His ways.......

I read this today. It's taken form Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon. It is truths such as this that I lay myself prostrate upon. This is "how" I walk through this valley of death."

Man's ways are variable, but God's ways are everlasting. There are many reasons for this most comforting truth: among them are the following- the Lord's ways are the result of wise deliberation; He ordereth all things according to the counsel of His own will. Human action is frequently the hasty result of passion, or fear, and is followed by regret and alteration; but nothing can take the Almighty by surprise, or happen otherwise than He has foreseen. His ways are the outgrowth of an immutable character, and in them the fixed and settled attributes of God are clearly seen. Unless the Eternal One Himself can undergo change, His ways, which are Himself in action, must remain for ever the same. Is He eternally just, gracious, faithful, wise and tender?- then His ways must ever be distinguished for the same excellences.

When I meditate upon His character and His Person, then comes a trust in His ways and plans.

Today, is the Dec. 12th, in 2006, its the day we brought Joel home........he was sooooo happy to be back here, a little timid at first but he was soon enjoying chili and Bethany carried him all around the farm to see the animals. What a great day it was to have him home..........



I am trying to see if we can get the CD sample songs up so you can get a "taste." Check back.....
