All that was ever ours is ours for ever, Glory of greenwood and the shining river, Joy of companionship of kindred mind, All, all, is ours. It is not left behind Among the withered things that must decay, It is stored up…
For a weary night

I promise thee, That I, to whom the pillars of the earth belong, Will bear thee up and keep thy spirit strong.I promise thee, That none shall add a furlong to the mile That thou must walk, through this long little while.…
For a time of fear of failure before the end

May this quote be a blessing to you all this morning!Lest I should faint before the race be run, Lest I should quail before the fight be won, O heavenly Intercessor, and my Lord, Fulfil to me Thy comfortable word- Thy Pe…

Sing heart within me, though no shout ascendeth, No trumpet soundeth on this battle-field. Yet sing, my heart, O sing the Grace that lendeth Courage to stand thy ground and not to yield.Not in me, Lord, Thou knowest, was…
Lest we forget

As near Thy Cross a Garden lay, So, as we follow in the way We find a garden. Pain and loss Were not the last words of the Cross.Beyond the sharpness, and the strife, The Easter lily reigns in life. And singing birds are…
