Count your garden by the flowers,
never by the leaves that fall.
Count your days by golden hours,
don’t remember clouds at all.
Count your blessings every day
they’re a gift from God to say -
You are cherished and rewarded in every blessed way!

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Never stop praying.

Anthony jumped up from the bench and called 911, then raced down the hill with the girl to a find a frightening scene: three children who appeared to be between the ages of 9 and 11 were crying and flailing in frigid water, struggling to keep from going under, he said.

They’d been playing on a frozen pond when the ice suddenly broke and they fell in, their friend told Anthony. He knew he had to act fast.

PRAYING FOR PEACE AND HAPPINESS

Have mercy on me, Lord. I am a sinner. I need you always. Please forgive me. Please do something good in my marriage, my studies, and my job. I beg you. Why did you give me Alfe these many years? There are so many objections in my family to accepting Alfe. I beg you, please forgive me and Alfe our sins against you. Please Abba, do a miracle in my life. I have been stagnant in a place for so long worrying, afraid of my parents’ relatives. I beg you please, give me peace and happiness. I beg you do something. There is no meaning in living like this. I need peace and happiness from you. Please show your grace and mercy on me. Amen.
