Grateful Prayer | Thankful Heart

the skies proclaim the work of his hands

By Lorraine

This past Friday evening, after the earlier downpours, a front came through and the sky was ablaze with color.  John took Raider out to walk around the house and called to me to see how amazing the sky looked. These photos were taken in a five minute time span and the colors were not altered or enhanced .

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Psalm 19:1

Jesus Loves Me

By Lorraine

I couldn’t resist a photo of this unassuming lovey-bear, with his contented smile, carefully propped on a pillow when our granddaughters made their bed
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
John 3:16

Help Me Find It

By Lorraine

Just heard this song for the first time and really like it.  Are you familiar with it?

Sidewalk Prophets- Help Me Find It (Official Lyric Video)

Help Me Find It
Sidewalk Prophets from the album Live Like That
I don’t know where to go from here 
It all used to seem so clear 
I’m finding I can’t do this on my own 
I don’t know where to go from here 
As long as I know that You are near 
I’m done fighting 
I’m finally letting go 
I will trust in You 
You’ve never failed before 
I will trust in You 
(Chorus )
If there’s a road I should walk 
Help me find it 
If I need to be still 
Give me peace for the moment 
Whatever Your will 
Whatever Your will 
Can You help me find it 
Can You help me find it 
I’m giving You fear and You give faith 
I giving You doubt
You give me grace 
For every step I’ve never been alone 
Even when it hurts, You’ll have Your way 
Even in the valley I will say 
With every breath 
You’ve never let me go 
I will wait for You 
You’ve never failed before 
I will wait for You 
Chorus
I lift my empty hands (come fill me up again) 
Have Your way my King (I give my all to You) 
I lift my eyes again (Was blind but now I see) 
‘Cause You are all I need 
Chorus

Happy 4th!

Battle Hymn of the Republic
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish`d rows of steel,
“As ye deal with my contemnors, so with you my grace shall deal;”
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
He has sounded from the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
