Inspiration

     I Hope This Will Be Our Walk (Beautiful)..... this has been around before, but is still worth reading again. 


                                                                                THANKS TO GOD 

                                                I pray that this will bless you as it blessed me. 

Hello God,
I called tonight
To talk a little while
I need a friend who'll listen
To my anxiety and trial.
You see, I can't quite make it
Through a day just on my own...
I need your love to guide me,
So I'll never feel alone.
I want to ask you please to keep
My family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence
For whatever fate they're bound.
Give me faith, dear God, to face
Each hour throughout the day,
And not to worry over things
I can't change in any way.
I thank you God for being home
And listening to my call,
For giving me such good advice
When I stumble and fall.
Your number, God, is the only one
That answers every time.
I never get a busy signal,
Never had to pay a dime.
So thank you, God, for listening
To my troubles and my sorrow.
Good night, God, I love You too,
And I'll call again tomorrow

The man whispered, "God, speak to me" 

 and a meadowlark sang. 


But, the man did not hear. So the man yelled,
 "God, speak to me" 

and the thunder rolled across the sky. 


But, the man did not listen. The man looked around and said, 
"God let me see you." 
And a star shined brightly. 


But the man did not see. And, the man shouted, 

"God show me a miracle."
 And, a life was born. 



But, the man did not notice. So, the man cried out in despair, 
"Touch me God, and let me know you are here."
 Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.  But, the man brushed the butterfly away  


and walked on.  

I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted ... even in our electronic age . so I would like to add one more: 

The man cried,

"God, I need your help!" 
And an e-mail arrived reaching out
 
with good news and encouragement.
 


But, the man deleted it and continued crying .  

Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect. 

My instructions were to send this to people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you. 

Please pass this to people you want to be blessed. 

Expect the unexpected..... 

Have A Happy Day! 

God is there for us always even when everyone else has betrayed you and left you.

One bleak November day, when I was feeling particularly challenged by life's trials, I was about to get into my car in the driveway when I noticed a butterfly -- a species called "California Sister" -- just sitting there on a branch of a small oak tree. I couldn't believe it! A butterfly? In November?? I was filled with such joy, that my troubles faded immediately!

Beautiful poems, very touching!

These poems are not only very nice but contain some great teachings. Especially the first one which for me is clear that when you need to say something it does not necessarily need to be another person.
