"He Will Carry You" By Lynda Randle

Song From The Heart

Somewhere along this Christian road of life,
I got to using days for just my chores;
You know, the little odds and ends we do,
Like laundry, ironing, sewing. cleaning drawers.

I sang my song with lilting quality,
Hardly giving anything a care,
For I just knew that I had some need,
When I got home, my loved one would be there.

God took that one. And in my lonely heart,
He poured His special peace, His tender love;
I cannot doubt that God has drawn me near
To trust Him more until I'm drawn above.

God's mercy grows. My life has known new gain;
My song is now another melody;
I trusted Him, I now rejoice in Him;
I'm in His keeping---and shall ever be!

My Favorite Quotes

Nature gave men two ends - one to sit on and one to think with.  Ever since then man's success or failure has been dependent on the one he used most.  ~George R. Kirkpatrick

Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak.  Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go.  ~Author Unknown

Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.  ~Robert Frost

Favorite Bible Verses

Psalm 149

Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment
 1 Praise the LORD!
        
         Sing to the LORD a new song,
         And His praise in the assembly of saints.
        
 2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
         Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
 3 Let them praise His name with the dance;
         Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
 4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;
         He will beautify the humble with salvation.
        
 5 Let the saints be joyful in glory;
         Let them sing aloud on their beds.
 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
         And a two-edged sword in their hand,
 7 To execute vengeance on the nations,
         And punishments on the peoples;
 8 To bind their kings with chains,
         And their nobles with fetters of iron;
 9 To execute on them the written judgment—
         This honor have all His saints.
        
         Praise the LORD!

Oh Bear

  Oh, bear where do you roam?
  into my garbage,
  when I am not home!
  Oh, bear where do you roam?
  down in the valley,
  to close to my home!
  Oh, bear where do you roam?
  stay out of my garbage,
  and away from my home!

Blessings!

 Blessings from above
           Sunshine, sunshine beaming down, warming the seeds, planted in the ground. Rain drops, rain drops bouncing on the road, bringing much needed moisture, to the seeds that are sowed. Moon beams, moon beams giving soft light, to show us natures beauty at night. Stars, stars twinkling far above, reminds me of diamonds, a symbol of love. God's Son sent from above, bringing grace and love; giving us salvation from sin, if we open our hearts and invite Him to come in. 

Favorite Psalms


Psalm 139

 1O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
 2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
 3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
 4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
 5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
 7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
 8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
 9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
 10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
 11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
 12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
 13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
 14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
 15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
 16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
 17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
 18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
 19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
 20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
 21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
 22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
 23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
 24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
