Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

It's Strange, Isn't It?
1. Isn't it strange? How a 20 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you donate it to church, but such a small amount when you go shopping?
2. Isn't it strange? How 2 hours seem so long when you're at church, and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?
3. Isn't it strange? That you can't find a word to say when you're praying, but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?
4. Isn't it strange? How difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Bible, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel or ZANE GREY book?
5. Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in Church?
6. Isn't it strange? How we need to know about an event for Church 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events at the last minute?
7. Isn't it strange? How difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?
8. Isn't it strange? How we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say, but we question the words in the bible?
9. Isn't it strange? How everyone wants a place in Heaven, but they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?
We ought to change our ways of doing things and believe in God and His words, for it is only through Him that we are save and His mercy endure forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amen
