Welcome to my Garden!
Sometimes holding on to things life is as hard
as holding on to a bubble!

HOLD ON
Hold on...
to your faith, each day.
Hold on...
To your will and your way.

Hold on...
To each and every dream.
Hold on...
Things are better than they seem.

Hold on...
When shadows move in.
Hold on...
And on God depend.

Hold on...
To your optimistic view.
Hold on...
God walks with you!

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever present
help in trouble." Psalm 46:1

MAKE GOD YOUR REFUGE

Make God your refuge...
An ever present help each day.
Make God your refuge...
His help, He will not delay.

Make God your refuge...
When you feel alone in the world.
Make God your refuge...
His blessings, He shall unfurl.


Make God your refuge...
When you're in deep sorrow.
Make God your refuge...
With each new tomorrow.

Make God your refuge...
In a world of unrest.
Make God your refuge...
And life will be its best!

LIGHT THE WAY
Light the way...
For others to follow you.
Light the way...
In what you say and do.

Light the way...
In a world darkened with sin.
Light the way...
For others to come in.

Light the way..
For those that are lost.
Light the way...
To the foot of the cross.

Light the way...
For others to view.
Light the way...
God is calling to you!

Welcome to my Garden!
This is a country road in NW Arkansas. I love
walking country roads.

WALKING THE TALK
Walking the talk
Is not easy to do,
There is much temptation
For me and for you.

Walking the talk,
When life gets grim,
We often forget,
That we walk with Him.

Walking the talk,
When others stray,
We want to follow
Their will and their way.

Walking the talk,
Being sure and true,
Staying on the right path
Knowing God walks with us too!

Welcome to my Garden!

Pushing Christmas a bit with these "carolers."
I'm not much of a singer, but I must admit singing
makes me feel better!

LET ME BE SINGING
Let me be singing...
when sorrow comes to me.
Le me be singing...
When I think of Thee.

Let me be singing...
When I must feel pain.
Let me be singing...
Confidence I shall gain.

Let me be singing...
When trouble knocks at my door.
Let me be singing...
And fears shall be no more.

Let me be singing...
And not cry and moan.
Le me be singing...
When God calls me home!

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm
and secure." Hebrews 6:19

ANCHORS IN THE STORM
Anchors in the storm,
We all need today.
Anchors in the storm,
So we don't drift away.

Anchors in the storm,
When the waves ore us sweep.
Anchors in the storm,
When we're in too deep.

Anchors in the storm,
When life washes us out to sea.
Anchors in the storm,
Bring peace to you and me.

Anchors in the storm,
Will be our Savior, dear.
Anchors in the storm,
He will always be near!

"His compassions never fail, they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness". Lamentations 3:22-23

IN THE MORNING
In the morning...
While the dew is still new.
In the morning...
God will walk with you.

In the morning...
At the rise of the sun.
In the morning...
When days just begun.

In the morning...
All is fresh, still
In the morning...
You seek God's will.

In the morning...
When the day comes alive.
In the morning...
New surprises arrive!

Our youngest grandson, Jeremy, at his Eagle  Scout ceremony.
His mom, Janet, pinning on his badge with his dad, Richard, looking
on. Children and grandchildren need encouraging in the endeavors that
they undertake in life!

WAY TO GO
Way to go...
Someone will say.
Way to go...
Cheering others on the way.

Way to go...
Words to bless.
Way to go...
Encouragement at its best.

Way to go...
Words are life's song.
Way to go...
Helping others along.

Way to go...
Brings the hopeless, hope.
Way to go...
Helps others to cope!

TOMORROW-TOMORROW
Tomorrow-tomorrow,

Tomorrow-tomorrow,
Is another day.

Tomorrow-tomorrow,
We have on the run.
Tomorrow-tomorrow,
But that day will not come.

Tomorrow-tomorrow,
Will we cry or will we sing?
Tomorrow-tomorrow
Who knows what it will bring?

Tomorrow-tomorrow,
We will start the day with prayer.
Tomorrow-tomorrow,
Worry not... God is already there!

Welcome to my Garden!
This is one of my favorite pictures. Our granddaughter-in-law with our
great grandson when he was first born... he is now six months old and in
every picture he looks so satisfied with life and knows that he is loved.
I would pray to God that every child would know that as well!
"Life- God's Ultimate Gift!"
"You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made". Psalm 139:13-14

Life...
God's ultimate gift to me.

Life...
Live it fully each day.
Life...
Make memories along the way.

Life...
Is filled with both joy and pain.
Life...
Peace from God you shall gain.

Is precious you see.

Remember the sun is shining behind every cloud you face!

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never
walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12

CLOUD OF DARKNESS
Cloud of darkness...
When storm clouds gather round.
Cloud of darkness...
In troubles, will be found.

Cloud of darkness...
The pain and a long weary night.
Cloud of darkness...
The sun will chase away your fright.

Cloud of darkness...
When we live in sin.
Cloud of darkness...
We may feel within.

Cloud of darkness...
Things will soon be alright.
Cloud of darkness...
Jesus is the LIGHT!

Welcome to my Garden!
This is our oldest grandson Rich, when he was small. He is holding
a puppy. You can always "expect the unexpected," with little boys and
puppies!

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
Expect the unexpected,
A note or a phone call.
Expect the unexpected,
A helping hand, when you fall.

Expect the unexpected,
Someone to light a darkened day.
Expect the unexpected,
Someone to help you find your way.

Expect the unexpected,
The sun shines through a rainy day.
Expected the unexpected,
A rainbow lights the skies if gray.

Expect the unexpected,
God always works behind the scene.
Expect the unexpected,
And continue to hope and dream!

Welcome to my Garden!
This is my dad at the family cemetery at Cherry Creek Arkansas.
Our reunion with loved ones will be worth all the good-byes!

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what
God has prepared for those who love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9

IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL
It will be worth it all,
When Jesus you see.
It will be worth it all.
Salvation from Calvary.

It will be worth it all,
When His grace takes place.
It will be worth it all,
When you see God face to face.

It will be worth it all,
The pain and the loss.
It will be worth it all,
The burden of a heavy cross.

It will be worth it all,
When no more you must roam.
It will be worth it all,
When God calls you home!

Welcome to my Garden!
This is a picture of me fishing at Henshaw Lake, when
I was about 8. You need to start early with a child to teach them
to "do the right thing"... but I was never very good at fishing! :)

DO THE RIGHT THING
Do the right thing...
Even if you stand alone.
Do the right thing...
But don't grumble and groan.

Do the right thing...
Even when you've lost.
Do the right thing...
Don't count the cost.


Do the right thing...
Even when it's hard to do.
Do the right thing...
And peace will be with you.

Do the right thing...
Even when you're afraid.
Do the right thing...
Don't regret the decision you've made!

Welcome to my Garden!
This is Jim and Katie, several years ago at
Disneyland (the happiest place on earth)
Even "in the midst" of other people at the
happiest place on earth... you can still be lonely.

IN THE MIDST
In the midst of pain,
May I be with Thee.
In the midst of bitterness,
Please challenge me.

In the midst of sorrow,
My comfort be.
In the midst of trials
Lift my burdens, I plea.

In the midst of joy,
Fill me with glee.
In the midst of loneliness,
May Your face I see.

In the midst of living,
Be with me wherever I roam.
In the midst of dying,
Please call me home!

Sunrise in Fullerton can be beautiful.

IN THE MORNING.
In the morning...
Is when God and I like to meet.
In the morning...
After night's long sleep.

In the morning...
When the sun is on the rise.
In the morning...
Expecting a sweet surprise.

In the morning...
When the dew is still fresh.
In the morning...
Sweet hope I want to last.

In the morning...
Silence sweeps across my soul.
In the morning...
Watching this day unfold!

Welcome to my Garden!
We made a few "precious memories" this weekend. This was taken at
the Saturday BBQ... Emily McGinn, daughter Janet, Kay Jacobson and I.

MEMORIES ARE PRECIOUS
Memories are precious,
Each and every one.
Memories are precious,
Make the kind that are fun.

Memories are precious,
They fill your soul and mind.
Memories are precious,
We tend to remember the lovely kind.

Memories are precious,
Store them for a rainy day.
Memories are precious,
They remind us of those far away.

Memories are precious,
So get busy and make a few.
Memories are precious,
So, be careful what you say and do!
