BESIDE THE STILL WATERS



The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makeketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteouness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

~PSALM 23~







Bless me, Heavenly Father, forgive my erring ways,

Grant me strength to serve Thee, put purpose to my days

Give me understanding, enough to make me kind

So I may Judge all People with my heart and not my mind.

And teach me to be patient in everything I do,

Content to trust Your Wisdom and follow after You

And Help me when I falter and hear me when I pray

And recieve me in Thy Kingdom to dwell with Thee someday.

It's not the things that can be bought
that are life's richest treasure,
It's just the little
"heart gifts"
That money cannot measure.
A cheerful smile, a friendly word,
a sympathetic nod
Are priceless little treasures
from the storehouse
of our God
They are the things that can't be bought
with silver or with gold,
For thoughtfulness and Kindness
and love are never sold.
They are the priceless things in life
for which no one can pay,
And the giver finds rich recompense
In Giving them away

A CHILD'S FAITH
"Jesus loves me, this I know,
for the BIBLE tells me so"
Little children ask no more,
For love is all they're looking for.
And in a small child's shining eyes
The FAITH of all the ages lies-
And tiny hands and tousled heads
That kneel in prayer by little beds
Are closer to the dear Lord's heart
And of His Kingdom more a part
Than we who search, and never find,
The answers to our questioning mind
For FAITH in things we cannot see
Requires a child's simplictiy
For, lost in life's complexiities.
We drift upon uncharted seas
And slowly FAITH disintegrates
While wealth and power accumulates-
And the more man learns, the less he knows,
and the more involved his thinking grows
and , in his arrogance and pride,
No longer is man satisfied
To place his confidence and love
With childlike FAITH in God above-
Oh, Father, grant once more to men
A simple childlike FAITH again
And, with a small child's Trusting eyes,
May all men come to realize
That Faith alone can save man's soul
And lead him to a higher goal.
