“Awww…”

What fun we had looking at this 2001 photo calendar with Charlotte!!

She definitely thought those little girls were cute, 

but wasn’t quite sure they were Mommy and Aunt Bessie.

Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness 

while I am here in the land of the living.

Wait patiently for the Lord.

 Be brave and courageous.

Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

Psalms 27:13-14

 I’m always surprised by JOY!

Thank you, God for our beautiful water lilies that show up right on time!

From Grandmother Minnie and Aunt Bessie worshiping in these pews to Drew preaching today…

I’m thankful for faithful saints through the ages who sing in joy and sorrow while seeking Jesus.

I Stand Amazed 

I stand amazed in the presence 

Of Jesus the Nazarene,

And wonder how He could love me,

A sinner condemned, unclean.

How marvelous! How wonderful!

And my song shall ever be:

How marvelous! How wonderful!

Is my Savior’s love for me!

He took my sins and my sorrows,

He made them His very own;

He bore the burden to Calv’ry

And suffered, and died alone.

When with the ransomed in glory

His face I at last shall see,

‘Twill be my joy through the ages

To sing of His love for me. 

How marvelous! How wonderful!

And my song shall ever be:

How marvelous! How wonderful!

Is my Savior’s love for me!

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, 

and do not hinder them, 

for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Matthew 19:14

Surprised by joy when this beauty swooped in while I was cutting blooms!

Thank you, Lee for taking such good care of all the flowers this summer

 and sharing them so freely and generously with all of us!

“Walk into the fields and look at the wildflowers. 

They don’t fuss with their appearance - 

but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? 

The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. 

If God gives such attention to the wildflowers, most of them never even seen, 

don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do His best for you?”

Luke 12:27-28 MSG
