Your Comfort Was Still Greater By Far
 
Lord, I never dreamed life could be so hard
for there are many trials I've had to face.
But I also had no clue the things I could do
because of You and your immeasurable grace.
 
And Lord, I'm so glad I've never known the future
for that knowledge is better kept in Your hand.
It is truly much better to live a-day-at-a-time
through those valleys I don't understand.
 
As hard as life gets...I can still say the heartaches
were the things that taught my soul to sing.
For they drew me ever closer to the preciousness
of You and reassured me I was under Your wing.
 
All the hard things of life have truly served a purpose...to drive my heart from the things of this earth. For no trial can compare to the promises of eternity and all the glory your Presence is worth.
 
Had I never climbed these mountains, I would have never known how much strength You alone can supply. For your sweet, Holy Spirit put the wind in my steps to pick me up when I was broken and dry.
 
I shall not be bitter for the things You've allowed
for you've shown me just how wonderful You are.
And for each season of suffering, sorrow or pain
...Your comfort was still greater by far.
Amen

And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations,
knowing that tribulation produces perseverance,
and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 
Now hope does not disappoint, because the
love of God has been poured out in our hearts
by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Romans 5:3-5 NKJV
 
 
 
A Personal Note From Me
 
Here is a good idea to ponder at the
 end of each day. Instead of pitying
ourselves, have we reached out to others?
 
Thank God, that we know Jesus as our
personal Savior. Many people have
no hope, or anyone to turn to......
 
Will you be willing to be the person they
 can turn to? God is looking for someone to
reach out to others. Will you be that person
 today, to answer that call?
 
Love, Mrs. P
 
"At Days End"


Is anybody happier because you passed his way??
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today The day is almost over and its toiling time is through, Is there anyone to utter now, a kindly word of you?


Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's
slipping fast That you helped a single brother of the Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said? Does the man whose hopes were fading, now with courage look ahead?

 
Did you waste the day or lose it,? Was it well, or
sorely spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness, or
a scar of discontent? As you close your eyes to
slumber, do you think that God will say,
You have earned one more tomorrow, by the
work you did today?

~~Scriptures~~
 
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and
My fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.
Psalm 91;2

When you pass through the waters, I will be
 with you; And when you pass through the
rivers, they will  Not sweep over you. When
you walk through the fire, You will not be
burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the LORD, your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior-
Isaiah 43:2-3
