Thoughts
What are thoughts? A thought is what goes on between our ears,
it may bring happiness, it may bring tears. There is an old saying,
man goes as he thinks. His thoughts can lead him either into a gutter or to lofty mountain
peaks. So let’s think good things and the happier we will be,
and keep our mind out of the gutter, that is no place for our thoughts to be.
A LITTLE HYMN ( JUST AS I AM )
Yes, a little hymn brought me down, humbled my heart, and my knees touched the ground. There I asked, forgiveness for my sins that abound, Yes, a little hymn, brought me down. Jesus, lifted me up, hugged me, in His sheltering arms, took me just as I am. Yes, this little hymn brought me down, and now in my heart, the love of Jesus abounds.

Isaiah 40:29-31King James Version (KJV)
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Two Roads
There are two main roads,
main roads in life
I am told,
one leading upward,
to streets of gold.
The other wide,
and spiraling downward
to eternal torment
and forever bound.
So choose the straight
and narrow road,
where Jesus leads
us upward,
to Heavens streets,
many streets of gold.
Painful Steps
Each painful step up Calvary’s hill,
He took His Father’s will to fulfill.
Each painful step was for and me,
Providing us the way to walk into eternity.
Each painful step, each painful blow,
He endured for you and me,
His everlasting love to show.
Each drop of blood He freely gave,
To bare our sins, our souls to save.
The painful spear that pierced His side,
He willfully endured, so with Him we could abide.
Yes, dear soul! Jesus God’s only Son,
Through these painful steps, victory was won.
Jesus endured all this agony and pain,
To defeat Satan and our salvation to gain.
All hail the power of Jesus name,
Thank Him for His victory, we can claim.
He bore the sin of the world; His salvation to bring;
Jesus, the Christ, the Lord of Lords,
And King of Kings.
Day by day, I think about Jesus, about what He has done for me, how he came to earth, to bare my sins on Calvary’s tree. Day by day, I think about Jesus, who in heaven, our home prepares, because of His love and grace, many people will live up there. Day by day, I think about Jesus, victory over Satan did win, and because of that victory, we can be saved from sin. Day by day, I think about Jesus, how He is the Lord of Lords, and King of Kings, and as His children, His praises we should forever sing. Day by day, I think about Jesus, how He came to set me free, Oh! how much I love Him, because He first loved me. Day by day, I think about Jesus, and all He has done for me, then, I want to serve Him faithfully. Day by day, I think about Jesus, Oh! what He means to me, He is my hope, joy and liberty. Day by day, I think about Jesus, Oh! what he can do for you, Jesus wants to save your soul, then day by day, you can think, about Jesus too! —– Winston staples —–
