Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
There will always be sunshine after the rain.
Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall,
But God’s always ready to answer your call.
He knows every heartache, sees every tear,
A word from His lips can calm every fear.
Your sorrows may linger throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish at dawn‘s early light.
The Savior is waiting somewhere above
To give you His grace and send you His love.
Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
God always sends rainbows after the rain.

Your Cross
You say you will never forget where you were
when you heard the news on
September 11, 2001.
Neither will I...
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled
room with a man who called his wife to say
"Good-bye." I held his fingers steady as he
dialed. I gave him the peace to say,
"Honey, I am not going to make it,
but it is OK...I am ready to go."
I was with his wife when he called as she
fed breakfast to their children. I held her up
as she tried to understand his words and as..........

$20 Dollar Bill
A well-known speaker started off his seminar
by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked..............
"Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you
but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, ''Who still wants It?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground
And started to grind it Into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.........
Thanks for visiting!
And have a great and blessed day!
Sometimes life seems hard to bear, full of sorrow, troubles and woe. Its then I have to remember that it’s in the valleys I grow If I always stayed on the mountain top and never experienced pain, I never would have appreciated God's love and would be living life in vain. I have so much to learn and my growth is very slow, sometimes I need the mountain tops, but it’s in the valleys I grow.
I do not always understand why things happen as they do, but I am very sure of one thing, my Lord will see me through My little valleys are nothing when I picture Christ on the cross. He went through the valley of death, His victory was Satan's loss. Forgive me Lord for complaining,

The Old Paths
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE. They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: TODAY MY BEST...…...

Friends
I wonder what I would have done,
Had I been there in that crowd;
Would I have spoken up for Him,
In a voice clear and loud?
Would I have walked beside Him,
Down that dirty, rock-strewn road?
Would I have tried to steady Him,
As He stumbled with His load?
Would I have let Him lean against me?
Would I have gladly borne his weight?
Could I have helped in anyway,
To ease His great heartache?
Could I have said the proper words..........

The Spoon
A pastor had dinner at the home of a couple in his church. After he left, the wife said to the husband, “I think he stole our spoon!” This bothered her for a whole year.
A year later the couple had the pastor for dinner again. Unable to resist, the wife asked, “Did you steal our spoon last year?” The pastor replied, “No, I put it inside your Bible.”.........

The Best Day Of My Life
Happy Labor Day ........
Monday September 7
Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever! There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did! And because I did I'm going to celebrate!
Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make me stronger.
I will go through this day with my head held high, and a happy heart. I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts: the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds. Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice. Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people. I’ll make someone smile..........
I like the “Old Paths”, when Moms were at home.
Dads were at work. Brothers went into the army.
And sisters got married BEFORE having children!
Crime did not pay; Hard work did; And people knew the difference. Moms could cook; Dads would work; Children would behave.Husbands were loving; Wives were supportive; And children were polite.Women wore the jewelry; And Men wore the pants. Women looked like ladies; Men looked like gentlemen; And children looked decent. People loved the truth, And hated a lie;
They came to church to get IN, Not to get OUT!
Hymns sounded Godly; Sermons sounded...........
