I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord." Isaiah 63:7
One time, a man came into a village, and he asked an old man living there, "Any great men born here?" And the old man said, "No, just babies." Great men are not born; great men are made investing in the lives of others, sharing His love, and showing His mercies. Our calling is to be poured out into the lives of others for His glory. There is not a magic formula that instantly makes us sanctified. Sanctification is a process.
How can you show His mercies to a lost co-worker or neighbor today?
Pray about it and then watch for how God provides!
If You Can't...Do
==================
If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk,
if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do
you have to keep moving forward.

God Bless!!
I need your prayers.

He Lives In Me
He Lives In Me
He lives in me ,I know He does ,
He guides my steps ,and through His eyes
I see the beauty of the days ,
The earth , the rivers and the skies .
Throughout the stillness of the night ,
I am at peace because I feel
His presence deep within my soul ,
And never doubt that He is real .
He lives in me …what miracle ,
That made from only humble clay ,
This heart of mine can reach right up ,
And touch His own ,each time I pray .
His ways are wiser than my own ,
And so within His loving hands,
I place my little hopes and dreams ,
Because He truly understands .
Nor will I fear what lies ahead ,
Before His light all shadows fade ,
In His good time shall come pass ,
The plans for me that He has made .
And so I need no tongue to speak ,
No ears to hear , no eyes to see ,
My needs are well provided for ,
….Because I know God lives in me !

God Bless !!

When The Mists Have Rolled Away
When The Mists Have Rolled Away
When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills .
And the sunlight falls in gladness
On the river and the rills ,
We recall our Father’s promise
In the rainbow of the spray :
We shall know each other better
When the mists have rolled away .
We shall come with joy and gladness ,
We shall gather round the throne ;
Face to face with those that love us ,
We shall know as we are known :
And the song of our redemption
Shall resound through endless day
When the shadows have departed ,
And the mists have rolled away .

Within His Hands
Within His Hands
Whenever I grow weary ,
And miles seen much too long ,
And troubles think I am the one
To whom they all belong .
When things don’t always work out ,
According to my plan ,
It’s hard to drag my cross along ,
When I can barely stand .
And yet it’s times like these that test
The metal of my soul ,
How commonplace the daffodil
If everthing were gold .
We would have naught to hope for ,
If skies were always blue ,
And it is true the sweetest smile
Must hide a tear or two .
And so in spite of everthing ,
I know I’m not alone ,
God never will forget me ,
Though all the world be gone .
With age there comes a wisdom
Youth never understands ,
When each of us can see ourselves ,
…Carved in the Savior’s Hands
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !
I will have a knee replacement Febuary 17 please remember me in your prayers .Please remember Mary carpenter , she is having Back problems

Flowers Leave Their Fragrance on the Hand That Bestows Them
Flowers Leave Their Fragrance on the Hand That Bestows Them
This old Chinese proverb ,
if practiced each day ,
Would change the whole world
In a wonderful way-
Its truth is so simple ,
It’s so easy to do ,
And it works every time
And sucessfully ,too
For you can’t do a kindness
Without a reward ,
Not in silver nor gold
But in joy from the Lord-
You can’t light a candle
To show others the way
With out feeling the warmth
Of that bright little ray –
And you can’t pluck a rose ,
All fragrant with dew ,
Without part of its fragrance
Remaining with you .
And whose hands bestow
More fragrant bouquets
Than Mother who daily
speaks kind words of praise ,
A mother whose courage
And comfort and cheer
Lights bright little candles
In hearts through the year-
No wonder the hands
Of an unselfish mother
Are symbols of sweetness
Unlike any other .

This Too Will Pass Away
This Too Will Pass Away
If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me ,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be ,
If I can remain calm and quiet
With all my world crashing about me ,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me ,
When everyone else seems to doubt me ,
If I can keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true ,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away , too,
Then nothing in life can defeat me ,
For as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all the chains
That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear ,
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near .
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !
To reach the port of Heaven we must sail ,
sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it –
but we must sail ,not drift or lie at anchor .

Seek Ye the Kingdom of God
Seek Ye the Kingdom of God
Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain ,
Good things and bad things , pleasure and pain.
We can’t have all sunshine , but it’s certainly true
There is never a cloud the sun doesn’t shine through .
So always remember that whatever betide you
The power of God is always beside you
And if friends disappoint you and plans go astray
And nothing works out in just the right way .
And you feel you have failed in achieving your goal ,
And that life wrongly placed you in an unfitting role ,
Take heart and stand tall and think who you are,
For God is your Father and no one can bar
Or keep you from reaching your desired success ,
Or withhold the joy that is yours to possess ,
For with God on your side it matters not who
Is working to keep life’s good things from you ,
For you need nothing more than God’s guidance and love
To insure you the things that you’re most worthy of .
So trust in His wisdom and follow His ways ,
And be not concerned with the world’s empty praise,
But seek first His kingdom and you will possess
The world’s greatest riches which is true happiness .
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !!
