MemoriesMemories are a treasureThe wealth we have insideSpecial times and sad timesThey're all part of lifeWe often like to retreatTo the memories of yesterdayThe tender moments we hadThat can never be replacedWhen we see that the LordWas there throughout our livesAnd see the turns we madeWith Him as our guideWe see the plan He hadTo bring us where we areWe see the road we've travelledHas brought us on this farSo memories of the pastHelp us trust to theeOur future years with gladnessThat we cannot yet seeFor if in the Father's careWe place each day we liveWe will know His inner peaceAnd His grace He freely gives© By M.S.LowndesHave A Great NightHugsssssDon

When Sorrow Comesby Edgar A. Guest When sorrow comes, as come it mustIn God a man must place his trustThere is no power in mortal speechThe anguish of his soul to reachNo voice, however sweet and lowCan comfort him or ease the blowHe cannot from his fellow menTake strength that will sustain him thenWith all that kindly hands will doAnd all that love may offer, tooHe must believe throughout the testThat God has willed it for the bestWe who would be his friends are dumbWords from our lips but feebly comeWe feel, as we extend our handsThat one Power only understandsAnd truly knows the reason whySo beautiful a soul must dieWe realize how helpless thenAre all the gifts of mortal menNo words which we have power to sayCan take the sting of grief awayThat Power which marks the sparrow's fallMust comfort and sustain us allWhen sorrow comes, as come it mustIn God, a man must place his trustWith all the wealth which he may ownHe cannot meet the test aloneAnd only he may stand sereneWho has a faith on which to lean Have A Great NightHugssssssssDon
