Tuesday Afternoon Poem: "Verses upon the Burning of our House" by Anne Bradstreet

Verses upon the Burning of our House

In silent night when rest I took,

For sorrow near I did not look,

I wakened was with thundering noise

And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice.

That fearful sound of "Fire" and "Fire,"

Let no man know, is my desire.

I, starting up, the light did spy,

And to my God my heart did cry

To strengthen me in my distress,

And not to leave me succorless.

Then coming out, behold a space

The flame consume my dwelling place.

And when I could no longer look,

I blest His name that gave and took,

That laid my goods now in the dust;

Yea, so it was, and so 'twas just.

It was His own; it was not mine.

Far be it that I should repine.

He might of all justly bereft,

But yet sufficient for us left.

When by the ruins oft I passed

My sorrowing eyes aside did cast

And here and there the places spy

Where oft I sat and long did lie.

Here stood that trunk, and there that chest;

There lay that store I counted best,

My pleasant things in ashes lie,

And them behold no more shall I.

Under thy roof no guest shall sit,

Nor at thy table eat a bit;

No pleasant tale shall e'er be told,

Nor things recounted done of old;

No candle e'er shall shine in thee,

Nor bridegroom's voice e'er heard shall be.

In silence ever shall thou lie.

Adieu, Adieu, all's vanity.

Then straight I 'gin my heart to chide:

And did thy wealth on earth abide?

Didst fix thy hope on mouldring dust?

The arm of flesh didst make thy trust?

Raise up thy thoughts above the sky

That dunghill mists away may fly.

Thou hast a house on high erect;

Framed by that mighty Architect,

With glory richly furnished

Stands permanent though this be fled.

It's purchased, and paid for, too,

By him who hath enough to do-

A price so vast as is unknown,

Yet, by His gift, is made thine own.

There's wealth enough; I need no more.

Farewell, my pelf; farewell, my store;

The world no longer let me love.

My hope and treasure lie above.

I Will Not Be Moved by Natalie Grant 

I love this song because it demonstrates determination to serve God despite faults and draw backs. Draw backs can teach us a great deal.

Tuesday Afternoon Poems: "Casting My Care" By M.S.Lowndes

Casting My Care

Lord I continually set before you

My requests and all my needs

With thanksgiving I come unto you

My concerns unburdened to thee

I wait for your intervention Lord

In quietness of soul and mind

And worship at your footstool

Leaving my cares behind

And Lord I express my thanks for you

For all you are to me

I thank you Lord that I matter to you

Though at times I cannot see

Because of the circumstances in life

The things that I go through

I find my eyes are on the storm

When they should be looking to you

So help me Lord each precious day

No matter what life brings me

To carry on with hope and faith

And to rest in you with peace.

Verse of The Week: "There is salvation in no one else!"

11. For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says,

‘The stone that you builders rejected

has now become the cornerstone.’[c]

12.  There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”

Acts 4:11-12 (NLT)

Amazing Grace ( My Chains Are Gone) by Chris Tomlin.

Tuesday Afternoon Poem

WHAT MAKES A DAD

God took the strength of a mountian,

The majesty of a tree,

The warmth of a summer sun,

The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,

The comforting arm of night,

The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagles flight,

The joy of a morning in spring,

The faith of a mustard seed,

The patience of eternity,

The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,

When there was nothing more to add,

He knew his masterpiece was complete,

And so, He called it ... Dad

Monday Afternoon Verse: "Faith is Needed to Please God"

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."

Hebrews 11:6  (NIV)

 

We pray, fast, give and sacrifice so much  for Christ, but the greatest pleasure that we can give, is having faith in God. Getting to know Him and bringing Him contentment in the service that you render, requires trust. You must have faith to build the bond and faith to keep that bond alive. I pray that faith permeates your soul.

Father's Day Poem: My Father Is A Christian by Joanna Fuchs

My Father Is A Christian

My father is a Christian;

He leads our household well;

With instruction from the Bible,

Right behavior he'll compel.

Yet he steers us with compassion;

His gentle love is true;

He conforms to our Lord Jesus,

So we know just what to do.

He teaches us with purpose,

Guides us in all Godly ways,

So we will take the right path,

And serve our Lord with praise.

I'm glad you're a Christian, Dad;

You help me see things clearly.

I'll always look up to you,

And love you very dearly.

- Joanna Fuchs

Father and Son

7.)  The king proclaims the Lord’s decree:

“The Lord said to me, ‘You are my son.[a]

Today I have become your Father.[b]

8.)  Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,

the whole earth as your possession.

 

Psalm 2:7-8

New Living Translation (NLT)

 
 

Remember my brothers and sisters in Christ that we have a Father in Heaven that wishes to gives us  salvation.

Father of Compassion

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; (NIV) 

Psalm 103:13

 

Father's Day Quote of The Day

"Father to the fatherless,

defender of widows -

this is God,

whose dwelling is holy.

God places the lonely in families;


He sets the prisoners free


and gives them joy.


But He makes the rebellious


live in a sun-scorched land."

- (Psalm 68:5-6, NLT)

Father's Day Quote

 "A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society."
