One Small Book When pressures of the day creep in And I feel all alone, There’s always comfort by my side In this small book I own. Just one small book can give me all The answers to my care, When doubt and fear come to my mind I find my solace there. Volumes I will never need To guide me on my way, Just one small book and what it says Will change my night to day. No need for high adventure, Or castles in the air, Just one small book can give me The answers to my prayer. I ask the Heavenly Father To guide with unseen hands To open up the pages So I can understand. What promises He offered To those who follow through, It’s all right there in black and white, It’s there for me and you. Just one small book is all you need The only one reliable, The one small book I have in mind Is called the Holy Bible. Doran Conrad Blairsville, GA Formerly of Sciotoville From: A Visit To Nature’s House   Creator God God: Melts before firming Breaks before healing Uses small people to do big things Turns fleshly fear into spiritual courage Turns fleshly courage into Godly fear Turns sobs into songs Makes dreams become realities Uses garbage to grow fruit Makes one seed into an uncountable harvest Makes loneliness a gift Never wastes the wastelands of the past Makes death, life Turns human ends into spiritual beginnings Turns human rejection into Heavenly affection Ties loose ends into strong love bonds. Patricia North Portsmouth From: I’ll Chase the Spring   HANDS OF AN AWESOME GOD Your gentle hands have smoothed my windblown hair, wiped tears of pain from my flushed cheek. You gently wrapped Your loving arms around my lonely body and made me feel secure again, clasped my hand strong and tight, on adventures up high hills and in the valley, soothed me in times of great distress. The greatest truth my heart has ever known, is that I will never lose the touch of Your strong, yet gentle, Hands. Janet Nesler Sciotoville
