Autumn Blessings ~

Autumn brings to the soul relief,
as hot Summer days slip to an end
God sent the season for weary hearts
to restore, repair and mend.
Unlike the Autumn trees,
that shed their changing leaves
God sent the season for failing hearts
to adhere, embrace and cleave.
Just as with the Autumn winds,
there comes a refreshing rain
God sent the season for fraying hearts
to increase, grow and gain.
The Autumn sun is slow to climb,
and dips earlier into the night
God sent the season for sleepy hearts
to rise, shine and awake in His light.
God gave to us the Autumn season,
so we could have a respite and rest
for it is the season for our beset souls
to see how much we are truly blessed!

“Therefore my heart is glad,
and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest
in hope.”

Autumn Blessings ~

Autumn brings the soul relief,
as hot Summer days slip to an end
God sent the season to weary hearts
so He can restore, repair and mend.
Just as with the Autumn winds,
there comes a new refreshing rain
God sent the season for fraying hearts
so they can mature, grow and gain.
Unlike the Autumn trees,
that shed their changing leaves
God sent the season for wary hearts
so to Him they’d adhere and cleave.
The Autumn sun is slow to climb,
dipping much earlier into the night
God sent the season for sleepy hearts
to rise, shine and awake in His light.
God gave to us the Autumn season,
so we could have a respite and rest . . .
for it is the season for our beset souls
to see how much we are truly blessed!

Before Me Lord ~

Before me Lord,
is where I will set You
before my plans . . .
Yours I will seek to do.
For I trust You Lord,
I’ll follow where You say
for in Your right hand
is where I want to stay.
Before me Lord,
I trust You will go
so the way to me
You, Yourself can show.
For You are my Rock,
nothing can move me
in Your righteous will
is where I want to be.
Before You Lord,
my praises I will sing
my tongue will rejoice
for the hope You bring!
~~~~~~~~
I have set the Lord always
before me: because he is
at my right hand,
I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad,
and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest in hope.

When Feeling Restless ~
When you are restless,
feeling uneasy
when your faith starts going
from strong to measly.
That is when you will need,
to surrender your unrest
to a God who is waiting
to give you perfect rest.
When you feel anxious,
and nervous are your thoughts
when fear starts to churn
your stomach into knots.
That is when you will need,
your heart and mind to adjust
in a God who is able
to strengthen your hope and trust.
When anxiousness comes,
making you feel restless
ask God to bring to you
His peace that is endless!

My Hope Quiets Me ~
My hope quiets me,
when I get restless
it calms me down
if I get breathless.
My Hope never fails,
it keeps me strong
it brings me such comfort
all day and night long.
My hope is in God,
His mercy and favor
my hope is in Jesus
my forever Savior.
My hope elates me,
I’m ever so grateful
it makes me always
eternally thankful.
My hope is in the future,
the things that will come
when Jesus peacefully . . .
sets up His kingdom!
