Tell It to Jesus


Are you weary, are you heavy hearted?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Are you grieving over joys departed?
Tell it to Jesus alone.



Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Have you sins that to men’s eyes are hidden?
Tell it to Jesus alone.


Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Are you anxious what shall be tomorrow?
Tell it to Jesus alone.


Are you troubled at the thought of dying?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
For Christ’s coming kingdom are you sighing?
Tell it to Jesus alone.


Refrain

Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus,
He is a Friend that’s well known.
You’ve no other such a friend or brother,
Tell it to Jesus alone.

May



Our big project (our living room/study addition) is supposed to be completed by May, including carpet and stairs! My mom's sister and her family is coming down from West Virginia for the first time in 12 years so we want everything to look really nice!

Cold Snap

I was getting a little worried about 2010. It started out unseasonably cold. Usually in Texas, it's only cold for a day or two and then it's to the January average in the 50's. But it just stayed cold... so cold that ice was beginning to form on the ponds. (That just doesn't happen in Texas, btw. We ice skate indoors, all the time) But... today it got up to 56°! I was beginning to think I'd had moved up North! Texas, I'm glad you're back to normal! I was even a little glad to see the burnt grass on the way into town today... even though it was cold, it has been pretty dry.

We continued roofing, although it was cold. The roof is now completely shingled on our addition!

"Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow?" Job 38:22


Whoa, for once I think I covered almost all of my siblings in one post! 9 out of 10!
