March 2024
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

6-16-12 Ring the Bells of Heaven!

Ring the bells of heaven! There is joy today,

For a soul returning from the wild;

See! the Father meets him out upon the way,

Welcoming His weary, wandering child.

Glory! Glory! How the angels sing;

Glory! Glory! How the loud harps ring!

‘Tis the ransomed army, like a mighty sea,

Pealing forth the anthem of the free.

Ring the bells of heaven! There is joy today,

For the wand’rer now is reconciled;

Yes, a soul is rescued from his sinful way,

And is born anew a ransomed child.

Glory! Glory! How the angels sing;

Glory! Glory! How the loud harps ring!

‘Tis the ransomed army, like a mighty sea,

Pealing forth the anthem of the free.

Ring the bells of heaven! Spread the feast today,

Angels, swell the glad triumphant strain!

Tell the joyful tidings, bear it far away!

For a precious soul is born again.

Glory! Glory! How the angels sing;

Glory! Glory! How the loud harps ring!

‘Tis the ransomed army, like a mighty sea,

Pealing forth the anthem of the free.

(TH# 202)

 

Yes we are rejoicing with the angels in heaven as last night Jacob answered God’s call to service and turned to Him in humble repentance!

 

 

This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. Psalm 118:23
