As I peered above the clouds, as close to Heaven as I will ever get before death, I marveled in His creation, His power, His majesty.
When my heart was ready, we arrived home, ready to face The Longest Day of the Year, because, we were filled with new mercies.
Great is Thy Faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my father!
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not:
As thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
Chorus
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
(chorus)
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
(chorus)
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth.
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Yet we thank the Lord! So neat to read how the Lord blessed you & showed you his mercies are new every morning before you came home to all that! After living in Minnesota for 4 years with tons of trees I've come to appreciate the gorgeous view of the sky ND offers. Sunsets & sunrises remind me of the beauty of His creation & to think he paints those each day for His creation to enjoy! Great is thy faithfulness is my mom's favorite hymn! Lamentations 3:22-23 is one of my favorite verses -it humbles me & reminds me of what the Lord has done every time I read it! Amen!!
