I look out of my window at the breathtaking beauty of a new day......
My heart begins to fill with a genuine feeling of pure happiness
For I realize how blessed I really am in so many wonderful ways
A feeling of wholesome gratitude enlightens my spirit to its best.
*******************************************************************************
I look at all of the great things that God has provided, both large and small
And he has taught my heart the things that really matter the most in the end
Living a true life based on kindness and his amazing love through it all
Knowing he'll always be there: my light, my Father, my friend.
********************************************************************************
Sometimes my perception may become clouded by life's ever changing state
I cannot see through the window of my heart the true beauty any more
That's when my Father comes in with tender care and concern to motivate
and reveal his perfect love and presence so strongly on my journey's shore.
**************************************************************************************
He shows me how important I am and the purpose I have to fulfill
But, I must promise with my heart that I'll never give up or give in
Living a meaningful life with a hopeful heart is my Father's great will
At that point is where faith, true thankfulness, and gratitude surely begin.

Words That Transform



Lord:
One word can be like an instrument of blessing from you
A seed planted in my heart from your hands to do great things
But the true choice is left to me if I will see it through
or choose much different words and watch the outcome that they bring.

Your words move mountains and transform lives in such a great way
They are positive, upbeat and so inspiring too
So I must pay attention to all of the words I say
Lord, I want to make a difference and glorify you.

Please wash me with your spirit and purify my words too
Let your great Majesty flow so powerfully in me
I want to be your wordsmith of wisdom in all I do
Let all my words reflect your great love so positively.

Amen.
The Precious Gift of Promise
Father:
There are so many imperfections in my heart so true
My spirit feels so broken like it has lost its way
Sometimes I feel discouraged and don't know what to do
I cry out to your heart to hear what you have to say.

You hear my cries and look down with a mercy so pure
and surround me with your presence in such a great way
You give me true mighty strength and courage to endure
Looking past it all to the promise for a new day.

The gift of promise is bestowed from your heart of grace
Even though I may not be able to see the plan
All imperfections are soon forgiven and replaced
In me, you see a brand new vessel within your hands.

Amen.
The Beautiful Grace Of God


My Father:
I place my feet upon the path of my journey
Carefully taking steps with wonderment & care
Suddenly there are things that cloud my imagery
My heart soon fills with uncertainty and despair.

Just then, a beautiful bright light comes flowing in
Bringing comfort and love to which none can compare
An unbelievable work of favor begins
To show the great strength of your power everywhere.

Your beautiful grace is like a compass of hope
That gives me great strength and courage so perfectly
It is a sweet gift of love that helps me to cope
Father, let your sweet love and grace empower me.

Amen.

The Voyage Chronicles
The Continuing Story of Love's Greatest Gift


Segment Eighteen

***********************************
     Rick sat quietly and looked at the envelopes that he had been handed.  He wanted to set them to the side.  But, his family was watching with great interest.

     He slowly opened the first one.  Inside, he found an all expense paid ticket for a cruise to Europe.  He cautiously opened the other envelope.  There, he found a check for him and a voucher for a new wardrobe.

     Such gifts should have made him happy.  But, he seemed more annoyed.  How could they expect him to be the happy traveler when he felt so shattered?  What should he tell them?

The Port of Stability and Solid Ground



A heart that finds a stable foundation discovers a true journey
****************************************************
     Think about this statement for a moment.  If someone is trying to build something successful, what is a necessary tool that they must have?  The answer that would most perfectly fit that question is a solid foundation.

     It has to be something strong and durable that would outlast the rugged terrain of time.  It is awesome to envision the perfection of our Creator's plan.  He gave us the strong, powerful foundation of family for the journey.

     It is a beautiful stepping stone of promise and hope that empowers our travels.  But, there are other facts to also consider:  people who don't have or have lost family, and family that has broken apart.

     For people who don't have or have lost family, this is when God's provision and his great hand of mercy come forward in more abundance.  In provision for the willing heart, he brings forth people who are "like" family to totally fill the gap and void.

     This could include a wide range of people like very good friends, or church family which are always there for you.  Now, for the family that has broken apart, this is where God's hand of wonder takes control.

     The 'Great Potter' or 'Master Craftsman' can take that broken unit and make it more beautiful and stronger than before.  But, it takes that broken state to make a state of the art.  It is through the most willing heart that he can work his greatest task.

     So, once the foundation is secure, and stable there is support, inspiration and motivation for the journey.  It's like having your own personal 'pit crew' to enrich you to get prepared before the race.

     Let's take time to thank God for his unbelievable preparation and working power.  He is always interceding and moving.  All one has to do is have a willing heart and four simple words:  'thy will be done'.

     The family foundation is a beautiful gift and blessing from God's heart that will enlighten every step.
