Blessings Flow

Blessings flow freely
All thru my life.
Blessings in joy
And also thru strife.
How could I grumble?
Why would I complain?
So I would not stumble,
Jesus was slain.
For God in His Love
And Mercy for me,
Sent His Son to die...
From sin set me free.
Forgiveness, salvation
He gave thru His death.
Blessings flow freely
With every breath.

To Become A Christian

Quotes to Remember
Sometimes it's the smallest things that take up the most room in your heart.
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. –Mother Teresa
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, nor sun without rain, but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Embrace Your Dreams, Follow Your Heart, Cherish Your Life.
Sometimes God calms the storm... Sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms His child.
With food on our table and friends at our door, We know we have much to be thankful for.
In a world where you can be anything... Be Yourself.
Family...The Ones you Live with, Laugh with, Love.
May our home always be too small to hold all our family and friends.
We can’t all be stars… but we can all twinkle.
Dream as if you’ll live forever, Live as if you only have today.

I Refuse To Be Discouraged

I refuse to be discouraged,
To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted,
and here's the reason why...
I have a God who's mighty,
Who's sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who loves me,
and I am on His team.
He is all wise and powerful,
Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable,
My God remains the same.
My God knows all that's happening;
Beginning to the end,
His presence is my comfort,
He is my dearest friend.
When sickness comes to weaken me,
To bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God;
Into His arms I go.
When circumstances threaten
to rob me from my peace;
He draws me close unto His breast,
Where all my strivings cease.
And when my heart melts within me,
and weakness takes control;
He gathers me into His arms,
He soothes my heart and soul.
The great "I AM" is with me,
My life is in His hand,
The "Son of the Lord" is my hope,
It's in His strength I stand.
I refuse to be defeated,
My eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me,
as through this life I trod.
I'm looking past all my circumstances,
To Heaven's throne above;
My prayers have reached
the heart of God,
I'm resting in His love.
I give God thanks in everything,
My eyes are on His face;
The battle's His, the victory is mine;
He'll help me win the race.

Are You Blessed?
Author: Unknown
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness..........you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation.......you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace....... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married........you are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful.....you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you prayed yesterday and today........you are in the minority because you believe God does hear and answer prayers.
If you can read now, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
