Footprints in the Sand
One night a man/woman had a dream that he was
walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each
scene, he noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him, the
other belonging to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he
looked back at the
footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times
along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints, and that it
happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life...
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord
about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But during the most troublesome times in my like,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most,
you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child. I Love
you, (Name), and I would never
leave you. During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of
footprints, it was then that I carried you."
I am the Way
Take God's hand, He's calling you, (Name).
He offers help in all you do.
Let not life's cares your heart dismay,
God planned for you a better way.
Then turn from fear, let faith abide,
Your gracious Lord is by your side.
Kneel down in peace and gently pray,
For Jesus said..^I am the Way^.
In His Footsteps
When someone does a kindness
It always seems to me...
That's the way God up in heaven
Would like us all to be.
For when we bring some pleasure,
To another human heart,
We have followed in His footsteps,
We've had a little part...
In serving Him who loves us,
For I am sure it's true,
That in serving those around us,
We serve and please Him too.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father
Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those
Who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil;
For Thine is the Kingdom,
And the Power.
And the Glory, forever.
Amen
The Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things
I cannot change, courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right if I
surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen
The Ten Commandments
Thou shalt have no other gods before me
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
Thou shalt not take the Name
of the Lord thy God in vain
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy
Honor thy father and thy mother
That thy days may be long upon the land
Which the Lord thy God giveth thee
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
Thou shalt not covet
The Snowflake Prayer
Thank You, God,
For the gift of winter.
For the cold frosty snow
And shimmering icicles,
For frozen lakes and rivers,
And most of all for snowflakes,
Ever so beautiful, so special,
So one of a kind.
Let them remind me that
I am like that in Your eyes...
So beautiful, so special,
So one of a kind.
Thank You, God for snowflakes,
Thank You God, for me.
Angel Light
Although you may not see them,
you are always in their sight.
They bring the gift of love and guidance,
It is called the "Angel Light".
You know they always hear you,
to them your voice is dear.
With the comfort that they bring to you,
You need not ever fear.
So here's a place for (Name) to come,
to do with angels what must be done.
To make our world whole and bright,
and share with all, the "Angel Light">
(Name's) Angel
Angels come from up above,
to show you God's eternal Love.
They keep you safe from harm,
they surround you with their loving arms.
Just listen with an open ear,
and they will calm your every fear.
Have you ever thought you heard,
an angel's soft and gentle word?
Angels come from up above,
to show (Name), God's eternal love.
Wings of Light
Angels above him,
guardians of his soul,
protect, guide, and assist him,
so that he may grow.
Archangel Michael on his right,
Gabriel on his left,
Rafael in front of him,
Auriel at his back
Mother Earth beneath his feet,
Christ Light from above,
enfold him in your wings of light,
fill (Name) with your love.
Broken Dreams
As children bring their broken toys,
With tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
Because He was my friend.
But then instead of leaving Him,
In peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help,
With ways that were my own.
At last I snatched them back and cried,
"How could you be so slow?"
"(Name)," He said,
"What could I do? You never did let go."
I Said A Prayer
I said a prayer for you today, (Name),
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart,
although He spoke no word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame,
I knew you wouldn't mind.
I asked Him to send treasures,
Of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He'd be near you,
At the start of each new day.
To grant you health and blessings,
And friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you,
In all things great and small.
But it was His loving care,
I prayed for most of all.
Miracles
You are a witness to many miracles,
This fact you may not know.
If you'll open your eyes to God's wonders,
These miracles will be shown.
The miracle of friendship,
The miracle of true love.
The miracle of laughter,
The miracle of our tears.
The miracle of our growing, and maturing o're the years,
The miracle of each loved one.
The miracle of joy that comes with the miracle
Of a newborn girl or boy.
Oh, let us focus our clouded eyes,
On miracles all'round.
For whenever we can see clearly,
God's miracles can be found.
Unfailing Grace
I find comfort for each care,
Wrapped in a promise wondrous fair.
No matter what the grief or pain,
There will be sunshine after the rain.
A softest rainbow spans the sky.
A symbol He keeps watch on high.
If we abide in Him each day,
We can never lose our way.
Immortal love through time to be,
Is what He planned for you and me.
Accept His help, (Name), turn not away,
There is new hope in God each day.
