A Sacred Trust







We have entered a sacred trust
That blesses us from within
Much is expected of us
May we ever stand with Him
“He that is not with me is against me” (Matthew
12:30)

Kindness, Charity, and Love





Exercise what you now hold
With kindness, charity, and love
In meekness faith becomes bold
To call down power from above

Giving Mother Credit on Mother's Day

https://youtu.be/kr9yvt-S9-I.

Mother did what she could
To bring about the good.

She taught me how to face
Life's hardest trials with faith.

Her example did tell
To suffer through and smile.

So, to endure it well,
Out of love, all the while

Heavenly Father Looks Out For Us

Heavenly Father looks out for us
When to strange lands we go
Familiar is found midst what's foreign
Ever God's hand does show

A Place to GO

We always have a place to go
To feel welcomed and at home
For acceptance to learn and grow
Church gives us reason to hope

Pit Stops

Life is full of pit stops
To unload, stretch, and restore
Still, the Sabbath is the tops
To prepare for what's in store

Make your plans

Make your plans strong
And work ahead
Good things come along
In Christ, we're lead

Breathe


A painting by Robert T. Barrett depicting Christ in white and red robes, standing on the water and reaching out to Peter, who is sinking.
Christ Walking on the Water, by Robert T. Barrett; GAK 243; Primary manual 7-17; Matthew 14:22–33; Mark 6:45-51
With rising pressures, I was swirling in fear
Falling, drowning, and gasping for air
I did not think that help could appear
And I doubted anyone would care

THEN

A bright thought came. It buoyed me up
I was a child running and free!
Smiling, soon to be encircled in love
Within God's arms waiting for me

That thought alone reached into my heart
And brought me back to a cherished place
Where I could think, freely, out of harm
And deeply breathe in God's warm embrace

Here's a great read if you need to settle down and breathe:
