The Land of Beginning Again
The Land of Beginning Again
I wish for the Land of Beginning Again
Where I could start life all anew;
Where confusion and strife
That filled this poor life
Could not dampen my way like the dew ,
If I could forget how I’ve stumbled along ,
How I’ve fumbled and fathered and failed ,
How I’ve veered each day
From the service way ,
And from duties have halted and quailed .
My ear has been dull to the call of the world
With its sorrows , and heartaches , and needs;
So taken up with self
I’ve had time for naught else ,
No time to cheer others with helpful deeds
If I could erase all the dark things of life ,
If I could make right all the wrongs –
Every unkind word spoken ,
Every good intention broken ,
It would turn all my sighs into songs .
Oh God , to that Land of Beginning Again
Let me come thru these penitent tears ;
Let me start life anew ,
Let Thy rich grace endue
me for service thru life’s golden years .

Quit Supposin'
Don't start your day by supposin'
that trouble is just ahead ,
It's better to stop supposin'
and start with a prayer instead ,
And make it a prayer of thanksgiving
for the wonderful things God has wrought ,
Like the beautiful sunrise and sunset ,
God's gifts that are free and not bought.
For what is the use of supposin'
the dire things that could happen to you
And worrying about some misfortune
that seldom if ever comes true ?
For supposin' the worst things will happen
only helps to make them come true
And you darken the bright , happy moments
that the dear Lord has given to you .
So if you desire to be happy
and get rid of the misery of dread
Just give up supposin' the worst things
and look for the best things instead .
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !!
Let us be of good cheer , remembering that the misfortunes hardest
to bear are those which never come .

Easier Grows the Way
Looking ahead , the hills seem steep
and the road rises up to the sky ,
But as we near them and start to climb ,
they never seem half as high .
And thinking of work and trouble ,
we worry and hesitate ,
But just as soon as we tackle the job,
the burden becomes less great .
So never a hill ,a task , or load ,
a minute ,an hour ,or load ,
But as we grow near it and start to climb ,
easier grows the way .
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !
A merry heart goes all the day ,
a sad tires in a mile .
This poem is for you my son {David ]

Mover of Mountains
Faith is force that is greater
Than knowledge or power or skill ,
And the darkest defeat turns to triumph
If we trust in God’s wisdom and will .
For faith is a mover of mountains,
There’s nothing man cannot achieve
If he has the courage to try it
And then has the faith to believe .

Your Life Will Be If You Look For The Best
Your Life Will Be Blessed if You Look for the Best
It’s easy to grow downhearted
when nothing goes your way ,
It’s easy to be discouraged
when you have a troublesome day ,
But trouble is only a challenge
to spur you on to achieve
The best that God has to offer
if you have the faith to believe !
Jan Bagwell
God Bless!
Even the woodpecker owes his success to
the fact that he uses his head and keeping
away until he finishes the job he starts.

God Bless !!
