Lost and Found

Coming home from our Thanksgiving get together at Grandmommie's home we found a little white bunny hopping along a busy road. Dad was driving past when he slammed the brakes and began backing up. (Don't worry, there weren't any cars passing by just then!) Benjamin jumped out of the van and caught the little bunny and we began home, wondering who this little fellow belonged to. The two houses along the road were dark and so we decided to come back when the people were home. Mom and Dad went out the next day and found the owners. The little girl was so happy! The next day Mama and Adrian brought the sweet rabbit back. Mom took some pictures too.

Adrian handing the bunny to a very happy girl.

Isn't she cute?

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

by Charles Wesley

O for a thousand tongues to sing

My great Redeemer's praise,

The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of His grace!

My gracious Master and my God,

Assist me to proclaim,

To spread through all the earth abroad

The honors of Thy name.

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,

That bids our sorrows cease;

'Tis music in the sinner's ears,

'Tis life, and health, and peace.

He breaks the power of canceled sin,

He sets the prisoner free;

His blood can make the foulest clean,

His blood availed for me.

He speaks, and listening to His voice,

New life the dead receive,

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,

The humble poor believe.

On this glad day the glorious Sun

Of Righteousness arose;

On my benighted soul He shone

And filled it with repose.

Sudden expired the legal strife,

'Twas then I ceased to grieve;

My second, real, living life

I then began to live.

Then with my heart I first believed,

Believed with faith divine,

Power with the Holy Ghost received

To call the Savior mine.

I felt my Lord's atoning blood

Close to my soul applied;

Me, me He loved, the Son of God,

For me, for me He died!

"I... heard the voice of many angles, numbering thousands upon thousands." 

Revelation 5:11

I wanted to share with you this immortal hymn written by Charles Wesley. He wrote over 6,500 hymns! This song was written on the anniversary of his conversion to Christ. It's powerful message and joyful tune is such a wonderful reminder of Christ's great love for us!

For Today

Outside my window... Is a dreary, drippy, rainy, day. If it wasn't so cold, I'd be out in it!

I am thinking... Of the many lost souls, who have no hope and no life. Who don't know who Jesus is. I am thinking of the Persecuted Christians who are willing to die for their strong faith in Him. Who are willing to tell their persecutors of the One who died for them. 

I am thankful for... My family. My wonderful parents and brother.

From the kitchen... There's not much going one. Mom and I just finished the dishes.

I am creating... A scarf for my cousin Haydon. It's almost done!

I am going... Nowhere today. 

I am reading... I just finished reading A Tale of Two Cities. It's become my no. 1 favorite Dickens book.

I am hoping... Spring will hurry up and get here! Can't wait to start our garden!

I am hearing... Rain pouring from a blackened sky.

Around the house... It's peacefully quiet. Adrian is taking a nap!

Picture for thought... An email-pal of mine sent it to me. Yum. Makes me want to eat some chocolate covered strawberries!

Blessings!
