A Rose

Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming from tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse’s lineage coming, as men of old have sung.
It came, a floweret bright, amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.

Isaiah ’twas foretold it, the Rose I have in mind;
With Mary we behold it, the virgin mother kind.
To show God’s love aright, she bore to men a Savior,
When half spent was the night.

The shepherds heard the story proclaimed by angels bright,
How Christ, the Lord of glory was born on earth this night.
To Bethlehem they sped and in the manger found Him,
As angel heralds said.

This Flower, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere;
True Man, yet very God, from sin and death He saves us,
And lightens every load.

O Savior, Child of Mary, who felt our human woe,
O Savior, King of glory, who dost our weakness know;
Bring us at length we pray, to the bright courts of Heaven,
And to the endless day!

Tis the Season

In this season, the season in which we celebrate the birth of our Saviour, I wanted to start off by sharing my favorite verse of my favorite Christmast song. There will be more {trust me, I love Christmas music}, and this is a great one to start off with! This is the last verse from O Holy Night.

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

"Acquainted with all my ways"

I have found great comfort in these words from Psalm 139, that the Lord has searched out my path and my lying down and is "acquainted with all my ways."  It is incredibly comforting to know that the God of the Universe is well acquainted with ME!  Little ole me.  My problems, issues, etc, He cares deeply about them and He is well aware of them!  Not only that, He is in control of them too. Such a peaceful thought at this time in my life.  I tend to get wrapped up in the daily flow of life's problems, issues, etc. I think I can handle the stress, the worry, the fill in the blank, on my own.  But we are called to "not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." (Phil 4.6)  I pray that God will give me the grace I need to make it through one day at time.

One Year Later

Our one year anniversary is coming up this weekend but unfortunately Tim and I will not be in the same city.  Therefore, we celebrated out anniversary a week early.  We had a wonderful weekend and the weather was beautiful!!
Reflecting on the last year has brought back a lot of good memories and makes me look forward to the many years ahead.  Here are some pictures from the last year of our marriage, starting with the happiest day of my life.  I LOVE YOU, HONEY!











Saturday in the Park

A few weekends ago my oldest brother, Brent, and his family were in town for a wedding.  We all got to hang out durning the day Saturday while he had a break from his wedding duties.  We all went to Shelby Farms to let the kiddos play at the new Woodlands Discovery Playground.  Needless to say the weather was beautiful and the kids had a great time playing, as did the adults.  I LOVE getting to hang out with both of my brothers at the same time.  Nothing like it.  Below are a few pictures from the day.
