His Love For Me...
When the pain is more than I can bear;
When my fears come rushing in;
When the tears flow like a river;
He softly whispers, "Let Me In."
When lonliness creeps up around me;
And my words fall on deaf ears;
My Jesus comes and hides me;
And softly whispers, "Dry your tears."
As I lean on my dear Jesus;
And my pain with Him I share;
He smoothes away my sadness;
And softly whispers, "I'll always care."
His faithfulness is always amazing;
To this ever doubting soul;
When His voice comes again to guide me;
And to whisper, "My love has made you whole."
He is my loving Father;
Watching not from Heaven above;
But all around me and inside me;
He gently wraps me in His love.

A Biblical Recipe For Effective Child Training
1 gallon faith in God 3 teaspoons of pure mercy
7 cupfuls love for your child 1 generous dash of humor
1 cup patience 2 cupfuls praise
1 cup clarified instruction 2 cupfuls liberty
1 cup consistent discipline (whipped lightly)
Pour faith in God into any size family. Mix one teaspoon of clarified
instruction and one teaspoon of consistent discipline. Add only a half
cup of liberty initially. Stir well and whip lightly. Sprinkle in pure mercy and simmer over a steady flame of prayer. Proceed to fold in additional teaspoons of instruction and discipline, in equal amounts, adding liberty slowly. Stir well and whip as needed to smooth out any lumps of disobedience. Never overbeat! Sweeten to taste with humor and praise. Melt any specks of misunderstanding or sour attitude by turning up the level of prayer and adding extra instruction. Continue this process until all remaining ingredients have been added and all bitterness has been removed. When adding the last cup of liberty, be careful not to cause any sudden separation or foaming. If either of these occur, or if the moral character begins to lose its intended shape, skim off the excess liberty until the desired consistency results. Try adding this liberty again later when character is firmer. Keep warm over a steady flame of prayer. Serve with a tender heart and the sincere milk of God's Word. Never serve with a cold shoulder or a hot tongue.
