it come true." Richard Bach

endless." Mother Teresa

Faith isn’t some long list of beliefs you have to go along with. Faith isn’t

a possession you have to check for constantly like your wallet to make sure

you still have it with you. Faith is more like a companion, a friend, a

steady voice reassuring you when you are anxious, cheering for you when you

are wavering, cautioning you when you are tempted, reviving you when you are

weary. Faith is that trust that no matter what might happen in the ups and

downs of life, you’re never facing all your trials alone. For the Lord

himself is the one whispering in your ear, holding your hand through the

dark nights of your grief and fears, and waiting with you in the morning

when joy rises like the sun.

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come." Og Mandino

Day is done.

Gone the sun.

From the lakes.

From the hills.

From the sky.

All is well.

Safely rest.

God is nigh.

Fading light.

Dims the sight.

And a star.

Gems the sky.

Gleaming bright.

From afar.

Drawing nigh.

Falls the night.

Thanks and praise.

For our days.

Neath the sun.

Neath the stars.

Neath the sky.

As we go.

God is nigh.

Ellicombe

thanks, Joe H.
