Giving Thanks

This picture was taken last Sunday, November 16,2008 after an Emergency Surgery (#9) on Friday for Benji - 9 years old. Two new rods, two bone grafts, four screws and a new implant in his back. The old implant had somehow come loose. He is now in at least two text books - not exactly the kind of fame one desires. Through it all this is the song God gave me in "the night".

O the deep, deep love of Jesus,

Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!

Rolling as a mighty ocean

in it's fullness over me!

Underneath me, all around me,

Is the current of Thy love -

Leading onward, leading homeward,

To Thy glorious rest above!

* * * * * * * *

O the deep, deep love of Jesus -

Spread His praise from shore to shore!

How He loveth, ever loveth,

Changeth never, nevermore!

How He watches o're His loved ones,

Died to call them all His own;

How for them He intercedeth,

Watcheth o're them from the throne!

* * * * * * *

O the deep, deep love of Jesus,

Love of every love the best!

'Tis an ocean full of blessing,

'Tis a haven giving rest!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus-

'Tis a heaven of heavens to me;

And it lifts me up to glory,

For it lifts me up to Thee!

-Samuel Trevor Francis

This Sunday, we are home. As Benji so knowingly put it, "It's Prayer."

Prayer Changes Things!
Thank you for praying!
