My Two Cents Worth March 22, 2008 (article) by Myrtle Poor on AuthorsDen

This article is number two of a group of articles I write for the weekly paper and they go out on the internet everyday. This is the ministry the Lord has given me. Topic: God gives us the strength we need in time of trouble. MY TWO CENTS WORTH By Myrtle Poor (c) Greetings everyone in the name of the Lord. Let every one that has breath praise the Lord. There are so many things that we can find to praise God for. We see the big things He does for us and we praise Him for those, but do we ever think about the little things that He does everyday. How about the air we breathe? God made it. How about the food we eat and the roof over our head. It was all given to us by the Lord. God is the maker and creator of all things both small and large.

He never leaves us nor forsakes us in time of trouble. He gives us the exact amount of strength we need for every trouble He allows us to go through. He is our strength and our hiding place.

I have heard this so many times lately, if He brings you to it He will take you through it and I am so glad He is my guide in all things both large and small ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IT HURTS SO BAD By Myrtle Poor (c) It hurts so bad, this grief I have It breaks my heart in two. I had a friend so dear to me, That was loyal, kind and true. A place I had within my heart For this special friend of mine, But he went away and left me here And so my heart does pine. Today he came to me in the early hours All dressed in snowy white. He said he came to say goodbye Then he must take his flight. He did not walk too many years Upon this earthly shore, But now he walks the streets of gold, Over on yonder shore
