Journey of life is what you're taking
Only yourself hat the power to move in
Innocent mind will help you to see what is right
Engrave your heart with God's power and might
Shalom is always there in your walk
Take your time to finish one chapter of book
Hidden treasures are there along your way
Entire happiness is the prize for those who pray
Re-"joies" in the eyes of God and don't go astray

Throw your smile around the place
Angel touch from above will give a blaze
Bring to life all your dreams
Allow your spirit to be navigate by HIM
Never give-up yourself in the struggle
Go for glory, take courage in your travel

Hatred that sorrounds you must be put in the grave
Act who you are and keep his word to make you brave
Leave a sweet memory in every place you've been
One God, one love is there for you to lean
Grow richly with HIS blessings and see the unseen.


FRIENDSHIP
This poem is given to me by my cyber friend Rehan:


To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a studentwho failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask aperson who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, askthe person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because youshared it with someone special, special enoughto spend your time. Andremember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. That's whyit's called the present!!
It's National Friendship Week. Friends are avery rare jewel indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear,they open their heart to us.
Show your friends how much you care..... Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If
it comes back to you,then you'll know you have a circle of friends.


He Knows…

Whew! That was a serious test;
Glad its been put to rest.
I almost gave in - my weakness shows;
I'm sure nobody knows.

What's this? Oh no, not again!
How many times will I give in
Well, its not that bad - as bad goes;
I'm just glad nobody knows.

Wow … how did I sink so fast?
Never thought that want would last.
It's hopeless. My craving grows.
I'm hoping that nobody knows.

Please stop - I need to crash;
My life is spinning way too fast -
Buffeted by the wind that blows;
Still, I'm pretty sure nobody knows.

I can't … I can't keep lying.
I'm so messed up. Inside I'm dying
What worse, about this life I chose -
I now see clearly Someone knows.

My God! The Lord! He knows…
He knows … He know…



Heavens Grocery Store

I was walking down life's highway along time ago
One day, I saw a sign that read, "Heaven's Grocery Store"
As I got a little closer, the door open wide
And when I came to myself, I was standing inside
I saw a host of angels standing everywhere
One handed a basket and said " My child, shop with care"
Everything a Christian needed was in the Grocery store
And those you could not carry, you can come back for more next day
First, I got patience and love in the same row
Further down was understanding, you feel that everywhere you go
I got a box of two wisdom, a bag of two of faith
And the wonderful Holy Spirit was all over the place
I stopped to get some strength and courage to help me run the race
But then my basket was full
I didn't forget salvation, for salvation was rich and free
So I tried to get enough of that to save you & me
Then I started for the counter to pay for the grocery bill
For I thought I had everything to do my Master's will
As I went to the aisle, I saw prayer, I sent that on
For I know when I stopped outside I would run into sin
Peace and joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf
Then I said to the angel, "How how much do I owe?"
Then he just smiled and said "How much do I owe?
The angel smiled again and said,
My child, JESUS paid your bill a long time ago.



I Know Who Hold Tomorrow...
By: Ira Stanphil

I don't know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don't borrow from its sunshine
I don't worry over the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today I'll walk beside Him
For he knows what is ahead many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand;
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand

I don't know about tomorrow
It may bring me poverty
But the one who feeds the sparrow
Is the one who stands by me
And the path that my portion
May be through the flame/flood
But his presence goes before me
And I'm covered with his blood
Many thins about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand but I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand


No Time

I knelt to pray but not for long
I had too much to do
Must hurry off and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

And so I said a hurried prayer
Jumped up from my knees
My Christian duty was done
My soul could be at ease

All through the day I had no time
To speak a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me and feared
No time … no time … too much to do
That was my constant cry.

And when before the Lord I came
I stood with downcast eyes
Within His hand He held a book
It was the book of life.

He looked into the book and said,
"Your name I cannot find,
I was going to write it down
but never found a time"
