God gave us the seasons —
each with its own beauty and reason,
each meant to bring us a blessing,
a joy, and a feeling of love

God speaks to me in springtime
When the earth is wet with dew
In the meadows and the prairies
As the grass comes poking through.

Did God not make the universe
The drifting clouds so high
A blazing sun, the moon and stars
The blue and endless sky.

A lovely rose with leaves of green
Ascends upon the wall
With crimson red and floral spread
Does make one stand in awe

Jesus walks with me each day
He is a wonderful guide
No matter how narrow the way
He never leaves my side.

When everything seems to go wrong, just push
when the job gets you down, just push
when people don’t react the way you think they should, just push

One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ah the beauty of God’s creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful work.
As I sat there, I felt the Lord’s presence with me.. He asked me, “Do you love me?” I answered, “Of course, God! You are my Lord and Savior!” Then He asked, “If you were physically handicapped, would you still love me?”

I asked God for strength that I might achieve.
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn’t looking saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

2 Corinthians 9:15 – “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!”
1 Thessalonians 3:9 – “How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?”
