"Great is Thy Faithfulness"

The inspection went well, all three of them.  We only failed one.  But that's Ok.  We have termites, but who doesn't in Oklahoma.  The rest went pretty well.  We have some little things that need to be fixed and that will be done.  Now to wait for the wedding and then the final move...

In the meantime, the world is in turmoil, but this hymn came to me this morning and I just had to share.

Most people have sung this song at one time or another or like me have been blessed to sing it enough times to almost remember every last word.  And it is true, every last word.


1
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!”
  Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
    “Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!
2
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
3
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

So, why so much about my faith lately?  I needed a tune-up on my relationship with God and I have been ever so grateful for His forgiveness and renewed faith.  It was perfect timing.  But that is just what my God does.
