“Hear, O Heavens and Give Ear, O Earth”

 

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth;
    for the Lord has spoken:
“Children have I reared and brought up,
    but they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knows its owner,
    and the donkey its master's crib,
but Israel does not know,
    my people do not understand.”

Isaiah 1:2-3 

Vaill Point Park, Florida - Songs from the Heart

 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Colossians 3:15 NIV

Thought for the Day:  I will sign boldly with a faithful heart as an offering to God.

“It is He Who Made Us, and We are His”

Know that the Lord is God.
    It is he who made us, and we are his;
    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Psalm 100:3

Vaill Point Park - “Power Perfected in Weakness”

 And He said to me, “My Grace is Sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”  Most gladly therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

2 Corinthians 12:9 NASB

Let's Go Down to the River

 

Let's Go Down to the River

As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good ol' way

And who shall wear the starry crown

Good Lord, show me the way

O sisters, let's go down

Let's go down, come on down

O sisters, let's go down

Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good ol' way

And who shall wear the robe and crown

Good Lord, show me the way

O brothers, let's go down

Let's go down, come on down

Come on,  brothers, let's go down

Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good ol' way

And who shall wear the starry crown

Good Lord, show me the way

O father's, let's go down

Let's go down,  come on down

O father's, let's go down

Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good ol' way

And who shall wear the starry crown

Good Lord, show me the way

O mothers, let's go down

Come down, don't you wanna go down?

Come on mothers, let's go down

Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good ol' way

And who shall wear the starry crown

Good Lord, show me the way

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

As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good ol' way

And who shall wear the starry crown

Good Lord, show me the way

No One Will Take Your Joy

 

So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

John 16:22

Morning Light at Vaill Point

 

Took a morning walk an hour after the sun had rise at Vaill Point Park.  The morning sun was shining through the trees casting a glow on the palm plants and river.  The water was still and shimmer with reflections of the clouds above. 

Morning Walk - Hanging moss, Spiders, Wild Flowers and things

We have a lot of tourist which we are grateful for our local economy but we are also grateful that they stay on St. Augustine Beach and don't venture out to our local parks in town.  Vaill Point Park is historical Florida with the hanging moss, wild flowers & birds; a very beautiful park all year round that we locals love.

itsy bitsy spider at Vaill Point Park

The itsy bitsy spider went up the big oak tree today
Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
and the itsy bitsy spider went up the oak tree again.
