George Augustus Moore Quote

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it.

From Joshua 24:15:  “Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

George Augustus Moore (1852-1933) was an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet.  He has often been regarded as the first great modern Irish novelist.

Opening Thy Door

Standing outside door

Holy Son of Man

Knocking and waiting

Sharing Father’s grace plan

 

Conquering darkness

Timeless gift He brings

Coming to serve man

Soaring on eagle’s wings

 

Hearing now His voice

Sacred, divine love

Calling to repent

Witnessing from above

 

Opening thy door

Christ boldly walks in

Showing wounded hands

Forgiving every sin

Monday Memories: Speaking to Thee

This short poem is inspired from two different hymns:  “Lord, Speak to Me, That I May Speak” and “I Love to Tell the Story.”

Telling His true story

Jesus, His glory reigns

Unseen, heaven above

Breaking sinful chains

 

Hungering and thirsting

Weary, endless despair

Message of Salvation

Answering these prayers

 

Firm rock, speaking to thee

Living echoes of hope

Children, lost and alone

Faith walking life’s tightrope

 

Hidden depths, troubled sea

Precious wisdom fills thee

Hearing His glowing words

Loving hand calms the sea

One of my favorite hymns is “Earth and All Stars” which we sang many times at my former church in Montana.  Here is a link for the hymn:

Charles Swindoll Quote

Understand that God, in His sovereignty, places His hand over our lives and allows us to pass through painful experiences that we would never choose or want.  Accepting and learning from them, we grow deeper in Christian life.

From Ecclesiastes 3:14:  “ I know that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it nor anything taken from it; God has done this so that all should stand in awe before Him.”

Rejoice with Praises

From Psalm 118:24:  “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Rejoice with praises

Feeling Father’s love

Trusting in His name

Hope stirs from above

 

Rejoice before God

Writing hope’s new song

Praising His mercy

Days never be long

 

Rejoice in answers

Rising hope greets thee

Blessing one more home

Darkness always flees

 

Rejoice with new day

Walking in God’s grace

Surrounding mercy

Hope’s faithful birthplace

 

Rejoice with praises

Hope’s lifelong quest seeks

Rising from heaven

Flowing waters speak
