God's Gift of Life

As I view photos of the destruction left in the wake of these week's tornadoes I am so grateful for life.  Don't we take it for granted?  We assume each day will resemble the previous.  Disaster is so unexpected. 

So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.  Psalm 90:12

I am also grateful for life when I see Abby learning new things.  It's amazing to see her stand up, crawl, taste new foods.  When I first learned I was expecting, she was a little "bean" and now look at her. 

God is good.  Life is short.  Cherish each moment. 

Each Step I Take

Each step I take my Saviour goes before me,
And with His loving hand He leads the way,
And with each breath I whisper "I adore Thee;"
Oh, what joy to walk with Him each day.

Each step I take I know that He will guide me;
To higher ground He ever leads me on.
Until some day the last step will be taken.
Each step I take just leads me closer home.

At times I feel my faith begin to waver,
When up ahead I see a chasm wide.
It's then I turn and look up to my Saviour,
I am strong when He is by my side.

I trust in God, no matter come what may,
For life eternal in His hand,
He holds the key that opens up the way,
That will lead me to the promised land.

Each step I take I know that He will guide me;
To higher ground He ever leads me on.
Until some day the last step will be taken.
Each step I take just leads me closer home.
