I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an
Angel was showing me around. Here all petitions to God said in
prayer are received." * This is just the beginning of a thoughtful piece. I borrowed it just to introduce my message for todayIf we cultivate a habit of looking for the blessing in our life. Remembering to list them one by one before we go to sleep each night I would be willing to bet that our list would soon grow bigger with each passing day. No matter how difficult your life is at the moment you can find some thing to thank God for. Maybe He will help us to learn how to make lemonade when life deals us a lemon.

This Is The First Day of The Rest of My life

This is the first day of the rest of my life.
Many years were spent as a mother and a wife.
I can not count the many lonely nights.
Don’t remember all the endless days.
Lots of different roads I traveled
My paths went many different ways.
Don’t have much to show for my life
Or for the sum total of my days.
No Fame or Fortune ever came my way.
No gold metals were ever won.
I know even less right now today ,
Then when this journey first begun.
So when I get to meet my God,
Maybe He will explain to me His plan.
And if I ever failed Him in some way,
I can only hope that He will understand.
For only He has known the secret of my heart,
For only He has looked deep within my soul.
Although I may be getting ready to depart
Only He knows , if I have achieved my goal
So even if I never any earthly accolades won.
Or the world has never known me by my name.
I hope to hear His voice saying "Well done "
When I have arrived safely home again.
