A Lullaby Praise

/ pastorpete51 / 2 Comments

Back when our boys were small they loved hearing a small poem titled Singing Time by Rose Fyleman and so one day I was inspired to turn the words into a lullaby for them adding two additional verses and a chorus. My featured image today is the boys about when I wrote the song for them. Today one of our grandsons loves it but they have forgotten! A few years ago I was able to copyright the song and produced a video which has been viewed around the world but today having slightly better equipment I recorded it again. I hope you like our lullaby and that morning, noon and night you will join in “Singing your song to the Lord of Life!”

God’s Benefits

/ pastorpete51 / 7 Comments

I confess I do not always wake up with a shout of joy as I stumble towards the coffee maker. Today with just a few hours of sleep before we get on the plane is no exception. But as we come to the end of our two week stay with family I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I see how God has been faithful to us and as I give our grandchildren parting hugs and kisses I see in their faces the reflection of heaven.

Despite their difficulties, disabilities and circumstances beyond ther control Jesus has kept us together in the bonds of His love. And in face of uncertainty He has promised benefits in today’s verse. God reminds us that He is not simply the God of the stars and eternity, He also offers to be called the God of our salvation. Imagine now what He holds in store for the future if His benefits begin with salvation! That ought to be enough to get us out of bed with a shout of joy and faith. He is going with us through whatever lies ahead and will be with us till the end!
