PRECIOUS THOUGHTS!

 Hello my dear friends,

another year as about gone,

I miss my deceased wife,

since she was called home.

I could not have walked on,

walked this road called life,

without my Heavenly Father,

and my family and friends;

this old road has steep hills

and winding bends,

so I lift my eyes,

and direct my hearts thoughts,

more thoughts toward Heaven.

I keep watching the clouds,

for my Savior to call me;

His name is Jesus,

He is coming to take,

take us to our heavenly home.

Heaven, a everlasting home,

a home without sin, pain and strife;

where there is neither day or night.

With God's glory, wonderful glory,

shinning so bright,

there is no need for the sun,

the sun in the day,

and moon and stars at night.

Thank you Jesus,

 for saving our souls,

and giving us white robes,

then as we gather around,

yes, gather around God's throne;

Safely, yes, safely home,

home with Jesus,

never more to roam!

WORDS TO LIVE BY!

 Psalm 119:1-15

119 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.

13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

A FAVORITE OF MINE!

Philippians 4:6-9 King James Version 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
