My Cup

I've never made a fortune and it's probably too late now
But I don't worry about that much I'm happy anyhow.

And as I go along life's way I'm reaping better than I sow
I'm drinking from my saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven't got a lot of riches and sometimes the going's tough
But I've got loving ones around me and that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for his blessings and the mercies He's bestowed
I'm drinking from my saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed.

Oh, remember times when things went wrong my faith wore somewhat thin
But all at once the dark clouds broke and sun peeped through again.

So Lord, help me not to gripe about the tough rows that I've hoed ,
I'm drinking from my saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage when the way grows steep and rough
I'll not ask for other blessings - I'm already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy to help others bear their loads
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed!!

Two Boxes

I have in my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black
And your joys into the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes
Both my joys and sorrows I store
But though the gold became heavier each day
The black was as light as before.

With curiosity, I opened the black
I wanted to find out why
And I saw in the base of the box, a hole
Where my sorrows used to lie

I showed it to God and mused aloud,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be?"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with Me."

I asked, "God, why give me the boxes,
Why the gold, and the black with the hole?"
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
And the black is for you to let go."

When

When you are sad I will dry your tears.
When you are scared I will comfort your fears.

When you are worried I will give you hope.
When you are confused I will help you cope.

And when you are lost and can't see the light.
I shall be your beacon shining ever so bright.

This is my oath. I pledge till the end.
Why you may ask? Because you're my friend.

Doesn't that describe the kind of friend Jesus is to us??

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27
Dearest Lord Jesus,
I come before you, dear Lord, asking You to bring me this peace of Yours. Please show me the secret of having Your peace and living a peaceful Way of Life. Show me how to be peaceful in my heart and full of peace for others. Lord, rid me of troubling thoughts, and teach me how to keep Your precious peace in all circumstances. I wake up in the morning with every intention of walking with You…happy, peaceful, joyful. It seems as if in a moment, something bursts into my life to rob me of Your peace. It might be resentment, offense, judgment, or the sin of others. It might be my own sin that seeks to rob me of Your beautiful gem of Peace.
Jesus, I can’t buy Your peace. Please teach me how to live in Your peace every moment of every day. The world brings many problems to deal with, and I know I cannot solve them. Help me to walk with You and apply Your Word to my heart. Help me to know that You will take care of me and give me what I really need. Shine through me Lord, and let me be Your faithful example of peace throughout this day. Help me, dear Lord, to focus on the fact that as I walk with You, I can have Your total peace. I am leaving the rest up to You.
Thank You, dear Savior.
Your loving child,
Nancy
