Smile

Smile

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky
you'll get by.

If you smile through your pain and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrowYou'll see the sun shining through
For you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying.
You'll find that life is still worthwhile-If you just smile.

More Sunday notes

Another batch. : D

Psalms 126:6

My notes look tiny for this service. : (

Matthew 16:26 is one of my favorite verses.

This song is wonderful.

You know what's sad? I just googled the lyrics for the song, and they didn't have any hits for it. : (

I'll write it out. It's WAAY worth it.

Wait. I just noticed the copyright at the bottom... :S I don't think I should.

But look up By His Grace in one of our hymnals. It's 467. I wrote the number on my hand so I'd remember it when I got home. : )

Love, Bethan

Sunday notes...

I'm on the school room computer, so instead of posting pictures, I'm going to write.

Since this computer has a much better keyboard, even if it is loud. At least the space button doesn't stick. That drives me crazy. The other computer has the good pictures, and this one has the good keyboard. : )

v. 28 Look to his coming with preparation-'abide' continue in Him

These are on the #8 note sheet that pastor handed out. I mean, not all, of the notes, that I added in (i.e., my notes.), but the verses, and a lot of it. I am *so* thankful for these sheets. They help studying so much!

We didn't finish the second chapter. We got to... um... 19, I think? I'm not *quite* sure. : )

How much AWESOME stuff there is from 18-29. (The things that I noted, but not fully, since we didn't cover it all.) I'm so thankful for a pastor who goes in and studies with us. Not just reading a couple of pieces of scripture, saying, "This is the reading of the word of God" and then being done. All that you got from the service was what the neighbors are doing from the hour of announcements.

I know the beginning of the notes looks sketchy. We've been studying the top part several times, so I didn't go very deep into it. I was trying to just get it down, so I knew the verses, and the main point of them. Which I didn't do on all of them.

I was so happy to have pastor there. Mr. Brown is doing an excellent job!! But I know that we all love when pastor is able to be there.

I love my pastor.
God is so good to give us such a wonderful church and church family.

Love, Bethan
