MY PEACE OF MIND

I got this from a friend’s post on Facebook. It is a simple beautiful prayer worth remembering.

Good morning God,
You are bringing in another day,
Untouched and freshly new.
So here I come to ask you God,
If you'll renew me too.
Forgive the many errors,
That I made yesterday.
And let me try again dear God,
To walk closer in your way.
But Father I am well aware,
I can't make it on my own.
So take my hand and hold it tight,
For I can't walk alone.
Amen.

Listen children to a story
That was written long ago,
About a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley far below.

On this mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own.

Chorus

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
'With our brothers we will share,
All the riches of our mountain,
And the treasure buried there.'

Chorus

Now the valley cried with anger:
'Mount your horses, draw your swords!'
And they killed the mountain people,
And they won their just rewards.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain dark and read,
Turned the stone and looked beneath it,
"Peace On Earth" was all it said.

(Chorus)
Go ahead and hate your neighbour
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
On the bloody morning after..... One tin soldier rides away.

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

“Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, but faith looks up”

Proverbs 16:24

“Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”

John 8:1-11

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?" This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." And once more he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus looked up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again."

“There is no greater value than love. Better to live in a tent on the beach with someone you love than to live in a mansion by yourself. One person caring for another, that's one of life's greatest expressions.”
