Pictures

Well I have been playing with photos the last few days and it would really consume all my time if I allowed it too. I've decided that I would love to take photos part time as fun for a hobby so this is my first attempt at any type of editing and photo taking.So you all will have to let me know what you think!

Is this the way we would sing these well-known hymns–if we were honest.

I Surrender Some

There Shall Be Sprinkles of Blessings

Fill My Spoon, Lord

Oh, How I Like Jesus

He’s Quite a Bit to Me

I Love to Talk About Telling the Story

Take My Life and Let Me Be

It is My Secret What God Can Do

There is Scattered Cloudiness in My Soul Today

Onward, Christian Reserves

Where He Leads Me, I Will Consider Following

Just As I Pretend to Be

When the Saints Go Sneaking In

When I led songs Sunday Night we started with Psalms 100. After we sang thru once the Lord impressed upon me to stop and read the words of those verses. At times we sing songs without actually thinking about what we are singing. We sing from memory so to speak never stopping to think about what the song means. If we would think about the powerful words behind each song we sing what a wonderful blessing we could receive. I think that true worship begins once we stop and HEAR the words of a song and stop just singing from memory. So next time you are singing a song, take a minute to really focus on it's meaning.

I posted these quote back in April of 2007 and thought I would pull them back out. They make you stop and think!

Have a great day!

Mothers Day

Well Mothers Day is just right around the corner. I was reading today online and they were talking about what mom's really wanted for Mothers Day and none of them listed "GIFTS" but they all wanted to just spend time with their children. We sometimes get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of life that we don't take the time for the little things in life. For instance have you ever told your child it was time for bed and they asked you to tuck you in and you asked your spouse to do it so you could finish up the dishes? I know I have, but I want to cherish every minute I have with my children. They are truly a gift from God and I never want to forget that. I was reading Brother Queeners book Sunday and was reading of how he and his wife lost several children with in an hour of their birth and I thought about how horribly it would be to loose 1 much less 3 or 4. God has truly blessed me with two wonderful children and I never want to take that for granted!

I hope all you wonderful Mothers have a great Mothers Day and get to spend time with your family.
