Here is the Son of God, who in less than three years achieved far more than kings and generals had ever achieved in a thousand years, taking time out. Why? Well, He knew His needs and limitations – even He couldn’t work twenty-four hours a day seven days a week – and neither can we. But also He could have the confidence to do this because of His quiet, serene knowledge that His time was in His Father’s hands, that He wasn’t going to change the world by one endless round of activity, but by doing things in God’s time in God’s way.

~~ WHISPER JESUS ~~
 
Today I got a burden,
And I felt that I should pray,
For God's spirit seemed to tell me,
That you were having a bad day.
 
I don't know just what that problem is,
But I sure do know the cure,
And if you'll only let Him,
God will keep you safe and secure.
 
In life there's always problems,
Cropping up to spoil our day,
But my friend, you know the answer,
All you have to do, is "PRAY".
 
If you still feel you're defeated,
And you want to run and hide,
Just reach out, and I'll be there,
Standing right there by your side.
 
So remember-- WHISPER JESUS,
For He's just a prayer away,
He's so close that you can touch Him,
All you have to do, is "pray".

~~Greatness~~

A man is as great as the dreams he dreams,
As great as the love he bears,
As great as the values he redeems,
As the happiness he shares.
A man is as great as the thoughts he thinks,
As the worth he has attained,
As the fountains at which his spirits drink,
As the insight he has gained.
A man is as great as the truth he speaks,
As great as the help he gives,
As great as the destiny he seeks,
As great as the life he lives.

~~ After A While ~~
 
After a while you learn the subtle difference 
between holding a hand and chaining a soul, 
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning 
and company doesn't mean security, 

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts 
and presents aren't promises, 

And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up 
and your eyes open, with the grace of an  adult,

not the grief of a child, 
                 
And you learn to build your roads on today because
tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.
After a while you even learn that sunshine burns if you get  
too much.                                                 
                                                     
So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of  waiting for someone to bring you flowers
                         
And you learn that you really can endure. 
That you really are strong, 
And you really do have worth.
 
Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
