Wednesday Wisdom

God has four gifts for you . . .

A KEY for every problem, A LIGHT for every shadow, a PLAN for every tomorrow and a JOY for every sorrow.

"God’s gifts are gentle whispers to the soul—

A key to unlock what burdens your heart,

 James 1:5- If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

A light to guide through shadows that fall,

Psalm 119:105- Your word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path.

 A plan that unfolds with grace each new start,

Jeremiah 29:11- For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

And joy that sings even when sorrows call.

John 16:22-Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. 

I'm sure enjoying the pretty flowers from Mr D.

He sure is a thoughtful hubby♥

On a sadder note, little Adalyn fell out of her chair at pre-K and broke her arm.  It's a serious break and she has to see a specialist to be sure setting it will not take surgery. 

WooHoo, no surgery required and she has a pretty purple cast.

I just hate this sweet little girl had to take this journey, yet I'm praising God she is going to be okay.

Mr D's brother, Marvin and our grandson Matt came for a visit Monday night.  We such a good fellowship together, family visits are a true blessing.

Something I enjoy is good ol' gospel music and/or church hymns.  Nothing takes me to the foot of the cross any faster.  Here is one of my favorite gospel hymns from Alison Kraus.

“Down to the River to Pray” is a /or American Christian folk hymn. It dates to the mid-19th century as a Negro Spiritual, “The Good Old Way”.

There are many versions of the song, and this one became popular when it appeared in the sound-track of the movie, O Brother, Where Art Thou?

(another movie I haven't seen)

In the film of O Brother, Where Art Thou the hymn is sung as people wade into a river to be baptised (dunked in the water) by a preacher.

Alison Krauss, Down To The River To Pray

[Chorus]
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord, show me the way

[Verse 5]
O, sinners, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O, sinners, let's go down

Down in the river to pray

Until Next Time

Meet me at the river!
