Father.
Shine the sweet beauty of your radiant love
Like a reflection of hope so perfectly
and bless all my friends from Heaven above
Be the light of promise they'll need and see.

Walk by them with every step each day
Give them a mighty peace that fills their soul
Be the answer they search for in every way
Let your spirit make them complete and whole.
Give them the strength and courage to see them through
and happiness to fill their heart with delight
Help them to see there is nothing they can't do
For it is all in your hands and by your might.
Let them see that you have a great plan in store
They are truly talented beyond compare
They can reach for their heart's dream and so much more
Show them they're truly unique and that you care.
Father, bless my friends with happiness from your heart
May your love shine as a smile on their face
Help them to live life to the fullest from the start
Reach out to each one with your greatest embrace.
Amen

A Heart Of Thanksgiving
Father,
When I take time to reflect upon all that is around me,
Every beautiful thing that fills my life, large and small so true
My heart overflows with pure wonder and great humility
As I am in awe at the great blessings I receive from you.
I don't realize just how truly fortunate I have become,
Always looking for something more and so really unaware
Something so magnificent and miraculous has begun
You are already anointing my life with beauty and care.
You gave me a salvation that is a priceless gift of love
and an eternal bond with you that grows stronger every day
All the wonderful expressions of hope from Heaven above
It seems to bless each moment of my life in a special way.
I see it in the caring of a friend that is there for me,
and in the fellowship of family so faithful and true
It shines in the light of a strangers kindness so perfectly
There are blessings all around me in everything that I do.
Thank you Lord for blessing my life with your love so amazingly,
I am so grateful with a heart of thanksgiving for it all
But, the greatest of these blessings is having you there for me
and knowing that no matter what, you'll be there when I may call.

     Here is a very simple question.  When you go to a store to purchase something, do you make your decision based on what others say?  For example, let's say that you wanted to purchase a bicycle.  You found one that you really like.  Yet, someone told you that it is ugly.  Would you forget about it?

  Okay, let's take it to another level.  Suppose you purchased a sweater.  You really love and adore it.  Yet, you wear it to work and someone tells you that it's terrible.  Would you return it for a refund?

  During this hectic pathway that we walk, we need to take a step back and reflect upon our hearts.  God defined each one of us to be our own unique individuals.  If you do not know the Lord, please consider coming to know Him today.

  You are a beautiful masterpiece with your own gifts and talents and thoughts.  As a child of the most high God, everything you are is defined through Him.  You are loved and treasured more than you can imagine.

  So, don't let anyone define what you do or who you are.  Give your heart to the Lord and trust Him.  You will never be disappointed.

**************************************
If you do not know the Lord, please pray this prayer:  Father, my heart yearns to know more of You in every aspect of my life.  I want to be your child, and live for you.  Please forgive me for my sins and come into my life today.  Amen.
********************************************
God bless you all.
 

Lord..

You see the joy that fills my gentle heart,
and you are there to share in my delight
You enrich every moment from the start
and are my beautiful, eternal light.

You see the tears that sometime fall so true
and you are there to bring comfort to me
Your presence brings me hope in all I do
In you I find my great tranquility.
You are the essence of every new day
Every minute is filled in your great hands
I'll put my faith in you in every way
and follow your word and your great commands.
Help me to see things through your holy sight
and to listen and seek you with my love
For I can't do anything by my might
It all comes from your mighty heart above.
Let me be a beautiful light for you
and always keep my sight on your great plan
that I stay by your side my whole life through
and never worry about life's demands.
Lord, bless me and all of my friends out there
Help each one of their heart's to truly see
that they need not worry in your care
For you will be their guide so perfectly.
God bless

Please give me the clarity to see things as you do
I want to see the seeds that you planted in every way

My Father's Song..........
Lord, as I take my steps today
Help me to always clearly see
No matter what is my pathway
You are always right there with me...
You're my bright light that helps me see

A miracle starts to take place
A shadow matching mine is near
Amazing love soon fills each space...
