I may have a bad moment,
But never a bad day.
People seem to doubt its true,
My life can be this way.
But its true, believe or not,
Ill tell you what I do.
Strong I stand, for my beliefs,
I fight when I have to.
When and where the fight will be,
Im careful, how I choose.
I may not win every time,
But never, do I lose.
To lose requires surrender,
I bow down to no man.
I kneel before my Maker,
Thats part of His great plan.
I always pray for guidance,
I act on His advice.
He leads me on the venture,
Provides the right device.
By His Dear Grace Im thriving,
I have all that I need.
I thank Him for His Mercy,
He Blesses me indeed.
My fight may end tomorrow,
But only He, does know.
Ill bow my head, lift my hands,
Toward His Holy Glow.

Sorry that I didn't answer your posts yesterday.
As you probably know (I only mentined it a dozen times) I spent most of the day at the zoo with my 4 year old great-niece. We had a good family day and she had a ball. After petting some goats she thought she should get to pet all the animals.
After the zoo, we went to Applebees for dinner. By the time I got home, I was exhausted!!! I lay down at 7:00 for a short rest and didn't wake until midnight.
Thank you for stopping by yesterday and I hope you stop back by later today.
Happy Sunday to you all.

Good evening, Dixie.
This past week, it has been very difficult to wait until Sunday; I have been anxious to post today's Welcome Graphic.
CG's poem seemed special when I first read it; then combine it with Billie's sketch of President Bush and it seems the poem and the graphic belong together. Looking at the two of them, it's hard to tell which came first.
Thank you!!

Friendship Prayer
I got down on my knees today,
And said a prayer for you,
For you are always in my heart,
And I often think of you,
I asked the Lord to send his angels,
To protect my dearest friend,
I prayed that all the joy and happiness,
You have will never end,
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
When you are feeling blue,
And when you have a tear,
He'll wipe away that too,
I asked the Lord to bless our friendship,
So our ways will never part,
For true friends always stick together,
For we're in each others hearts.

Earth Is Enough
We men of Earth have here the stuff
Of Paradise - we have enough!
We need no other stones to build
The Temple of the Unfulfilled -
No other ivory for the doors -
No other marble for the floors -
No other cedar for the beam
And dome of man's immortal dream.
Here on the paths of every-day -
Here on the common human way
Is all the stuff the gods would take
To build a Heaven, to mold and make
New Edens. Ours is the stuff sublime
To build Eternity in time!

I Was Lifted Up On Angel's Wings
by WhtDove
I was lifted up on Angels' wings,
And through the Heavens soared.
When I came upon a brilliant light,
I found it was my Lord.
With hair like snow and eyes of fire,
I bowed before His feet.
In His presence it was hard to stand,
My sins felt like concrete.
Head hung in sorrow, tears filled my eyes.
My mouth, it couldn't speak.
My sins were overpowering me.
My soul, it just felt weak.
A gentle hand reached out to touch me,
A voice like thunder spoke.
The love He gave enveloped my soul,
My heart no longer broke.
He put His loving arms around me,
Such peace that I felt then.
I was quite content in knowing that,
He'd do it all again.
Our righteous acts are like filthy rags,
The Lord reminded me.
Come in unto Me my precious child,
For I can set you free.
I was lifted up on Angel's wings,
And through the Heavens soared.
I had been forgiven my sin and...
My soul had been restored.

HOLY VOICE MAIL
Voice Mail nowadays is a nuisance,
It's becoming too often routine,
But imagine if it was in Heaven!
If you will, try to picture the scene.
"Hello and We thank you for praying,
To continue, remain on your knees
And select from the following menu
Any one of the options you please.
"All our angels right now are quite busy,
Helping sinners who prayed before you,
So hang on and try to be patient,
You'll be glad that you did when you do.
"Press 1 if you're seeking forgiveness,
Press 2 if you're offering thanks,
Press 3 to do gripes and complaining;
Number 4's for agnostics and cranks.
"Press 5 if you're wanting Our Father,
Press 6 to consult with His Son;
Press the pound key if you're getting frantic
And are dying to reach ANYONE.
"Press Zero to dial Operator,
If it's busy don't panic or fuss,
Just wait and re-pray a bit later,
Your prayer is important to Us.
"Your prayer may perhaps be recorded
And relayed later on back to Earth;
To hear psalms, while you wait, by King David,
Please enter the year of your birth.
"You may pray every day except Monday,
There's a chance you may reach someone live;
Please don't pray before eight in the morning
And there's nobody here after five.
"Well, thank you again and keep praying,
We hope that you have a nice day;
In the future for aid or for comfort,
Remember We're here, so just pray."
