Trustworthy and True

Most of us in this area are inconvenienced rather than suffering...
With limited supplies at the grocery stores

and with social distancing due to COVID-19

...but grand-sonny after a week at home has had ENOUGH 

of no seeing his friends at Sunday School or other 

church programs, no play-dates. 

Even the library is closed.

Twice yesterday he referred to the 'the wost day evoh!' 

Cheer up Grand-sonny!

We are all learning to appreciate more with less!

And what sometimes seems like 'the wost' is often teaching us The Best.

Big hugs and prayers to all the moms and dads

navigating these uncertain times!

Treasure the gift of extra together-time that we often wish for

in those too-busy days

(p.s. Grand-sonny's 'wost day' remark provoked after they dropped a baby-swing off
on one of his best friends porches but they couldn't stay)

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”

Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

Rev. 21:5

It's a new week. 

For whatever lies ahead that we know not, this we do;

Romans 8:28
And we know that God works all things together 

for the good of those who love Him, 

who are called according to His purpose.

Dusk's bare bones...

are mantled in white this morning...

To find the courage for the fight

To fit us for the charge

Bids us believe in more than sight

The battle is the Lord’s

From surrender flows strength and pow’r

Such as we never knew

He ushers to the darkest hour

Words trustworthy and true

To find comfort in suffering

We first must yield our will

Beneath the shelter of His wing

He whispers ‘peace, be still’

For there the howling enemy

Cannot invade the heart

And there faith sets the captive free

And shields us from fear’s dart

For they who kill the body, love

Cannot destroy the Soul

And only death will fully prove

The glory of the goal

Thus, we find courage for the fight

Thus, hope will not grow dim

As we believe in more than sight

As we believe in Him

As we believe in Him we seize

Words trustworthy and true

Where only His voice can appease

Fear for what man will do
