Greetings to you all in the Name of Him who loved us.

Gen 32:1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Gen 32:2 And when Jacob saw them he said, "This is God's camp!" So he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
..........
Psa 34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. ...........

LORD,
I know that you are always caring for us.
There are many Blessings for us, seen and unseen.
May we always thank you before hand for all the marvelous things you have prepared for us.
Let your Name be Glorified in all our ways.
Please provide us with daily bread and opportunities to praise you.
In Jesus's Name we hope.

Joy and peace in believing.

Sometimes a light surprises
The christian while he sings;
It is the LORD who rises
With healing in his wings:

When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining
To cheer it after rain.

In holy contemplation,
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God’s salvation,
And find it ever new:

Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
E’en let th’ unknown tomorrow,
Mt 6:34
Bring with it what it may.

It can bring with it nothing
But he will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe his people too:

Beneath the spreading heavens,
No creature but is fed;
And he who feeds the ravens,
Will give his children bread.

The vine, nor fig–tree neither,
Hab 3:17,18
Their wonted fruit should hear,
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks, nor herds, be there:

Yet God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For while in him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.
--William Cowper

How Beautiful! Our Dear Lord's Sweetness Flows from that Hymn by our Brother William Cowper!

I have a Book Printed in 1911 of our Brother's Letters, and this Portion from a Letter he Wrote to his Cousin is Appropriate Here:

"I Pray to God to Comfort you, and to Enable you to Sustain this Heavy Stroke with that Resignation to His Will which None but Himself can Give, and which He Gives to None but His Own Children. How Blessed and Happy is your Lot, my Dear Friend, Beyond the Common Lot of the Greater Part of Mankind, that you Know what it is to Draw Near to God in Prayer, and are Acquainted with a Throne of Grace! You have Resources in the Infinite Love of a Dear Redeemer, which are Witheld from Millions; and the Promises of God, which are Yea and Amen in Jesus, are Sufficient to Answer All your Necessities, and to Sweeten the Bitterest Cup which your Heavenly Father will Ever Put into your Hand. May He Now Give you Liberty to Drink at these Wells of Salvation, till you are Filled with Consolation and Peace in the Midst of Trouble! He has Said, "When thou Passest through the Fire I will be with thee, and when through the Floods, they Shall not Overflow thee." You have Need of Such a Word as this, and He Knows your Need of it, and the Time of Necessity is the Time when He will be Sure to Appear in Behalf of those who Trust in Him."

You are Precious to us, Dearest Lord Jesus Christ. You are our Help in Times of Trouble and Trial. How Kind You are, and Your Compassionate Grace is our Stay. We Worship You for Your Mercies, and Praise You for Your Love. O Father our King, be Exalted Forever, as we Pray in Your Son's Name, amen.
