Legacy


Yesterday morning, as I took the photo of this amazing moon at sunrise,
my neighbour was getting into his car, to go to work. 
After marvelling at the moon,
he said to me `wow, you must have a really good lens on that camera?'
and I said `Nope, but how can I not take a photo? - we are so blessed!'

.. as unequipped as I might be, I can not help, but speak of His goodness..

Be blessed!!

`For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.(v.13)
But how are they to call on one whom they have not believed? 
And how are they to believe in one, whom they have never heard?
and how are they to hear without someone to proclaim Him?(v.14)
And how are they to proclaim Him unless they are sent?
As it is written:
"How beautiful are the feet that bring good news!"(v.15)
..So faith comes from what is heard, 
and what is heard comes from the word of Christ.(v.17)
Romans 10:13

Legacy
Nicole Nordeman

..I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love?
Did I point to You enough to make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering -
A child of mercy and grace
who blessed Your name - unapologetically
& Leave that kind of legacy

Not "well travelled or well read"
not  "well-to-do or well bred"
I just want to hear, instead,
"Well done! 
Good and Faithful one"

Invitation


You Invite Me In
Meredith Andrews

..How can this be
a love so unfailing
reached down and lifted me
from ashes, to beauty
 You invite me in
doesn't matter who I've been
Your arms are opened wide
pulling me to Your side

Now I am walking away from the life I once knew
and running into Your grace
that covers my shame
again and again
I find my life in You 

 You invite us in
doesn't matter who we've been
Your arms are open wide 
There's nothing left to hide..
Your arms are open wide
pulling us to Your side
