Because Of Your Goodness Lord

Proverbs 16:7-9
Isaiah 52:7
   
Better a little with righteousness,
than much gain with injustice.
In his heart a man plans his course, but
the Lord determines his steps.

In spite of me Lord,
You accomplish many miracles,
In spite of thoughtlessness and failure,
You still use me to glorify
You in helping others.

Thank you for being patient with me.
Through me Lord, You reach out to
those around me, who are hurting..
to those who need you in their lives
Because of the times I am willing to listen
to You, You are able to accomplish
miracles in others.

So glad I still am fascinated with nature things
Like squirrels, butterflies and all that fall brings
The leafs will turn to some beautiful shades
And they wave at each other....like in a parade

Thank you for helping me to learn and listen.
Because of your goodness Lord and your love,
You have put wings to my prayers
and cleats to my shoes,  to give me speed
and leverage in serving you.
Because of your goodness...You have given me
Your speed, and sureness in the tough times
of life...Thank You Lord

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet
of those who bring good news; who proclaim
peace; who bring good tidings; Who proclaim
salvation.  Who says to Zion "You Oh God reigns".

When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he
makes even his enemies lives at peace with Him.
  
Hope you are blessed
in some small way
