Summer Beauty
The loveliness that I behold
So far beyond compare ,
The joy I feel within my soul
Tells me my Savior’s near .
I see Him in red roses
That bloom along the vine .
I feel Him in the gentle wind
That sweeps the Summer pines .
The sky enfolds me like a glove
Of magic azure blue ,
And I’m reminded that His love
Surrounds me this way , too !
A rolling carpet of green grass
Backs up this breathless view ,
And I know for me that Heaven
Will be in colors of this hue .
As the sun slips slowly out of sight
In its southerly direction ,
I want to whisper , “Please don’t go ,
Don’t end this day’s perfection .”
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !
Guide me in Your truth and teach
me , for You are God my Savior ,
for You I await all the long day ,
because of Your goodness , Lord
Psalm 25:5

If We But Believe
If we put our problems
in God’s hand ,
There is nothing
we need understand …
It is enough
to just believe
That what we need
we will receive .
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !
When God allows a burden to be put upon you ,
He will put His own arm underneath you to help .
Pray for Billy Phillip Dad .

A Sure Way to a Happy Day
A Sure Way to a Happy Day
Happiness is something we create in our mind ,
It’s not something we search for and so seldom find ,
It’s just waking up and beginning the day
by counting our blessings and kneeling to pray ,
It’s giving up thoughts that breed discontent
And accepting what comes as a gift heaven-sent ,
It’s giving up wishing for things we have not
And making the best of whatever we’ve got ,
It’s knowing that life is determined for us ,
And pursing our tasks without fret , fume , or fuss ,
For it’s by completing what God gives us to do
That we find real contentment and happiness too
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !
The only ones among us who will be really happy are
those who will have sought and found how to serve .

The House of Prayer
The House of Prayer
Just close your eyes
and open your heart
And feel your worries
and cares depart ,
Just yield yourself
to the Father above
And let Him hold you
secure in his loves -
For life on earth
grows more involved
With endless problems
that can’t be solved -
But God only asks us
to do our best ,
Then He will take over
and finish the rest –
So when you are tired ,
discouraged , and blue ,
There’s always one door
that is open to you –
And that is the door
to the house of prayer
And you’ll find God waiting
to meet you there ,
And the house of prayer
is no father away
Than the quiet spot
where you kneel and pray –
For the heart is a temple
when God is there
As we place ourselves
in His loving care ,
And He hears every prayer
and answers each one
When we pray in His name
“Thy will be done “ –
And the burdens that seemed
to heavy to bear
Are lifted away
on the wings of prayer.
Jan Bagwell
