Be Thou My Vision ~ Slane

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art-

Thou my best thought by day or by night,

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thy my true Word, I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord; Thou my great Father and I Thy true son, Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one.

High King of Heaven, my victory won, May I reach Heaven's joys, O bright Heaven's Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my vision O Ruler of all.

Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

"Therefore we have as our ambition , whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him."

II Corinthians 5:9 * Old Irish melody. There are many more verses, some worded differently, but I love them all .

Immanuel~

"I could not decide between these two versions of 'Oh Come, Oh Come Immanuel' so decided to post both. I hope this blesses you today as we look forward to Christmas, a time many all over the world celebrate the birth of Christ who was and is the promised Messiah, "Wonderful Counselor,Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace" Is. 9 :6 ,Savior, the Son of God, Immanuel!

"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign ; Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel." Isaiah 7:14 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call Him Immanuel, which translated means, "God with us." Matthew 1:23

Just As I Am....

It is hot here in the Pacific Northwest, but our Joey Cat cannot pass up a chance to nap in freshly dyed and dried wool. He glared at me for disturbing his nap, but quickly fell asleep. All the animals here are taking it easy because of the high temperatures , and the ducks have parked themselves at pond's edge, dipping into the pond more frequently in the afternoon. May your Sunday be a day of rest , relaxation, and reflection.....enjoy the Celtic twist on an old song " JUST AS I AM" by Eden's Bridge.
