Carol's Place of Inspiration

When I am prone to worry and
When burdens weigh me down,
I find that counting blessing helps
Me wipe away my frown.

Instead of counting troubles we
Should count our blessings more;
Then we would know that all is well
E'en on earth's rugged shore.

Have you listened to a robin
Telling Spring's eternal story?
While all Nature wakes from slumber
Bursting forth in timeless glory!

Have you watched the stars -twinkling?
Jewels, gleaming in the sky
As they shine thru night's dark cover,
And a patient moon hangs high.

Have you seen the saffron orange,
Golden yellow, and bright red,

As the trees, all dressed for Autumn,
Flaunt their colors overhead?

Have you heard the crunch of new snow
Underfoot, when all is still?
Felt the crisp, cold air bring shivers,
Painting cheeks with Winter's chill?

Seasons pass by, oh, so quickly
As the months turn into years,
And our old frinds seem much dearer,
Sharing laughter, sharing tears.

It's good to find a quiet time
Somewhere in a busy day,
A time for rest, for tranquil thoughts,
A peaceful time to pray:

Reflecting on the wonders,
Daily Challenges and strife,
Thanking God for all His blessings
And the Miracle of Life.

Friends are forever.
They laugh, they love, they share
Each other's thoughts and words,
And most of all, they care.
Friends can come and go
And never be apart,
Because they keep
Each other's smiles
Deep within their heart.
Friends can laugh and talk and cry
And think of lovely times gone by,
But most of all-
They love until they die.

Today I thank You, Lord,
For all the joys You bring-
For rainbows in the sky-
For flowers in the spring -
For warmth of gentle rain
That falls from up above -
For wealth of little prayers
That fill my need for love -
For friends who fail me not
When I am in some need,
When my despair is plain to see,
And there my soul to feed.
You are so kind and gentle, Lord,
Forgive the faults in me
And keep me ever close to You
Until I come to Thee.
