Sunday Stillness

  

My how    things of this world  do seem to  be  in flux....  one by one, it appears that   all the temporal things  in which we have placed our trust  heretofore,   have been   systematically stripped away.....  until   we it comes   down to In Christ Alone!  And what a  wonderful  song that is..

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless Babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

Til on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sins curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From a lifes first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Could ever pluck me from His hand

Til He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I stand

I will stand, I will stand

All other ground is sinking sand

All other ground, all other ground

Is sinking sand, is sinking sand

So I stand

Oh to  stand on  the promises of God  His love, His mercy,  His  lovingkindness and HIs grace when we see  the world  spiralling out of control,  because we know that  in God   we have our stability!   He is my standard.   our mighty tower,   IN whom we  can place  all of our  trust,,, for He is ever faithful and just....

Our eventful August

Swiss Woods Bed and Breakfast ~I thought you might find this interesting, too. 

Well,   it has been awhile....  The past few weeks have been  rather   eventful..

 First of all,  we  had our summer vacation to   Boston  to see family  who live nearby...

So we  got to stop over going and coming   here at Swiss Woods B&B.  THis place suits us to a tee!

It is almost exactly halfway between our house and their's...  and the  charm of the place is   so   welcoming

 even when you arrive in  the rain....  which just makes us happy to know  how lush the gardens will be  next week  when we pass through yet again!

HAHAHA   does anyone's   selfies   ever look good???   But   we  were  so happy to be   enjoying the   wonderful aromas  wafting from the kitchen..

Need I say more?!?!

The  accommodations are so comfy....  but   we were   soon on the road...  for the next 7 hour leg of the trip...  which turned into about  9 hours due to the heavy traffic and rain.

Our first photo of Birdie.. who was  standing alone and    just beginning to venture out into her first steps!  we were  so  delighted to   see  4    beautiful teeth!Of course we were   happy to  see the proud  mommy and daddy,  too,  which makes three!!!

                                     

The the highlight of our  trip was to   experience  Birdie's   baptism.....   there is no  more  exquisite joy than knowing that   your children  are  grafted into the family of God... their  eternal security  secured  and   their lives   actively  building  the kingdom of God

  

I love our   family so much.....  what a blessing   they are to us....
