Who Am I ?

Posted on by Leonas Lines
I am always surrounded by many books.
I have letters and decimals in my day.
I am here to happily help one who looks.
I am always surrounded by many books.
Very often I meet readers, writers and cooks.
I love what I’m doing. I want to stay.
I am always surrounded by many books.
I have letters and decimals in my day.

God Cares

Posted on by Leonas Lines

He cares
If you’re alone
If others have left you
If you need strength to bear the load
God cares

Seek Him
At times you need help and comfort
When your heart is broken
When you’re downcast
He cares

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you. 1 Peter 5:7 NLT

Daily Prayer

Posted on by Leonas Lines

This daily prayer I do say.
Lord, in heaven on high,
Lead and guide me to Your way.

Lord, protect me I pray.
From all evil that might come nigh.
This daily prayer I do say,

Whether I be at work or play,
I ask that You, my needs supply.
Lead and guide me to Your way.

Teach me what I should say.
Show me Your word to apply.
This daily prayer I do say.

Lord, help me make it through this day.
If my plans go awry,
Lead and guide me to Your way.

Help me, my words to weigh,
That You I might glorify.
This daily prayer I do say,
Lead and guide me to Your way.

Upsy-Daisy

Posted on by Leonas Lines

“Upsy-Daisy” mamma used to say,
When I tripped and fell along the way.
Picking me up, kissing my tears,
She’d urge me on to face my fears.
“Upsy-Daisy” encouraged me to go,
In spite of the path of fear or woe.

Now years later I mimic that phrase,
As I help others along their ways.
“Upsy-Daisy” I say to you today,
Wherever you are, whatever the way.
Should you stumble and fall,
“Upsy-Daisy” and give it your all.
Never give up. Seek your dreams,
No matter how hard your life seems.
Hang onto hope and you’ll go far.
Remember “Upsy-Daisy” wherever you are!

June 8th is National Upsy Daisy Day.
This day is a day set aside to encourage you to face the day positively, and to get up ‘gloriously, gratefully and gleefully’ each morning.
 “Upsy Daisy” Day was created by Stephanie West Allen in 2003.  
Her desire in creating a National Upsy Daisy Day was to make humor, laughter and a positive attitude part of the Upsy Daisy Day
