Facing
Inevitable storms
With patient endurance
God walks with us
Faith
Creator’s
Eternal love
Overcoming any obstacle
Persevering with His truth
Faith
Saved
By grace
Bolstered, renewed hope
Filled with God’s glory
Faith
As long as a person keeps his faith in God and in himself, nothing can permanently defeat him.
From Proverbs 24:16: “For though they fall seven times, they will rise again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.”
Too many tasks
Where to begin?
Overwhelming
Life in tailspin
Slowing down, breathe
Dividing tasks
One at a time
Patience unmasks
Never alone
Dad’s words come back
Remembering
Wisdom unpacks
Taking one step
Then another
Bringing success
Like none other
All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story.
No story is innocent. To tell is to put oneself in danger. To remain silent is to isolate yourself.
From Psalm 19:1: “The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims His handiwork.”
Witnessing God’s presence
Singing of His glory
Creation shouts with joy
Reading Bible’s story
Declaring His knowledge
Forming this earthly place
Father’s ageless Word speaks
Filling eternal grace
Blessing heavens above
Seeing Creator’s hand
God’s perfect plan at work
Spanning across this land
Soaring with each sunrise
Praising from empty tomb
Son of God defeats death
Breathing faith, now in bloom
Lasting Word from God’s heart
Covering creation
Blessed rock and refuge
Forming life’s foundation
From Psalm 19:14: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
All the persons of faith I know are sinners, doubters, uneven performers. We are secure not because we are sure of ourselves but because we trust that God is sure of us.
From Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
Holding back anger
Bitterness evaporates—
Speak with tenderness
Truth and honesty
Always being neighborly—
Words share life’s blessings
Choosing words wisely
Filling each one with kindness—
Sweeter than honey
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping-stone. Close the door on the past.
From Proverbs 13:21: “Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous.”

Eager to build more movie memories this night
Do you have any favorite films that you would enjoy watching again? The above films are just a tiny taste of ones that I would enjoy watching again (hmm, I think that I already have).
It is easier to endure than to change. But once one has changed, what was endured is hard to recall.
One can never ask anyone to change a feeling.
