Hope


Today could be the day,

that loved ones bow and pray,

That all who've gone astray

will find Your precious way.

Yes.

Today could be the day.


And today might bring the sound

of a trumpet all around,

As Jesus' love abounds

and He lifts us from the ground.

Yes.

Today might bring the sound.

Thank You Lord



Thank You Lord,

I can do this day,

Thank You  Lord,

I can walk and pray.

Thank You Lord,

by my side You'll stay.


Thank You Lord, 

I can take one step,

Thank You Lord,

You have paid my debt,

Thank You Lord,

You have said don't fret


Thank You Lord,

for this could be the day,

Thank You Lord,

when You take us away,

Thank You Lord,

by Your side we will stay.

At His Side



The safest place is at God's side

and there beneath His wings I hide.


The strongest place is where He keeps

His little ones, His own dear sheep.


The highest path is His sure way

so follow Him and never stray.


***


Pure Joy




Wind rages, branches whip

Cold darkness envelopes the garden

But here, black cat and I

purr and rejoice

in Your Presence.


***


Waiting


I'm waiting for Jesus,

my hope is secure:

With patience and joy,

I'll work and endure


Waiting and hoping,

expecting the Lord:

Trusting and dwelling

in His sure Word.


***


Sing!



I praise and thank Thee

for this day;

for all rich blessings

on my way.

And now I lift my voice and sing

for my dear God

can do all things.


***


Refuge



Through tumult

War

and crazy things

I nestle safe

beneath His

Wings.

Psalm 46:1-11 ESV
[1] God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. [2] Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, [3] though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah [4] There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. [5] God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. [6] The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. [7] The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah [8] Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. [9] He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. [10] “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” [11] The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story

  The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story Dear Readers, Here is a gift from me to you. "The Searching" is a story which has been puttering around in my heart for awhile. It nearly didn't get written though, as I was a bit unsure as to whether I could get it to work. But God is faithful, and He gave me both the inspiration and the words. There were a few times when I nearly gave up, but now, I'm so glad that I didn't. It's one of my favourites, and I hope that you enjoy it too.  *** Previous cover The Searching: A Novella *** By Alison Lawrence *** Copyright Copyright owner: Alison Lawrence. 2024 All rights reserved.

The Conversation. A Free Short Story

  The Conversation  Gavin was so absorbed in his book, that he barely noticed that the train had stopped at a station. "Mind if I sit here?" He looked up. A young woman with friendly freckles across her nose and wide brown eyes stood in the aisle. He nodded, then smiled faintly and she quickly stowed her large backpack. "I'm Sybil." The young woman offered. "Thanks." "No problem. Travelling to Barton?"  "Nope. It's Dunmore I'm headed for. You?" "Same." Gavin was cautious. He wasn't sure he felt like a chatty companion. He'd been looking forward to finishing his book. It had hooked him from the first chapter. But thankfully, Sybil didn't bubble on. She just smiled before taking her own book out.  Gavin went back to his reading, not without noticing that it was a Bible that Sybil had opened. Unusual.   Sybil glanced towards him. She liked to study people, and would often strike up a conversation in the ho...

Too Much. Thoughts of a Mom

  Too Much Dear Reader, So often, I have felt this way: that I simply cannot make it. The burdens have grown too heavy. The pain is too great. The disappointment too crushing. It seems like every morning I take some time to feel very sorry for myself. No. I simply do not have the strength for anything. Perhaps staying in bed would be a good idea. But then, I remember. He has reminded me many times. "Give each load you carry to Me. Put it in a basket and float it on the Nile. Bring it to the strong tower. It will be safe with Me. Place it on the Rock which cannot move. Lay your burdens at the foot of the cross. Lay them in My arms." Yes, Lord. I will . "Good." And then another whisper: "Just one day, child. Just one step at a time." Yes, Lord, I can do that with You at my side, holding my hand. But Lord, what about tommorow? "Don't worry, child. We will do this again each morning. And you will make it. One day at a time." *** Matthew 11:28. ...
