'I am a Christian'
By Maya Angelou'
'When I say.... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living;'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou;
I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!
this is were we put the lilies...and then these 1/2 blocks...cut on angle for the roof part of the house they came out of...will be in the spring...my herb garden...as most know...herbs are agressive and take over an area completely...here they will be contained...and won't spread...
my laundry...pillow shams off of my bed...
suprise lilies...
all that remains of last night's fire...we did marshmellows and hotdogs...
snap dragon...
cold frames...these will house the new plants in the spring and save them from frost...they will stay in here until it is safe to put them out in the gardens...
the corn...a total loss...
