Praise God in His wonderful world!
Today is the first day warm enough to say my morning prayers sitting on the front porch. What a glorious morning! I enjoyed listening to the bird choir filling the skies with their hymns of praise. Spring radiates everywhere in full blooming abundance. How can anyone not believe in God? How can anyone think that all of this just came about by chance?
Two deer ran across the back field as I ate breakfast on the back deck. I basked in the warmth of the Spring sunshine on my neck and arms. Later I will walk in Woodstock to admire all the flowering trees and sprinkle my neighborhood with holy water while I pray for our community. Today is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Later I will do my Monday chores, but not right now. I just want to sit quietly and praise our wonderful God who loves us so much He gives us glorious days like today. Reflecting on His love is the best way to start the week. May it be a blessed one for you. And if you're ever in Woodstock, come sit and have a glass of sun tea on our front porch, listen to the birds, and watch the antics of our silly chickens.
Spring is so encouraging...and it comes after Winter...every time. Too bad the young lady in the song is not modestly dressed....who goes first? Young women practicing modesty or young men desiring purity so much so that the young women start to dress modestly.....I hope someone goes first soon, ....saw the interview with Keith Nester interviewing Gabe who said when he started to say "no" to himself that he wasn't going to sleep all day, he wasn't going to see p*...y....then as a father he was able to say to his wife "No, you aren't going to wear that".............
ReplyDeleteI agree on the modesty. I debated whether to choose a different version, but I loved this one. The song has celtic roots.
DeleteAnonymous, very good point.
ReplyDeleteFor it is very true that fashions express the direction the society chooses to take, and who dares to deny such. It’s clear as day today, how the innocence of the young is exposed to great danger from all outlets to follow the morally corrupt culture we’re living in. We see it in our own families, friends, neighbors, and in every public square, sad to say it, but even in the church, Novus Ordo.....what the young girls and their mothers are wearing, while swaying to 'Amazing grace'........Ave Maria!
Any person, place or thing that presents an allurement to sin is a near occasion of sin…. unchaste thoughts and desires, especially for the average male, both young and old.
“Gaze not upon a maiden: lest her beauty be a stumbling-block to thee.” (Ecclus. 9:5)
It's an evening gown...not her everyday dress. In the video she's most properly dressed in clothes up to her teeth.
ReplyDeleteShe's performing on stage, not getting married in that dress. Good grief!
I am sorry , I did not see her clothing up to "her teeth"...all I saw was skin from the bust to her teeth....
