"Savior, if of Zion's city,
I through grace a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Thy Name.
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion's children know."

Hiding out behind the leaves

But you picked me

Like a shell upon a beach

Just another pretty piece

I was difficult to see

But you picked me

Yeah you picked me"

Sunshine and shadow, blue sky and gray,
laughter and tears as we tread on our way;
hearts that are heavy, then hearts that are light,
eyes that are misty and eyes that are bright;
losses and gains in the heat of the strife,
each in proportion to round out his life.

Into the crucible, stirred by the years,
go all our hopes and misgivings and fears;
glad days and sad days, our pleasures and pains,
worries and conforts, our losses and gains.
Out of the crucible shall there not come
joy undefiled when we pour off the scum?

Out of the sadness and anguish and woe,
out of the travail and burdens we know,
out of the shadow that darkens the way,
out of the failure that tries us to-day,
have you a doubt that contentment will come
when you've purified life and discarded the scum?

Tinctured with sorrow and flavored with sighs,
moistened with tears that have flowed from your eyes;
perfumed with sweetness of loves that have died.
leavened with failures, with grief sanctified,
sacred and sweet is the joy that must come
from the furnace of life when you've poured off the scum.

Let it be said of us

that the Lord was our passion

that with gladness we bore

every cross we were given.

That we fought the good fight

that we finished the course

knowing within us the power of the

Risen Lord.

Let the cross be our glory

and the Lord be our s o n g.

Doubt not His grace.

O child of suffering, be thou patient;

God has not passed thee over in His providence.

He who is the feeder of sparrows,

will also furnish you with what you need.

Sit not down in despair; hope on, hope ever.

Take up the arms of faith against a sea of trouble,

and your opposition shall yet end your distresses.

There is One who careth for you.

His eye is fixed on you,

His heart beats with pity for your woe,

and his hand omnipotent shall yet bring you the needed help.

The darkest cloud shall scatter itself in showers of mercy.

The blackest gloom shall give place to the morning.

He, if thou art one of His family,

will bind up thy wounds, and heal thy broken heart.

Doubt not His grace because of thy tribulation,

but believe that He loveth thee as much in seasons of trouble as in times of happiness.

What a serene and quiet life might you lead

if you would leave providing to the God of providence!

With a little oil in the cruse,

and a handful of meal in the barrel,

Elijah outlived the famine,

and you will do the same.

If God cares for you, why need you care too?

Can you trust Him for your soul, and not for your body?

He has never refused to bear your burdens,

He has never fainted under their weight.

Come, then, soul!

have done with fretful care,

and leave all thy concerns in the hand of a gracious God.

[c.h. spurgeon]

"In Me (God), blessings never end because My love

for you never ends. If My goodnesses toward you end,

I will cease to exist, child.

As long as there is a God in heaven,

there is grace on earth and I am the spilling God of the uncontainable,

forever-overflowing-love-grace."

“I'd like to add some beauty to life," said Anne dreamily. "I don't exactly want to make people know more... though I know that is the noblest ambition... but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me... to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born."

"The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment,

when you are between asleep and awake,

when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy,

when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality,

and it really happened."

"God never witholds from His child that which His

love and wisdom call good.

God's refusals are always merciful- "severe mercies"

at times but mercies all the same.

God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better."
