because God loves me

i can love those who love me not.
i can smile, find joy in my lot.
i live and i learn and i laugh;
because God loves me,
i can love, i can love.

a blessed rest

it is a Sabbath day where i am. another day of blessed rest for the people the Lord has chosen for Himself.

i have come to realize the true worth of the Sabbath for all of us who continue to fight the battles of the world. God is truly good. He made the Sabbath for us so we can rest from our labors and cares, so we can dedicate our hearts and minds to the praise and worship that not only are due Him but also are refreshing for our weary souls.

it has been some time since i was last here. and i find this return a truly wonderful experience, especially because i came back on a Sabbath. God is revealing to me the wonders of His rest, at a time when i am troubled and shaken.

may all of us who have come to know this rest be continually blessed by it. may we keep it sacred within us, and may we eagerly await its return week after week. and may we be able to share this rest to those who have not yet known the miracles it works in human hearts.

a blessed rest to us all.

A Little Prayer

Lord,

Shower us with Your light,
Make us ready for Your kingdom.
Pour upon us Your mercy,
That we may know the grace of Your pardon.
Let Your love flow through us,
Make us instruments of Your peace.
Shower us with Your light,
That we may live as Your children.
