The site was soooooo...
Pleasant to my eyes,
    Encouraging to my soul,
      Inspiring to my spirit
        That in Christ, I shall be bold!
I choose to remember, that it's always worth the press;
And when I find that no matter how hard I tried
    I've still made a mess...
      If God could use that fallible Bible Hall of Fame,
        Surely He can continue to use me,
          For I will not be ashamed!
        I will keep running with the vision,
      And I'll run with all my heart.
   For I'm encouraged that God will yet reward my labor,
No matter how pitiful it seems, my start.

Splendor of Grace

Come,
Sit with Me in the light.
Let My presence
Overshadow you.

Relax,
Let the beauty I created
Saturate your senses
And infuse your soul with hope.

Feast your eyes,
On the exquisite colors,
Vibrant yellow, deep scarlet, lush green.
Watch, sunlight skip across the scene
Transforming the hue.

Listen,
You will hear My voice in the cool breeze.
Hear Me serenade you with the melodies of nature.

Linger, here with Me.
I want you to explore the depth of My love.
I desire to impart treasures of grace to you.

Soak,
In this peace.
Drink,
Of My presence.

When you go,
Bring to them the song I sing.
Let them see in you the colors of My love.
Let them feel the beauty of My touch.
Transform the world with My light,
Reveal the splendors of My grace.

Taste and see that the LORD is good.
Oh, the joys of those who trust in Him! Psalm 34:8

SUNSHINE DAYS AND TEARS
1988 Joan Morrone

Sunshine days are happy days but they don’t always last.

They give way to doubt and fears;
The tears begin to flow.
You cry awhile and then you laugh
And quiet days appear.
You are up then down you go
into the valley low.
But down don’t last; soon it is past---
The sun is soon aglow.

Sunshine days within your soul can last
A long, long time
When JESUS shines his light on you,
Darkness disappears.

Keep looking at his bright face;
Keep looking at his life.
Keep looking at his wondrous life
And know that Jesus hears.
When the dark clouds come your way,
He’ll wipe away your tears.

SMILE AND BE HAPPY

THESE ARE SUNSHINE DAYS AND TEARS.

Ecclesiastes
“A time to weep, and
a time to laugh.”
