Mother's Day!

Julie took this picture of me on Mother's Day!Flowers from Linda and Naomi. Picture of me at around age 2 years looking at my Gram's big pink roses and colored by Brian was a card Brian gave me and on the inside of it was singing "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" from Oklahoma which I used to sing to the kids while they ate breakfast around the big oak table that my Dad made back in high school; and I was standing at the kitchen sink singing that song to them. What memories these brought back to me. Brian gave me a lovely windchime to hang out on the front porch. Kevin and Rachel gave methe little handprints of Isaac on a lovely canvas tied with a bow. Karen and Steve sent me a lovely bouquet of roses and carnations.

The Power of Your Name - by Unknown

Verse 1
Surely children weren't made for the streets
And Fathers were not made to leave
Surely this isn't how it should be
Let Your kingdom come

Verse 2
Surely nations were not made for war
Or the broken and due to be ignored
Surely this couldn't be what You saw
Let Your kingdom come
Here in my heart

Chorus
And I will live to carry your compassion
To love a world that's broken
To be your hands and feet
And I will give with the life that I've been given
And go beyond religion to see the world be changed
By the power of Your Name
The power of Your Name

Verse 3
Surely life wasn't made to regret
And the lost were not made to forget
Surely faith without action is dead
Let Your Kingdom come
Lord break this heart

Bridge
Jesus Your Name
Is a shelter for the hurting
Your Name
Is a refuge the weak
Only Your Name
Can take the undeserving
Jesus Your Name
Holds everything I need
