Everytime I think about,
  what My Gods done for me;
The more I give my life to Him,
  more mercy I can see!

It blows my mind to think how long,
  I ran the other way;
Thank God, My Shepherd found this sheep,
  This one that went astray!

He called my name, then brought me in,
  from sinful life I lived;
He talked to me and paved the way,
  My sins to ALL forgive!

Now each new step I take in life,
  My Lord now close beside;
He walks with me each night and day;
  He matches every stride!

Such joy and grace I've came to know,
  since God came in my soul;
Such hapiness and peace I have,
  Since giving Him control!

When now in life the hard times come,
  His arms are open wide;
He gives me shelter in those arms,
  A loving place to hide!

Now looking toward my Heavenly home,
  since death has lost it's sting;
I'm sheltered now from all life's storms,
  Beneath My Saviour's Wing!!
So here it is a brand new week, a whole new week of love, adventure and blessings, as well as a whole new week of trials and struggles. The greatest thing about being one of His Children is that in good times and especially in those hard or stormy times of life, we have a special place we can go to for shelter and protection! A place we can rest in the peace God's Love brings as well as a safe place to regain our strength to face what comes next in life! You too can find solace here beneath My Saviour's Wings!

Why not stop and take a moment
  Just to think what we'll behold
When we all go Home to Heaven
  Earthly beauty times ten fold!
Picture highest snow-capped mountain
  Eagle soaring high and free
Valleys full of richest fragrance
  Sky as far as eye can see!
Picture canyon's rocky faces
  Water rushing down below
Vast expanse of earthly desert
  Cooling winds begin to blow!
Picture ocean's rippling water
  Salty waves upon the sand
Islands far beyond the breakers
  Skies horizon meets the land!
Picture vast expanse of night sky
  Million stars all shining bright
Watch a yearling take it's first steps
  Baby bird just taking flight!
Picture rich and greenest pasture
  Brook meandering as it wills
Storm clouds gathering in the distance
  Lightning dances in the hills!
Picture all this times ten million
  Then in Heaven you will find
That My God has kept His best for
  His Own Heavenly Design!
Have you ever stopped to think if God put so much care in the beauty of His earthly creations, what more does He have in store for us in His Own Heavenly design?

My God went there, prepared a Home
A mansion in the sky
What glory and splendor we'll behold
The very day we die!
We'll all rise up when trumpet sounds
To take Our Saviour's Hand
He'll guide us Home right through those clouds
To Home in Beulah Land!
We'll stop in awe at massive gates
Huge pearls swing open wide
That's but the entrance to our Home
Go on now, step inside!
Your mouth will drop right when you see
The sights of Glory Land
When beauty melds with Heaven's sound
Of Angels in His band!
Take in the sights, soak up the sounds
And stroll down streets of gold
But watch real close 'cause soon you'll see
Your loved ones there to hold!
Now grab their hands and don't lose pace
There's so much more to see
You've yet to meet Him face to face
  My Lord, The Prince of Peace!
These words can't even start to show
What glory that will be
That moment when those trumpets sound
From Heaven's Jubilee!
Are you looking for that day? Are you prepared? What will you think when we finally hear Heaven's Jubilee?

Yes He'll bend and try to break me,
   yet with strength I will not fold;
As Job said it in The Scriptures,
   "I will come forth as gold!"
He'll put me through life's fires,
   He'll hold my feet to flame;
Yet that which doesn't break me
   Will help me bear the pain!

He'll take some loved ones from me,
   my broken heart so sad;
He'll see me through those troubled times
   with gentle guiding hand!

Oh yes, My Lord knows just what's best,
   He's always in control;
And just when seems He left me there,
   Such strength and peace He'll show!

At times He'll give us crosses,
   each one of us to bear;
But if we leave them at His feet,
   true mercy He will share!

My God's the Master of everything,
   He'll turn your life around;
Since now I've give my ALL to Him
   True peace and love I've found!

Although I still face trials in life,
   with God I'm standing bold-
He now has turned my scars of past,
   to shiny bars of gold!!
At times we all have went astray at some point in our lives, some of us far more than others. We now have a choice to return to the past sins or turn our scars of the past into brands of a survivor!

You've gone on before me
   I'm feeling so down
Though one day in Heaven
   I'll see you around
We'll shout out with singing
   On Heaven's bright shore
With you in my arms
  Together once more!
We'll praise My Dear Saviour
   And look on His face
Together we'll thank Him
   For His love and grace
Our hearts will be mended
    Our sorrows all gone
With you right beside me
    All crying is done.
We'll walk through the Heavens
    On streets of pure gold
We'll have perfect bodies
   To hug and to hold.
We'll sit and just listen
   To Heavenly Band
We'll gather our crowns
   With Jesus we'll stand
We'll cross through that river
   Our mansions we'll see
To hold you forever
   What glory will be!
I now live each day for
   That moment just when
Those trumpets will sound
   And I'll see you again!!
When one of our loved ones goes to Heaven before us or before what we feel is "their time to go", so many times Christians get bitter at God with the pain of grief and loss.  Even though it hurts beyond words, we can rest in the thought that with the Gift of Salvation, we are only apart for a short time. Yes one day soon we will see our loved ones walking pain and sorrow free beyond those Heavenly gates of Glory! God has given me these words about this thought. I pray that you too can find some comfort in these words:

It's all because My Saviour lives
I once was lost but now forgiven
When on that Cross He bore my sins
Then woke from dead now He is risen!
It's all because My Jesus saves
He reached in sin, loosed Satan's binds
He pulled me out the Devil's grip
So now I live by His design!
It's all because He can forgive
That now I've got a second chance
To walk with Him each night and day
No matter what the circumstance!
It's all because My God is there
To catch me every time I fall
He stood by me as sin I trod,
He'll stand by me at judgement call!
It's all because My Saviour bled
He washed away my every sin
He picked me up and rescued me
Now to live each day for Him!
It's all because My Jesus knows
Each weak or faltered step I take
He holds me up and strengthens me
As now I live for His Name's sake!
It's all because My Saviour cares
He's gone before, prepared my Home
My heart He's filled with so much joy
Just thinking 'bout that place I'll roam!
It's all because My Jesus loves
He leads me, guides us and forgives
He makes me want to shout and sing-
"It's ALL because MY SAVIOUR LIVES!"

The words "true love" can mean so much
If loving that right girl
She'll turn your nights to sunny days
She'll rock your whole wide world!
Her love is like vast rolling hills
Grass blowing in the breeze
The scent of springtime wafting in
To set your mind at ease!
Her strength is like a lightning bolt
Loud crash of thunderous roar,
The power behind a mighty breeze
An  anchor cast on shore!
Her beauty so magnificent
Like mountains capped with snow
As suns horizon meets the land
A sunsets peaceful glow!
Her touch, a soft and tender touch
A drop of gentle rain
It brings such joy into your heart
Her touch can ease sheer pain!
Her hearts so full of tenderness
It beats to show her love
A precious package sent to me
From Heavenly Father above!
So now you see how rich I am,
In love I've got the world!
Since finding her I have it ALL-
My gem, My precious pearl!
