Grateful Moments . . .

God sometimes brings trials into one's life to teach them to be thankful for even the smallest blessings . . . to teach them that these blessings are not to be taken for granted.  The Lord has guided our family along such a journey, and we have learned so much!  Many songs come to mind while contemplating the road we have traveled as well as peering into the future.  Songs such as "'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus", "All the Way My Savior Leads Me", "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow", "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" . . . just to name a few.  And then there's the one that could perhaps be the theme song for this blog . . .

Dying with Jesus, by death reckoned mine;
Living with Jesus a new life divine;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine,
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.

Never a trial that He is not there,
Never a burden that He doth not bear,
Never a sorrow that He doth not share,
Moment by moment, I'm under His care.

Never a weakness that He doth not feel,
Never a sickness that He cannot heal;
Moment by moment, in woe or in weal,
Jesus my Savior abides with me still.

Moment by moment I'm kept in His love;
Moment by moment I've life from above;
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine;
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am thine.

~ Daniel W. Whittle

"I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.  He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed."
Psalm 37:25-26
