MORE THAN ENOUGH
I pray and I pray
“Lord, give me strength!”
All He did
was infuse me
with His love.
Thank you!

It is cold in my sanctuary this morning
But so vast a choir sings so sweetly
That my heart is warmed
And my spirit renewed.

My home is the sun shining down on me
And filling my soul
With light.
My home is a song,
An echo from heaven
Which gives my spirit wings.
My home has neither roof nor walls.
It is your hand holding me close.
I sing.
I smile.
I soar.

I remember a company I worked for and was blessed to do so for many years. BUT On rainy, gloomy days it seemed as if when one wore black and came in grumpy, soon the entire office was disagreeable and it was doubtful many were aware of this, nor had a good reason why. What a change a slight bit of effort to bless one another surely would have made!

If we know the truth of the following words and that they apply to each of us created in His image, AS WE ARE, why must the hate continue to defeat love? Where is peace?
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well. -Psalm 139:14
