An old man, traveling a lone highway,
Came at the evening cold and gray,
To a chasm deep and wide.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
For the sullen stream held no fears [...]

There was once a man who smiled
…Because the day was bright,
…Because he slept at night,
…Because God gave him sight
To gaze upon his child;
…Because his little one,
…Could leap and laugh and run;
…Because the distant sun
Smiled on the earth he smiled.
-
He smiled because the sky
…Was high above his head,
…Because the rose was red,
…Because the past was dead!
He [...]

I did not meet God in the noonday
Of fervent labor though so sweet;
Nor in the evening shadowed light
When the laboring had brought defeat.
I did not meet God in the midnight hour
Nor feel His Presence, O so sweet;
For I had failed to meet Him at the Dawning
And rest in Him complete.
I met God in the [...]

Thank you Lord …

for my son’s schooling going well, so far.
for a new bracelet in the mail.
for a new bunny to love (You’re nobody till some bunny loves you).
that my husband loves me even when I’m an emotional mess.
for the free books I received through Christian Fiction Blog Alliance.
that I didn’t get the virus my [...]

What is home without a Bible?
‘Tis a place where day is night,
For o’er life’s beclouded pathway
Heaven can shed no kindly light.
What is home without a Bible?
‘Tis a place where daily bread
For the body is provided,
But the soul is never fed.
What is home without a Bible?
‘Tis a vessel on the sea,
Compass lost and rudder broken,
Drifting, drifting, [...]

No matter how the storms may rage
Upon the sea of life,
No matter how the waves may beat,
No matter what the strife;
The Lord is just the same today
As when He walked the Sea,
And He can conquer every storm
That life may send to thee.
The waves are raging everywhere
And men are sore distressed,
But all they need is found [...]

O for a faith that will not shrink
Though pressed by many a foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of poverty or woe.
That will nor murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But in the hour of grief or pain
Can lean upon its God.

A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without,
That when in danger knows [...]

God loved the world of sinners lost,
And ruined by the fall.
Salvation full, at highest cost,
He offers free to all.
Love brings the glorious fulness in,
And to His saints makes known
The blessed rest from inbred sin,
Through faith in Christ alone.
~Mrs. M. Stockton

I know not if tomorrow’s way
Be steep or rough;
But when His hand is guiding me,
That is enough.
And so, although the veil has hid
Tomorrow’s way,
I walk with perfect faith and trust,
Through each today.
The love of God has hung a veil
Around tomorrow.
That we may not its beauty see
Nor trouble borrow.
But, oh, ’tis sweeter far, to trust
His unseen [...]

So, then, to every man his chance –
to every man, regardless of his birth,
his shining, golden opportunity –
to every man the right to live,
to work,
to be himself,
and to become whatever thing his manhood and his vision can combine to make him–
this, seeker, is the promise of America.
~ Thomas Wolfe
