Sunsets Never Wait

Sunsets never wait!
Do you ever sit and watch beautiful sunsets with your family?
You can blink and before you know it they're gone. Life goes by so quickly! Make the most of it!!


    One time there was a little boy that came inside and  kept pulling at his mother's apron, trying to get her attention.  She was busy taking care of dinner dishes and cleaning up around the kitchen and didn't feel like being bothered right then.  Suddenly out of frustration to get her little boy to stop bothering her, she bent down to see what he wanted.  He wanted to take his mom out to show her the sunset. Frustrated, she threw down her towel  and thought she would "get it over with". How many interuptions did she have to put up with.
    She went out side and to her delightful suprise it was the most beautiful sunset she ever saw. She realized that her little son wanted to share that moment with her. If she would have waited another minute it would have been gone. Sunsets never wait.
      She swooped her son in her arms and gave him a big hug. She cried,  "Thanks for showing me that wonderful sunset!"  He just answered "God made it! Isn't it wonderful?"
      She realized that the important thing of the moment wasn't the actual beautiful sunset, but the pleasure in seeing the boy's face at taking pleasure in what God  had made!  They say and watched until the sun went into the darkness.


Are you missing out on a "Sunset" of your life?  Take time to keep the important things first! Because "sunsets never wait!"

God hath not promised
 
God hath not promised
     Skies always blue,
Flower - strewn pathways
     All our lives through;
God hath not promised
     Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
     Peace without pain.
 
But God hath promised
     Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
      Light for the way.
Grace for the trials.
      Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy
      Undying love...

Amazing Grace

    Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me.
    I once was lost, but now am found,
    Was blind, but now I see.

    'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
    And grace my fears relieved.
    How precious did that grace appear
    The hour I first believed.

    Through many dangers, toils and snares
    I have already come;
    'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
    And grace will lead me home.

    The Lord has promised good to me
    His word my hope secures;
    He will my shield and portion be,
    As long as life endures.

    Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
    And mortal life shall cease,
    I shall possess within the veil,
    A life of joy and peace.

    James Newton
