LACE~ Life is Fragile

Life is fragile: Handle with prayer.
Remember that Jesus will always be there
To hear our problems and to gather our tears,
To calm the storms, and to settle the fears.
It does not matter how great or how small,
Jesus will answer to our every call.
Just call on the Lord, it matters not when-
His office is not closed at half-past ten.
He's never on lunch, He can't take a break;
If He did, this old world would just crumble and shake.
His lines are never busy, He won't put you on hold.
He won't ask you twice what He's already been told.
There's no account number, nor address to give;
No matter where you've moved, He knows where you live.
Yes, the Lord always answers, He never leaves home.
He won't leave us to handle it all on our own.
So when things get rough, and things aren't fair,
Remember: Life is fragile, so handle with prayer.
By Gloria J. Ames

Hello friends,
I'm sharing a poem I found on the Web and a couple of my photos today.
 I hope they might encourage anyone who is going through a difficult time right now.
I want you to know that I pray regularly for everyone who visits Lily-Rose Cottage.
I truly believe God hears and answers prayer!
It's my privilege to ask for His grace to supply every need that you might have today.
God knows all about it my friends,  and He cares very deeply.
He understands your fears and worries, hurts and disappointments.
He is listening to you and His eyes are upon you, watching over you and all that concerns you.
Remember He is always near...and He loves you with an everlasting love!

    Hello Trish,

    This is a lovely poem - so encouraging and comforting.

    I'd like to join you in LACE one of these weeks, but I'm having difficulty linking your LACE button in my post - I can only see the code when I preview. Any ideas?

    Thank you for this encouraging meme. It is always a joy to read.

    God bless,
    Kim
