A Lullaby


Come and rest your head and nestle gently,
And do not fear the dark of night;
Almighty God keeps watch intently
And guards your life with all his might.
Doubt not his love nor power to keep;
He never fails nor does he sleep.

"Doubt not his love nor power to keep; He never fails nor does he sleep."

such a good reminder...thankyou for encouraging me this morning, jen.

and what a great, sweet bedtime song for baby Charis.

It's funny how much I look forward to coming to your blog each day and reading into your life and seeing another sweet picture of Charis.

This picture and post did not disappoint!
I could read it over and over and I would still love it just as much.

Good Morning!
I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing pictures of baby Charis and reading your lovely words, Jen.
Love You,
Judy

Beth,
He puts it so well.

You sure snatched her up fast. I don't even think your family saw her come in.

Janelle,
Glad you like it. I look forward to having all the memories for myself. It surprises me that you're not bored by what I say!

Judy,
It's encouraging to know you like reading what's going on in our lives...as dull as they are:)
