I will, like: Paul - Forget those things which are behind and press forward. David - Lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from which cometh my help. Abraham - Trust fully in my God Enoch - Walk in daily fellowship with my Heavenly Father. Moses - Choose rather to suffer...than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Daniel - Commune with my God at all times. Job - Be patient under all circumstances. Caleb & Joshua - Refuse to be discouraged because of the big crowds against me. Joseph - Stay true under all temptations to lead me astray. Gideon - Advance even though my friends be few. Aaron & Hur - Uphold the hands of my spiritual leaders. Isaiah - Consecrated myself to do God's work Andrew - Strive to lead my brother into a closer walk with Christ. John - Lean upon the bosom of the Master and imbibe of His Spirit. Stephen - Manifest a forgiving spirit toward all who seek my hurt. Timothy - Study the Word of God. The Heavenly Host - Proclaim the message of peace on earth and good will to men. Jesus - Overcome all earthly allurements by refusing to succumb to their enticement. Realizing that I cannot hope to achieve these objectives by my own strength, I will rely upon Christ, for "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." ~The Gospel Minister This is such a sweet poem, I hope you all enjoy and that it brings back many wonderful memories of all the things your mom taught me; I know it did for me! 
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I thought it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite cake just for me, and I knew that little things are special things. When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a prayer, and I believed there is a God I could always talk to. When you thought I wasn't looking, I felt you kiss me goodnight, and I felt loved. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be. When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked...and wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking. |

Sarah GraceI am just an ordinary girl who is loved by an extraordinary God and I seek to love others the same way. I love to bake, read, do puzzles, watch Hallmark movies, and go shopping with my mom! This blog was created as a place where I could share some thoughts that the Lord has shown me and to be an encouragement to others who desire to know Him in a deeper way. My prayer is to learn to sit still and trust God with my future. Archives
