The Right Time




To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;  A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;  A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;  A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;  A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;  A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;  A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Jesus Hug


Have you ever had a "Jesus hug", Do you know what one feels like? If you've never had a "Jesus hug", I pray one day you might.

A "Jesus hug" is different, As far as hugging goes; It's a little taste of Heaven, Here on earth below.

Only those who love the Lord, Can give a "Jesus hug"; It conveys God's grace and mercy, And unconditional love.

Those who give out "Jesus hugs" Always seem to somehow know Just when you're in need of one To make your spirit glow.

And if you ever need one I hope that I will see, So I can give you a "Jesus hug"; Just like someone did for me.

The Strait Gate



Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.  Matthew 7:13-14

God Blessed The Broken Road



I set out on a narrow way many years ago;
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road. But I got lost a time or two,
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through.
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you.

That every long lost dream lead me to where you are. Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars. Pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know is true, That God blessed the broken road
that led me straight to you.


I think about the years I spent just passing through, I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you. But you just smile and take my hand, You've been there, you understand. It's all part of His grander plan, That is coming true.

And every long lost road, led me to where you are. Others who broke my heart, they were just northern stars, pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know it's true, That God blessed the broken road
that led me straight to you.


And now I'm just rolling home, Into my lover's arms. This much I know is true,
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.
Yes, at God blessed the broken road, that led me straight to you

-  Marcus Hummon, Bobby Boyd, Jeff Hanna


He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.  Psalm 147:3
