The Messenger
The Holy Alphabet...
Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue on thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of “Camp Complaining”
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To “thank” is a command
Until we see Him coming
“I AM Too blessed
to be stressed!”
The shortest distance
between a problem
and a solution is the
distance between
your knees and the
floor.
The one who kneels
to the Lord can stand
up to anything.
Love and peace
be with you
Victorious in the sky
We’ll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
forever,
Amen.
Yes, there’ll be good times and yes some will be bad, but…
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!
