            Those Little Gold Nuggets...

Every path I’ve taken for the Lord in my entire life’s history,
       I've found gold nuggets on the path, placed there just for me.
It took me a while to notice them. At first I didn’t see them there.
       But then I began to realize they’d been placed with great care.
I found them where I least expected and when they were needed most.
       It wasn’t long when I realized they’d been placed by a Heavenly Host.

Too, it became obvious that the Host knew I would come this way
       and that it was Him that had placed these nuggets in my pathway.
I soon learned the nuggets weren’t there to help the work grow,
       that each had been placed there simply to make my heart glow.
For each gold nugget turned out to be a special gift in my life;
       a great blessing, a miracle for either me, my family or my wife.

And so it will be with every calling He will ask you to do.
       He will line the pathway with little gold nuggets just for you.
If you will accept your callings, if you will give them your best,
       I promise you in the name of the Lord, He will bless your little nest.
He will bless them temporally and eternally with blessings that will last.
       Your testimony, your faith in Him will become immovable and steadfast.

   "And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto
   the voice of the Lord thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, blessed shalt thou be in the field.
   Blessed shalt be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground...Blessed shall be thy basket
   and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when
   thou goest out. The Lord shall command the blessings upon thee in thy storehouses,
   and in all that thou settest thine hand unto..." Deuteronomy 28:2-8
