HE LEADS ME HE DOES NOT LEAD ME YEAR TO YEAR NOR EVEN DAY BY DAY, BUT STEP BY STEP MY PATH UNFOLDS, MY LORD DIRECTS MY WAY. TOMORROW’S PLANS I DO NOT KNOW I ONLY KNOW THIS MINUTE, BUT HE WILL SAY, THIS IS THE WAY, BY FAITH NOW WALK YE IN IT. AND I AM SO GLAD THAT IT IS SO, TODAY'S ENOUGH TO BEAR. AND WHEN TOMORROW COMES HIS GRACE SHALL FAR EXCEED IT'S CARE. WHAT NEED TO WORRY OR TO FRET? THE GOD WHO GAVE HIS SON HOLDS ALL MY MOMENTS IN HIS HAND AND GIVES THEM ONE BY ONE. #279
HE LEADS ME

Just for Today Oh, God, give me grace for this day. Not for a lifetime, nor for next week, nor for tomorrow, just for this day. Direct my thoughts and bless them, Direct my work and bless it, Direct the things I say and give them blessing too. Direct and bless everything that I think and speak and do. So that for this one day, just this one day, I have the gift of grace that comes from your presence. Marjorie Holmes #475
JUST FOR TODAY

Trust the Master Weaver When gray threads mar life’s pattern And seem so out of line. Trust the Master Weaver Who planned the whole design. For in the choicest patterns some dark threads must appear To make the rose threads fairer, The gold more bright and clear. The pattern may seem intricate And hard to understand, But trust the Master Weaver And His steady, guiding hand. #819
