Life: life of Love poured out, fragrant and holy! Life: ‘mid rude thorns of earth, stainless and sweet! Life: whence God’s face of love, glorious, but lowly, Shines forth to bow us, low at Thy feet! Grief: grief of Love, that drew hate’s every arrow! Grief: that Thy suffering heart only could meet. Grief: whence Thy face of love, shining in sorrow, Draws us, adoring, low at Thy feet! Death: death of stricken Love, wrath’s sea exploring! Death: Life’s mysterious death — deep meeting deep; Death: whence Thy bursting heart fills ours, outpouring All, Lord, in worship, low at Thy feet!                                     Tune by Samuel Webbe 1740-1816                                  Hymn words by Frank Allaben 1867-1927

It's March again!

How time flies! I am sorry about my lack of posts recently...... It is March again, which means pretty soon I can post pictures of budding blooms and flowering trees and all that good stuff! I love the Springtime. It is full of hope and newness of life. It reminds me of the Lord Jesus' words:   " I have come that they may have life, and that they may have  it  more abundantly." (John 10:10) Without Jesus Christ in my life, I would be miserable and hopeless, headed toward a Christless grave, but as I grow day by day in my friendship with the Lord, I see just how much grace, love and mercy He has given me! I am so blessed to be an adopted child of God and a joint heir with Christ. "Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.   For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.    For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
