ONE OF MY FAVORITE HYMNS
This is one of my favorite hymns,
O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
sung by Anne Walsh
O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Vast unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me, is the current
of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward to
Thy glorious rest above!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth
never, nevermore!
How He watches o'er His loved ones,
died to call them all His own
how for them He intercedeth, watcheth
o'er them from the throne!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
'Tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me
And it lifts me up to glory,
for it lifts me up to Thee!

BLESSINGS
Here are some blessings
for St. Patrick's Day,
& beyond.....
May you always have work for your hands to do
May your pockets hold always a coin or two
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
And may God fill your heart
May your pockets hold always a coin or two
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
And may God fill your heart
with gladness to cheer you.
& one more...
& one more...
CONTENTMENT
I think the apostle Paul said this first.
Martha must've read her Bible!
Phil. 4:11-13. I hope Martha had read the best part; v.13:
'I can do all things through Him (Christ) who strengthens me.'LETS HEAR IT FOR CROWS!
Crows are among the most intelligent of birds. Experiments indicate that American crows can count to three or four, are good at solving puzzles, have good memories, employ a diverse and behaviorally complex range of vocalizations and quickly learn to associate various noises and symbols with food.

This is unbelievable!
I'm not sure what country this is from,
or what language the people are speaking,
but just watch the crow!
He has a small, round lid, & is using it
to slide down the rooftop!
So funny!
Notice when he flies away, he takes his lid with him!
These photos are of our 'almost pet', Joe, the Crow.
He & his family are never far from our yard, &
come flying onto the driveway when we call.
Here he is on our back patio, while
I'm standing only a few feet away with the camera.
If he wants peanuts,
he sits on a branch outside my bay window,
or outside the kitchen window,
& waits until I see him.
Joe & his family have been regular members
of our yard menagerie for over three years.
Surprisingly, they are very compatable
with the many chipmunks we feed.
They even (quite vigorously!) chase hawks
from our yard, much to our delight!

WHAT'S NEW?
As we begin 2012, here are some beautiful PROMISES from God's Word for the NEW YEAR.
