Title: Re: Area to post and keep together Post by: Tamikosmom on October 04, 2009, 03:00:10 PM Ephesians 3:14-21
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. ++++++ The Love Of God The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell It goes beyond the highest star And reaches to the lowest hell The guilty pair, bowed down with care God gave His Son to win His erring child He reconciled And pardoned from his sin Could we with ink the ocean fil And were the skies of parchment made Were every stalk on earth a quill And every man a scribe by trade To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry Nor could the scroll contain the whole Though stretched from sky to sky O love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure The saints' and angels' song Title: Re: Area to post and keep together Post by: Tamikosmom on October 05, 2009, 05:21:30 PM Artist: Mercyme
Song: The Love Of God Title: Re: Area to post and keep together Post by: Tamikosmom on October 11, 2009, 10:24:03 AM Deuteronomy 31:8
You, Lord, are the one who goes ahead of me; You will be with me. You will not fail me or forsake me. I will not fear, or be dismayed. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep me in perfect peace as I keep my mind stayed on You, because I trust in You. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. ________ You'll Never Walk Alone When you walk through a storm hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of the storm is a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain Though your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone. Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone... ++++++++ Title: Re: Area to post and keep together Post by: Tamikosmom on October 11, 2009, 10:25:41 AM Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. _______ YOU RAISE ME UP When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be; Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be. There is no life - no life without its hunger; Each restless heart beats so imperfectly; But when you come and I am filled with wonder, Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be. +++++++ Title: Re: Area to post and keep together Post by: Tamikosmom on October 11, 2009, 10:27:34 AM A MOTHER'S JOURNEY OF FAITH
In the Fall of 2007, a book authored by the mother of eighteen year old Natalee Holloway ... who went missing in Aruba during a graduation trip ... was released. Beth Holloway shares with readers the heartbreak, the frustration and the desperation in her ongoing journey to be a voice for her daughter until Aruban justice prevails. Beth also shares the sustaining faith that has given her courage to endure. +++++++ Loving Natalee: A Mother's Testament of Hope and Faith by Beth Holloway EXCERPT: Pages 230 - 232: I can't say for sure if we'll ever know that answer to whether my daughter is alive or not. I know it doesn't look good. But just as that old metal spiral staircase rose from the ashes when our lake house burned down, so too faith stands strong in the remains of this devastating loss. And just as my Dad built another house around that staircase, I will build another life around hope and faith. It won't ever be the same. But I pray that it will, at the very least, be useful. The hope that filled Natalee's heart fills mine, and I will press on. Faith got me up this morning, and faith will see me through tomorrow. And the next day. And the next. Without hope we are hungry. And on a very deep level, desperate. But no one has to be. What's so amazing is that we can feed each other. We can help each other. We have the power to give resilience to others who are fading. We can nourish each other's spirits and save one another from defeat and despair. Every one of us possesses this power to "love thy neighbor," and we need to use it every chance we get.

I was sure by now God You would have reached down And wiped our tears away Stepped in and saved the day But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining As the thunder rolls I barely hear Your whisper through the rain "I'm with you" And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives And takes away And I'll praise You in this storm And I will lift my hands For You are who You are No matter where I am And every tear I've cried You hold in Your hand You never left my side And though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry to you And you raised me up again My strength is almost gone How can I carry on If I can't find You But as the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain "I'm with you" And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives And takes away I lift my eyes unto the hills Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord The Maker of Heaven and Earth (Psalm 121:1-2) Title: Re: Area to post and keep together Post by: Nut44x4 on May 07, 2012, 06:19:13 AM Friends may think we have forgotten
When at times they see us smile. Little do they know the heartaches, That our smiles hide, all the while. Beautiful memories are wonderful things, That last 'till the longest day. They never wear out, they never get lost, And can never be given away. To some you may be forgotten, To others, a part of the past, But to those who love you and lost you, Your memory will always last. ****Author Unknown |
