Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden!

Questions I need to ask myself!

WHAT IF?

What if...

Today was your last day?

Would you do things

In a different way?

What if...

Like Job, you lost everything?

Would you to God,

Your praises sing?

What if...

A friend betrayed your trust?

Would you try to get even 

And make a fuss?

What if...

You followed Jesus every day?

Some of these things

Will happen along the way.

But your what ifs...

Will all retreat,

When your Savior

You shall meet!

Welcome to my Garden!
Facing the Impossible! I'm never going to be young again!
"But with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

FACING THE IMPOSSIBLE:
Facing the impossible,
A life of pain.
Facing the impossible,
Taking the blame.

Facing the impossible,
Problems unsolved.
Facing the impossible,
Relationships dissolved.

Facing the impossible,
Feeling afraid.
Facing the impossible,
Mistakes I've made.

Facing the Impossible,
Is possible for me,
For nothing is impossible
For my God, you see!

Welcome to my Garden!
Now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.1 Corinthians 13:13

ONLY ONE THING REMAINS:
Faith, hope and love,
One thing will remain
And it will be,
That love is it's name.

Heaven and earth,
Will surely pass away,
One thing will remain
My Word, though endless day.

Jesus Christ..
The Word is very true,
He remains the same,
Today and tomorrow too.

One thing remains:
God is God... therefore
He continually reigns
Now and forevermore!

DON'T LOSE HEART
Don't lose heart,
Help is on the way.
Don't lose heart,
Trust God each day.

Don't lose heart,
When through a storm you walk.
Don't lose heart,
To God you can talk.

Don't lose heart,
When you must slow your pace.
Don't lose heart,
Remember, God's unmatchless grace.

Don't lose heart,
When your path is obscure.
Don't lose heart,
God's love is true and secure!

LOOK UP
Look up...
When troubles come your way.
Look up...
Each step you take today.

Look up...
When at the end of your rope.
Look up...
From there will come your hope.

Look up...
When our path is obscure.
Look up...
Your faith will be secure.

Look up...
Let God be your guide.
Look up...
In His peace abide!

FAILURE IS NOT FATAL
Failure is not fatal,
When you fall by the way.
Failure is not fatal,
Try again today.

Failure is not fatal,
When knocked on bended knee.
Failure is not fatal,
You can pray, you see.

Failure is not fatal,
When to God you repent.
Failure is nor fatal,
In this mortal tent.

Failure is not fatal.
God keeps no records of each wrong.
Failure is not fatal,
So sing the redemption song!

OUR ANCHOR
Our Anchor for the soul.
Is redemption retold.

Our anchor will hold fast,
If in Jesus our lives are cast.

Our anchor will not drift,
If to Christ our hands, we lift.

Our anchor will surely hold
If Jesus is our mold.

Our anchor, sure should be,

Welcome to my Garden!
My three babies. The best way a couple can make their
children feel safe and secure, is to love each other!

SAFE AND SECURE
Safe and secure...
In God's love.
Safe and secure...
Guided from above.

Safe and secure...
In the promises He made.
Safe and secure...
In the price that He paid.

Safe and secure...
When the storms abound.
Safe and secure...
When the devil prowls around.

Safe and secure...
On a calm sea.
Safe and secure...
Is my Savior to me!
