Since I was going to meet Liz for lunch, I figured Ilene would love to go along since she loves the kids and Elisabeth, too! We met at Cracker Barrel.
Just a few boxes.........
On the way to church on Wednesday, the clouds and the sun together were beautiful! You know I love taking cloud pictures. It's even better when the rays of the sun are shining through them! And coming through storm clouds, the rays are spectacular!
When I see the rays of the sun coming through the clouds, I always think of the song, "Redemption Draweth Nigh!" "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:28).
Here's the song:
Years of time have come and gone
Since I first heard it told
How Jesus would come again some day
If back then it seemed so real
Then I just can’t help but feel
How much closer His coming is today
CHORUS:
Since I first heard it told
How Jesus would come again some day
If back then it seemed so real
Then I just can’t help but feel
How much closer His coming is today
CHORUS:
Signs of the times are everywhere
There’s a brand new feeling in the air
Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky
Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh
Wars and strife on every hand
And violence fills our land
Still some people doubt He’ll ever come again
But the Word of God is true
He’ll redeem His chosen few
Don’t lose hope soon Christ Jesus will descend
There’s a brand new feeling in the air
Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky
Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh
Wars and strife on every hand
And violence fills our land
Still some people doubt He’ll ever come again
But the Word of God is true
He’ll redeem His chosen few
Don’t lose hope soon Christ Jesus will descend
Even so, COME, LORD Jesus!
LOVE the silhouette of the church against the clouds!
Today, my day began with a smoothie! And what better thing to go with a smoothie than reading God's Word! The rest of the day was spent working on the computer desk in the bedroom that houses my books, etc., and cleaning off the top of my dresser, fixing guacamole and supper.
And, speaking of guacamole......
Jessica Ann, the guacamole turned out pretty well! Mark likes it......except, that might not mean anything, lol! (Right, sweetie?) Here's the recipe:
