The Piano Lesson

Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, a mother took
the small boy to a Paderewski concert. 

After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and
walked down the aisle to greet her. 

Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the
little boy rose and eventually explored his way through a door marked "No

That is when I hear you answer me, "My Precious Child...be still."

Sometimes I feel frustrated, because I think I know what's best.

Sometimes I feel so lonely and I think, that's the perfect mate.
Then Your still small voice gets oh so clear and says, "My Child...please wait!"

You tell me time and time again, "I know the plans I...

Daily Encouragement For March 08:

Who knows the way I take but God alone!

Fifty people can look at your life, and in their minds believe they know all the answers, but each one will have a different answer, but God says, “I know the way that You take, I know all the answers!”

There will always be judges sitting in the grandstands, but as a child of God we only have one Judge.
And He is able to judge according to His righteousness and mercy. He sees all our yesterdays, today, and even tomo...
