ABC’s - ALTHOUGH THINGS ARE NOT PERFECT

OVERSIGHT TEAM:

Pastor Shane & Glenda Whitbourn Dwayne & Cynthia Alexander

Although things are not perfect Because of trial or pain Continue in thanksgiving Do not begin to blame ... Even when the times are hard Fierce winds are bound to blow God is forever able Hold on to what you know Imagine life without His love Joy would cease to be Keep thanking Him for all the things Love imparts to thee Move out of "Camp Complaining" No weapon that is known On earth can yield the power Praise can do alone Quit looking at the future Redeem the time at hand Start every day with worship To "thank" is a command Until we see Him coming Victorious in the sky We'll run the race with gratitude Xalting God most high Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but... Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad! - author unknown
