A Walk With The Lord

Nine below zero isn't bad at all when the warmth of God's love is in one's heart.

It's nine below zero outside,
The air is so crisp and so clean;
So, I took a walk with my dog,
The feeling was really quite keen.

Not a soul out at four AM,
As we walked the snow covered road;
Looked up at the sky and the stars,
I felt all my burdens unload.

I stopped to say a short prayer,
Thanked God for life's little blessings;
Felt all His love run through my veins,
Thanked Him for all of His lessons.

I asked Him to give me more strength,
As I start to walk a new trail;
Said I'd give Him one hundred percent,
Asked if He would help me not fail.

The stars all seemed to get brighter,
As if angels had heard my plea;
Thank You Lord, for Your loving ways,
I thank You for caring for me.

I promised God I'd do my best,
I promised to follow His lead;
To help others along the trails,
To be right there for those in need.

The frigid air began to stir,
Warming me right down to my heart;
The moon came from behind a cloud,
Promising me a bright new start.

I said, Lord, I'll not let You down,
I'll use all Your blessings wisely;
I'll try to walk as Jesus did,
And always love You faithfully.

Then my Luv and I went inside,
Ready to start a bright new day;
Knowing that God had been with us,
As He helped to show us The Way.
