Blessings!
I just had to share this picture. Love it. I'm not sure whose picture it is as I can't see the complete name on the photo. It's just so comforting to look at because it reminds us that no matter how many times we veer off the path, guess who knows we are lost and will come find us. And......just look at that sweet little one :)

Today's Sermon: "Noah...Christ"
Today's Hymns:
What A Friend We Have in Jesus
Responsive Reading Gen. 8:15 to 9:17
Special Music: "Nobody" by Casting Crowns
"Nobody"
by Casting Crowns lyrics
Why You ever chose me has always been a mystery
All my life I've been told I belong at the end of the line
With all the other not-quites, with all the never-get-it-rights
But it turns out they're the ones,
You were looking for all this time
Chorus:
’Cause I'm just a nobody, trying to tell everybody
All about Somebody who saved my soul
Ever since You rescued me
You gave my heart a song to sing
Interlude: I’m living for the world to see nobody but Jesus(2x)
Moses had stage fright
When David brought a rock to a sword fight
You picked twelve outsiders nobody would have chosen
And You changed the world
Well the moral of the story is everybody's got a purpose
So when I hear that devil start talking to me saying
"Who do you think you are?”, I say
Chorus Interlude (2x)
So let me go down, down, down in history
As another blood-bought faithful member of a family
And if they all forget my name, well that's fine with me
I'm living for the world to see nobody but Jesus (2x)
Chorus Interlude (3x
Benediction: Lamentations 3:21-25

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown

Percy's Tidbit
"Life is full of surprises. When your day is wonderful, cherish it. When it becomes difficult, stay strong. There are no guarantees on how many days you have left so be grateful for each and every one of them.
~ Roger Lee

I love pictures! Pictures have a way of placing you back in "remembered moments." Sights, smells, sounds, nature, animals, all the feels. Pictures allow us to recall life and all that it entails.
Thought it would be fun to close each week with little "snippets" of life that will perhaps spark a memory or at the very least bring a smile.
*I do not own the pictures.
Have a great week!
