This poem comes from the book From The Best Loved Poems of the American People, which was part of my Mom’s book collection. I remember reading this book as a kid. No Funeral Gloom NO FUNERAL GLOOM, my dear, when I am gone, corpse gazings, tears, black raiment, graveyard grimness, Think of me as withdrawn… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
While I found movie quotes that can be used as encouragement for helping widows move forward with life, they were not appropriate for this weekend. This quote by Charles Spurgeon felt right since it feels as though we’ve been thrown around this week. 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,let me hide myself in thee;let… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
I had another post scheduled for today. But with Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the post did not seem appropriate at this time. The assassination is a stark reminder of how WE THE PEOPLE are NOT united. Only God can unite us. I believe He will, for He is filled with love, grace, mercy, and healing. if… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
HAPPY NATIONAL AMPERSAND DAY Did anyone know that September 8th is always National Ampersand Day or did you, like me, learn something new? The & sign originates from a combination of the Latin letters “e” and “t,” which together mean “and.” And we know from School House Rock (Conjunction Junction) that “and” is a conjunction;…... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Today’s movie quote is another reason why widows should not focus on the past. It is from the movie Ratatouille. Whoever thought you could learn a life lesson from a rat who is trying to become a chef? “If you focus on what you left behind, you will never be able to see what lies… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Today’s wisdom comes from movie quotes. You might find uplifting movie quotes all month. However, I did not find enough uplifting ones – yet. Today’s quote describes widows who move forward with life while grieving. “The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.” by Mulan the original per a…... mehr auf joyreturns.com
I forgot about this wonderful hymn we sung back in the church of my youth. Hopefully, you also have wonderful memories of singing this hymn. 1 Crown him with many crowns,the Lamb upon his throne.Hark! how the heavenly anthem drownsall music but its own.Awake, my soul, and singof him who died for thee,and hail him… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Perhaps if We The People made God the Lord of our hearts, there just might be more kindness in this country and less chaos. 1. Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;Naught be all else to me save that thou art.Thou my best thought by day and by night;Waking or sleeping, thy presence… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Good Sunday Morning! Here is today’s hymn. When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll;Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say, “It is well, it is well with my soul!” It is well with my soul!It is well, it is well with my soul! 2 Though Satan should buffet,… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Today’s hymn praises and recognizes God’s great faithfulness. Can the same be said of us? Is our faithfulness to Him just as great? 1. 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 wilt be. Refrain:Great is… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Last week we looked at the hymn God Of Our Father’s, this week it is Faith Of Our Father’s. The particular father is President William McKinley. He truly lived out the words of this hymn.

This is one of the hymns Elvis Presley recorded. Since today is the 48th anniversary of his passing, I felt it was only appropriate to use this hymn today.

I was going to post something else today, something inspired by my cousin (technically a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th cousin). However, thanks to The Daily Grace Co’s Bible Study on James, I was led to post this instead. Upon hearing bad news, you’ve often said “I will pray.” But you’ve felt as though prayer was… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Today’s hymn is another favorite of mine – Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You. 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore You,God of glory, Lord of love;Hearts unfold like flow’rs before You,Op’ning to the sun above.Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;Drive the dark of doubt away;Giver of immortal gladness,Fill us with the light of day! 2 All̷... mehr auf joyreturns.com
Weekend posts this month will feature lyrics to hymns – you know, those good old fashioned song we do not sing in church anymore. Unless of course they are jacked up in the form of some new Christian-pop arrangement. Starting off this series is my favorite hymn Holy, Holy, Holy! The phrase Holy, Holy, Holy,… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
I snapped several photos of this dude while sitting on my deck yesterday. These photos do not capture the glitter of his wings in the noonday sun.

Halloween …. Eine Ausrede, sich als halbstarker Erwachsener oder Möchte-gern-Junggebliebener mal wieder gänzlich daneben benehmen zu dürfen. Reine Geldmache.

“Experience and success don’t give you easy passage through the middle space of struggle. They only grant you a little grace, a grace that whispers, ‘This is part of the process.

from within Learning to Trust Will Make Us Happy “…We find ourselves torn by confusion, by conflict, by affirmation and denial, by emotion congested by fear, congealed by pride.
