News Flash: THE TULIPS [planted in November] HAVE BLOOMED!

~

Sorry for this seeming abandonment of my blog except for photos here and there. I know a few of you still come back to check on me according to my counter. Thank you! :) April was a different kind of month and I've had not much time to be updating. As in all of life we should be in constant communication with the Lord about our hopes, struggles, desires and most importantly HIS will when the clouds come rolling in. I heard this song on my laptop this morning and thought I'd share it.

When you left your room this morning,
Did you think to pray?
In the name of Christ our Savior,
Did you ask for loving favor,
As a shield today?

Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day;
So in sorrow and in gladness,
Don’t forget to pray.

When you met with great temptation,
Did you think to pray?
By His dying love and merit,
Did you claim the Holy Spirit
As your guide and stay?

When your heart was filled with anger,
Did you think to pray?
Did you plead for grace, my brother,
That you might forgive another
Who had crossed your way?

When sore trials came upon you,
Did you think to pray?
When your soul was bowed in sorrow,
Balm of Gilead did you borrow
At the gates of day?

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.”
