Know When To Keep Your Mouth Shut

Know when to keep your mouth shut;
Know when to speak the truth.
Know when to love and forgive,
And when to be done with it all.

Know when people are fooling you,
And know when you need to be harsh.
Know when you need to be strong and hard,
And when you can be fragile and sweet.

This life is full of ups and down,
Disappointments in who you hoped in most,
But one thing no one can ever take from you -
Is the One True Love who is there no matter what.

He Giveth More Grace

1. He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,

1. He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;

1. To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,

1. To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.

1. When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
   When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
   When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
   Our Father’s full giving is only begun.
2. Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
   Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
   Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
   The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.
3. His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
   His power no boundary known unto men;
   For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
   He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

Sometimes A Girl's Gotta Know

Sometimes a girl's gotta know when to step back,
And just support her friend and her significant other,
Telling them the truth and wishing them the best,
And supporting her in every humanly way possible.

One of my closest friends got engaged this weekend,
And it was absolutely beautiful.
I was secretly there to take photos,
Which her now fiance had perfectly planned in advance.

Now they are both in Arizona,
Where his father unexpectedly died.
There is a long road for these two,
But they can both make it, as long as they both choose to.
