THE PATH OF PATIENCE

The path of patience

You must follow today.

The path of patience

My will and My way.


The path of patience

I'm king of your soul.

The path of patience

Put your plans on hold.


The path of patience

Concentrate on me.

The path of patience

Will set you free.


The pathos patience

I will be by your side.

The path of patience

In me do abide!

Welcome to my Garden.

Today's poem was taken from "The Power Of Being Thankful"

"I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Matthew 28:20


GOD'S PROMISE: "I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS"


I am with you always

Through very storm of life.

I am with you always

Through all your troubles and strife.


I am with you always

You may not feel me there.

I am with you always

Look! And you'll see Me everywhere.


I am with you always

Through you failures and your sin.

I am with you always

You can begin again.


I am with you always

In every sorrow that you face.

I am with you always

With My Amazing Grace!

WHEN GOD FRUSTRATES YOUR PLANS


When God frustrates your plans

And sets up a road-block for you

Go to Him in prayer

He'll tell you what to do.


When God frustrates your plans

And asks you to wait

Listen to His voice

Before it's too late.


When God frustrates your plans

And His answer is no

Trust His wisdom

You have no where else to go. 


When God frustrates your plans

They may not be His plans, you see,

He just wants you to know

He has a much better plan for thee!

UNFINISHED PROJECT


Unfinished Project

Is what we are

God is not finished 

With us, by far.


Unfinished project

We're in His workroom, you see

And He's still working 

On you and on me.


Unfinished project

Through His Mercy and Grace

We're being prepared

For this earthly race.


Unfinished projected

Will be complete

When we see Jesus

And worship at His feet!

 Welcome to my Garden.

Today's poem was taken from today's "Our Daily Bread"


GOD IS CRYING


God is crying

For those who've rejected the cross.

God is crying

For a world that is lost.


God is crying

For babies unborn

God is crying

For those who do mourn.


God is crying

For a world of unrest and hate.

God is crying

For those who wait until it's too late.


God is crying

For those who've bought Satan's lies

God is crying 

For each unbeliever that dies.

Welcome to my Garden.

Today's poem was taken from today's In Touch-Charles Stanley.

It was very hard for me to conquer my fears and ride this gondola to the  top of this mountain in Switzerland!
 

HOW TO CONQUER YOUR FEARS


How to conquer your fears

First admit them to you.

Name them each one

And hold them up to view.


How to Conquer your fears

Take them to God in prayer

Name them all to Him

While you are with Him there.


How to conquer your fears

When Satan whisper doubt in your ear

Answer him with Scripture

And he will soon disappear.


How to conquer your fears

Remember you're human, you see

And  it's God who has power

And He's still working on thee!.

Welcome to my Garden.

Today's poem was taken from today'a "Our Daily Bread ."

The ant is very small, but God gave it the strength to lift  things twice his size

So don't you think He will give us strength to conquer the storms of life?


SMALL, YET MIGHTY

Small, yet mighty

Mankind can be

 Jesus whispers to us

"Come follow Me"


Small, yet mighty

We must trust it will be

That God will provide

All our strength, you see.


Small, yet mighty

Matters not the world's schemes

God is our guide 

And hears our prayers and our dreams.


Small, yet mighty

When circumstances seem grim

God is always waiting

For us to turn to Him!

Freda's Garden:


Welcome to my Garden. 

Today's poem was taken from (In Touch-Charlea Stanley) 

For every thorn there is a rose and for every cloud there is sunshine.

It depends on how we see things.


LIFE'S FRUSTRATIONS

Life's frustrations 

Comes to us all

There are times when we feel

We have hit a brick-wall.


We fret and we fuss

When things seem go wrong 

And often we wonder

If we have strength to carry on.


So often it seems,

We fail our blessings to see,

And often think why

Do things happen to me?


Then God gently reminds us

Of folks that we know

That have far more problems

As through life they go.


So I'll seek God in prayer

When  frustrations come my way

And count not my losses

But my blessings each day!

STORMS OF FEAR

Storms of fear

Sometimes floods the soul

And it does not matter

If you're young or old.


Terror will grip us

In the dead of night

And we long for

Day's sweet light.


We find storms of fear

On the evening news

It will set our minds

To feeling the blues


So turn of the news 

Turn to God when afraid

He's always there

To give us aid!

PATIENCE AND WISDOM GO HAND IN HAND


It is often in impatience

Unwise choices are made

And often they make us

Ashamed and afraid.


Emotions will urge us to be careless

In the things we say and do

Telling us to act unwisely 

And not wait to think things through.


Godly wisdom tells us

To be patient  and wait

Until we have the facts

And not to act in haste.


We need God's perspective

To step back and see

That His grace reminds us

That love sets us free.

GUARDING AGAINST DOUBT


Guarding against doubt

That Jesus really does save

We sometimes lose sight

Of wonderful gift  that He gave.


Guarding against doubt

Coming to God in prayer

When He seems to us silent

We think He's not there.


Guarding against doubt

Count our blessings you see

And then we will know

How much He cares for you and me.


Guarding against doubt

In His Word we must be

For it us there that we find

He  has set us free!

PRACTICE THESE THINGS


Practice your FAITH

How is it done?

You focus on Jesus

God's only Son.


Practice your HOPE

It needs renewed every day

And patience to wait

For God's will and His way.


Practice your PRAYER

It's conversation with God, you see

He does not mind repetition

He just wants to hear from thee.


Practice your LOVE

In the kind things you do

It will soften your heart

And surely bless you!

 Welcome to my Garden!

Today's poem was taken from today's "Beside The Still Waters"

THINGS WE CAN BE CERTAIN  OF

These are uncertain times

But some thing we can be certain of

The first one that comes to mind

Is God's everlasting Love.


We certainly can be sure

In all the fear and loss

The our sins are forgiven

Jesus nailed them to the cross.


In this uncertain world

With its daily change

We will find that it is true

God's Word remains the same.


And in His Word

We find all His promises come true

And whatever circumstances we face

His strength see us through!

Today's poem was taken from today's "In Touch"

"Always In His Presence"


ALWAYS WITH ME


Always with me

Thought sometimes I forget

That God's ever present

And is  here with me yet.


Aways with me

Through every storm I face

He is ever present

Though hard may be the race.


Always with me

Whether I fall or stand

He is always ready

To take me by the hand.


Always with me

Even when I disbelieve

For He gives me that assurance

In the blessings I receive!

Fereda's Garden:


 Welcome to my Garden.

Today's poem was taken from today's (Beside The Still Water)

You follow a pattern when you sew a dress or knit a sweater or crochet

overalls for a toy bear. We need to follow a pattern for our lives as well

Our lives need to be patterned after Christ!


THE PATTERN

The pattern you are wearing

Does it fit just right?

Is it most comfortable

To you both day and night?


The pattern may have been passed

From one generation to another

But does it include

Loving every sister and every brother?


Is the pattern from the Bible

Does it compare to Christ's life?

Or is it filled with doubt

And much fear and strife?


O God, may our lives be patterned

After Your Holy Word and You

Teach us to search for the original

And to love our neighbor too!

Today' poem was taken from today's "In Touch"

THE WORDS OF OUR FAITH

REDEMPTION

We were so lost

God sent His son

To redeem us on the cross.


JUSTIFICATION

Just as if we had never sinned

 The blood of Jesus makes us whole

And cleanses us within.


FORGIVNESS

Is the removal of our guilt, you see

Jesus nailed it to the cross

So we could live with Him eternally.


RECONCILIATION

Is restored relationship with God

He will always look after us

As though this world we trod.


SANCTIFICATION

Means for God we are set apart

And the more time spent with him

The more gratitude fills our heart!
