Ladies ~ ... today I ask you to pray for my loved friend, who has had a very sad & unexpected loss in her life that leaves hearts so very heavy.
Dear Lord, we ask you to receive this precious soul to be with you forever ... hold this soul in your arms of love. Bless & lift this family. Amen!

BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER
'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'
When I say..... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living;'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say.... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess..
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou;
I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!
Pretty is as pretty does... But beautiful is just plain beautiful!
