And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task;
"Why doesn't God help me?"
I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask."
But the day toiled on gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't seek."
I used all my keys in the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."
And paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray.
Don't wait for it to come to you,
Life is not a rehearsal!
what you get out of it,
Depends on how you play it
And die to find out there isn't,
Than live my life as if there isn't
And die to find out there is.
in the presence of God
unashamed.
you won't exist tomorrow.
When the alarm rings each morning,
Thank you, Lord, that I can hear.
There are many who are deaf.
Against the morning light as long as possible,
Thank you, Lord, that I can see.
There are many who are blind.
And put off the effort of rising,
Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedridden.
When socks are lost, toast is burned and tempers short,
Thank you, Lord, for my family.
There are many who are lonely.
The pictures in the magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced,
Thank you, Lord, for the food we have.
There are many who are hungry.
Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.
And wish my circumstances were not so modest,
Thank you, Lord, for the gift of life.
overshadow tomorrow's dreams!
Someday you will see the light.
All he asks is that you trust him,
Walk by faith and not by sight.
But their heart can stay true forever!
think the dancers mad.
Because so many never get the chance!
Receive, and remember!
no proof is necessary.
If you don't,
none is sufficient.
You lose one minute of happiness.
But the Quality that really matters.
Fame is man-given be thankful
Conceit is self-given be careful!!!
