Songs in My Heart

I've had a lot of health challenges this past week,

but my heart is full of songs for the Lord!

I guess it's because I know He is faithful,

and I can depend on Him.

I seek shelter under His wings until

harm shall pass,

until "calamities be overpast",

until the tumult is over 

(different translations of Psalm 57:1).

Yesterday, I read an interesting verse from Psalm 56:

"Are my tears not stored in your vial?"

Apparently it was a custom in Jesus' day

to store tears in a jar or vial called a "tear jar"! 

If even the hair on our head 

is counted (Matthew 10:30),

then I can believe God also knows 

how many tears we've shed!

No progress on this painting yet!

I've been trying to draw a bird

to place on the top left.

So far my birds have come out looking

like a dolphin, a dinosaur, and a fish!!!

Not to worry, it took me

two years to get my drawings of hands 

to look like hands!!!
