I knew something was wrong tonight when I got in the shower and I was too tired to sing. We have been involved the past three or more months with a dear family member that took a fall and things have progressed with many changes in their life and in all of ours.
Painting has not come to a full stop, just slowed down, and I promise to share this next week what I have been working on.
Why Roses in a photo? These are roses from. my youngest son two years ago for Mother's Day. Deep red roses filled our home with a sweet fragrance. What does this have to do with singing in the shower? I love to sing... when I am happy, when I am sad, when I am scared...but not so much when I am tired! First choice are all the old hymns I grew up with, they charge me in His love and are the same ones I play with emotional enthusiasm on my baby grand. "And the melody He gave to me within my heart is ringing" Tonight this charges at my heart strings:
IN THE GARDEN by Charles A Miles
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses...
Refrain:
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.
I’d stay in the garden with Him,
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.
Even as tired as we both are, we do hear him calling us. We rejoice in all we have done this day, just weary from packing and sorting and driving through Dallas traffic at 5 in the afternoon. Two wrecks and we saw the second one and prayed the rest of the way home. Flipped car over a barrier, we believe hit by someone changing lanes without looking and launching this car and family in the air landing upside down in a median area. The paramedics and police were just arriving prying open the doors as we passed the opposite direction.
He called on us to pray for this family.
We never know when and how He calls to us. This song was originally written from Mary's point of view as she expresses her tremendous joy suddenly hearing and seeing her beloved Jesus and Savior just after watching his crucifixion and burial. (Mark 15:40, 47)
I feel Him around me. He knows my thoughts and actions before I do. The older I have grown, I truly realize he knows it all. Even when I start a pity party, or my thoughts go crazy with imagination the wrong direction, He calls to me. Listen for Him this weekend. He is calling you.
“But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine." Isaiah 43:1
