Our Daily Guide

Deuteronomy 6:5-9 (King James Version)

5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

Always remember,
when God made you
He did so with a purpose
and a plan.
He saw all your days
before you lived one of them
and placed over you
the covering of
His protective love.
He has allowed nothing
to come into your life
that has not first been
screened through that love.
His hand has remained
upon you to this very day.
He calls you by name.
You are His beloved child...
the apple of His eye...
the delight of His heart.
Today you are in
the exact place He
wants you to be,
and tomorrow He will be
with you as He has
always been-
in goodness, in kindness,
in faithfulness.

~Roy Lessin

Go Light Your World

There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning, some dark and cold
There is a Spirit who brings a fire
Ignites a candle and makes His home

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Cause We are a family whose hearts are blazing
So let's raise our candles and light up the sky
Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Beautiful Beautiful

Don’t know how it is You looked at me
And saw the person that I could be
Awakening my heart
Breaking through the dark
Suddenly Your grace

(Chorus)

Like sunlight burning at midnight
Making my life something so
Beautiful, beautiful
Mercy reaching to save me
All that I need
You are so
Beautiful, beautiful

Now there’s a joy inside I can’t contain
But even perfect days can end in rain
And though it’s pouring down
I see You through the clouds
Shining on my face

(Chorus)

I have come undone
But I have just begun
Changing by Your grace

(words and music by Francesca Battistelli, Ian Eskelin, and Andrew Fromm)

Home Sweet Home

Home

Mid pleasures and palaces
though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble,
there's no place like home.
~John Howard Payne

Where we love is home,
Home that our feet may leave,
but not our hearts.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes

A close-knit and loving home
is worth more than a kingdom.
~William Bennett

Stay, stay at home,
my heart, and rest;
Home-keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Lord, this humble house we'd keep
Sweet with play and calm with sleep.
Help us so that we may give
Beauty to the lives we live.
Let Thy love and let Thy grace
Shine upon our dwelling place.
~Edgar A. Guest

Home is where the heart is,
The soul's bright guiding star.
Home is where real love is,
Where our own dear ones are.
Home means someone waiting
To give a welcome smile.
Home means peace and joy and rest
And everything worthwhile.
~Author unknown

"Ah! There is nothing like staying home for real comfort."
~Jane Austen

Home;
It's not the house we live in,
But the people who live in the house.
~Liesa George
