My Hope For America

https://wouldyoudoitforone.wordpress.com/2022/06/11/my-hope-for-america/

As we met this Friday at Life Care Center the news continues to be filled with mass shootings, the January 6th fiasco and the war in Ukraine. There aren’t a lot of happy stories out there, and yet as we sang you can hear both the unfaltering faith and hope for our nation. I pray you would be blessed as you listen, not to the professional quality of the recording but the sound of voices who still ask God to bless America with His grace from sea to shining sea!

This post originated on my other blog, Walking With Lambs. That site is created as a forum and a place of refreshing for those of the long term care community. I will continue reposting from there for a while longer, but if you would like to join us and comment respond or contribute please subscribe there. Have a blessed weekend all!

Standing Up For Jesus on Father’s day

Though this video was made specifically with Fathers in mind the story behind the hymn Stand Up for Jesus is amazing. The author’s friend had just that week been forced from his pastorate because of his sermon against slavery. While being out at a farm the following week he died as the result of a freak accident, but his final words encouraging his friend to take a stand for Jesus resulted in the hymn we sing today; Stand up stand up For Jesus. It reminds us that standing for God does not always lead to popularity or success nevertheless it is what Jesus asks. God bless you this week. May God grant each of us the courage and willingness to stand for the truth!
