As High as the Heaven is Above the Earth,
So Great is His Mercy Toward them that Fear Him.
As Far as the East is from the West:
So Far hath He Removed our Sins from us.
As a Father hath Compassion on His Children,
So hath the Lord Compassion on them that Fear Him.

(Ps.103:11-13)

A Blessed Lord's Day to Amy's Place

Thank you so much dear friend.
It’s hard to talk about right now and I’m just mindlessly posting political graphics to keep occupied.

Amazing Grace
(Click)
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.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

DEAR LORD, who suffered torment, agony, and death upon the Cross to free our souls from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan from the chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all to a greater share in Your Mercy.

Amen.

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.

. ~Good Sunday Afternoon~

Thank you. Luv, for the lovely lighthouse graphic and music.
I wish you a blessed Lord's Day

[TheConservativeParty]

Beautiful little hummingbird Meg! Hard to find one sitting long enough to even snap such a picture.

Heard this on Christian radio last night. Wanted to share it at Amy’s Place.

When life is serving up trouble, we should remember that “Nothing is bigger than God.” In other words, no matter what vexes you, look to God and there He is and nothing is more important than our faith in God.

The radio host then added “The joy of The Lord is my strength.” scripture we all know.

“Nothing is bigger than God.”
“The joy of The Lord is my strength.”

Blessing to all at Amy’s Place

Good Sunday Afternoon

Thank you, Kitty for the lovely waxwing and scripture.
I have loved the pretty birds you have posted this week!
Thank you for your sweet comments on my posts.

Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Trisham! Commander O'Connor was Chief Chaplain of the 1st Marine Division when I was attached to them in Vietnam. He went on to become Chief of the Chaplains' Corps before retiring from the Navy as a Rear Admiral. Later, he went on to serve as Bishop of Scranton, PA and eventually as Archbishop of New York, being named a Cardinal in 1985.

A very, very brave man.

And I love Adrea Bocelli.

[ConorMacNessa]

A brave man, indeed! With decades of service to his fellow man (and woman) both in the military and thereafter!

Andrea Bocelli is a treasure! One of the great talents of our time!

Good Sunday Evening

It's hummingbird migration time..They are tiny wonders!
Thank you, CP for sharing this scripture and wonderful words of comfort.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[TheConservativeParty]

Yep, I think they are migrating. The last 2 weeks I saw way more of them. It’s a thrill every time one stops for some nectar.

Cheers
