All The Way My Savior Leads Me

words by Fanny J. Crosby

All the way my Savior leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way.

Attitude Determines Attitude


ATTITUDE DETERMINES ATTITUDE


I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do

before the clock strikes midnight.

I have responsibilities to fulfill today.

I am important.

My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.


Today I can complain because the weather is rainy

or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.


Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money

or I can be glad that my finances encourage me

to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.


Today I can grumble about my health

or I can rejoice that I am alive.


Today I can lament over all that my parents

didn't give me when I was growing up

or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.


Today I can cry because roses have thorns

or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.


Today I can mourn my lack of friends

or I can excitedly embark upon a quest

to discover new relationships.


Today I can whine because I have to go to work

or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.


Today I can complain because I have to go to school

or eagerly open my mind and fill it with

rich new tidbits of knowledge.


Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework

or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided

shelter for my mind, body and soul.


Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped.

And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.


What today will be like is up to me.

I get to choose what kind of day I will have!


Have a Great Day...Unless you have other plans?
