Many Thanks!

Praise to the Lord,
the Almighty,
the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him,
for He is Thy Health and Salvation!
Join the full throng:
Wake, harp and psalter and song;
Sound forth in glad adoration!

Praise to the Lord,
who doth prosper thy work and defend thee,
Who from the heavens
the streams of His mercy doth send thee.
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
Who with His love doth befriend thee.

Praise to the Lord!
Oh, let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath,
come now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.



What a beautiful hymn we sang in church on February 6, 2011! It has special meaning this week, as Mom is recovering after her angiogram on Wednesday, February 23, 2011.
"He is Thy Health and Salvation" ... such strong words filled with HOPE.

Mom, we wish you a very Happy Birthday coming up on Tuesday!

God Bless You!

In Loving Memory Of Laura

I remember strolling around the yard
with Laura and family, taking in the
wonderful sights and aroma of the garden.



God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
