Life is too short
to dwell on my sorrows,
to harbour my grudges
in bitter tomorrows.
Life is too short
to dwell on my pain,
to play and replay
some vengeful refrain.
Life is too sweet
to waste precious minutes,
in nursing resentments,
self-righteousness in it.
Then, let me not dwell
On life's sorrow and sadness,
O Lord, let me think
of life's blessings, with gladness!

storm is, speak to the storm and tell it how BIG your God is."
Author unknown
Whenever I feel downhearted,
my spirit filled with doubt;
I light the candle in my heart,
and the darkness fades without.
My doubtful seeds are quickly replaced
with budding little flowers,
My heart turns into a fragrant garden,
filled with fresh and fervent prayers.
Each prayer which is spoken,
blossoms on the vine,
and my heart is opened to the Master's,
and with mine becomes intertwined.

Jesus, wonderful Shepherd and Guide,
You've been with me all of the way;
You've lived in my heart since I was a child,
and You are more precious today!
You sought me out,
a little lost lamb,
and gathered me into the fold,
and are still leading on at a gentler pace,
now that I'm growing old.
And I thank You, dear Lord,
for the rivers we've crossed,
that You never left me alone,
that Your beautiful Presence
grows sweeter each day on our way
to my Heavenly home!

Faith and Hope
If adversity is faced
with faith and with hope,
The problems we suffer
become smaller in scope.
If illness attacks,
we must pray for a cure,
Or the strength and the power
to quietly endure.
When the going gets rough,
and our troubles abound,
We must remember our Savior
is always around.
So, whatever the trials
or misfortune we bear,
They always seem lighter
When Our Lord is there.

A Second Chance
I might not have a second chance
So I'd better do today
The deeds that I've been thinking of
That would help one, in some way.
I'd better try to make amends
For thoughtless words of mine,
And right the wrong as best I can,
While there is precious time.
There may not be a second chance
For what I'd like to do,
So I'd better not procrastinate,
Then there's nothing left to rue.
The saddest words of tongue or pen,
That I can contemplate,
Are the words we often have to use,
I'm sorry, it's too late.
