Today's poem was taken from today's Jesus Calling.
DO NO BE SO BUSY
Do not be so busy
That you don't think of Me today.
Do not be so busy
That you can't take time to pray.
Do not be so busy
That you're weighted down with little things.
Do not be so busy
That you miss the blessings today brings.
Do not be so busy
That you try to do everything today.
Do not be so busy
That you can't rest along the way.
Do not be so busy
That you forget the meaning and reason.
Do not be so busy
Remember I am the focus of this season.

Psalm 139:14
YOU ARE WONDERFULLY CRAFTED
You are wonderfully crafted
But you grow weary with age.
So prepare your mind and your spirit
For that part of life's stage.
You are wonderfully crafted
But your body is effected by the years.
With all of life's troubles and sorrows
And all the emotional tears.
You are wonderfully crafted
As you age, identify more fully with Me.
And as your body grows older
You spirit grows younger, you see.
You are wonderfully crafted
But the physical body won't last.
As the process of aging continues
On Me your anchor do cast!

THE HEAVENS DECLARE HIS GLORY
The heavens declare His glory
The stars declare the work of His hand
Day follows day
And the sunsets over the land.
The heavens declare His glory
As clouds move along the sky
So many beautiful, special moments
That brings along a sigh.
The heavens declare His glory
On a storm-filled night
And its mighty forces
Fills us with fright.
The heavens declare His glory
A rainbow after rain.
It is filled with promise
One day there'll be no pain.

THE HEAVENS DECLARE HIS GLORY
The heavens declare His glory
The stars declare the work of His hand
Day follows day
And the sunsets over the land.
The heavens declare His glory
As clouds move along the sky
So many beautiful, special moments
That brings along a sigh.
The heavens declare His glory

JESUS IS...
Jesus is...
My shade in the summer,
When the heat is on the rise.
Jesus is...
My shelter in the storm,
My boat will not capsize.
Jesus is...
Is my shield in times of trouble,
When my strength is gone.
Jesus is....
My help in sorrow,
When I think I can't carry on.
Jesus is...
My Salvation,
For my sins He did atone.
Jesus is...
My defender,
When I stand alone.
Jesus is...
Is my treasure,
My Savior and my friend.
Jesus is...

CREATED TO LOOK LIKE GOD
Created to look like God
Are each of us, you see.
He breathed His Spirit
Into you and me.
Created to look like God
Within our very soul
And when we follow Him
His likeness will unfold.
Created to look like God

And they're never over filled
When guided from above.
Created to look like God
But my question today,
Does others see Him in us,
As we walk along life's way?

Remembering your Savior
He also stood alone.
Living by your convictions
Be committed to your God
For He will walk with you
On the path of life you trod!

Today's poem was taken from "In Touch"
LIVING BY YOUR CONVICTIONS
Living by your convictions
For that, you must pray
That God will give you strength
For each and every day.
Living by your convictions
In a world that thinks they are absurd
You beed to daily be
In God's Holy Word.
Living by your convictions
Even when you're on your own
Remembering your Savior
He also stood alone.
Living by your convictions
Be committed to your God
For He will walk with you
On the path of life you trod!

Freda's Garden:
Welcome to my Garden:
Today's poem was taken from today's "Beside The Still Waters"
FORGIVE
Forgive...
When it's hard...pray.
Forgive....
God will help you today.
Forgive...
It will set you free.
Forgive...
And God will forgive thee.
Forgive...
Iff you fail...try again.
Forgive...
It's the only way to win.
Forgive...
Life is too short for bitterness.
Forgive...
For lasting happiness!
