Sunrise, Sunset



Sunrise, Sunset


Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older
When did they?

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow
the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tear








You may recognize some of the words above from the lyrics of "Sunrise, Sunset" from "Fiddler on the Roof" The words are a good reminder of how swiftly the days go by and that our lives are but a vapor. As I meditate on this I am only prayerful that I can pass the following words of wisdom on to my
children and grandchildren. May their lives count for eternity.


What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
May their trust be only in the Lord
Day by Day

Proverbs 1:7-10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but
fools despise wisdom and instruction. My son, hear the instruction of
thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: For they shall be an
ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. My son, if
sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

My how quickly the days flee away. Now it is just Grandpa and Grandma Lockhart living alone in our house. However, the Lord has blessed us with 13 grandchildren and 1 more coming in August, 2011. Three of our four children live near us and one lives in Brazil as a missionary. We are thankful for the blessing they are to us!

Our newest, Caleb, born with underdeveloped lungs, In ICU for two weeks.
God miraculously healed him and he is now home. Praise the Lord!

Wednesday’s Wisdom

1 Kings 8:61  Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. How much do we give? Psalms 96:8-9 “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:” (Give Praise and worship) “bring an offering, and come into his courts.” (Give personal wealth) “O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.” (Give practical witness) “ God wants our praise.  The world needs our practical witness of a holy life.  and we need to give our personal wealth.  God does not need our gifts-but we need to give.  The greatest gift we can give is to give our lives to His service. ~The above is from My Morning Manna, vol. 3, p. 226, by Ed Nelson

50 Reasons Why I Love the Lord

I recently had a birthday, but more important is my spiritual birthday.  I am so thankful to be born again. This is my 50th year in the Lord!  To think that the Lord saved me and keeps me is beyond my comprehension!  I am so filled with awe and gratitude to my Lord!  Since this is my 50th year to be saved,  I wrote down 50 reasons why I love Him.  It was not a hard task.  There are so many reasons to love the Lord.  I cannot think of one reason why the Lord would want to love me, but I am so thankful that He does.  He only is our HOPE. I have been so overwhelmed with the Lord's love for me that I felt like I needed to share it with others.  If you don't know the Lord, please don't delay.  You will never regret His love for you. He first loved me. He sent His only begotten son to die in my place. He forgives all my sin He saved me by His shed blood He has never left nor forsaken me. He is ever merciful and His merc...
