How Great Thou Art - Acapella Arrangement

My Sweet Cubby

I Love "singing  to the Lord, one of my greater passions", it's a sweet way to express how much I love our Lord Jesus----
I am amazed at how the Lord gave this young man this ability with His voice to put all these harmonies together------------------Beautiful, Beautiful!

Father God is always in control, He is seated on His Holy Throne, always watching over us, Protecting, defending, ever present, Pouring out His Grace and Mercy fresh daily.

EVEN IN SPITE OF Ourselves

Oh Father may we be abounding in thanksgiving, adoration and praise of WHO you are, help us Oh God to remember that is it from your hand that all good things flow, Help us to have a greater dependence on you.
O Lord, keep us in alignment and agreement with your Word. Help us to apply your truths daily and be so deeply rooted in Christ Jesus, our lives with out a doubt reflect WHO you are in us.

Help us to not be so comfortable that our sight is set on the things of this life !
O Help us Father to minimize our thoughts and magnify the truth of WHO you are O God.
May our loyalty to you Father be more important to us than life itself.

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:1-4

And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” Acts 7:56
… as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. Philippians 1:20-23

How Great you are!

 

O Lord Jesus Be with Papa today, O How we need your Hand over His body, for only you know! Father would you take away His headache, and give His body the comfort He needs  .
In your precious Son Jesus Name

 all is well with my soul. Bless you Lord Jesus

My Savior O I need thee every hour

Because He lives I can face tomorrow

Mr C

Just a quick update,
Lately Mr C has been feeling more "rummy"

this is his word" for {"I'm struggling to find my words!, 'cause my thoughts' are not forming to make sense of what I want to say}---------

He's been having headaches more frequent than we like.
He sleeps more these days,we try to get out and walk, but He gets very tired more frequently,
When you see Mr C he looks great,-----------
Hummmmmmmmmmm-----the---- ol----- looks good on the outside-----AWWWWWHA! 
Good thing were "not turned inside out"! Eeeewwwwwwwwh!

Any--who, He's not been feeling all that great, 

He's all cozy in His chair sitting by a warm fire resting, sleeping, resting,sleeping. 

Love to all, 
 For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day, Thank you Jesus
2 Timothy  1;12

You Are My Hiding Place -- Selah

Celebrating 38 years with my sweet precious man

 Thank you Lord Jesus for giving us 38 years together

40 Days Cruising the Great North West waters

 Thank you Lord for allowing us to have this awesome time to enjoy your beautiful displayed Majestic handiwork, these photos can not capture the detailed beauty of how breath taking it is to the eye.

Dad and I thank you and praise you for watching so carefully and intentionally over us.
Each place the Lord allowed  us to visit was unique and so different in their own ways.
Out on an Island in the middle of the North West, most only  by boat or float plane.
This Chart is one of many,But this starts our trip,From Friday Harbor San Juan Islands into BC.
Nothing is in order but I have put each stop. So much to share,this is just a few pic's from our sweet time on the water. 
The Lords Merciful Kind Protective Hands were all over us on this cruise. We met so many wonderful people,and were able to share our Lord Jesus Christ to many. 
Met a Chinese Woman Marie,in Refuge Cove, who was waiting for a shower I offered her to go ahead of me and she declined,so I took my shower and she went in after me, well in the middle of her shower the generators shut down, She peeks her head out the door and says, 'NO--W-A-TA- I said yes the power went off and should come back on---she said 'NO--W-A-TA ---HAYR--AW--WET---NEE--W-A-TA
yes its ok------- lights will come back on and you will have water, it's ok I will stay right here until the lights come on............ back up the generators go and Marie was able to finish her shower--------you see refuge cove is run by generators to generate electricity to run water and everything else. 
When she came out Dad and I were sitting on the bench just enjoying the view, we all laughed about the incident, we talked and shared the goodness of our Lord, come to find out she was a believer,she shared her life, we hugged and Prayed and hugged and said our good- byes----------we were able to have so many wonderful opportunities like this.
Our only incident on the whole trip was when we were coming out of the Jarvis Inlet heading onto the Malispina channel Our steering went out, we were meeting Peter and Fran to head up on our cruise and just like that "NO STEERING THE WHEEL JUST SPUN ENDLESSLY!" YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I SAID DAD I HAVE NO STEERING,----------WHAT DO YOU MEAN?----------------------------- I HAVE NO STEERING! This Man jumped into action, 1st looking to see if any cables had snapped, the rudder,then the wheel, the bolt had backed out------------------well this man, my husband had every tool but the right one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so he "Migivered" the wheel until we got to Powell river 2 hours away.
Peter had the right socket, Dad put a lock washer on it and we got er fixed. Thank you Jesus!
We just Praised and thanked the Lord for being with us before we got out in the channel.
The Lord kept Dad well the whole trip,I Just thank Jesus for giving us this sweet sweet time, so so many memories,
Peter and Fran were another couple that we spent much time with, This man is 85 Years old Fran is 74.
Traveling these waters for over 40 years, offered to share some of their special places, which allowed us to go into waters we would not have gone. 
Learned much from this man about these waters, chart reading, calculating distance, speed, currant,ebb,flow, tides,time to get from one place to the other to hit slack water. We will never forget this adventure with this couple. Amazing----------

Makes Him Rummy, Very Sleepy. But wakes up with a smile on His face.

Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
Deuteronomy 7:9,10
