JOY

"Let us go singing as far as we go.'  Vergil

To all upon my way, day after day, let my life be joy, be hope.  Let my life sing!  Mary Carolyn Divies

PEACE

He makes me lie down in green pastures.  He leads me beside still waters.  He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake.  Psalm 23:2,3

 

 

JOY

 

TRUST

God, the one and only--I'll wait as long as he says.  Everything I need comes from him...He's solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul.  Psalm 62:1-2

HOPE

We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go.  It's an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us.  Hebrews 6:18-20

TRUST

Yes, he alone is my Rock, my rescuer, defense and fortress.  Why then should I be tense with fear when troubles come?  Psalm 62:2 TLB

 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20

JOY

Finish each day and be done with it.  You have done what you could...tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be combered with your old nonsense.  This is all that is good and fair.  It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.  Ralph Waldo emerson

FAITH

In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. Through us, he brings knowledge of Christ. Everywhere we go, people breathe in the exquisite fragrance. Because of Christ, we give off a sweet scent rising to God, which is recognized by those on the way of salvation--an aroma redolent with life. 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 The Message

PEACE

                                                  If only I may grow: firmer, simpler, quieter, warmer.  
                                                   Dag Hammerskjold

LOVE

Someone really needs that song that's in your heart right
now. Please don't let it go unsung.

TRUST

I saw God before me for all time. Nothing can shake me; he's right by my side. I'm glad from the inside out, ecstatic; I've p[itched my tent in the land of hope... You've got my feet on the life path, with your face shining sun-joy all around. Acts 2:25-28

TRUST

Where you are right now is God's place for you. Live and obey and love and believe right there. I Corinthians 7:17

I have never beeen a millionaire, but I have enjoyed a great meal, a crackling fire, a glorious sunset, a walk with a friend, a hug from a child, a cup of soup, a kiss behind the ear. There are plenty of life's tiny delights for all of us. Jack Anthony

BLESSING

Your blessed when you care. At the moment of being
"care-ful," you find yourselves cared for. You're blessed when you get
your inside world--your mind and heart-- put right. Then you can see God
in the outside world. Mattthew 5:7-8

PRAISE

Now to him who can keep you on your feet, standing tall in his bright presence, fresh and celebrating--to our one God, our only Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Master, be glory, majesty, strength, and rule before all time, and now, and to the end of all time. Jude 1:24-25

INSPIRATION

Each Christmas we all have that longing to get away from the hustle and bustle of the holidays to go deeper with our Savior than ever before. The book by Walter Wangerin, IN THE DAYS OF THE ANGELS has been that inspiration for me. I long for you to have that experience too. It can be ordered from Amazon.  Kay
