   SIMPLE LIVING QUOTE

  “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more.  It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.  Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

  He Maketh No Mistake

  My Father’s way may twist and turn,
  My heart may throb and ache,
  But in my soul I’m glad I know
  He maketh no mistake.

  My cherished plans may go astray,
  My hopes may fade away,
  But still I’ll trust my Lord to lead,
  For He doth know the way.

  Though night be dark and it may seem
  That day will never break,
  I’ll pin my faith, my all in Him,
  He maketh no mistake.

  There’s so much now I cannot see,
  My eyesight’s far too dim;
  But come what may, I’ll surely trust
  And leave it all to Him.

  For by and by the mist will lift
  And plain it all He’ll make;
  Through all the way, though dark to me,
  He made not one mistake.
