"Hosanna"

I am posting part of a post I did last year, because I love the Palm Sunday song the Moravians sing. Please be sure to click on the "here" below to listen to this wonderful, joyful song played by the Moravian band.

Christ's Entry into Jerusalem, 1632

This hymn is sung on Palm Sunday. There are parts in the Moravian hymnal, but I will try to post the words correctly.

Hosanna! Blessed is He that comes! Hosanna! Blessed is He that comes!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!
Blessed is He that comes, Blessed is He that comes,
He that comes in the name of the Lord! He that comes in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna! Blessed is He that comes! Hosanna! Blessed is He that comes!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!
Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna in the highest!

Christian Gregor (1765)

Birthday Fun

I went over to my daughter's tonight for some delicious spaghetti. I enjoyed playing with my Grandson.

Here are some pictures from their kitchen window. I took lots of pictures, but they did not turn out too well. It could have been because it was getting dark.

There were so many deer outside eating apples and seeds.





The neighbor's peacocks all came to eat too.





Now this picture of me, let me tell you, I have really let my hair grow too long, desperately need a haircut. And my Grandson said I blinked. They gave me the sweetest little birthday Easter basket. The little blue chicken is so cute and the lamb. There were also two pretty birds, an Easter chocolate cross, a pretty little blue butterfly and a little chocolate candy. And I also had a pretty cake. Oh, and the beautiful card with all the flowers is from my sweet Grandson.


My son-in-law picked this cute, expensive card out for me. It is very large. When I opened it, it played "Who let the dogs out" pretty loud. They have lots of dogs.



This only shows part of the cute card, because of the signatures.


So I had a very Happy Birthday. And thanks for all the wishes from my friends.

Word Filled Wednesday

Php 4:8 -
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

I wanted to use this scripture, because today is my birthday. Yes, on April Fool's Day, and nobody would believe my poor Daddy that I was born. I came early, and finally my mother's mother did believe him.

Quiet Resting Places

Ducks Enjoy a Quiet Resting Place Amongst the Rice Paddies in West Bali, Indonesia


Isaiah 32:18
My people shall dwell in quiet resting places.


Peace and rest belong not to the unregenerate, they are the peculiar possession of the Lord's people, and of them only. The God of Peace gives perfect peace to those whose hearts are stayed upon Him. When man was unfallen, his God gave him the flowery bowers of Eden as his quiet resting places; alas! how soon sin blighted the fair abode of innocence. In the day of universal wrath when the flood swept away a guilty race, the chosen family were quietly secured in the resting-place of the ark, which floated them from the old condemned world into the new earth of the rainbow and the covenant, herein typifying Jesus, the ark of our salvation. Israel rested safely beneath the blood-besprinkled habitations of Egypt when the destroying angel smote the first-born; and in the wilderness the shadow of the pillar of cloud, and the flowing rock, gave the weary pilgrims sweet repose. At this hour we rest in the promises of our faithful God, knowing that His words are full of truth and power; we rest in the doctrines of His word, which are consolation itself; we rest in the covenant of His grace, which is a haven of delight. More highly favoured are we than David in Adullam, or Jonah beneath his gourd, for none can invade or destroy our shelter. The person of Jesus is the quiet resting-place of His people, and when we draw near to Him in the breaking of the bread, in the hearing of the word, the searching of the Scriptures, prayer, or praise, we find any form of approach to Him to be the return of peace to our spirits.
"I hear the words of love, I gaze upon the blood,
I see the mighty sacrifice, and I have peace with God.
'Tis everlasting peace, sure as Jehovah's name,
'Tis stable as His steadfast throne, for evermore the same:
The clouds may go and come, and storms may sweep my sky,
This blood-sealed friendship changes not, the cross is ever nigh."
