Good morning all,


Come, read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And banish the thoughts of day...

Read from some humbler poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start;

Who, through long days of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies...

-from 'The Day Is Done'
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Good morning all! I hope everyone day is blessed!

Good morning all the happy campers of the Christian Coffee house. Having a blast in Vegas but wanted to send major loves to all my buddies. Also kisses to Britty for taking care of coffeehouse while I am away...

And big huge welcome to Victorious......

Hi Debs,glad you could pop in for a minute to say hello.

How is your trip. Hope all is well. God bless, and keep you safe.



Hi Victorious, good to see you again, how about introducing yourself and letting us know about your walk with the Lord.

I prefer to think of myself as having a relationship with God rather than belonging to a particular religion. For me the gospel of Jesus is one of Love.

-Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!



Hi wouldee, good to see you again.

I wish you all the best for the New Year.

Hi Everyone!

I'm new to the site and so happy to see a thread for Christians!
God Bless You!

Karen

i Karen, I hope you enjoy making friends on JSH.

Stop by here any time.

Britty

Pretty new here also dreamer. And yes, it's great to come in and read Christian posts.

God Bless you all

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you
just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! When
the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look
so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been
opened for us.

Indian Proverb

For the friendship of two, the patience of one is required.


H.P. Blavatsky, Gems from the East (June 17th)
Endurance is the free companion of Sorrow, and Patience her master.

Chinese Proverb
If you are patient in a moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

EXERCISE

I have to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

- I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

- The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier.

- If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

- Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month.

- My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. Now she's 97 years old and we don't know where on earth she is.

- The only reason I would take up exercising is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

- I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there.

- And last but not least: I don't exercise because it makes the ice jump right out of my glass.

Luke 10.25.....

"How much we are willing to sacrifice is the measure of
our love"




Love will endure when you keep it pure

Good morning everyone.

May the Peace and Joy of the Lord be with you.

John Clare

Love lives beyond

Love lives beyond
The tomb, the earth, which fades like dew!
I love the fond,
The faithful, and the true.

Love lives in sleep,
The happiness of healthy dreams:
Eve's dews may weep,
But love delightful seems.

'Tis seen in flowers,
And in the morning's pearly dew;
In earth's green hours,
And in the heaven's eternal blue.

'Tis heard in spring
When light and sunbeams, warm and kind,
On angel's wing
Bring love and music to the mind.

And where is voice,
So young, so beautiful, and sweet
As nature's choice,
Where spring and lovers meet?

Love lives beyond
The tomb, the earth, the flowers, and dew.
I love the fond,
The faithful, young, and true.

ABOVE ALL
Verse 1

Above all powers above all kings
Above all kingdoms
Above all nature and all created things
Above all thrones
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
Above all wonders
You were here before the world began
The world has ever known

Above all wealth
Above all kingdoms above all thrones
And treasures of the earth
Above all wonders the world has ever known
There's no way to measure
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
What You're worth
There's no way to measure what You're worth


Verse 2
Crucified laid behind the stone
Above all powers
You lived to die rejected and alone
Above all kings
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
Above all nature
You took the fall and thought of me
And all created things
Above all
Above all wisdom

And all the ways of man
Above all powers above all kings
You were here
Above all nature and all created things
Before the world began
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man

You were here before the world began
CHORUS

Crucified
Above all kingdoms above all thrones
Laid behind the stone
Above all wonders the world has ever known
You lived to die
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
Rejected and alone
There's no way to measure what You're worth
Like a rose

Trampled on the ground
Crucified laid behind the stone
You took the fall
You lived to die rejected and alone
And thought of me
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
Above all
You took the fall and thought of me

Above all
(Chorus)

(Chorus)
Crucified laid behind the stone

You lived to die rejected and alone
Like the rose
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
You took the fall
Above all
And thought of me

Above all
Like a Rose trampled on the ground

You took the fall and thought of me

Above all

Michael W. Smith lyrics

SUFFERING

Perhaps the suffering most difficult to understand is that which seems to come out of nowhere and for no discernible reason. We must realize that individual tragedies may occur over which we have no control and that are impossible for us to foresee. In such instances the Scriptures encourage us to pray, asking God to remove or relieve the problem or help us deal with the difficulty and learn from it.

Our Creator in His wisdom doesn't always give us the answer we want. Rarely does He reveal the specific reason for the decision He makes. Yet He always has a good reason.
For example, God delivered the apostle Paul from many trials, but in at least one He declined to intervene in spite of Paul's fervent prayers (2Corinthians 12:7-10). On this occasion the response to Paul was, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."

In this instance, strengthening an aspect of Paul's spiritual perspective or character was ultimately more important than his personal comfort.

Hey people... Nice to know there is a religion chatroom... Kind of thing...

Hello y'all just stopping in for a quick visit and a cup of joe...and to say hi to all my christian friends on JSH.

and to share a little poetry...

Have a Happy and Blessed New Year

I want to run
I want to run free
To wherever this path will lead me
I might take a few scenic routes
Stop for a picnic here
Take a picture there

Where will this path lead me
I don't know
But it is Bless by Him
I feel
For He, My Lord, guides me
on the path I follow
The picnics, scenic hikes and pictures...
Those are blessed by Him as well

For its in them
That I learn
I learn who I am
What I want
What I desire
...I need...

So...
Thank you Lord
For Leading me this far
Continue and I will follow
Over smooth track or rocky hillsides

I ask that your footprints
Always be there
As I walk
the...
calm and turbulent shores
...of Life

I love you my Lord
Amen
Yours Truly
