Philippians 4:7 New English Translation (NET Bible)

7 And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

 

Another day

 

The light showing through the window: The heater loudly humming

Peace on earth – goodwill to man; Life to be appreciated

In a world of sorrow where dissatisfaction seems roaming

One has to give all he can do so he won’t be over-rated

 

Children’s pictures on the table seemingly in motion

To show that all is well when trusting in The Lord

Gifts that make me able to enjoy a life of devotion

All are working for the good when Christ is on board

 

Life is but a flash in time, but for some, it will be forever

No shortcuts to be made here and no rolling of the dice

No more me, mine or ours and surely not for the clever

But just in faith to be near to the Heart of Jesus Christ
