Pass the Promise

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment 
For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” Acts 2:39 NKJV

With all the catastrophic sad events happening around the world, it is too easy to forget that all the promises of God are true and that in Christ we have a wonderful hope to pass on to our children. The mockingbird still sings in our tree in our backyard no matter the weather. I have never gone out into the sunroom with my coffee to find him biting his fingernails or weeping. I have found in my own times of deepest grief and difficulties that when there are no more words to say, He still helps me to sing. I pray that God will help you find His song in your hearts this week, no matter what you are facing.

I love the lyrics from the hymn “Redeemed” that say, “I sing for I cannot be silent. His love is the theme of my song!” When the love of Jesus is moving in our hearts, a song can never be far away. I came across this video from my internet friends The Mullett Family. The sweet simple voices of their youngest daughters, stir a joy in my heart each time I listen as they remind us that we should be passing on the promise of Jesus Christ to our family, our neighbors and friends. God bless you all and may you have a time to rest in the presence of the Lord and be refreshed in your spirits this weekend.

Joy in Memory Care

Every Thursday morning, I get together with a group of my friends who live in the memory care wing at Sunshine Home. We have such an awesome time of worship as we share the hymns. They not only remember the words, but sometimes they ask for their favorite songs! I hope you will be blessed and encouraged as you listen in. To hear us singing and see the full post go to Walking With Lambs.

A Little Joy in Memory Care

There Rings a Melody

First sung by a children’s choir, this hymn brings the lilt of that youthful joy together with the ageless truth of the love of Jesus. 

I have a song that Jesus gave me
It was sent from Heaven above
There never was a sweeter melody
It's that melody of love!

I hope you enjoy the voices from this past Saturday’s meeting at the Sunshine Christian Village. Our seasoned citizens certainly haven’t forgotten how to make a joyful noise! To hear Saturday’s message you might want to slide over to the other blog- Walking With Lambs. Have a blessed day all!
