Jilly, I'm sure Bryan would be playfully offended at my calling him "the short one" and heck, even if it made him mad, I'm bigger than he is. ;) :p He might be more perturbed at you referring to him as a hyper yo-yo. LOL

Sarah, I love the message in that song. I love your new avatar! ::yes::

Fur! Good to see you, Thanks for the songs and scripture! :hug:

cheeringmom, I just noticed your new signature, can't think of a nicer guy to share a birthday with. :)

"Oh how great is thy goodness." Psalms 31:19

No heart is bigger, No arm is stronger.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

His Heart Is Big Enough/Michael English


You say you've been gone, for so long
You're just not sure, which way is home
You're almost too tired, to walk
You're so worn out, from being alone

He is right there beside you
And He wants you to know
He still cares, He still wants you
For His own

His heart is, big enough to love you
Even though you turned Him away
His arms are, long enough to save you
And give you another chance
To make up for your mistakes
His grace is, more than sufficient
Even when your heart aches
Even though your to blame
His heart is, big enough to love you
So run back to Him, today

There's no reason to be afraid
You're not in His way,He understands
He knows how to forgive, and forget
Don't give up yet, You're in His hands

He's been right there beside you
And He wants you to know
He still cares, He still wants you
For His own

His heart is, big enough to love you
Even though you turned Him away
His arms are, long enough to save you
And give you another chance
To make up for your mistakes
His grace is, more than sufficient
Even when your heart aches
Even though your to blame
His heart is, big enough to love you
So run back to Him, today

He bought you back with His own blood
On Calvary
So back in His arms is where
He wants you to be
And what He longs for is to see you
Totally, completely free

His heart is, big enough to love you
Even though you turned Him away
His arms are, long enough to save you
And give you another chance
To make up for your mistakes
His grace is, more than sufficient
Even when your heart aches
Even though your to blame
His heart is, big enough to love you
So run back to Him, today

His heart is, big enough to love you
So run back to Him, today

You say you've been gone, for so long
You're just not sure, which way is home...
 
Love all of the songs and scriptures! Thanks Michelle, cheeringmom, sarah and Jen! Good to see everyone! Hope to see the rest of you soon, too! :wave:

1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

3 Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.
I John 3:1-3
 
Hey Jilly! Those scriptures made me think of this song I used to sing when I was little. :)


Behold what manner of love
The Father has given unto us

Behold what manner of love
The Father has given unto us

That we should be called the sons of God

That we should be called the sons of God


Simple little song but a good one to know! :)
 
That sure is a good one Michelle! ;) ::yes::


I sing this good/simple one with my kids at church and I hope they will remember it when they're older:

Oh Lord, my God, in You I put my trust
Oh Lord, my God, in You I put my hope
Oh Lord, my God, in You I put my trust
Oh Lord, my God, in You I put my hope

In You, In You I find my peace
In You, In You I find my strength
In You, I live and move and breathe
Let everything I say and do
Be founded by my faith in You
I lift up holy hands and sing
Let the praises ring!


Oh Lord, my God, to You I give my hands
Oh Lord, my God, to You I give my feet
Oh Lord, my God, to You I give my everything
Oh Lord, my God, to You I give my life

In You, In You I find my peace
In You, In You I find my strength
In You, I live and move and breathe
Let everything I say and do
Be founded by my faith in You
I lift up holy hands and sing
Let the praises ring!
 

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Hey y'all... good to see you here!
 
Hey Jeanne! :) That is so beautiful and so true!

:hug:
 
It's a Wednesday night and you are at a church prayer meeting when somebody runs in from the parking lot yelling, "Turn on a radio, turn on a radio!"
And while the church listens to a little transistor radio with a microphone stuck up to it, the announcement is made: "Two women are lying in a Long Island hospital dying from a 'mystery' flu." Within hours it seems, this thing just sweeps across the country.
People are working around the clock trying to find an antidote. Nothing is working! California, Oregon, Arizona, Florida, Massachusetts.
It's as though it's just sweeping in from the borders.
And then, all of a sudden, the news comes out. The code has been broken. A cure can be found. A vaccine can be made. It's going to take the blood of somebody who hasn't been infected, and so, sure enough, all through the Midwest, through all those channels of emergency broadcasting,
everyone is asked to do one simple thing: Go to your downtown hospital and have your blood type taken. That's all we ask of you. When you hear the sirens go off in your neighborhood, please make your way quickly, quietly, and safely to the hospitals.
Sure enough, when you and your family get down there late on that Friday night, there is a long line, and they've got nurses and doctors coming out and pricking fingers and taking blood and putting labels on it.
Your wife and your kids are out there, and they take your blood type and they say, "Wait here in the parking lot and if we call your name, you can be dismissed and go home."
You stand around, scared, with your neighbors, wondering what in the world is going on and if this is the end of the world.
Suddenly a young man comes running out of the hospital screaming. He's yelling a name and waving a clipboard. What? He yells it again! And your son tugs on your jacket and says, "Daddy, that's me."
Before you know it, they have grabbed your boy. Wait a minute!
Hold on! And they say, "It's okay, his blood is clean. His blood is pure.
We want to make sure he doesn't have the disease. We think he has got the right type." Five tense minutes later, out come the doctors and nurses, crying and hugging one another ... some are even laughing. It's the first time you have seen anybody laugh in a week, and an old doctor walks up to you and says, "Thank you, sir. Your son's blood type is perfect. It's clean, it is pure, and we can make the vaccine." As the word begins to spread all across that parking lot full of folks, people are screaming and praying and laughing and crying.
Then the gray-haired doctor pulls you and your wife aside and says, "May we see you for moment? We didn't realize that the donor would be a minor and we need . we need you to sign a consent form." You begin to sign and then you see that the number of pints of blood to be taken has been left blank.
"H-how many pints?", you ask.
And that is when the old doctor's smile fades and he says, "We had no idea it would be little child. We weren't prepared. I'm sorry sir, we need it all!"
"But but .. You don't understand."
"We are talking about the world here. Please sign. We need it all!"
"But can't you give him a transfusion?"
"If we had clean blood we would. Can you sign? Would you sign?"
In numb silence, you do.
Then they say, "Would you like to have a moment with him before we begin?" Can you walk back? Can you walk back to that room where he sits on a table saying, "Daddy? Mommy? What's going on?" Can you take his hands and say, "Son, your mommy and I love you, and we would never ever let anything happen to you that didn't just have to be. Do you understand that?"
And when that old doctor comes back in and says, "I'm sorry, we've GOT to get started! People all over the world are dying.
Can you leave?"
Can you walk out while he is saying, "Daddy? Mommy? Daddy?
"Why, why have you forsaken me?"
And then next week, when they have the ceremony to honor your son some folks sleep through it ... some folks don't even come because they go to the lake or the seashore ... some folks come with a pretentious smile and just "pretend" to care. Would you want to jump up and say, "MY SON DIED FOR YOU! DON'T YOU CARE?"
Is that what GOD wants to say? "MY SON DIED FOR YOU. DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I CARE?"

I hope that it was okay to post the above email I received. It made me cry... and think.

I pray right now that our Father would just bestow His love, mercy, grace and peace upon each of you.. and that you would truly know just how much HE sacrificed for each of us, and how very very much He loves you and me.
In HIS name,
Amen.
 
Hi Michelle and Jilly, those are some great songs. Michelle, some how I just knew that you would love my new avatar! And I think my new avatar fit's me to a "T"! LOL

Hi Jeanne, thanks for sharing that email with us. It was very sad, but it really does make you think.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day and weekend!:sunny:
 
Wow Otto's Doll. Powerful. I'm still crying. Thank you for posting!!
 
Morning All! :)

"Rest in the Lord." Psalms 37:7

Better than the very best nap... :o

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I Will Rest In You/Jackie Velasquez

Tell me I'm a fool,
Tell me that You love me for the fool I am,
And comfort me like only You can,
And tell me there's a place
Where I can feel Your breath
Like sweet caresses on my face again.

Take me back to You.
The place that I once knew as a little child;
Constantly the eyes of God watched over me
Oh, I want to be
In the place that I once knew as a little child,
Fall into the bed of faith prepared for me.

I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.

I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.

La la la la You.
La la la la la.
La la la la la-ah.
(You,) You la la la la You.
La la la la la-ah. (You.)

Take me back to You.
The place that I once knew as a little child;
Constantly the eyes of God watched over me
Oh, I want to be
In the place that I once knew as a little child,
Fall into the bed of faith prepared for me.

I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.

I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.
 
This is a song that first aired here sometime last week I think it was and it has quickly become a favorite and is requested often! Hope you like it and have a chance to hear it.

"Who am I" by Casting Crowns

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my eevr wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
 
Good Friday morning to all! :wave:
Posting a song from a CD I got from a sweet friend:

mercy reigns/shane & shane

she hides her face, it seems too good
for Your embrace to find her
and say, "my dove, your voice is sweet
show me your form... your form is lovely"

Your mercy reigns
Your mercy comes
Your mercy falls
and rises with the sun
Your mercy reigns
Your mercy comes
Your mercy falls
and rises with the sun

its new every morning
its new every morning
its good enough for me


no ear has heard a melody
as sweet as yours for her
it seems too good, so undeserved
my heart faints now, for we are her

Your mercy reigns
Your mercy comes
Your mercy falls
and rises with the sun
Your mercy reigns
Your mercy comes
Your mercy falls
and rises with the sun

I will abide in Your love, Your love...


"My dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely." Song of Solomon 2:14..."Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23
 
sung by Selah Words & Music by Dawn Rodgers and Eric Wyse

Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men
Could rescue the souls of men

Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way
Oh, we hopelessly lost the way

You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for

Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh, we're falling before Your throne


To God give the Glory!!
 
Hi Jilly! That song has been playing a lot lately on our radio station....I'm likin' it, but you could probably have guessed that!:D
 
Carry You To Jesus/Steven Curtis Chapman

I will not pretend to feel the pain you're going through
I know I cannot comprehend the hurt you've known
And I used to think it mattered if I understood
But now I just don't know

Well, I'll admit sometimes I still wish I knew what to say
And I keep looking for a way to fix it all
But we know we're at the mercy of God's higher ways
And our ways are so small

But I will carry you to Jesus
He is everything you need
I will carry you to Jesus on my knees


It's such a privilege for me to give this gift to you
All I'd ever hope you'd give me in return
Is to know that you'll be there to do the same for me
When the tables turn

And if you need to cry go on and I, I will cry along with you, yeah
I've given you what I have but still I know the best thing I can do
Is just pray for you

But I will carry you to Jesus
He is everything you need
I will carry you to Jesus on my knees
I'll carry you
I'll take you to Jesus on my knees
 
:D Jill, thanks...:D BTW, I am getting my break....DS is going to my In Laws tomorrow while I go in search of spring!

Psalm 146
1 Praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD , O my soul.
2 I will praise the LORD all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

3 Do not put your trust in princes,
in mortal men, who cannot save.
4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
on that very day their plans come to nothing.

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6 the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them-
the LORD , who remains faithful forever.
7 He upholds the cause of the oppressed
and gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets prisoners free,
8 the LORD gives sight to the blind,
the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down,
the LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD watches over the alien
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

10 The LORD reigns forever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.

Praise the LORD .
 
Jilly, I love the words to Carry You To Jesus. What album is it on? I have to get a hold of that one!


Hope you are all well and enjoying a relaxing weekend. My DH had minor surgery on his foot today, so we are home for the duration. That is okay, we really need some time to veg out.

Desperation: Rescue

You are the source of the life
I can't be left behind
No one else will do
I will lay hold of You
I need You Jesus
To come to my rescue
Where else can I go
There's no other name by
Which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow You
This world has nothing for me
I will follow You
This world has nothing for me
I will follow You
