I don't know about tomorrow,
I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from it's sunshine,
For it's skies may turn to gray.
I don't worry o'er the future,
For I know what Jesus said,
And today I'll walk beside Him,
For He knows what is ahead.
Many things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know Who holds tomorrow,
And I know Who holds my hand.
Ev'ry step is getting brighter,
As the golden stairs I climb;
Ev'ry burden's getting lighter;
Ev'ry cloud is silver lined.
There the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eyes,
At the ending of the rainbow,
Where the mountains touch the sky.
Many things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know Who holds tomorrow,
And I know Who holds my hand.
I don't know about tomorrow,
It may bring me poverty;
But the One Who feeds the sparrow,
Is the One Who stands by me.
And the path that be my portion,
May be through the flame or flood,
But His presence goes before me,
And I'm covered with His blood.
Many things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know Who holds tomorrow,
And I know Who holds my hand.

A new Va. residents PING!!
Thanks for sharing this. They sound like great people of faith.
Wow that teared me up, I could just feel what a fool I would have felt like with a mouth full of tuna and finding out they had lost everything. Americans are wonderful people this proves it.
tissue alert....make it a double!!!!
I welcome Joe and Anna to my home state of Virginia...what a wonderful addition!
Yep. I concur about how many good people you can run into across this great country. Additionally, I am in a position that I meet & talk to truck drivers on a fairly regular basis, and I have found the overwhelming majority of them to be extraordinarily good people.
People like this are the real heart and soul of America.
Intact families...a marriage between one man and one woman..a mom and a dad who provide a decent upbringing for their children...
One thing you just can't seem to have too much of.. if you want one nation under God that can weather what life, and those who seem to hate it, throw at it..
imo
All True. Here in MS most folks are like these. People without walls taking time to help their neighbor put up their roof. It's the best thing about this state. I had the fortune to be at a meeting of addicts recently. At this meeting were 2 docs from CO. and one from CA. (down to help with medical emergencies) Each of them were humbled by the spirit and inner strenght and faith of the people of MS. The Doc from CO kept saying that he was "blown away" by the optimism and gracious spirit of the folks that lost everything. He said that he was a changed man. It made me proud of my neighbors.
People like this are the real heart and soul of America.
If it weren't for folks like this I would give up entirely! I was born in a little town in Kansas that still has a population of less than 800. That is the real backbone of this country. The cities are just breeding criminals and contempt for civilization. They have no idea what the rest of us are up to. 3
The DemonRants think they actually are speaking for the majority of the American people.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Democratic party is dissolving right under their noses and they refuse to acknowledge the facts. I for one hope they continue to show me their hind ends. If they can't see the forest for the trees, we have it made for the next 230 years!
Should read for the next 20 years. I wish it could be for 230, but our representitives fall all over the power we have dropped at their feet and continue to screw it up quicker than we can vote them out.
Belated Mississippi ping
Thanks for the ping! Inspiring story.

Hoddy Toddy!!!!
I would've pinged it myself, but I didn't know how to get the entire list.
I just discovered you have it on your profile... Now I know for next time! :-)
