How Great Thou Art!

All pictures but the one immediately below were taken on a recent jaunt to the Continent.

 "When through the woods

And forest glades I wander,

And hear the birds

Sing sweetly in the trees;

"When I look down

From lofty mountain grandeur

And hear the brook

And feel the gentle breeze,

"Then sings my soul,

My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!

How great Thou art!

Then sings my soul,

My Savior God to Thee,

How great Thou art!

How great Thou art!"

"Enter into His gates with Thanksgiving, 

     And into His courts with praise.

     Be thankful to Him and bless His name.

For the LORD is good;

     His mercy is everlasting,

     And His truth endures to all generations."

Psalm 100:4-5

Abiding...

"As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full."

John 15:9-11

Glorious Occupation

“Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her.”
