Song playing:
is Aria De Mezzo
When I hear this Aria I think of
myself floating up to Heaven with
the purist of white gosimer wings
Where it is peacefull and filled with love
THOUGHTS
By Marie Schneider
Psalm 34: 17-18
The Lord hears good people when they cry out to him,
and he saves them from all their troubles.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted,
and he saves those whose spirits have been crushed.
God help me to watch the sun set in the west
without regret and to hail it's advent in the
east with hope in my heart
To have enough to share and to know the joy of
giving in Your Name.
To thrill with all the sweetness that life can
bring to me.
Let me take time to think, for it is the source of
power and reason
Let me make time to play, for it is the secret of
perpetual youth
May I find time to read, as it is the fountain of
wisdom and truth.
May I take time to pray, for it is the greatest power
against adversity that we have on earth.
May I learn to be friendly, as it is the road to
happiness and brotherhood.
May I learn to laugh, as it is the glorious music of
my soul
May I labor to work, as it is the price of success
Give me the will to be charitable, for it is the key to
heaven's door.
Give me the pleasure to love and be loved, for it is
a God given privelige.
I shall pass through this life but once, please let me
show kindness and compassion to a fellow human being,
not for selfish gain, but because we are all of the
same flesh
and let me do ths now, for I shall not pass this way
again.
Help me to fight my human short comings and to know
right from wrong according to Your teachings.
Help me to recognize and separate spirtual love
from human lust.
Help to see my own weaknesses so I may strengthen
the weak
Help me to understand the meaning of love and what
it wills to me
Help me to protect that love as I feel it in my heart
from critism
for love wears many faces, but only one identity
which is pure, untarnished by worldy desire and craddled
gently in Your arms
Teach me to understand and grow and never look
back into the darkness of the past, but ahead to
Your ever lasting light
Teach me to believe in myself, and that I am worthy
of love, though my body may be twisted by mortal
flaw, I am perfect in Your eyes
Teach me how to be an angel, so that I can better
understand how to be human
For everything there is a season
and a time for every
matter under the heavens
A time to be born and a time to die
A time to break down and a time to build up.
A time to weep and a time to laugh.
A time to cast away stones and a time to gather
stones together.
A time to mourn and a time to rejoyce.
A time to keep and a time to cast away.
A time to forgive and a time to be forgiven.
A time to hurt and a time to heal.
A time for dispair and a time to turn to You.
A time to fight and a time to quietly put
down our arms and give up our battle to Your glory.
May there be a season for me Lord, that I may
find peace
Help me to find friendship, for it is a comfort,
the inexpressible comfort within our very being
of feeling safe and familiar with someone,
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,
but pouring all right out, just as they are,
chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful
caring hand will take and sift through,
keep what is worth keeping with a breath of
understanding and love blow the rest away.

Writer's Note:
Dear Lord,
You continue sending such turbulance into
my solace life such arduous tests of strength.
I am so tired, I want to put down my sword but
I must not show defeat. I must stand fast and
strong. I will not be shaken in my faith. I will
continue to find the courgage to to disarm the
enemy that does battle with my heart and my trust.
Sometimes I have to ask whether it's friend or
foe that enters my life bearing gifts and a smile
Though afraid to trust I give my heart only to
find pain once again
But my LORD,I will go on with my journey for it is
not yet over for me on earth. I shall find my peace
in Your will for my life and if You find that I
already have the love meant for me, then I will
accept my fate in my deepest loneliness and go on
with you at my side with the knowledge and promise
that my suffering will make me perfect in Your
Paradise. My reward is yet to be found in a better
place where no one can touch me, no one can hurt
me ever again.
And so I ask God to grant me the serenity to accept
the things that I can't change,
The courage to change the things that I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
