Bright Tomorrows

I will sing of your love and justice;
to you, O Lord, I will sing praise.
psalm 101:1 NIV

God has told us that nothing can sever
A life He created to live forever.
so let God's promise soften our sorrow
And give us new strength
      for a brighter tomorrow.

God's Sovereign Hand

Both riches and honor come from thee, and thou rulest
over all. In thy hand are power and might; and in
thy hand it is to make great and to give strength
to all. And now we thank thee, our God,
and praise thy glorious name.
1 Chronicles 29:12-13 RSV

Accept what the new year brings,
Seeing the hand of God in all things,
And as you grow in strength and grace,
The clearer you can see God's face.


God is with you and he cares about what is happening to you, he is guiding your steps and directing your path.  He doesn't promise only Roses there will be challenges and we will not necessarily find things going the way we want them, but that doesn't mean that he has left us or forsaken us, he is waiting there and wants us to come to him,

Father, we give you this day and thank you for the rest we experienced last night, as we start this day, we ask for your guidance in what we say and do, first to our family and then to those who come across our path.  Help us to be gracious and sensitive to their needs, too.  Father help us to experience your peace in this day.  In Jesus Name. Amen


Yesterday we had Sunday School and Church, we had a missionary, he is former Heuterite from SD and is a missionary in India, he spoke in Sunday School and then in worship service.  after church we took down decorations and ate pizza together. I came home and slept and then we ate with Sr. in town.  Men played pook and I watched the ladies putting a puzzle together.
