God's love endureth forever ---

What a wonderful thing to know

When the tides of life run against you

And your spirit is downcast and low.

God's kindness is ever around you,

Always ready to freely impart

Strength to your faltering spirit,

Cheer to your lonely heart.

God's presence is ever beside you,

As near as the reach of your hand,

You have but to tell Him your troubles,

There is nothing He won't understand

So wait with a heart that is patient

For the goodness of God to prevail --

For never do prayers go unanswered,

And His mercy and love never fail.

~ Helen Steiner Rice ~

God gives us a power we so seldom employ

For we're so unaware it is filled with such joy

And the gift that God gives us is anticipation

Which we can fulfill with sincere expectation

For there's power in belief when we think we will find

Joy for the heart and sweet peace for the mind.

Just believing the day will bring a surprise

Is not only pleasant but surprisingly wise.

For we open the door to let joy walk through

When we learn to expect the best and most too

And believing we'll find a happy surprise

Makes reality out of a fancied surmise!

God, teach me to be patient ---

Teach me how to "wait on You"

When my way I do not know.

Teach me sweet forbearance

When things do not go right

So I remain unruffled

When others grow uptight.

Teach me how to quiet

My racing, rising heart

So I may hear the answer

You are trying to impart.

Teach me to let go, dear God,

And pray undisturbed until

My heart is filled with inner peace

And I learn to know Your will!

~ Helen Steiner Rice ~

In this troubled world

it's refreshing to find

Someone who still has

the time to be kind,

Someone who still has

the faith to believe

That the more you give

the more you receive,

Someone who's ready

by thought, word, or deed

To reach out a hand

in the hour of need.

~ Helen Steiner Rice ~

I know that there is nothing better for men

than to be happy and do good while they live.

That everyone may eat and drink, and find

satisfaction in all his toil - - - this is the gift of

God.

Ecclesiasstes 3: 12 - 13

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the

Lord, and to sing praises unto Thy name.

O most High:

To show forth Thy lovingkindness in the

morning, and Thy faithfulness every night,

Deutronomy 6:5

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God

with all thine heart, and

with all thy soul, and

with all thy might.

' With All of My Heart '
