Thankful Thursday

I'm forever thankful for the grace of God's love for me, Jesus coming to save me, and the Holy Spirit guiding me.

I'm also thankful today for...

1. Awareness of God's presence
2. Sunshine peeking out from behind clouds
3. The privilege of voting in public elections for government representatives
4. An abundance of opportunities
5. Caregiving situations for our son
6. Freedom to share about God
7. God's promise to provide for me always
8. Prayerful friends
9. Skype conversations with my grandchildren
10. Paved roads between Alabama and Texas! : )

Sunday Rest...

There is a place of quiet rest... near to the heart of God.

Near to the Heart of God

There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of comfort sweet,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where we our Savior meet,
Near to the heart of God.

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of full release,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where all is joy and peace,
Near to the heart of God.

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.

The WORD, for Wednesday

~

"And He has said to me,
'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.'
Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses,
so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses,
with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake;
for when I am weak, then I am strong."

2 Corinthians 12:9,10
