Mercy New by Melanie R.

As You wake me in the night,
to speak to me as I write.
Brightness covers darkness,
we thank You for your light.

Each morning mercy new,
the dawning break of day.
The bread was broken for us,
to restore Your Mighty way!

Your returning day approaches,
your guidance needed most-
your light will see us through it,
our lampstand; heavenly host.

A lighted path before us,
not lost,…You led the way.
Opened eyes;
burning bright.

We praise Your Heavenly Name!

Jesus we thank you!
It’s Your name we glorify!

My favorite Things by Melanie R.

My favorite things are not things at all.
To soak my whole spirit in His Holy word.
To sing of His praises;
Hallelujah all day long!

Telling my testament,
with His healing song.

Nothing in this world means more.

My hands clean, my heart made pure!

To be right in spirit,
He gave a new heart.

Your vision so clear, I hear of the Lord!

To love on His people,
to share from the heart.
and outdo in giving..
my favorite part!!!

Amen!!!

We thank you for gifts of healing…all my favorite things-
It’s all in your revealing.

Not things at all.

My favorite things in heaven,
stored up with the Lord.

These are a few of my favorite things.

Thank You Jesus!

Galatians 6:10
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith!

Matthew 6:19-21
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven…for where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.

Keep your eyes on eternity!

One of my adult sons just sent me this and I burst out crying because I can relate so much to every line myself.

My son and I are a lot alike. We both need other people in our lives to help us feel loved, validated and to recharge our emotional batteries. It is clearly a big ask for the people in our lives. We are not difficult or overly demanding, but we definitely struggle to feel secure and have inner peace. We think we were born into the wrong family because they find our chronic illness needs burdensome.

Honestly, probably anyone with chronic health problems, mental or physical, feels like a burden to their loved ones sometimes. I am here today to remind you that it is not your fault that you have this neverending challenge that requires extra support from others. Hear me? IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT.

Sharing this beautiful paragraph brought my son and I closer, so I am giving it to all of you to use too.

Peace and Love.
