My prayer for you was not for rewards
that you could touch or feel.
But true rewards for happiness
that are so very real.
Like love and understanding
in all the things you do.
And guidance when you need it most
to see your troubles through.
I asked Him for good health for you
so that your future could be bright.
And faith to accept life's challenges
and the courage to do what's right.
I gave thanks to Him for granting my prayer
to bring you peace and love
May you feel the warmth in your life
with God's blessings from above.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of hie life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it.
"LORD, you said that once I declared to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied, "My precious, precious child.
I love you and I would never leave you.
During you times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
Succedd is failure turned inside out,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse,
That you MUST NOT QUIT!
For some of these, it's unknown who wrote them.
Ever notice this "Unknown" person gets a LOT of credit for things!!!! =)
I hope that you enjoyed these, and I'll try to add more stuff soon!
