--Look on the Sunny Side --

By: Helen Steiner Rice ~~


There are always two sides, the good and the bad,

The dark and the light, the sad and the glad--

But in looking back over the good and the bad

We're aware of the number of good things we've had--

And in counting our blessings we find when we're through

We've no reason at all to complain or be blue--

So thank God for good things He has already done,

And be grateful to Him for the battles you've won,

And know that the same God who helped you before

Is ready and willing to help you once more--

Then with faith in your heart reach out for God's Hand

And accept what He sends, though you can't understand--

For our Father in heaven always knows what is best,

And if you trust in His wisdom your life will be blest,

For always remember that whatever betide you,

You are never alone for God is beside you. ~~ -

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. -

Psalm 23 -
