DON'T' GIVE UP, LOOK UP!
 
We have our troubles in life to face,
They seem to be in most every place.
We worry so much and sometimes fret,
But worry hasn't solved any problems yet.
We feel alone and forsaken at times,
When clouds of doubt have darkened our mind.
When opening our hearts to God's precious Word,
The sweetest of music can be heard.
His Word will remove our doubts and fears,
And dispel all our troubles and cares.
God gives us grace and peace with His love,
And supplies all our need from His Storehouse above.
We ;must trust the Savior for His amazing grace,
To solve our problems in any place.
We should praise the Lord Jesus for His wonderful love,
For His coming to earth from Heaven above.
For His going to calvary, taking our place,
So that all might be saved by His wonderful grace.

OUR DAUGHTER

God gave to us our precious daughter
To love and cherish these many years;
But not without heartaches and sorrows,
And the shedding of many tears.
Suffering with patience for such long while,
Which she could not have done,
Had she not been His Child.
Only God has know her sickness and suffering,
Having been with her all the way;
Her constant Companion both night and day.
God is mindful of all pain His children endure,
And has provided for each an eternal cure.
He is our present help while living down here,
Then He will take us Home, where there is never,
                               No never a care!

Dedicated in memory of our beloved daughter Gail,
who went to be with the Lord June 23, 2001 after
years of sickness and suffering with type 1 diabetes.
