Sundays

You are washed clean...FORGIVEN by your Saviour...rest in the Peace of Christ!
Sundays are for worship, fellowship and rest....       
Today I worshipped...one of our college students wrote a 
new tune to this old hymn
        Leaning On His Everlasting Arms 
  1. What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms;

    What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms.

    Refrain:

    Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;

    Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

    Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms;

    Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms.

    What have I to dread, what have I to fear,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms?

    I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,

    Leaning on the everlasting arms.

     

    What a great reminder for this week that we have His everlasting arms to lean on.

     

    I swayed with Asher on my hip while singing this song and thought...Asher is a great example of this...he is forced to rely on others to help him along in life, and instead of resisting the help and trying to go it on his own...Asher submits and relies on others to help him.  I wish it was so easy for me to rely on God for my every need, but all too often I try to do it all on my own even though he is right there to help me. As Asher rested on my hip with my arms wrapped around him...I realized once again...I have a lot to learn from Asher!

    ....Oh the fellowship and rest...we had lunch at Baja Fresh with some of our college students and I took a nap today!

     Happy Sabbath!
