Beautiful photo! Is that a Cedar Waxwing?

Finally we’re having a beautiful Sunday. It’s 60 under a hazy sun and I’m heading outdoors as soon as I finish up here in 15 min or so.

UNFOLDING THE ROSE

It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God’s design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so sweetly,
When in my hands they fade and die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God’s design,
Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

So I’ll trust in Him for His leading
Each moment of every day.
I will look to him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.

The pathway that lies before me,
Only my Heavenly Father knows.
I’ll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.

How utterly gorgeous, Meg. I would faint away if I saw one of those in my yard. What are they called, if you know? I am getting ready to fix lunch. Don’t mind fixing lunch, just cleaning up after myself...LOL!

They are Indigo Buntings...I am so envious of their sightings..They summer in your part of the country, too I think but I have never seen one here in Central Texas where they summer..
Thank you for the darling birds..I think they are European robins.. and for the Pears Helene.

I had just cleaned up breakfast! Now I must clean up from lunch. We need staff.

...and I just might get a nap!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!




Amazing Grace

by John Newton


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.



Lamh Foistenach Abu!
