FACTS AND IMPRESSIONS

July 2nd, 2001

FOUR THINGS

"Four things in any land must dwell,

If it endures and prospers well:

One is manhood true and good;

One is noble womanhood;

One is child life, clean and bright;

And one is an altar kept alight."

An unknown author

It all happens if we let it.

Sing with the song

Give thanks with a grateful heart

Give thanks to the Holy One

Give thanks because He’s given

Jesus Christ His Son

So now if we are weak let us say we are strong

If we are poor let us realize we are really rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us.

And realize with the Psalmist (118:28-29) that it’s because we can if we will proclaim:

"You are my God, and I will

give thanks to you;

you are my God, I will

extol you.

O give thanks to the Lord,

for he is good,

for his steadfast love

endures forever."
