Our week here at Elim Lodge is coming to a close. Last night we were treated to a dramatic thunder storm. The thunder rattled the windows in our cottage and gave the ground a mighty shake. In the midst of the storm I lay awake with my arm around Nathan (10), comforting him and enjoying the sights and sounds. The Lord game me a poem as I lay there and I got up and write down the words.Here they are! I trust you will be challenged:
A VOICE IN THE NIGHT
The voice of God thundered in the night sky,Bringing with it a much-needed rain;
Lightning flashed across the heav’nly highways,
Declaring God’s great glory once again.
Listening as the torrents bathed the parched soil,
A season of refreshing finally here;
O may my hardened heart welcome Thy touch, Lord,
Imparting hope where once reigned doubt and fear.
Renew Your church, O God, send a revival,
A sovereign visitation from on high;
Baptize with fire, give us a holy passion,
Restore our vision, else we’ll surely die.
- David W. Fisher, Elim Lodge, August 24/07
Welcome back David --- welcome back
ReplyDeletegood words and an amazing gift to write like that --
Revive us again, Oh Lord! Do send a revival, how we need it!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Pilgrim, Amen, those words are challenging. We got that storm this morning...it delayed my dog-walking by a few hours, but that was okay.
By the way, we went to Future Shop and looked at cameras this evening--just my dad and I. I am really convinced to go with the Sony H7, and so is my dad! I found a good deal on a used one, but it sold this evening, and I am glad--it made my choise easier. Future Shop offers a 4 yr. service plan...and my salesman was a friend of one of my neighbors (my 16 y.o. neighbor!), but I didn't bother to mention to him that we'd met before! He was so kind and courteous all the same, I think I will be back there soon enough.
God bless you and keep you,
Lil Pilgrim Pal
Oh Hebrews...I am so glad that you are getting a new one.
ReplyDeleteI was going to tell you about that good deal on the Sony that David mentioned ..the 8.1 with the 15X zoom. It is 50 dollars cheaper than the one that I got last year and is a lot better.
It is only on sale until Thursday so I hope that you get it.
I have found in my day that used electronics or demonstated shelf electronics usually don't go too good!
Let me know if you get it. That camera also has a stabilizer bar which is good because with it you rarely get a blurry picture and your videos always turn out crisp and clear...Love Mrs. Shirkie
