Why is it that the urge to diet always comes to me in the holiday season?
At any rate, life is a bit up in the air, potentially moving to what may be the perfect house for us. 1959 ranch house in the West Hills, dead-end street, circular drive, great price, three fireplaces, wall to wall windows. SAY A PRAYER! I feel incredibly uncomfortable in the current digs and that is saying a lot having lived in some pretty uncomfortable places... It would be nice to live in a homey place.
Work is very busy, fulfilling in so many ways. I feel like I am doing good work, just wish that I had more time to do it.
Children and wife are the lights of my life. Daily reminders of redemption.
Thought that the following hyn text was appropriate:
Jesus Christ the Apple Tree
From Divine Hymns or Spiritual Songs,
compiled by Joshua Smith, New Hampshire, 1784
Tune by Elizabeth Poston, 1905-1987
1
- The tree of life my soul hath seen,
- Laden with fruit and always green:
- The tree of life my soul hath seen,
- Laden with fruit and always green:
- The trees of nature fruitless be
- Compared with Christ the apple tree.
2
- His beauty doth all things excel:
- By faith I know, but ne’er can tell,
- His beauty doth all things excel:
- By faith I know, but ne'er can tell
- The glory which I now can see
- In Jesus Christ the apple tree.
3
- For happiness I long have sought,
- And pleasure dearly I have bought:
- For happiness I long have sought,
- And pleasure dearly I have bought:
- I missed of all; but now I see
- 'Tis found in Christ the apple tree.
4
- I'm weary with my former toil,
- Here I will sit and rest a while:
- I'm weary with my former toil,
- Here I will sit and rest a while:
- Under the shadow I will be,
- Of Jesus Christ the apple tree.
5
- This fruit doth make my soul to thrive,
- It keeps my dying faith alive:
- This fruit doth make my soul to thrive,
- It keeps my dying faith alive:
- Which makes my soul in haste to be
- With Jesus Christ the apple tree.
