Four Big Little Words

Trust in the Lord for His promise is true,

Delight in the Lord, it will bring joy to you.

Commit yourself, do His will every day,

Wait on the Lord, hear what He has to say.

What is Love?

It’s silence when your words would hurt,

It’s patience when your neighbor’s curt.

It’s deafness when the scandal flows.

It’s thoughtfulness for another’s woes.

It’s promptness when stern duty calls,

It’s courage when misfortune falls.

Consider the hammer---

It keeps its head.

It doesn’t fly off the handle.

It keeps pounding away.

It finds the point and then drives it home.

It looks at the other side, too, and thus often clinches the matter.

It makes mistakes, but when it does it starts all over.

It is the only knocker in the world that does any good.
