Today's poem was taken from today's "Thought for Today"

THINGS WE FEAR

Things we fear
Pain that we bear.
Things we fear
No one to care.

Things we fear
When death steals a life.
Things we fear
Sorry and strife.

Things we fear
Limitations in health.
Things we fear
Losing our wealth.

Things we fear
What future may hold.
Things we fear
Being useless and old.

Things we fear
Need not be
For God is our lighthouse
Ever shining you see!

Welcome to my Garden.
Today's poem was taken from "Our Daily Bread"
"But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One that lifts my head"
salm 3:3

MY SHIELD

My shield
For my sorrow.
My hope
For tomorrow.

My help
Each lonely night.
My  zeal
My delight.

My promise
For a future day,
My light
To light the way.

My strength
When I am weak.
My treasure
That I see!

DON'T FEED THE TROLLS

Don't feed the trolls
Means don't answer caustic remarks
Some people want to cause trouble
They are what you might call sharks.

Don't feed the trolls
With your answering anger
When we answer in kind
We put our selves in danger.

Don't feed the trolls
Let gossip dies a silent death
Be kind in both deed and word
Make this your honest quest.

Don't feed the trolls
Instead pray for them today
Make allowances for bitter souls
God will take care of things His way!

Welcome to my Garden.

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it"
Proverbs 4:23

GUARD YOUR HEART

Guard your heart
For ti's God's dwelling place.
Guard your heart
For every trial that you face.

Guard your heart
Be in God's Word each day.
Guard your heart
Bow your head and pray.

Guard your heart
Let your words flow soft and sweet.
Guard your heat
Be kind to everyone you meet.

Guard your heat
On God do depend.
Guard your heart
Everything you do flows from within!

THIS WOR;D'S A SCARY PLACE

This world's a scary place

Sometimes victory we cannot see

But God offers grace

To sinners just like me.

This worlds' a scary place

And we seek a place to hide

And Jesus whispers to us,

"In Me you shall abide."

This world's a scary place

With danger all around

The world offers false security

But in Christ, peace is found.

The world's a scary place

And the news is always grim

But Jesus is good news

In Him Salvation's found!

Today's poem was inspired by "Thought for Today"

STRESS AND FRET.

Stress and fret
The wold seems to do
Stress and fret
God does not want that for you.

Stress and fret
Worry every day
Stress and fret
Stop and take the time to pray .

Stress and fret
Is meaningless, you see.
Stress and fret
God will take care of thee.

Stress and fret
When you face a stormy sea.
Stream ans fret
God whispers, "Just lean on Me!
