His Life For Mine…
His heart was broken mine was mended,
He became sin now I am clean,
The Cross He carried bore my burden
The nails that held Him set me free
His Life for Mine,
His Life for Mine,
How could it ever be?
That He would die,
God’s Son would die,
To save a wretch like me,
What love divine,
He gave His life for Mine
His scars of suffering brought me healing,
He spilled His blood to fill my soul,
His crown of thorns made me royalty,
His sorrow gave me joy untold.
His Life for Mine,
His Life for Mine,
How could it ever be?
That He would die,
God’s Son would die,
To save a wretch like me,
What love divine,
He gave His life for Mine
He was despised and rejected
Stripped of His garment and oppressed
I am loved and excepted
And I wear a robe of righteousness
His Life for Mine,
His Life for Mine,
How could it ever be?
That He would die,
God’s Son would die,
To save a wretch like me, – Like me
What love divine,
He gave His life for Mine – For Mine
Hallelujah! What a Savior!!
I Would Gather Children…
Some would gather money Along the path of life; Some would gather roses, And rest from worldly strife. But I would gather children From among the thorns of sin; I would seek a golden curl, And a freckled, toothless grin. For money cannot enter In that land of endless day; And roses that are gathered Soon will wilt along the way. But, oh, the laughing children, As I cross the sunset sea, And the gates swing wide to heaven – I can take them in with me. -Author Unknown
Baby Wade Campbell
We are anxiously awaiting the birth of our new Grandson “Wade Campbell”. Of course, my grandson knew all along he’d have a new brother, even though we tried to tell him that he might get a sister, the Lord answered his prayers and gave us Wade!
As the Bible says, “children are a heritage of the Lord”, blessed is the man who quiver is full of them”. Don’t know how full my son and daughter-in-law’s quiver will be, but we daily thank the Lord for all our blessings and heritages!!
Precious one,
So small,
So sweet
Dancing in
on angel feet
Straight from Heaven’s
brightest star
What a miracle
you are!
Happy January!!
With January 2009 comes the promise of another new grandbaby! Thank you Jesus for this precious life!
Merry Christmas…
The Reason for the Season is JESUS!!
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for,
behold , I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior,
which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
From Luke 2:8-14 KJV
He Didn’t Throw The Clay Away……..

“Grandma, I like your old house”
My grandson says he likes my old house. It is old (like me) and has character, and it seems like home to us. There is something about old houses that draw me and I seem to like them better than the new ones sometimes! The Bible says “unless the Lord builds the house…” it will not stand. May we always have the Lord be the builder and sustainer of our homes and may our children and grandchildren love our old houses that the Lord has built for us, a legacy that we can leave to all who follow.
“Grandma, we love each other all the time, don’t we?”
Last weekend as I was babysitting my grandson, we were all snuggled down on the couch watching a movie, Toy Story, eating popcorn and trying to settle in for bedtime. My grandson says to me, “you know, Grandma Stout, I love you”. I replied, “you know David, I love you too! You are my favorite grandson!” David says to me “You know, Grandma, we love each other all the time, don’t we grandma?” Yes David, we do, we surely do!!
