Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!
"I AM Too blessed to be stressed!" The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything. Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.

Let Me Forget
Let Me Forget
One prayer , of all the prayers ,
My heart might say ,
Is , “Teach me to begin
All fresh today .
Lord , teach me to foget
The worry and the fret
That lie behind .
Each morning , born anew ,
With vigor let me do
What’s right and kind ,
Unhampered by the wrong
Of yesterday ,
Oh , teach me quick the song
To sing today ,
Nor let my heart be sore for what has gone before ,
But cheerful say :
“Today the sun is bright !
Today I will do right !”

Like a Brook
Like a Brook
Life is time of changing courses ,
Changing moods and altered wills –
Like a brook that changes pathways
Through the woodlands , fields and hills;
It is time of changing values –
From beginning to its end –
Where we choose ,with growing wisdoms ,
Newer courses ; better friends.
There are years of rushing splendors ,
Reckless thrills and lustful fonds;
Times of tears that flood and threaten
Loves of life and human bonds;
Years of struggle – trail and error –
When we reach for higher goals ,
Searching life for truths and comforts
That are balm for heart and soul .
Then there come the years of ebbing ,
In the quiet pool of life ,
Where there are no rushing waters-
No demands of youth or strife ;
Graceful years that hold no changes
For our courses , wills and ways –
Where the Lords makes calm the waters
That precede our Judgment Day .
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !!
Please remember Rev. David and Hali Bagwell , Scott ,Elizabeth and Emily Bagwell , Hazel Bagwell , Frankie Wilson , Mary Carpenter , Loretta Stroud , Judy Hamlin , Judy Howard , Nadine Stvan , Dot Ellwanger , Jimmy Holiday ,and Billy Phillip .

I meet God in the Morning
I meet God in the Morning
The earth is the Lord’s
and the fullness thereof ,
It speaks of His greatness ,
it sings of his love ,
And each day at dawning
I lift my heart high
And raise up my eyes
to the infinite sky …
I see the dew glisten
in crystal-like splendor
While God , with a touch
that is gentle and tender ,
Wraps up the night
and softly tucks it away
And hangs out the sun
to herald a new day ,
A day yet unblemished
by what’s gone before ,
A chance to begin
and start over once more ,
And all I need do
is to silently pray ,
God , help me and guide me
and go with me today.
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !
God’s gifts put man’s best dreams to shame

My Life
My Life
This coming year I’d like to be a friend of every one ;
I’d like to feel each day well spent at setting of the sun;
I’d like to be the kind of person every one will love ,
And make this world seem just a bit more like Heaven above.
I’d like in all my dealings, to be true and fair ;
That God will help me do these things shall be my daily prayer .
