               A Gift
1 Peter 5:7- Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you.

I have a gift
And I look through it everyday
I have a gift And I listen to it all the time
I have a gift
I talked to it when I'm alone
I love my gift
It gives me peace, joy and compassion
It gives me guidance, teaching and love
My gift comes with me all the time
I hope you can see it in me
In what I say or do
Sometimes I forget about it but I try not to
It is the very best gift
I feel like I should hold it tight
And I do
Yet I let it breathe and grow
I love to share my gifts with others too
It is the very best of gifts
And I pray you find it one day
For the gifts from god are true blessings
And that is exactly what his love is
A gift

My soul praises the lord; my heart rejoices in God my savior
Luke 1:46-47

My motto-
Forward On Our Knees

Only those that kneel before the Lord can truly stand up to the world!



 you can't make footprints in the sand of times that you are sitting down

He is our gift. He should be carried with us at all times. Sometimes we do forget. I like how you put this!

When you can't make up your mind
Which way is right for you,
Stop and softly ask yourself,
What Would Jesus Do?

Yes, Thumper, this surely is the right way
to look at your blessings!  And you said it in such simple, humble and straight forward language that we can all learn from...
Keep posting here.

Love it, and also your signature.  We are so blessed to have knowledge of our Father, and the more we know, we realize how vast His goodness we yet don't know.
