Just A Closer Walk With Thee
Words & music by Stuart Hine

I am weak, but Thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all Wrong
I'll be satisfied As long,
As I walk, let me walk Close to Thee.

Just a closer Walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, Hear my Plea,
Daily walking Close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, Let it be.

Through this world Of Toil and Sweat,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me My Burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, None but Thee.

Just a closer Walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, Hear my Plea,
Daily walking Close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, Let it be.

Now when my feeble Life is o'er,
Hard times for me Will be no more;
Just guide me gently, Safely o'er
To Thy Kingdom Shore, To Thy Shore.

Ah just a closer Walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, Hear my Plea,
Daily walking Close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, Let it be.

Chums
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you. —Colossians 1:3

In 19th-century England, debtors’ prison housed those unfortunate souls who couldn’t pay their bills. New prisoners were escorted to the “chummage,” a prison dormitory. Since the people were not there for violent crimes, a spirit of trust and camaraderie soon developed. They played games together and had plenty to eat. Some were even allowed private rooms.

In time, the prisoners began to refer to each other as “chums.” Later, the word caught on outside the prison walls and took on the meaning of “a cordial friend.”

Deep bonds of friendship also take place in Christian ministry. Those who worked alongside Paul were not strangers to persecution and imprisonment. But a common mission created a deep sense of connectedness. In his letter to the believers in Colosse, Paul called Epaphras a “fellow servant” (1:7). The term can be paraphrased as “together slave” or “one who serves the same master with another.”

When believers live under the lordship of Christ, they can see their lives intertwined in service. By serving as slaves to Christ, a spiritual camaraderie results that transcends being “chums.” And that special relationship will continue on into eternity!

Working together with others,
Serving the Lord day or night,
Telling the story of Jesus
Promises endless delight. —Hess

Christians stand strong when they stand together.


Bible in One Year: Psalms 63–65

Play Day




Mother has been keeping busy with the Horses throughout the Day
Leaving lots of time for me to roam around, explore and play
Across the smooth dirt floor then slowly along the angled ladder to The Loft
All by myself without Mother's omniscient supervision!

I set off on my very first quest of personally fulfilling expedition
Up where there's huge mounds of dry grass that is incredibly soft
Heaped and piled high to feed the Horses and Cows down below
Mother says that it is also a great protector from Winter's cold and snow
Due to its ability to be mesh and lattice and become more dense

Which seems to make perfectly logical Feline sense
Since this dried out sometimes brittle stuff called 'Hay'
Seems to part so easily as I decide to dive right in without delay
Making warm and cozy tunnels as my paws plunge and curl and sweep
To take me well inside, though not too dangerously deep

I taste the scents of mold, dusty sweet corn and lingering loam
While my ears detect the sound of a slithering snake who shares this home
I also hear the sound of Mother's paws upon my newest lair
So, I think I will surprise her when I suddenly come up for air!

Good morning, Amy.

How on earth can it be JUNE already?? The next thing we know, you'll be trying to tell us it is October. I'm not buying it. I must be in some kind of time warp. LOL.
