Life is a gift we’re given each and every day.
Dream about tomorrow, but live for today.
To live a little, you’ve got to love a whole lot.
Love turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Sometimes I wonder when things go wrong,
Has God forsaken and left me alone?
Then I remember through trials and distress,
He’s always with me,
I’m most richly blessed.

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

I know it seems you’re all alone
No one to really care, With such a heavy burden
That you alone must bear.

Just close you eyes and open your heart
And feel the worries and cares depart
Just yield yourself to the Father above,
And let him hold you secure in his love.

I just had to write to tell you how much I love you and care for you. Yesterday, I saw you walking and laughing with your friends; I hoped that soon you’d want Me to walk along with you, too.

I am writing to say how much I care for you and to say how much I want you to know me better.
When you awoke this morning I exploded a brilliant sunrise through your window hoping to get your attention, but you rushed off without even noticing.

May your heart always
find peace and comfort in the knowledge
that you are never alone.
May God’s presence ease your spirit
and give you rest when you need it.
He knows how you feel.

1. Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a “sweet duty.”

Thank you, God for everything …
The big things and the small,
For “every good gift comes from God,”
The Giver of them all.
