Music Notes

Tonight I witnessed the beautiful fiery orange and red glow of the setting sun in the west on sharp, frigid snow, and the pale pink reflections in the east... It reminded me of Christ and the beautiful, awsome glow of His love as it burns on our otherwise cold hearts, and the often too pale reflections of that amazing love we give to those around us. It also reminded me of the full glory of the Home that awaits us, and of the faded shadows in which we now live.

We are a reflection, a mere flicker of the perfection of the Perfect One.

This world is a shadow, a soft echo of the world beyond.

"We are a moment, You are forever

Lord of the ages, God before time

We are a vapour, You are eternal

Love everlasting reigning on high. 

Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty

Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain

Highest praises honour and glory

Be unto Your name

Be unto Your name

We are the Broken, You are the healer

Jesus Redeemer mighty to save

You are the love song we'll sing forever

Bowing before You blessing Your name."

  Here's to the great white... er, wet, winter......... Personally, even with the inconvieniences it sometimes causes, snow - not RAIN -  in the winter is preferrable. However, more water means thicker ice for a better skating rink, so my siblings' desire for snow is somewhat abated.... for now.... Peter affectionately calls it the "wading pool" because we're "wading" for it to freeze :D . Ah, I love Pete's upbeat sense of humor! :)

  Anyways, on to more important news. Yesterday I attended a very exciting birthday party for two special boys! Keith and his twin brother Gus threw a "Penguin Party" and everyone received their own S.A.P. (Secret Agent Penguin) photo identity card complete with Alias! I give my heart-felt regrets to those of you who do not have eight-year-old friends - they're so much fun!  Here's an old(er) picture of Keith, taken shortly after he lost his two bottom teeth!
