Little Flock #216
Lord, we rejoice that Thou art gone
To sit upon Thy Father's throne:
Thy path of shame and suffering o'er,
Thy heart shall grieve and mourn no more.
With joy our wondering hearts retrace
Thy ways on earth, of power and grace;
We sit as learners at Thy feet,
Thy words than honey far more sweet.
O cross of Christ! O glorious tree!
What place can be compared with thee,
Where God's own Son was crucified,
And for our sins a ransom died?
We love to look within the tomb,
Thy death has robbed of all its gloom;
The stone for ever rolled away;
Thy death the power of death did slay.
We joy to see Thee, Lord, arise
Triumphant through the opening skies;
And hear all heaven united own
Thee worthy to ascend the throne.
Lord, now we wait for Thee to come,
And take us to Thy Father's home;
Oh what ecstatic joy 'twill be
To spend eternity with Thee!
Echoes of Grace #275
We are by Christ redeemed,
The cost - His precious blood;
Be nothing by our souls esteemed
Like this great good.
Were the vast world our own
With all its varied store,
And Thou, Lord Jesus, wert unknown,
We still were poor.
Our earthen vessels break;
The world itself grows old;
But Christ our precious dust will take
And freshly mould.
He'll give these bodies vile
A fashion like His own,
He'll bid the whole creation smile,
And hush its groan.
Thus far by grace preserved,
Each moment speeds us on;
The crown and kingdom are reserved
Where Christ is gone.
When cloudless morning shines,
We shall His glory share;
In pleasant places are the lines;
The home how fair!
To Him our weakness clings
Through tribulation sore,
And seeks the covert of His wings
Till all be o'er.
And when we've run the race,
And fought the faithful fight,
We then shall see Him face to face,
With saints in light.

25 Things
Here goes:
1. I really don't mind doing laundry, but hate dusting.
2. I don't like fruity candy - chocolate or caramel, please!
3. Volleyball is my favorite sport.
4. I love milk (goes well with the chocolate, you know).
5. I seriously considered joining the military in high school.
6. I was a cheerleader for 4 years in high school (yes, I know - :oP ) - boys basketball and football. I've always regretted not staying in sports instead.
7. I love historical Christian fiction. I hate reading mysteries, or anything with crime or intrigue.
8. I hate hot weather, unless I'm at the lake. Sweatshirt weather is perfect!
9. My (earthly) dream home is a lakeside log home with my own dock and beach. (I'm not asking for much.) 2nd choice is a big old farmhouse. But I'm very thankful for and comfortable in my present home. And really looking forward to my heavenly one!
10. I have large hands.
11. I used to work at Dairy Queen and could make a pretty decent Dairy Queen Swirl (you know - the little curlie-Q on top of the cones and sundaes?). Sometimes they let us take home the mistakes (frozen solid).
12. Some day I'd like to go to the symphony.
13. My favorite kind of pizza is ham and pineapple. Favorite pop: A&W Rootbeer.
14. My favorite fruits, in order: peaches, blueberries, and strawberries.
15. I'd love to travel more. And see the ocean.
16. The loudest noise I've ever heard is the squeak that happened when the dentist pulled one of my wisdom teeth. It was awful.
17. I wish I could see the places my ancestors lived in the old country - Norway, England, and Germany.
18. My parents were both teachers and sometimes let me correct papers.
19. I've never been able to float on my back - I sink.
20. When I was 3 or 4 someone asked me what I was going to be when I grew up and I said I was going to go to robber school to learn to be a robber.
21. I'm afraid of heights.
22. I sleep with a noisemaker set on "waterfall".
23. I have TMJD - a jaw joint problem - and wear a mouthguard every night.
24. I rarely played with dolls when I was little - I thought they were for sissies. My favorite toys were my gun and holster set, semi truck, and Rubik's cube - but I mostly played outside having imaginative adventures with my best friend Ginny.
25. My feet are not the least bit ticklish.
