells so nice.
And when we talk, she gives me good advice.

A wonder of the Lord
This flower is to me.
My mirror is the rose;
In it, myself I see.

Dawn arrives,
illuminates,
alleviates
darkness in the depths of my soul.

We often find ourselves reaching for something, anything, that will numb our pain, provide an answer or give us hope.  Yet in our quest, we realize that nothing and no one offers the comfort we are seeking. It must come from the One who lives inside, who never disappoints and whose power is always available to us. May we reach for His hand of grace.

I cannot see what is ahead.
Feel frozen, paralyzed with fear.
How will I know which way to go?
As doubts and questions overwhelm,
I feel the future is not clear.

Her countenance is bitter cold,
As chilly as a winter’s day.
Expresses anger openly
And pushes ev’ryone away.

I’ve lived it up both day and night
And yet find mem’ries haunting me.
Think back to Dad and how I left.
I wonder if he thinks of me.

As clouds impose and hide the sun,
The sky releases droplets fine.
I reach for my Umbrella true.
He shelters tender soul of mine.

I’m standing tall with vibrant bloom.
My Gardener delights in me.
Bestows sweet scent beyond perfume
And cares for me so tenderly.

The Breeze that gently blows and moves –
He ministers with love and grace.
The Wind that rushes with great force –
Its gusts blow through and leaves its trace.

False accusations spreading rampantly

yet I did nothing wrong.

I know what lies ahead

suffering, anguish, torture.

I plead for strength to endure.

Oh Father, please!

In the difficult times in life
When I don’t know what to do,
May I not try it on my own.
May I always remember You.

I loved You with my all
And let You rule in my heart.
As I embraced Your love for me,
Had faith in what I could not see,
I served You from the very start.

Examining His paths – like vines,
They twist and turn and wind about.
Although I try, I find it is
Impossible to trace them out.

Oh, to escape the daily grind,
And yet right now that cannot be.
I’ll close my eyes and use my mind
To dream of what I long to see.

Published 06/22/2009 - 7:47 a.m. CST

Though trials come and grip your heart,
Don’t worry what to do.
My loving guidance I’ll impart.
I’ve blazed a trial for you.
