Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Lyrics by John Newton

I would like you to meet Gracie. She’s almost six months old. When she plays, she jumps around like a gazelle, though she has still to be totally graceful on those long legs. She has a goofy, quite intelligent smile at times. Her '”daybed” is on the dash of the Raven, where she has a 360 view of her world. At night, she sleeps across the foot of our bed, keeping my feet nice and toasty. She is a delight, and she refreshes my soul when I am struggling with getting this mission off the ground. An hour at the dog park, playing fetch, and I am like a whole new me, able to take on whatever God hands me next. She is definitely a gift from God.

Blessings to you all,

Jennifer Joy
