IF WE COULD SEE BEYOND TODAY

If we could see beyond today
As God can see,
If all the clouds should roll away,
The shadows flee;
O'er present griefs we would not fret,
Each sorrow we would soon forget,
For many joys are waiting yet
For you and me.
If we could know beyond today
As God doth know
Why dearest treasures pass away,
And tears must flow,
And why the darkness leads to light,
Why dreary days will soon grow bright,
Some day life's wrongs will be make right;
Faith tells us so.
If we could see, if we could know,
We often say,
But God in love veil doth throw
across our way;
We can not see what lies before,
And so we cling to Him the more,
He leads us till this life is o'er,
Trust and Obey!

Hi everyone. Today, we went out shopping and got some stuff for our Church's Christmas dinner which is on this coming Tuesday. Pastor Mark Bradfield will be preaching. We are really looking forward to it.

Tonight, we went over to the Laverty's for supper. (It was really delicious.) Grace and Hannah are spending the night with them.

At our Midweek service, we had some visitors. Brian, his wife, and baby girl.

Praise the Lord! They are supposed to be coming on Sunday as well.

Here is a little poem

~

When storms of life beat hard
and Satan's darts are hurled,
Scriptures hidden in the heart
Arise, like flags unfurled.

Christmas Collage

Hi, today was the Sunday School party. We had it at our house. We had a lot of fun. We decorated Christmas ornaments, Christmas cards, Christmas cookies, and made Christmas crackers. Here is some of the pictures. Joel and his ornament.

Christmas cookies.

Christmas Cards

Today was our last calligraphy lesson. We finished making the Chrismas cards we have been working on. Here's the photos of the ones I did. Mom will post her's tomorrow.

On Saturday, we went to the Ulster Folk Park. That had an exhibit of handmade things.

This shawl was crocheted.

This is a quilter's scrap bag.

Tannin's School Day

"Why should I fear the darkest hour,
Or tremble at the tempest's power?
Jesus promises to be my tower.

Though hot the fight, why quit the field?
Why should I either flee or yield,
Since Jesus is my mighty shield?

Against me earth and hell combine,
But on my side is power divine:
Jesus is all, and He is mine."

-John Newton

Silent Night in "Formal Italic"
