A mother's love is like a fortress, And we seek protection there, When the waves of tribulation, Seem to drown us in despair.

A mother's love is like a beacon, Burning bright with Faith and Prayer, And through the changing scenes of life, We can find a haven there.

Today be happy with what you have - not discontent with what you don't have.

God, teach me to be patient, teach me to go slow, Teach me how to wait on You when my way I do not know. Teach me sweet forbearance when things do not go right So I remain unruffled when others grow uptight. Teach me how to quiet my racing, rising heart So I might hear the answer You are trying to impart. Teach me to let go, dear God, and pray undisturbed until My heart is filled with inner peace and I learn to know your will.

No matter how steep the mountain - the Lord is going to climb it with you.

This great God loves us still, He loved us since the world began and what's more, He always will.

Peace on earth will come to stay, When we live Christmas every day.
