In Christ We Have

Posted by: bigguyhereagain <bigguyhereagain@...>

*** In Christ We Have ***

A love that can never be fathomed,
A life that can never die,
A righteousness that can never be tarnished,
A peace that can never be understood,
A rest that can never be disturbed,
A joy that can never be diminished,
A hope that can never be disappointed,
A glory that can never be clouded,
A light that can never be darkened,
A purity that can never be defiled,
A beauty that can never be marred,
A wisdom that can never be baffled,
Resources that can never be exhausted.
Jesus is our all in all!

*** IF ***
 
If nobody smiled
and nobody cared
and nobody helped us along.
 
If every moment
looked after itself and
good things always
went to the strong;
 
If nobody thought
just a little about you
and nobody cared about me,
and we stood all alone,
in the battle of life,
 
What a dreary old world
this would be.
 
Life is sweet, just because,
of friends we have made and
the things which in common we share.
 
We want to live on,
not because of ourselves,
but because of the people who care.
 
It is doing and giving
for somebody else
on which all of life's splendor depends.
 
The joy of this world,
when you've summed it all up
is found in the making of friends.

*** At Your Side ***
When the daylight's gone and you're on your own
And you need a friend, just to be around
I will comfort you, I will take your hand,
I will pull you through, I will understand.
 
I'll be at your side,
There's no need to worry,
Together we'll survive,
Through the haste and hurry.
  
I'll be at your side, if you feel like you're alone,
And you've nowhere to turn.
If life's standing still, and your soul's confused,
And you cannot find what road to choose,
 
If you make mistakes you can't let me down,
I will still believe, I won't turn around.

*** Guessing Game ***

Try to name the 5 wealthiest people in the world. Name the last 5 winners of
the Miss America competition. Name 10 people who have won the Nobel or
Pulitzer Prize.

Now, name 3 friends who have helped you through a difficult time. Name 5
people who have taught you something worthwhile. Think of a few people who
have made you feel appreciated and special.
The people you'll never forget are not the ones with the most credentials,
the most money or the most awards. The people who make a difference in your
life are the ones who care. And they will live forever.

*** Smile ***

She smiled at a sorrowful stranger.
The smile seemed to make him feel better.
He remembered past kindnesses of a friend
and wrote him a thank-you letter.

The friend was so pleased with the thank-you
That he left a large tip after lunch.
The waitress, surprised by the size of the tip,
bet the whole thing on a hunch.
The next day she picked up her winnings,
and gave part to a man on the street.

The man on the street was grateful;
for two days he’d had nothing to eat.
After he finished his dinner,
He left for his small dingy room.
(He didn’t know at that moment
that he might be facing his doom.)
On the way he picked up a shivering puppy
and took him home to get warm.

The puppy was very grateful
To be in out of the storm.
That night the house caught on fire
The puppy barked the alarm.
He barked ‘til he woke the whole household
and saved everybody from harm.

One of the boys that was rescued
grew up to be president.
All this because of a simple smile
that hadn’t cost a cent.

 
Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
