Pictures on the wall
1 Timothy 6:6 New English Translation (NET Bible)
6 Now godliness combined with contentment brings great profit.
Pictures on the wall
Smiles are facing me in the morning
Grandchildren glancing at my eyes
Hard to understand the blessing,
That contentment and godliness bring
Counting blessings without number
Tears of the happy make me cry
How great is the gift of loving
As “The Eternal Bells” now ring?
Life unending shining in children’s faces
And so written by “The Lord of All”
A simple message for the true believer
That all is well for the special chosen
The bible proclaims more than phrases
But contains love for the great and small
Pain and uncertainty’s burdens relieving
Through Gilead’s Balm and Sharon’s roses
Jan Wienen
