To: bperiwinkle7; Knitting A Conundrum; All
Thank you So Much for these Beautiful and Spirit-Uplifting Melodies, and Ralph Vaughn Williams is a Blessing, and a Refreshment to my Heart. I'm Reading these Hymns as I Listen to the Music, and how Manifold are the Works of our King, Who has Given these Gifts to Mankind! Praises, and Glory, and Thanksgiving, and Honor be to our Wonderful God of Grace!

"Blessed are you, God of Israel,
Our Father from of old and forever.
To you, O God, belong the greatness and the might,
The glory, the victory, the majesty, the splendor;
Yes! Everything in heaven, everything on earth;
The kingdom all yours! You've raised yourself high over all.
Riches and glory come from you,
You're ruler over all;
You hold strength and power in the palm of your hand
To build up and strengthen all.
And here we are, O God, our God, giving thanks to you,
Praising your splendid Name." (1Chron.29:10-13)

We Worship You, O Lord our God, and Love the Greatness of Thy Name. Thank You for this Gathering of Thy Children, for Thy Tender Mercies, through Thy Grace. Your Compassions and Lovingkindness are Wonderous, our Lord, our Savior in Whom is our Hope. Fill Thy Servants with Thy Goodness, O God, and Use us to Draw Sinners to Your Son. Be Magnified Forever for Your Awesome Works, and Loved for Your Eternal, Great Grace. In Thy Name, for the Glory of the King, amen.

To: Kitty Mittens

Greatly appreciated, Kit.
I pray that KAC isn't overwhelmed with moving, and that the Lord gives her rest and strength and every good thing.

Pe 4:7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.

1Jo 2:17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.


Oh Lord, things change so rapidly. I see that what we know is passing away. Your plan continues to unfold. I don't know what to expect. I know that you want to hold us close in these times and that we ought to seek you continually which will give us Grace and comfort and wisdom. As the world darkens, your light becomes greater.
I thank you for improved health from your loving hand. I ask for rest for us all, and a sweet preoccupation with you. Please pour out your Spirit and fill us again tonight. Strengthen our Faith and Hope in You. Give us that Hidden Manna. Make us like a gem in your signet ring. You are our Shield and Exceeding Great Reward. Let your Grace flow to all the intercessors.

Jud 1:24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy,
Jud 1:25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

The clouds of judgment gather,
The time is growing late;
Be sober and be watchful;
Our Judge is at the gate:
The Judge Who comes in mercy,
The Judge Who comes in might
To put an end to evil
And diadem the right.

Arise, O true disciples,
Let wrong give way to right,
And penitential shadow
To Jesus’ blessèd light:
The light that has no evening,
That knows no moon or sun,
The light so new and golden,
The light that is but one.

The home of fadeless splendor,
Of blooms that bear no thorn,
Where they shall dwell as children
Who here as exiles mourn;
The peace of all the faithful,
The calm of all the blest,
Inviolate, unfading,
Divinest, sweetest, best.

Oh, happy, holy portion,
Relief for all distressed,
True vision of true beauty,
Refreshment for the blest!
Strive now to win that glory;
Toil now to gain that light;
Send hope ahead to grasp it,
Till hope be lost in sight.
