Go On

Jul29

Go On

Go on, go on, go on in the Lord.
Be strengthened, go on in the Lord.
Your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
You must go on, go on in the Lord.

Trials may come and discouragements, too.
You must go on, go on in the Lord.
Yesterday’s gone and His mercies are new.
You must go on, go on in the Lord.

Press on, press on, press on in the Lord.
Be strengthened, press on in the Lord.
Your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
You must press on, press on in the Lord.

To worry is vain—He will care for Your needs.
You must go on, go on in the Lord.
Tomorrow’s not here and it never may be.
You must go on, go on in the Lord.

Sail on, sail on, sail on in the Lord.
Be strengthened, sail on in the Lord.
Your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
You must sail on, sail on in the Lord.

You must sail on, sail on,
Press on, press on,
You must go on, and on in the Lord.

frankies heart

Jul23

Dear Readers,
You might find today’s post a bit unusual, because I have never used ABOUT THESE THINGS to promote my books or my work in any way. That’s not what ATT is about. But Frankie’s Heart is different from anything I have written before. With themes of hope, forgiveness, and new beginnings, this book exists for two reasons: to glorify God, and to bless its readers. And so, after much prayer and consideration, i decided to announce its release here.

Thank you, God. For rivers in the desert. For this man, and this moment, and for new beginnings, she prayed.
Recently widowed, Frankie Bonetti bought an unloved fixer upper house that spoke to her heart, asking for a second chance. And Frankie’s heart said yes.
Now her heart is saying yes to a once-in-a-lifetime love.
Tracy Johanson also knows the pain of loss on several levels. A genius with woodworking, he’s good at nearly everything except forgiving himself. With Tracy’s head at war with his heart, God is about to step in, and through Frankie, guide him onto a new path, a new future, and a blessed reconciliation with his estranged son in the most destined of ways…

The book is available at https://www.amazon.com/Frankies-Heart-M-Jean-Pike-ebook/dp/B07FLQD1MH/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1532283993&sr=1-1&keywords=m+jean+pike

If you are not a fan of Christian Romance, thanks for bearing with me! If you decide to pick up a copy of Frankie’s Heart, I hope you will be blessed!

Wonderful Peace

Jul22

Refrain:

Wonderful Peace

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

Refrain:
Peace! peace! wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above;
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,
In fathomless billows of love.

What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in the heart of my soul;
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll.

Refrain

O soul, are you here without comfort or rest,
Walking down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O accept this sweet peace so sublime.

Refrain
