A CHILD'S HYMN\nCharles Dickens\n\nHear my prayer, O heavenly Father,\nEre I lay me down to sleep;\nBid Thy angels, pure and holy,\nRound my bed their vigil keep.\n\nMy sins are heavy, but Thy mercy\nFar outweighs them, every one;\nDown before Thy cross I cast them,\nTrusting in Thy help alone.\n\nKeep me through this night of peril\nUnderneath its boundless shade;\nTake me to Thy rest, I pray Thee,\nWhen my pilgrimage is made.\n\nNone shall measure out Thy patience\nBy the span of human thought;\nNone shall bound the tender mercies\nWhich Thy Holy Son has bought.\n\nPardon all my past transgressions,\nGive me strength for days to come;\nGuide and guard me with Thy blessing\nTill Thy angels bid me home.

Thankful for Him and all that He's done for me.\nGrateful for His providence and for making Himself known through His word.\nReassured by His promises.\nProtected, forgiven, humble, bold, loved, uplifted, joyous, peaceful because of His love.\n\n\n\nThis is for Margaretfong2:  My parents were highly perfectionistic and I was born with my hip joins unformed.  They closed in time (you would never know they was a problem today), but when I was a baby and should have been a source of great pride to them, they were ashamed of me.  My mother always used to complain that it took forever to have my younger sister because my father didn't want to have "another deformed baby."  \n\nThey've never really forgiven me for that.  And it was hard to believe that God (or anyone else for that matter) could love me.  And if He loved me, why did He give me parents that didn't.\n\nI think they'll have to answer for their actions.  God wants all children to be loved and cared for.  Their failure was part of that double edged sword of free will.  As an adult I can see the compensatory abilities God gave me.  I wouldn't go back and relive my childhood for everything in the world times two, but I wouldn't trade what I've learned from it, either.\n\nThese are some of the verses that I find comforting when I feel alone:\n\nWhen my father and my mother forsake me,\nThen the LORD will take care of me. Psalm 27:10\n\n\nTherefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. I Peter 5:6-7\n\nAs a father pities his children,\nSo the LORD pities those who fear Him.\nFor He knows our frame;\nHe remembers that we are dust. Psalm 103:13-14\n\nAre not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31\n\nYou number my wanderings;\nPut my tears into Your bottle;\nAre they not in Your book? Psalm 56:8\n\nIn the end, how people treat you is a reflection of who they are, not what you're worth.\n\n(back to Sexy Jim's regularly scheduled question)

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.\n\nI think if you live in constant prayer, constant communication with the LORD, then everything else you need will always be there before you.

Those who wish to be first in the kingdom of Heaven must make themselves last.\n\nThose who are first shall be last and those who are last shall be first.\n\n"WHY SERVE ALL?"\nBecause that's the way it was supposed to be: people loving each other.

I Corinthians 10:12 \n\nAnd so finally after many more months of work, all the sages came back to him, and they had come to a unanimous conclusion that the wisdom of the world could be put into a four-word sentence. They told the king that this sentence expresses much. It is chastening in the hour of pride and consoling in the depths of afflictions. And I've reflected on this sentence this week. The sentence of their wisdom was: "This too shall pass."

1. I'm not going to e-mail you! Just give me my ten points, mate!\n\n2. Here is an old hymn with a similar beginnining.\n\n"Dear Shepherd of Thy People, Hear"\nWords: John Newton, Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779). \nMusic: "Somerset," William Henry Hewlett (1837-1940) \n\nDear Shepherd of Thy people, hear;\nThy presence now display;\nAs Thou hast given a place for prayer,\nSo give us hearts to pray.\n\nO Lord, our languid souls inspire,\nFor here, we trust, thou art!\nSend down a coal of heav'nly fire,\nTo warm each waiting heart.\n\nShow us some token of Thy love,\nOur fainting hope to raise;\nAnd pour Thy blessings from above,\nThat we may render praise.\n\nWithin these walls let holy peace\nAnd love and concord dwell;\nHere give the troubled conscience ease,\nThe wounded spirit heal.\n\nThe feeling heart, the melting eye,\nThe humble mind bestow;\nAnd shine upon us from on high,\nTo make our graces grow!\n\nMay we in faith receive Thy Word,\nIn faith present our prayers;\nAnd, in the presence of our Lord,\nUnbosom all our cares.\n\nAnd may the Gospel's joyful sound\nEnforced by mighty grace,\nAwaken many sinners round,\nTo come and fill the place.\nhttp://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/d/e/dearshep.htm\nhttp://www.blueletterbible.org/hymns/htm_d_e_dearshep.html\n\n 3.

Drink to me only with thine eyes,\nAnd I will pledge with mine;\nOr leave a kiss but in the cup,\nAnd I'll not look for wine.\nThe thirst that from the soul doth rise,\nDoth ask a drink divine:\nBut might I of Jove's nectar sup,\nI would not change for thine.\n\nI sent thee late a rosy wreath,\nNot so much honoring thee,\nAs giving it a hope, that there\nIt could not withered be.\nBut thou thereon did'st only breathe,\nAnd sent'st it back to me;\nSince when it grows and smells, I swear,\nNot of itself, but thee.

My heart has been divided\nThis term please understand.\nMy husband has a fraction,\nOne third is in his hand.\n\nWith the addition of my son,\nMy love grew even more.\nMy heart grew larger,\nTwo thirds now accounted for.\n\nI bore another son,\nNow my love is times three.\nThe equation seems to work,\nMy heart's division completes me.\n\nI have calculated my life,\nThe solution is very clear.\nThe happiness I feel daily,\nIs the love of a family I hold dear.\n\n\nAdditional:\nThx for the thumbs down whomever it was.. now I feel like crap..

Give me a passion for souls, dear Lord,\nA passion to save the lost;\nO that Thy love were by all adored,\nAnd welcomed at any cost.\n\n(Refrain)\nJesus, I long, I long to be winning\nMen who are lost, and constantly sinning;\nO may this hour be one of beginning\nThe story of pardon to tell.\n\nThough there are dangers untold and stern\nConfronting me in the way,\nWillingly still would I go, nor turn,\nBut trust Thee for grace each day.\n\n(Refrain)\n\nHow shall this passion for souls be mine?\nLord, make Thou the answer clear;\nHelp me to throw out the old life line\nTo those who are struggling near.

Amen! God created us FOR HIM- not the other way around.\nAll glory belongs to Him- we do not deserve His wonderful salvation or blessings- yet He does love us- and His ways are the right ways- I love this verse:\n\nPsalm 1:2\nBut his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.\n\nPsalm 119:70\nTheir hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.

Divine Master, grant me the Serenity \nTo accept the things I cannot change, \nThe Courage to change those things that I can, \nAnd the Wisdom to know the difference. \nLiving one day at a time, \nEnjoying one moment at a time, \nAccepting hardship as the Pathway to Peace. \n\nLord, make me an instrument of thy Peace;\nWhere there is hatred, let me sow Love;\nWhere there is injury, Pardon;\nWhere there is doubt, Faith;\nWhere there is despair, Hope;\nWhere there is darkness, Light;\nAnd where there is sadness, Joy.\n\nDivine Master, grant that, I may not so much seek\nTo be consoled as to Console;\nTo be understood as to Understand;\nTo be loved as to Love.\n\nFor it is in Giving that, we receive.\nIt is in Pardoning that we are pardoned,\nAnd it is in dying, we are born to eternal life.\nSo mote it be (Amen).
