Spiritual Thoughts

Friday Tale: What Do I Have? W hat do I have, Lord that you would need me as a servant? Eyes, he said,  to see the beauty in all that I’ve made —  and my children as they travel life’s highway. Hands, he said,  to reach out and touch hurting souls, to give a hug or encouraging pat on the back. Feet, he said,  to lead my children through this world of strife  and to help them run from sin and follow me. Mouth, he said,  to lift up your voice and sing praises to me  so others may hear the joy in your heart. Ears, he said,  to listen to my still, small voice of love and to hear my children when they cry for help. Heart, he said, so you may know the fullness of my love and love my children as I have loved you. ~ Thomas Butler P raise the Lord! for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and a song of praise is fitting! ~ Psalm 147:1

P raise is sunshine; it warms, it inspires, it promotes growth; B lame and rebuke are rain and hail; they beat down and bedraggle, even though they both at times are necessary. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe T he afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him shall praise the Lord! May your hearts live forever! ~ Psalm 22:26

M y poems are hymns of praise to the glory of life. ~ Edith Stilwell S peak to one another with words of psalms,  hymns, and sacred songs; sing hymns and  psalms to the Lord with praise in your hearts. ~ Ephesians 5:19 (GNB)
