Thanks for carrying beauty with you, my friends! Isn’t our Father amazing!? Love you all.
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
I Thessalonians 4:16-18
I pray that this Wednesday finds you comforted…
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.â€
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim,
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.
And now complete in Him
My robe His righteousness,
Close sheltered ’neath His side,
I am divinely blest.
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.
When from my dying bed
My ransomed soul shall rise,
“Jesus died my soul to save,â€
Shall rend the vaulted skies.
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
I’ll lay my trophies down
All down at Jesus’ feet.
“People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in
their true beauty is revealed
only if there is light from within.”
~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
I’m back home! Nashville was great – lots of lessons, lots of giggles, lots of grace….Wowsers,we laughed a LOT! :-) I want to post pics for y’all. Maybe later tonight. Probably not. I am home with Mom and Dad. Tomorrow, I head back to Big Sandy. SO – I need to spend a majority of my time snuggling with my mother :-D
These words are so lovely…the first part of the chorus was a real encouragement to me:
May He be the strength of your heart! Remember, He ALWAYS gives sufficient grace. ALWAYS.
