It can't be bought for money
or sold like precious gold.
And all who have possessed it
have found it hard to hold.
It's Source is everlasting
like moonlight in the soul,
It generates a power
to comfort and console.
Unseen, it seems to blossom
upon the human vine,
like roses in a garden;
so fragile, yet divine.
We need not understand it,
for it's a sacred thing.
Rejoice if you have found it,
the soul's eternal spring.

Have a safe and blessed weekend, Folks,

"If any of you says to him, 'Go, I wish you well; keep
warm and well fed; but does nothing about his
physical needs, what good is it?"
James 2:16
God, help us to behold ourselves
Not by our brightest star
As we may seem to others now
But as we really are.
Help us to analyze our worth
With thinking that is sound
And so be certain that we keep
Our feet upon the ground.
And thereby never to forget
That all great deeds we do
And every claim we have to fame
belong at last to You.
There is no problem on this earth
That we could ever face
Or any dream that could come true
Without Your loving grace.
So help us, God, to serve You well
And draw a little nearer
As humbly we appraise ourselves
When we look into a mirror.

The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
O grant us faith, dear God of grace,
that strengthens and sustains,
A faith that reigns triumphantly
Through all our earthly pains.
Grant comfort that reveals Thy love,
Console our hearts, we pray;
God, wipe our tears, and courage give
to walk in hope each day.
O grant us peace, dear God of grace,
Peace Thou alone canst give;
That we may rest our souls in Thee,
And in Thy sweetness live.

Whatever the need in the sorrowing heart,
Such groanings of spirit defend their own part.
When thoughts are unsettled and teaming with fear,
and grieving moods plagiar the mind of its cheer;
When self would abandon its faith, in the night,
The Sentry of mercy is armed for the fight.
An Indwelling Presence moves into control;
From pain in the spirit comes peace in the soul.
