God at Work

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] Changes in our lives he’ll make: … Love and joy and peace all grow …Patience, kindness, faithfulness, self-control and gentleness – these, with goodness, all must be part of joy and peace in me.

“… our help in ages past …"

Posted on Fri, 27 Nov 2015

Men searching, seeking to understand … get a glimpse, but can't see the whole of the answer … only supernatural revelation can do that, fill in the gaps, even help us understand the words we are told, or as much as we need to know. Rhiannon

Interestingly put, Tina. So easy to get distraught over loose ends, and to miss 'jobs' more important or just noticing some beauty, which you so well describe.

(on rainbows, we were thrilled a couple of days ago in seeing a bright wide '...

Brings the era to life, or its trappings to memory. The longing for hugs is always there, whether the home be relatively poor, or rich, and whether we have them or don't, the value of them remains clearly felt. Rhiannon
