Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden:
Jim bought this Seth Thomas school-house clock
from a barber several years ago. It has ticked away
several memories. A clock reminds us that time slips
away.

LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME
Live one day at a time,
This moment, this minute.
Live one day at a time
Put your heart right in it.

Live one day at a time,
Yesterday has slipped by.
Live one day at a time,
Don't wish for this day to fly.

Live one day at a time,
Keep your mind on today.
Live on day at a time,
Your burden is lighter that way.

Live one day at a time,
Don't walk an another's shoes.
Live one day at a time,
Life will be as you choose!

Welcome to my Garden:
"Out of the depths, I cry to you, O Lord." Psalm 130:1

WHY ME?
Why me?
A question oft spoken.
Why me?
I feel so broken

Why me?
I can't  see my way.
Why me?
Please lighten my day.

Why me?
This burden's hard to bear.
Why me?
Please someone care.

Why me?
All is not loss.
Why me?
I follow the cross!

Welcome to my Garden:
I have memories of this day. It was at the LA Zoo.

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS
Memories are made of this...
Stories from the past.
Memories are made of this...
Experiences that last.

Memories are made of this..
Happenings of the day.
Memories are made of this...
Hugs and smiles along the way.

Memories are made of this...
Days and months fly by.
Memories are made of this...
Loved ones with you cry.

Memories are made of this...
Time spent in prayer.
Memories are made of this...
When God's love we share

Welcome to my Garden:
This is where the Jordan River begins. God's blessings
are as constant as the flow of a river.

THE CONSTANT ONE
The constant One...
Is my Savior so dear.
The constant One...
He is ever so near.

The constant One...
Who see all my pain.
The constant One...
He holds no blame.

The constant One...
Brings me real peace.
The constant One...
My fears will release.

The constant One...
My love will not spurn.
The Constant One...
Someday shall return!

Welcome to my Garden:
This is one of my favorite pictures. Jim holding
his Bible.  His hands form a heart.
Right after Janet and Richard left yesterday, he led a prayer for
safe travel. I never get tired of this blessings or fail to thank God for it!

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS
Prayer changes things,
With God have a talk.
Prayer changes things,
It will help our walk.

Prayer changes things,
Turns worry into rest.
Prayer changes things,
When we're put to the test.

Prayer changes things,
When we don't know where to turn.
Prayer changes things,
When God's trust we learn.

Prayer changes things,
At the end of the day.
Prayer changes things,
Burdens change shoulders when we pray.

Welcome to my Garden!

BETTER THAN PLANNED
Better than planned...
Life sometimes can be.
Better than planned...
Following God, you see.

Better than planned...
Is the spirit-filled heart.
Better than planned...
Is the day's new start.

Better than planned...
Are the blessings from above.
Better than planned...
Is God's great love.

Better than planned...
Will be life ever-after.
Better than planned...
For it was planned by the Master!

Welcome to my Garden:
This picture was taken from our hotel window
on our first trip to Hawaii.

CALMING THE STORM
Calming the storm,
On a storm-tossed sea.
Calming the storm,
In you and me.

Calming the storm,
May your fear subside.
Calming the storm,
God holds the tide.

Calming the storm,
That mounts in your heart
Calming the storm,
The waves will depart.

Calming the storm,
Is the Savior, you see.
Calming the storm,
For He hears your plea!
