Sunday Hymn: Jesus Draw Me Ever Nearer

Jesus draw me ever nearer
As I labour through the storm.
You have called me to this passage,
and I’ll follow, though I’m worn.

Refrain

May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;
And at the end of my heart’s testing,
With Your likeness let me wake.

Jesus guide me through the tempest;
Keep my spirit staid and sure.
When the midnight meets the morning,
Let me love You even more.

Let the treasures of the trial                                  
Form within me as I go - 
And at the end of this long passage,
Let me leave them at Your throne.

—Margaret Becker

Thankful Thursday

It’s been another busy week, with many visits from children, grandchildren and granddogs. I am thankful for everyone of them, even the noisy breathing bull dog. They help make my life full and happy. I’m thankful for play and laughter and conversations.

I’m thankful for an enthusiastic new helper in the library at church. This is a direct answer to prayer, not mine so much as  that of a faithful friend, who often reminded me that she was praying for someone to volunteer to help catalog the books, a job that often overwhelms me. 

I’m thankful for my family’s help, too. God has blessed me with talented children and children-in-law who are willing to take on some of the jobs I need done. 

I’m thankful that God can be trusted and he is in control, and that a couple of worrisome situations are in his hands.

I am thankful for my health. Every healthy day of my life is a good gift from God. 

I’m thankful that God spoke so we can know him.

What are you thankful for?
