We all know the saying ‘When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.’ Truth is, lemonade needs more than lemons. It needs sugar, water and ice. Just like a bad situation. In order to make it “lemonade” you need 3 more things. Hope, Faith, and Perseverance. Let all your lemons turn into lemonade.
My friend has brought me here.
25 years ago
Darren ... just a boy
Knew Jesus.
Asked me if I did....
"No, He isn't real," I said.
And as I said it,
I hoped He didn't hear me
Darren was a friend
Who told me about his best friend.
A friend has brought me here.
Many years later,
A tiny child
Not yet human in the eyes of some,
Asked for life.
"He's gone," they said.
"He's here," I said.
And I prayed to Him
For the first time ever.
He heard me, the child lived
And is now a young man.
His life has brought me here.
Jesus, you are real.
You are my friend.
The friend who brought me here.
Amen.
When I seek to refine The thoughts in my mind; When I unwind my thoughts Of what your love brought; When that love in my soul In pain takes its toll; I shall impart to you The whole of myself. You know what I've felt, Now you will pursue To throw off the beast Whose pain does not cease. When my whole self finds peace To you I am released
The requiem of the Earth has played so long, The beat of hearts has swelled to a tattoo While the world produced a keening song. But I compose the words which see me through: The lyrics to the sad and mournful cry Which show that sorrow is simply a lie.
I am At rest My mind Undressed Your mind Alight The thoughts Incite
