Lord's Day...

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

~Thomas O. Chisholm

"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 will 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!

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."

Wishing all of you a Blessed,
Pleasant
and Beautiful Sunday!

"Through
the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are
new every morning;
Great
is your faithfulness."
~Lamentations 3:22-23

I love this song! And what a beautiful girl in the painting. Embracing God's faithfulness in all circumstances makes us beautiful like that, does it not?

Delightfully fall fabrics you have chosen for these items. Your workmanship is wonderful. And I would love to putter around the kitchen in that apron. I will also show a picture of it on my sidebar.
Congrats and Tuesday Blessings ;-)
