He Guides My Path – The Writing of Sarah Berthelson

Mother you are thought of each and every day

I cannot forget for a moment when I pray

To thank my God for what you say

Thank You Mother

When I think of my blessings

The first one is you

Who loved me and taught me the right thing to do

Thank You Mother

If there was ever a role model for mothers

It just has to be you

Who wasn’t afraid to discipline me

It was just the thing to do

Thank You Mother

You always had a compliment when I tried to do my best

It was not always perfect but you loved me no less

Thank you Mother

I want to thank the Lord for placing me in your life

Your teachings took, now I have a great life

Thank You Mother

Happy Mothers Day

Sarah Berthelson

God tells me that He will meet my needs

He has kept His word oh yes in deed

I am not rich or the healthiest there is

I have enough

He did not promise me a rose garden

Just that my needs would be met this day

He tells me to share because some cannot pay

I have enough

Jesus has shown me children that needed a kind word

He has placed them clearly into my world

He gave me the words to say to them

I have enough

I have a home and a nice place to sleep

Covers on my bed and especially sheets

I have plenty of food that He provides

I can go buy a candy bar if I so desire

I have enough

His word is in my home and I read it daily

He speaks to me and leaves nothing out

To show me the way He desires me to go

Not for a moment is it for show

What we do is because He allowed it

I have enough

God has blessed me in so many ways

I notice something new every single day

He kept His promise and I need to obey

I have enough

Sarah Berthelson

I answered prayer request from people I do not know
They needed a friend and someone that would not show
Their secrets to others were safe with me
I answered them and prayed for the request you see
Thank God for everything

I picked up the phone and called my elderly sister
We talked and shared just above a whisper
I could not see her but heard her sweet voice
We need to check on those we love it is our choice
Thank God for everything

My husband was hungry so we went downstairs
Put food in the microwave and ate right there
Oh how often we forget to thank Him
For all the things we take for granted each day
May you bow your head now and pray
Thank God for everything

We need a prayer meeting across our land

Thinking of our troops fighting in that sand

We call ourselves believers in all that is right

Yet we abort our babies and with each other fight

Does not seem to matter what the fight is about

It is I am right and your are wrong, isn’t that right?

We need a prayer meeting across our land

To come together and love one another as our self

That is what our God would like from us

Let us pray for the politician that they will get right with Him

So much confusion everyday of our life

Our little children cannot understand all this strife

Neighbor against neighbor, State against state

What in the world will be our fate?

We need a prayer meeting across our land

Gather together bow before Him and pray

For guidance and mercy that we need every day

Oh how we need a prayer meeting today

Thank you God for guiding my path
Through the valley where you held my hand
The mountain tops that you tugged on me to climb
My parents that were given to me by your divine order
For my children that you sent to me in your timing
I praise you for my salvation
The mind that you gave me to understand the Old Rugged Cross
For your presence in my life today
Thank you Lord for your patience with a sinner such as I
The love that you have shown through the wrong paths that I chose
The many friends that you sent into my life to love
Thank you for the guidance you will give me tomorrow
For the forgiveness that you have given me today
Continue to guide my path dear Lord
The path that seems so uncertain to me
You know where I am going and you know where I have been
Thank you for listening to my prayers
Some of them are only whining or begging from me
Thank you

Thank you, God ...

For guiding my path through the valley,

Where you held my hand ...

The mountain tops that You

Tugged on me to climb ...

My parents that were given to me

By Your divine order ...

For my children that You sent

To me in Your timing.

I praise You ...

For my salvation.

The mind that you gave me

To understand the Old Rugged Cross.

For Your presence in my life, today.

Thank you, Lord ...

For your patience with a sinner such as I.

The love that You have shown

Through the wrong paths that I chose.

The many friends that You

Sent into my life to love.

Thank you ...

For the guidance You

Will give me tomorrow.

For the forgiveness that You

Have given me, today.

Continue to guide

My path, dear Lord ...

The path that seems

So uncertain to me.

You know where I am going

And where I have been.

Thank you for listening

To my prayers.

I taught my little boys to be thankful

Before we ate, we bowed our heads and often

Said ‘God is great, God is good,

Let us thank Him for our food’

Many a child has said something like that

Some go on and on with their sweet little thanks

They thank him for everyone and everything

We adults are often impatient and ready to eat

It would be better if we would give thanks,

He provides our food and shelter

Days go by and we never remember to thank Him

Why do we wait until troubles come

To get on our knees and beg for Him

To listen to our request and answer them please,

I need you now can’t you see.

Sometimes, my Father says, “No.”
He does it because He loves me so.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for answering my prayers.
Thank you for the many times that you said, “No,”
Because you did my blessings flow.
