A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE                     Father, although I cannot see the future You have planned, And though the path is sometimes dark and hard to understand, Yet give me faith, through joy and pain to trace Your loving hand.   When I recall that in the past your promises have stood Through each perplexing circumstance and every changing mood, I rest content that all things work together for my good.   Whatever, then, the future brings of good or seeming ill, I ask for strength to follow You and grace to trust You still; And I would look for no reward, except to do Your will.     John Eddison

As TIme Goes By   Old we may be, but young we all have been,   So, old in part but young in heart we are,   And, though we walk with care on creaky legs,   Those legs once danced for hours like butterflies …   How lovely to remember all that joy!   And to grow old, and smile, remembering.
