Joy Overflowing

Fulfill the joy that has been afforded to you,
And rejoice in everything you do.
The joy that by none can be taken,
Even though your world might be shaken.

Things may arise to steal your joy,
But God fulfilling, nothing else can employ.
Joy like fountains gushing out of me,
And it is because Jesus died for thee.

Joy, I will let the whole world know,
That my Lord has called me forth to go.
Bright and indwelling, this joy I am telling,
No darkness can cover, no evil dispelling.

Jesus gave me the joy of my salvation,
And He changed my eternal destination.
Joy from me is overflowing,
Because my Jesus, I am knowing.

This joy is yours to share,
If Christ, you have given your soul to care.
For joy is not found on this mortal plane,
But in Christ, He for our sins was a slain.

Mother's Day

Today we celebrate the one person that has brought us into the world, and cared for us till we could stand on our own two feet. A mother's love is important to every child, and many children do not have that privilege, because the women that have babies do not take responsibility for their actions. A mother's duties are never done and that she knows very well. She does not fall easily under this burden, but there are times that it can be overwhelming. I ask that every child treat their mothers with respect on this day, even if you don't on any other day. If there are any issues between you and your mother, please try to resolve those issues today. I am thankful for my mother and rejoice with her in her motherhood. Thank you, Mother for what you have done over these years, and for what you are still doing. If you are in a situation that you don't know what to do ask your mother. Proverbs 31 definitely describes a mother. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers.

Holy

Holiness none can know,
But God in our presence show.
For God, His thoughts above,
That He would consider us in love.

Holy, Holy, we proclaim,
Because that is His name.
We live and die by Him,
And we are called out of them.

Holiness that we cannot attain,
But it is our continual refrain.
For He is High and Holy,
And we are humbled and lowly.
