Keeping our eyes on HIM :-)

 
shortbread I made for the F.M. (Farmer's Mkt.) 


I was just thinking this week of how we get wrapped up in our day to day lives, school, work, swimming lessons, photography, music practice, that sometimes we forget to think about our Savior, Jesus Christ.

If we took a few moments each day to stop and reflect on His saving grace towards us and the great, terrible price he paid for our salvation from sin.... it would cause us to fall to our knees in humble gratitude.

May we praise the Savior, ye who know Him!

  1. Praise the Savior, ye who know Him!
    Who can tell how much we owe Him?
    Gladly let us render to Him
      All we are and have.
  2. Jesus is the name that charms us;
    He for conflicts fits and arms us;
    Nothing moves and nothing harms us
      When we trust in Him.
  3. Trust in Him, ye saints, forever;
    He is faithful, changing never;
    Neither force nor guile can sever
      Those He loves from Him.
  4. Keep us, Lord, oh, keep us cleaving
    To Thyself and still believing,
    Till the hour of Thy receiving
      The victorious Bride.
  5. Then we shall be where we would be;
    Then we shall be what we should be;
    Things which are not now, nor could be,
      Then shall be our own.

He sells "ugly tomatoes" and "ugly cucumbers" because he can't grow a pretty tomato, he said.   :-)

Thanks for sharing this link for the song, Elizabeth! I printed out the music for it, and just keep singing it!

Keeping our eyes focused on the Savior, is so needful!

Photos from England

Stonehenge My dad and I went along with a tour group from the US to learn more about the history of Operation Tiger. We got to meet two American veterans who also came to England. I learned the history of Operation Tiger which I had not been aware of before. This year is the 70th Anniversary of Operation Tiger. They had a big ceremony at Slapton Sands near a tank that was recovered after the war. Exercise Tiger , or  Operation Tiger , was the code name for one in a series of large-scale rehearsals for the  D-Day  invasion of  Normandy , which took place on  Slapton Sands  or Slapton Beach in  Devon . (In late 1943) Coordination and communication problems resulted in  friendly fire  deaths during the exercise, and an Allied convoy positioning itself for the landing was attacked by  E-boats  of the German  Kriegsmarine , resulting in the deaths of 946  American   servicemen.

Jesus Christ - and We

Jesus Christ- and We Christ has no hands but our hands ,   to do His work today; He has no feet but our feet   to lead men in His way; He has no tongue but  our tongues to tell men how He died, He has no help but our help   to bring them to His side. We are the only Bible,  the careless world will read; We are the sinners' gospel,  we are the scoffers' creed; We are the Lord's last message,  Written in deed and word- what if the line is crooked,  what if the type is blurred? What if our hands are busy,  with other work than His, What if our feet are walking,  where sin's allurement is? What if our tongues are speaking, of things His lips would spurn, How can we hope to help Him,  Unless from Him we learn? By Annie Johnson Flint  (1862-1932)    I was going through my old school folders and found this great poem. It is so true. We as Christians are to show the world how Christ would act and talk. If we let Him live through us we will stand out a
