May the Words of My Mouth...

May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to You, O Lord.
Some of you asked to hear my son Cameron singing at the Eastern Gate House of Prayer at his church in New Jersey.

River

There is a river, and it flows from deep within
There is a fountain, that frees the soul from sin
Come to this water; there is a vast supply
There is a river, that never shall run dry

Lord, Lighten My Load

We had purchased every item on the teacher's list. My 7 year-old son packed his backpack for the first day of school. Poor guy thought he had to carry all of it to school on the first day. He put it on, only to tumble backwards from the weight of it!

I remembered that long ago scene as I read the Bible this morning, realizing that Jesus longs to lighten our loads. He bears our burdens DAILY...if we will let him.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30\

There have been times when God has removed me from a situation because He had something better just ahead. And He assured me: If it is His will for me, it will be a blessing to those I love also.

NINE

Kaedyn doesn't like cake, so we had candles on a watermelon to celebrate her birthday when she visited me today. She will be having a party with her school friends next week.

She will be reading aloud to some preschool children on Mondays. We had fun remembering her favorite books at that age. She always loved books with rhyming verse.

Back to School

Grandkids back in school already. They were excited to go and see their friends. I know they are growing up fast, but I pray they will always come to visit me often. I am very proud of them.
