To the entire Walker Family:

May God bless you in this time of sorrow. I know that your family circle has been broken once again. But remember that God knows best. Manada is now with "Fattie and Buck and her other brothers and sisters who have already crossed over. I would encourage you to remember the good times that you spent with her. I remember living down the country and Manada coming to see Bigma dressed from head to toe in her pant suit with the long jacket. Manada had a warm...

I’ll give it all to You Dear Lord
No Ifs or Ands or Buts
I’ll take the step and get on board
Forsaking all my ruts

I’ll leave behind what stresses me
The worry, doubt and fear
And claim Your truth tenaciously
Just knowing You are near

With Your great help I’ll change my ways
I’ll thrive where I belong
From negatives to vibrant praise
I’ll sing a different song

I’ll see the best and drop the rest
I’ll concentrate on love
I’m thankful for...

Use this gift I give He said,
To call My sheep to Me,
I shall give to you the words to use,
So that they may understand.

Let them know I hear their cries,
That I care for one and all,
I will do what’s best for them,
If they will only heed My call.

The first step, it's so hard to take,
They'll want to run and hide,
Please tell them that I’m here for them,
For it was for them, for whom I died.

Tell them I came to ease their pain,
And I will...

As I stand atop the mountain overlooking the sea,
I view the beauty below me!
Beautiful flowers growing at my feet,
Send up a fragrance so delicately sweet!

A choir of birds with melodious voice,
Seem to say to me, "Rejoice!" "Rejoice!"
My heart feels a peace it has seldom known,
For all traces of doubt and fear have flown!

I feel so rested and worry free,
That I wonder if this is really happening to me!
As my lungs capture the mountain air,
I breathe...

The day was the same as ever before,
There were no signs around,
As people did their daily chores,
The rain came tumbling down.

But something was so very strange,
The sky became so grey,
The sun had no light to it,
As if there was no day.

No one seemed to notice the change,
Until the thunder started to roar,
The earth shook so violently,
Such as never before.

And when I looked up in the sky,
I saw millions of angels around,
My heart stood...

Dear Lord, I feel Your presence,
And in essence,
My soul is set aflame!
Gone are the cares of the day!
They're immediately swept away,
By the whisper of Your name!

Toil and strife,
Those natural things in life,
I file away upon a shelf!
Oh Master divine,
Thy will becomes mine,
As I forget about myself!

Your presence is so sweet,
And as victory replaces defeat,
Past failures are forgotten and left behind!
In the shadow of the cross,
Great...

Jesus loves me this I know,
His precious word tells me so,
He hears my every thought and prayer,
He goes with me every where.

He whispers when I slip and fall,
Be careful child, I died for all,
He watches me from His home on high,
And tells me, I don't need to sigh.

He is my special loving friend,
He will stay with me until the end,
I feel His love, His compassion divine,
My Jesus loves me all the time.

I know, He really loves me,
For the...

and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen"
Matthew 28:20 KJV







Here is Your child again, needing Your
love and grace. Lord I cuddle close to
You when I hurt, it is in Your
sheltering arms I find such comfort.
You are my shepherd, I shall never
be in want...Many times You draw
me aside to be tested and tried,
but it is near the quiet waters
You restore my soul. You guide my
path, and I'm so happy to be...

Lord we gather 'round,
Thanks to offer to You,
We are grateful daily,
For all the things You do.

We plow the fields in dry times,
The cow has lost her calf,
The hogs are in need of water,
We pray on their behalf.

We toil the soil Jesus,
Growing the food we eat,
But without Your help,
We are going to lose the wheat.

The weather is so dry my Lord,
We've done all that we know,
We are helpless and now worry,
The crops just can't begin to...
