Stay Beautiful♥

If you and I are a story
That never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know



You're beautiful, every little piece, love
Don't you know, you're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone



Her barefeet are a work of art.

"The cure for anything is salt water-- sweat, tears, or the sea."

--Isak Dinesen

 

Captain Hook: Growing up is such a barbarous business, full of inconvenience... and pimples.









Wendy: I think you have, Peter. And I daresay you've felt it yourself. For something... or... someone?

Peter: Never. Even the sound of it offends me.

[Wendy tries to touch his face, and he jumps away]

Peter: Why do you have to spoil everything? We have fun, don't we? I taught you to fly and to fight. What more could there be?

Wendy: There is so much more.

Peter: What? What else is there?

Wendy: I don't know. I guess it becomes clearer when you grow up.

Peter: Well I will not grow up! You cannot make me! I will banish you like Tinkerbell.

Wendy: I WILL NOT BE BANISHED!

Peter: Then go home. Go home and grow up. And take your feelings with you!

Face the Future with Faith



We live in a time of turmoil. Earthquakes and tsunamis wreak devastation, governments collapse, economic stresses are severe, the family is under attack, and divorce rates are rising. We have great cause for concern. But we do not need to let our fears displace our faith. We can combat those fears by strengthening our faith.




Mercies in Disguise

We pray for blessings



We pray for peace


Comfort for family, protection while we sleep


We pray for healing, for prosperity


We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering


All the while, You hear each spoken need


Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things



(Chorus)

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops


What if Your healing comes through tears


What if the thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near


What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise






We pray for wisdom


Your voice to hear


We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near


We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love


As if every promise from Your Word is not enough


And all the while, You hear each desperate plea


And long that we'd have faith to believe






Chorus






When friends betray us


When darkness seems to win


We know the pain reminds this heart


That this is not, this is not our home



Chorus



What if my greatest disappointments


Or the aching of this life


Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy


What if trials of this life


The rain, the storms, the hardest nights


Are your mercies in disguise

We May Never Know

“There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened.”
