NEW DAY SHALL DAWN!

The dead shall wait and the living will Praise the Lord. My father passed peacefully away early this morning at about 3:00am, January 28,2008. Mother has also gone two years ago. Now we shall wait on that great day when Jesus shall come and make our lives new ...............

Bless The Lord, Oh My Soul!

Psalms 103

Bless the Lord, O my soul
And all that is within me
Bless His holy name
Bless the Lord, O my soul
And forget not all His benefits
Who heals all your diseases
Who redeems your life from destruction
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies
Who satisfies your mouth with good things
So that your youth is renewed like the eagles
The executes righteousness
And justice for all those who are oppressed
He made known His ways to Moses
His acts to the children of Israel
The Lord is merciful and gracious
Slow to anger and abounding in mercy
He will not always strive with us
Nor will He keep His anger forever
For as the heavens are high above the earth
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him
The Lord has established His throneIn heaven and His kingdom rules over all

January Sunrise

Breathtaking skies this morning and crisp mountain air. It's amazing the beauty that surrounds us!

Sunshine and rain, snow and cold
Mountains still stand
Life to life all power is given
Expressions in beauty invitations send
Bouncing cursor tell the story!

What is the point to this
Just a tot, just a title
Waived by the wind
Constance is valid
But whim is rule.
Century to century all the same

Our life is a potted plant
Nurtured, fed, trimmed and pruned,
Forgotten, remembered
But always in the care of the
Master’s hands.

Saved by the Hands


If you should paint a picture of their hands.
And draw them up on your canvas of life.
Beyond the years you can see,
Labour and tears hiding the laughter
These hands have worked me.

Once a hand formed a flower.
Once a hand gave us music.
Once a hand gave us hope.
Another hand has grasped the clasp!

For our hands to find comfort.
To hold the one who would take our place,
To grasp the one who was tired of reaching,
With the strength of His hands our hands are held.
We found a place in a mended family!

Granite Walls


O rock that’s washed from waters old
Rock that is barren from the sand
O Rock, Thou that left seeds of faith in me
Rock that is solid ground for me
Rock of Ages wash me once again
Rivers of Noah’s waters flow over
Seeds of faith in granite grain

Wonder of wonders O barren land
You laid lush the sand doesn’t know
And gold the flow in granite veins
Layers of secret messages stir
Compel my soul the waters flow
While the ages wonder till mysteries be revealed
Monuments of truth became one with me
And heavens windows open
Fair Jesus, you’ll come for me

O rock you carried the weight of the world
Like the Savior
Who carried my weight on granite shoulders
Wash me once again
Cover it white like snow
Made the streams to flow again
Water for my soul, water to my life
Jesus, living water, more than snow.

MAY DAY

Another day of pouring rain
One more day of work
Another lonely evening.
Thinking, once I was a child,
longing to be grown up,
Almost there and then
A child again.

Now too old to make a difference,
Thankful for the years gone by.
Thankful for a roof, and things of life.
Thankful for the birds—yellow & black.
For a sewing machine!

Sad, because of a daughter lost.
Knowledge of her parents heritage
Unknown, unrelenting, unlovable,
Forgotten, and hidden to grow old.

O Jesus - turn the box around!
Open it up.
Let us examine the contents.
Add the treasures of Your
Care, Content, Consideration
And there your child shall find
The rain is soft and belonged.
