That was the Night Jesus Came From Dawn

That was the night Jesus came and all through the house, not a person was praying, not one in the house. The Bible was left on the shelf without care, for no one thought Jesus would come there. The children were dressing to crawl into bed, not once ever kneeling or bowing their head. And Mom in the rocking chair with babe on her lap, was watching the Late Show as I took a nap. When out of the east there rose such a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. Away to the window...

God is Always Available

I admit that there are times That I am tempted to despair. Then God speaks in all His mercy To let me know He’s there. He took care of yesterday for me. Tomorrow is in His care.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings, ev’ry doubt will fly, And you will be singing...

Your Angel Will Defend & Protect You

A baby asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small ‘n helpless?” “Your angel will be waiting for you ‘n will take care of you.” The child further inquired, “But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do anything but sing ‘n smile to be happy.” God said, “Your angel will sing for you ‘n will also smile for you. ‘n you will feel your angel’s love ‘n be very happy.” Again the child asked, “‘n how am I going to be able...
