Thankfulness - day 17

I’m so thankful for online shopping and UPS delivery. Being very rural, there have been innumerable times we’ve been able to purchase items online that we couldn’t get locally and there have also been times when we couldn’t get the store, but UPS was able to deliver what we needed to us.

Thankfulness - day 16

Today I’m thankful for my fireplace. It’s now working so much more efficiently and is keeping the living room very pleasant. I’m also very thankful for the neighbors/friends who told us about the fix to make it more efficient.

Thankfulness - Day 15

Today I’m so very thankful that
“ . . . we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.”

So, “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Lord of Glory, Come Among Us! - Sunday Hymn

Lord of glory, come among us;
hear us as we sing your praise!
For your mercy is enduring,
God of kindness, King of grace!

Let the world embrace this wonder:
in Christ Jesus love abounds!
Alleluia, sweet Hosannas,
let the joyful news resound!

To the sinner Christ grants mercy,
to the lost He shows the Way.
Lift your hearts and sing His praises
for He comes again today.

Praise and glory to the Father,
laud and honor to the Son,
power and blessings to the Spirit:
ever three and ever One.

Draw us close, Lord, by your Spirit;
make us faithful, strong and pure.
Come and work your re-formation,
in our sinful hearts, your cure.

Send us out renewed, awakened,
grant that faithful we may be,
doing justice, loving kindness,
walking in humility.

Today I’m thankful for the many and varied forms of communication - words, art, music, touch, a look, a sigh, a smile, a frown, expressive eyes, a hug, a sniffle, silence.
