Kindness in this world will do much to help others, not only to come into the light, but also to grow in grace day by day.
From Colossians 1:5-6: “Because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, you have heard of this hope before in the word of the truth, the gospel that has come to you. Just as it is bearing fruit and growing in the whole world, so it has been bearing fruit among yourselves from the day you heard it and truly comprehended the grace of God.”
Fanny Crosby (1820-1915) was an American mission worker, poet, lyricist, and composer. Her prolific creation of hymns and gospel songs produced over 8,000 finished works.
Fall’s invitation
Fulfilling countryside drive—
Witnessing brilliance
Autumn’s gifted day
Shaping life before our eyes—
Mum’s changing colors
Tree-lined avenue
Passing cars stirring up leaves—
Landscape swirls about

Replenishing parched, barren land
Serenity’s rain, from God’s hand
Quenching desert’s eternal thirst
Nature smiling, joy now disbursed
Nourishing life with loving pride
Flora and fauna, at God’s side
Touching each leaf, stems from God’s love
Hues of green, colored from above
Singing with praise, birds bless this scene
Creation glowing, dazzling sheen
Sharing splendor, feeling at peace
Morning rain, grants life a new lease
Listening closely, hearing now
God’s serenity, takes a bow

You know someone is truly special when the most beautiful thing they have one is a kind soul.
If you have no one, you are poor; if you have an acquaintance, you are fortunate; if you have a friend, you are privileged; if you have a lover, you are rich; if you have a soulmate, you are wealthy.

Hearing Christ’s invite
Come now, rest a spell
Witnessing His delight
Tasting each morning
Sweetness of His grace
Reading Father’s Word
Peace fills this very place
Blessed morning time
Taking faithful walk
Christ offers His love
Trusting salvation’s rock
Finding morning’s truth
Gospel’s foundation
Maturing in faith
Father’s new creation
Tomorrow morning
Gathering again
Precious time with Christ
Praising His lasting reign
From Lamentations 3:22-23: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
