Greg Loves Sarah

May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and power controlling
All I do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power.

May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.

May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

May His beauty rest upon me,
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him

.

…These words are the prayer of my heart. Him, and only Him. I praise my God, Who has begun a good work in me. He alone [not me or my efforts] is the Author and the Finisher of my faith. I kneel my heart before my King and offer praise…

Wouldn’t it be nice to have long arms?

I mean like r-e-a-l-l-y, REALLY long arms…..So long that you could reach across WHOLE states to hug a sister or a friend whenever you get the gumption.

I have one thing to say, “Go-Go Gadget Perky Arms!!!!!!” ;)

I love y’all!

Twas a little on the chilly side (somewhere around 50-60 degrees) earlier today as I headed out for a walk down our street with the goal of getting some pictures. The rice fields down the road have been flooded (as part of the growing process) and they look so nice! Here’s a glimpse of what you might see along our little road. The landscape is a tad on the flat side here – ok, so the biggest hill is the overpass over Interstate 10. BUT – if you take the time to look around, you can find beauty right at your doorstep. Oh, and maybe a touch of South Louisiana culture. :)

…Some not-quite flooded fields :)

…A crawfishin’ boat just settin’ there. And – no – there isn’t a man in it. That’s just pants and gloves hanging there :)

…Crawfish traps

…The tan house in the background is our home! Home is such a lovely place! :) It’s crawfish traps in the foreground. And don’t be tricked into thinking that that’s a hill in the middle. Tis just a levee – which I don’t think counts :P

I had wanted to get picture of the egrets that wade in the water looking for dinner, but they weren’t really around the first time I went out. So, I made another attempt a little later. I wanted to get in closer, so walked down the levee a bit, but I must’ve been detected and off they went :)

It was a niiiiiiiiiiiice day! :)

Y’all are precious to me!

“A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and sings it back to you when you have forgotten how it goes.”

Melanie: God is not looking for extraordinary people – He’s looking for ordinary people who will trust an extraordinary God…

Sarah: Thanks, Mellie-Malloo…For singing the song…My notes are a little flat tonight. So I am grateful.

Melanie: It doesn’t say, “make a choral melody” It says…”make a joyful noise.” To God…even our croaks are a rainbow of harmonies. Especially if they are weak hearts endeavoring to know God’s strength…

When we are weak…HE is STRONG…His mercies being NEW every morning… is what makes tomorrow different. Even when we do face our same failures…His faithfulness is greater than that.

Take Heart, Fair Maiden!!! Thy Heavenly Prince eternally knoweth thy every prayer…and will fulfill HIS perfect plan…in HIS perfect way…creating HIS perfection IN YOU…in HIS perfect time!

Sarah: Lord…I thank You for a friend that sings…And I thank You for my weaknesses…That they keep me coming back to You… :)

Today was a perfect day for a change of scenery…With the temperature in the low 70’s and the sun sparking through the partly cloudy sky, I headed out to CC’s [a Louisiana coffee spot] to work in the sunshine. It was so nice to feel the sunshine on my face without the chills that come with a cold breeze. And the strawberry smoothie was a perfect accent. :)

I do believe Spring is j u s t a r o u n d t h e c o r n e r ……….
