Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

He's Always There

 Happy Sunday

He's Always There

I'm a participant in the adventure of life,
Now, I can make it trouble or I can make it strife.

I can let my face show a scowl or maybe a frown,
When others say things are looking up, I can look down.

But life here is really short, from beginning to end;
The Bible tells me I might expect threescore and ten.

So, I've got to make my life count for something good.

I want to be able to say, I helped all I could.

So, when my time comes to go, and I leave here below,
May friends say that kindness to others did I show.

For I have a Master you can see, most faithful to behold,
And He's building me a home, on a street of pure gold.

So, I'm going to wear a smile, as wide as a country mile.

And I'll share some cheer, before I think of leaving here.

So, if you are feeling low, and life's not being quite fair,
Then left you eyes toward Jesus, for He is always there.

So true! He is always there. I love how your leaves are beginning to turn. I noticed a few pretty yellow dogwood leaves this morning.
