"Sing to the LORD a new song;
Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, praise His name;
Proclaim His salvation day after day.
Declare His glory among the nations,
His marvelous deeds among the peoples.
For great is the LORD ans most worthy of praise..."
Psalm 96: 1-4a
Filled to overflowing, I add another page to my journal
as I thank Him for the gifts of His hand~
941
another week... another grace-filled week
942
marked by the colors of His hand
943
red (my favorite :)
944
with pink (hers :)
945
and a splash of iridescence to top it all off
946
{Bub}, you need to make the wise choice. ~Big Man947
little ears that listen... that hear... that learn
948
a hand-me-down typewriter and hours of letter-writing fun
949
"Mommy, I have to type-write!" ~Lollipop
950
her finished product... "It says, 'Obey your parents, Mom.' "
951
{Big Man}, we can wear shorts today!!!
952
spring-like temperatures... WARMTH finally here
953
A picnic dinner... on the patio. And the John Deere trike.
954
and boys that never grow too big for such things
955
bumping in to a friend I haven't seen since high school... in the Costco parking lot
956
and then again on the pool deck after Big Man's swim practice
957
this small, small world
958
freckles
959
"Mommy, it's a beautiful morning!!"
960
a quiet Sunday-- Chris and the kids out of town, enjoying their get-away
961
me at home... the garden to myself
962
his thoughtfulness
963
spring break
964
six-year old curiosity
"Mom, is God taller than (Uncle) Dave?
Because in my red Bible, He's really small.
But in my white Bible, He's MUCH bigger."
965
and the Truth that sets men free
966
Christ's triumphal entry... His Selfless Sacrifice... His LOVE, poured out for me... Victory over the grave
Jesus has overcome and the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
~Chris Tomlin
967
... grace to rise
"But He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on Him,
and by His wounds we are healed."
Isaiah 53:5

Heather,
Your photos are exquisite this week, friend. And your words of thankfulness are music to my ears. What a blessing it is to remember the good gifts that come from His hand... gifts that keep on giving. Keep it up, Heather. You're pleasing the Father with your attention and your words of love. And you're blessing more people than you know as you go! Especially me! :) Have a beautiful Holy Week basking in His grace and mercy. Much love and a big hug from me to you,
Christine
