Strawberries

I spent 1/2 an hour strawberry picking in our back garden this afternoon ... now I'll have to think what to do with them all. Yum Yum.

Filled with blood

There is a fountain filled with blood

Drawn from Immanuel's veins;

And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,

Lose all their guilty stains.

The dying thief rejoiced to see

That fountain in his day;

And there have I, though vile as he,

Washed all my sins away.

Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood

Shall never lose its power,

Till all the ransomed church of God

Be saved to sin no more.

E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream

Thy flowing wounds supply,

Redeeming love has been my theme,

And shall be till I die.

Then in a nobler, sweeter song

I'll sing Thy power to save,

When this poor lisping, stammering tongue

Lies silent in the grave.

The steadfast love of God ...

Commit now all your griefs

And ways into His hands,

To His sure Truth and tender care,

Who earth and heaven commands.

Who points the clouds their course,

Whom winds and seas obey,

He shall direct your wandering feet,

He shall prepare your way.

Put all your trust in God,

In duty’s path go on;

Fix on His work your steadfast eye,

So shall your work be done.

No profit can be gained

By self-consuming care;

To Him commend your cause; His ear

Attends the softest prayer.

Through waves and clouds and storms

He gently clears your way:

Wait, then, His time; so shall this night

Soon end in joyous day.

Leave to His sovereign sway

To choose and to command;

So shall you, wondering, own His way,

How wise, how strong His hand!

Let us, in life and death,

His steadfast Truth declare,

And publish with our latest breath

His love and guardian care.

Friday Sky #10

Both taken this morning at the same time, the sky is very similar to last week.

Look at this sky!

Taken from our bedroom window yesterday morning at 7:04am. Beautiful isn't it?

More Skies ...

Don't know what happened to the ones since then??

Taken today, a grey day ...

Friday Sky #7

These photos were taken within a minute.

It was certainly a day of sunshine and showers.

Friday Sky #6

Shropshire sky - a very hot day!

Friday Sky #5

Another blue sky - if I had taken this 6 hours earlier the sky would have looked grey, but we still haven't had rain.

I am a woman ...

I am a woman, not a man, created second in God's plan.
God's plan for womanhood is good; I wouldn't change it if I could.
