What God Promises

What God Promises
He doesn't promise sunny days;
just a rainbow at the end of a storm.
He doesn't promise silver and gold,
but to provide for your needs.
He doesn't promise to make
your life trouble free,
just to give you the strength
to see things through.
He doesn't promise all the answer,
just that He'll direct your path.
He doesn't promise you understanding,
but faith that well see you through.
He doesn't promise freedom
from despair,
only enjoy and peace in believing.
He doesn't promise that
you'll never fail,
just that your strength and hope
will be renewed.
He doesn't promise
you'll have no fears,
but that He is always there.
Most of all, He promises
unconditional and everlasting love.

I love Lassie
Benji the Movie
Benji the Movie
Dogs have played a variety of roles in numerous movies. Their roles have exceeded the dog "dog character". They played roles that are not just pets and buntings of a movie. They have been saviours, heroes at that, matchmakers, confidant, athletes, police detectives, and many more. Benji the Movie showed the cute dog as an integral character in the movie. Children would love to watch this movie because of Benji. Adults would also enjoy the movie for its light romantic comedy story.
Love your dog.
