By Charles C. Robey
In the still of the night
God took his earthly flight
To a lowly stable bed
As the Holy word foresaid
Angels harkened to proclaim
The precious Savior's name
Peace on earth good will to all
Humble shepherds they did draw
God shinned brightly in the star
Wise men did follow from afar
Precious gifts they would bring
To worship the new born King
While on earth miracles incurred
By the spreading of God's word
Many hearts opened to believe
As the Gospel they did receive
In the still of the night
God took His heavenly flight
To prepare Heaven's zone
For worship at God's Throne
God's light still shines today
Finding those who are astray
By faith who may believe
God's Grace to them receive

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. (Psalms 9:9-10 KJV)
Don't give up
He will turn your night to day, He will drive all gloom away.
Don't give up.
When the days are dark as night, when there's none who care in sight.
Don't give up.
Though the way be long and rough and the fighting hard and tough
Don't give up.
When your trials rise mountains high, you can know the Lord is nigh
Don't give up.
When your friends all turn you down, and upon you simply frown
Don't give up.
When the powers of sin assail, Christ the Savior will prevail
Don't give up.
Tho His love they often spurn, from your Savior's soon return.
Don't give up

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:20)
With all the saints on earth, to meet Him in the skies.
It will be a glad reunion when we meet Him over there
And join the blessed Savior at the meeting in the air.
On that resurrection morning, we shall stand before the thrown,
At the judgment seat of Jesus, our deeds will be atoned.
For the way that we have served him, and work we have done.
Our Lord will then reward us, with the crown we have won.
On that resurrection morning, it will be a dreadful time,
For the ones who failed to serve, will be left behind.
To go through the trouble and feel sins might
When the Lord withdraws His spirit, and takes His final flight.

But just as it is written, "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And [which] have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Corinthians 2:9)
There's a better home a waiting over on that golden shore.
Where Jesus waits with all the Saints who have traveled on before.
They beckon me to meet them far beyond the shining sun.
And by God's grace I'll be there when my traveling days are done.
I am going home tomorrow shouting glory all the way,
And when I reach that blessed place, I'll hear my Savior say
Well done my faithful servant, enter into Heaven's door.
Where sin nor strife nor pain nor death nor sorry come no more
When the trumpet sounds in glory will you meet me over there,
To dwell with Him in peace and love and a spotless robe to wear.
Get ready for His coming, you will not have long to wait.
Before He calls you home above within the pearly gates.

But may it never be that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Galatians 6:14)
Neath the shadow of the cross, thieves stood dying for crimes to pay
While the Savior of the world was crying, Forgive them I pray.
Neath the shadow of the cross, stood the Mother to watch Him there
John, behold thy Mother, watch her with your care.
Neath the shadow of the cross , loved ones followed tho away
Jesus bowed His head proclaiming, It is finished O blessed day.
Neath the shadow of the cross, they nailed Him there
As the saints around downhearted, were filled with deep despair.
Neath the shadow of the cross, midst the crowd He was alone
Praise God for now and forever, for our sins He did atone.
Neath the shadow of the cross.

"Alice" is playing with her kittens — a white kitten (whom she calls "Snowdrop"), and a black kitten (whom she calls "Kitty"), the offspring of Dinah, Alice's cat in the first book when she ponders what the world is like on the other side of a mirror's reflection. Climbing up on the fireplace mantel, she pokes at the wall-hung mirror behind the fireplace and discovers, to her surprise, that she is able to step through it to an alternate world, "The Looking Glass Land".
What if we could step through "The Looking Glass", as did Alice, and get a view of God's eternal will for our life. Would our day change? Would we be more receptive to His will for our life. Would we be more obedient? Well, since we can't step through the "Looking Glass", we must accept God's plan by faith and continue our day-to-day meditation with our "Living God".
As my life began
My thought did span
Over all the land
In God's Big Looking Glass
From the song I pine
Hearts music to chime
Heavens songs divine
In God's Big Looking Glass
Yesterday is old news
Tomorrow is abused
Today I must choose
In God's Big Looking Glass
From all my sin
My life did mend
With God within
In God's Big Looking Glass
Getting ready to fly
Beyond Heaven's sky
In the sweet by-and-by
In God's Big Looking Glass
Amen!

"The Greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." (Author Unknown)
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
As this world comes alive
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
While compassion does survive
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
As time and space erodes
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
Amidst life's roughest roads
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
Up and down eternity's path
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
In the sunlight for a bath
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
With a taste of Heaven's bliss
My dog and I walk hand "n" hand together
Nothing forward to remiss
My dog and I walk hand "n" together
At rest in God's sweet arms
My dog and I walk hand "n" together
Looking back, yes, looking back through life's charms.

Do you ever not feel saved? If so, please join the club. I praise God that the Christian life is not built on feelings, but on the saving and keeping power of God, through His son Christ Jesus. "But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. . . " (2 Peter 3:18)
It is wonderful to know, That the Father up above
Keeps His eyes upon us all, watches over us with love
Though at times our faith may fail, and our eyes from him may stray
He will not forsake us then, But will keep us all the way.
It is marvelous to trust, In the Savior's matchless love
When the hearts of many doubt, and by sin and strife be stirred
Some may say that God is dead, But we know that He still lives
In our hearts He now abides, Joy and love and peace He gives.
I am happy now to know, that my sins are all forgiven.
That my name has been inscribed, in the book of life in Heaven.
When I enter Heaven's gates, all my burdens I'll lay down.
At the feet of Christ my Lord, to exchange them for my crown.
