All this pet posting is Kim’s fault.  Got a dog? Then why not join in the fun?

Sunday Afternoon Nap

I know you are beginning to wonder if this has turned into a cat blog. The answer is no, and I’ll do something to prove that soon, I promise.

Sunday's Hymn: Reader's Choice

Today’s hymn, Great is Thy Faithfulness, is a favorite of Mummymac from Northern Ireland. She likes it

…just because He is really! And also because “All I have needed His hand has provided” etc etc.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Refrain

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
