I would not change a single thing
it is exactly as should be
and with a sigh and great relief
face all my God would have for me
it's knowing God goes with me
that this day holds His design
it may be filled with laughter
or tears may be entwined
our days here may be shortened
on earth our temperal home
or days may see us old and grey
as on this earth we roam
the secret lies in trusting
He knows what's best for me
that He will lead and guide me on
to all He's dreamed I'd ever be
with one hand in the Master's
my gaze set fast on Him
His joy abounding endless
His peace that rests within
I face this gift we call today
with all its unknown possibilites
and like a child on Christmas morn
consider love's great probabilities
He has my very best in mind
sweet fellowship will be His plan
together we will catch a star
or do anything I think I can
I 'm not sure I'll move a mountain
or swim the deepest sea
but I know how good this day will be
because my Jesus walks with me
today
my favourite things
Oh, my, yes, He does walk with us. Wherever, whenever, however. He is there. It is fun to see how He works things out. Ah the perspective many years of walking with Him have given. He is ever-faithful and always good. It makes you want to sing, doesn't it? I must go tune that old guitar that has laid too long under my bed. You are an inspiration, Susan!
ReplyDeleteI want to hear you sing and play :)
DeleteYour poem has me all teared up-I can't see to type! So beautiful, and just exactly what I needed to read today. Bless you. Love, Debra
ReplyDeleteHave a very blessed 2013 Debra! HE has good plans for you <3
DeleteThat is one of my favorite pictures, Susan. :-) It gives me such a lovely feeling of acceptance and peace, and always makes me smile. :-) Thank you. xo
ReplyDeleteIt blessed me also to see my grandkiddies feel such feelings as you express here with their love of Pooh & friends. A blessed new year to you my dear Rambling Tart.
DeleteThis is beautiful, Susan

I think this is something I need to live on for a while.... I need to confess this over and over again. Over my own life, and over the lives of my family members. I find I hit a brick wall when I try to do things on my own... How much easier will it be if I just learn to trust Him. Fully. Always.
Blessings

(I am not too old to admit that I have a Pooh blanket, a Pooh throw, a whole Pooh bedding set, Pooh stuffed toys, Pooh wall decorations, Pooh shower curtain hooks, Pooh stickers .... lol)
