Beautiful Christian Sister ~
BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER
By Maya Angelou
'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to
seek Him first to find her.'
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin''
I'm whispering 'I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and
& nbsp; need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and
need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but,
God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches,
so I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holi er than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
Pretty is as Pretty does... But beautiful is just plain beautiful!
I received this from a dear online friend. I have read this before but I thought it was so nice I wanted to share it with all my beautiful friends. I hope you have a great Saturday. My Oldest daughter will be turning seventeen next week. I am so proud of her and her sister. We are going to spend the weekend shopping and doing girl things for Holly's birthday. Thanks for coming to visit. Blessings. Lisa

I am a Christian...and I know I have received God's grace....
when I was growing up...and would be dressed for something special...my mom always said to me
"My dear you look very pretty, and just remember that Pretty is as Pretty Does!"
I have never forgotten those words...
and now I see them on your blog...
thanks for the memory!!
Have a wonderful Palm Sunday tomorrow,
Mimi
Hi Lisa,
I love this poem by Maya. It says so much that I relate to..it says so much about my flaws and weakness but it's all about HIM! I like that because there is nothing good in me. Just a sinner saved by Grace!
I hope you're enjoying the weekend with the birthday girl! Happy Birthday, Holly!
Love and Hugs,
Hope
Hi, I noticed your blog on my friend Nancy's blog and thought I would take a look. I like how you have it set up. I am just learning to blog. God Bless!
Happy Birthday to Holly..
Thanks for this beautiful poem post.
God bless you...
Thanks for visiting me. I have read this poem before and enjoyed reading it again. It's a good one. I'm also enjoying your music.
PS - Shelly (above) is a friend of mine as is Nancy who she mentions. This blogging world is a small one!
