I Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

(NASB)

A MIDNIGHT CLEAR

It came upon a midnight clear
On that glorious day of old
When God above
Brought down His love
In the form of an infant Child
O' How the shepherds fell to their knees
As angels from heaven came to decree
The message long awaited for
Lo in a manger, in Bethlehem
Lay our Savior and Lord
From the east three wise men came
The King of Kings to see
Gifts they lay before the Child
Bowing low upon their knees
Gold, Frankincense and Muir
Gifts worthy of our King
The angels up on high
Suddenly began to sing
Glory in the highest
For our new born King!

A BROKEN ROSE
Words cannot describe its beauty
As upon the stem it grows
Matchless in its glory
A tender little rose
When its petals are broken
Its greatest beauty it shows
Far more sweeter the fragrance
Of a broken rose
The most beautiful rose was broken one day
Nailed to a tree on a hill far away
Forsaken by His friends; bruised by his foes
How sweet is the fragrance
Of Heaven's sweet rose
Then they laid that broken rose in a borrowed tomb
But on the third day
That rose again did bloom
Now, to the heights of Heaven
Down to the deepest hell
The fragrance of Heaven's rose
Continually dwells
The most beautiful rose was broken one day
Nailed to a tree on a hill far away
Forsaken by his friends; bruised by his foes
How sweet is the fragrance
Of Heaven's sweet rose

Beulah Land

Well I'm kind of homesick for a country
To which I've never been before
No sad good byes will there be spoken
For time won't matter anymore

Beulah land I'm longing for you
And someday on thee I'll stand
There my home will be eternal
Beulah land sweet Beulah land

I'm looking now across the river
To where my faith will end in sight
There's just a few more days to labor
Thrn I'll take my heavenly flight

Beulah land I'm longing for you
And someday on thee I'll stand
There my home will be eternal
Beulah land sweet Beulah land.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
when the road your trudging seems all uphill
when funds are low and debts are high
and you want to smile but you have to sigh
when care is pressing you down a bit
rest if you must, but dot you quit
life is quee with its twists and turns
as everyone of us sometimes learns
and many a failure turns about
when we might have won if we'd stuck it out
dont give up. though the pace seems slow
you may suceed with another blow
often the struggler has given up
and w might have captred the victors cup
and he learned to ate when the night slipped down
how close he was the golden cown
sucess s failure turned inside out
the silver of the clouds of doubt
and you can never tell how close you are
it may be near when i seems afar
so stick to the fight when your hardest hit
its when things seem worst that you must no quit:amen:

Three Trees​


Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods.
They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said,​


'Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with
gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate
carvings and everyone would see the beauty.'​


Then the second tree said, 'Someday I will be a mighty ship. I
will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners
of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the
strength of my hull.'​


Finally the third tree said, 'I want to grow to be the tallest
and straightest tree in the forest. People wil see me on top of the
Hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God
and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of
all time and people will always remember me.'​


After a few years of praying their dreams would come true, a
group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first
tree he said, 'This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to
sell the wood to a carpenter', and he began cutting it down.
The tree was happy because he knew the carpenter would make him
into a treasure chest.​


At the second tree the woodsman said, 'This looks like a strong
tree. I should be able to sell it to the shipyard. The second tree was
happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.​


When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was
frigthened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams
would not come true. Then one of the woodsmen said, 'I don't need
anything special from my tree, I'll take this one.' And he cut it down.​


When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into
a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay.
This was not at all what he had prayed for.​


The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat.
His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come
to an end.​


The third tree was cut into large pieces
and left alone in the dark.​


The years went by and the trees forgot about their dreams.​


Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave
birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was
made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made
a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could
feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the
greatest treasure of all time.​


Years later, a group of men got into the fishing boat made from
the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they
were out on the water a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it
was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping
man and He stood and said 'Peace' and the storm stopped..At this time the
tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.​


Finally one day, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through
the streets as the people mocked and yelled at the man who
carried it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree
and raised in the air to die at the top of the hill. When Sunday came,
the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the
top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because
Jesus had been crucified on it.​


The moral of this story is; When things don't seem to be going
your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place
your trust in Him, God will give you great gifts. Each of the trees
got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined.
We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know
that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best.
Please share this message so that God may inspire more people
on the way.​


May your day be blessed and may God cradle you in the palm of His hand!​

Blessed Be Your Name

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
