And In That Day . . .

I will say . . .

O LORD, I will praise Thee:

though Thou wast angry with me,

Thine anger is turned away . . .

. . . and Thou comfortedst me.

Behold, God is my salvation;


I will trust, and not be afraid:

for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song;


He also is become my salvation.


Therefore with joy I shall draw water out of the wells of salvation.
And in that day I shall say,

Praise the LORD, call upon His name,

declare His doings among the people,

make mention that His name is exalted.


Sing unto the LORD;

for He hath done excellent things:

this is known in all the earth.


Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion:

for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

~Isaiah 12~

Cacey's Birthday, July 21st


Cacey:
Watchful, Brave, Vigilant


Blessed are those servants,
whom the Lord when He cometh shall find watching:
verily I say unto you, that He shall gird Himself,
and make them to sit down to meat,
and will come forth and serve them
~Luke 12-37~

Have not I commanded thee?
Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:
for the Lord thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.
~Joshua 1:9~

Cast all your care upon him; for He careth for you.
Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:

Whom resist steadfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are
accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

But the God of all grace,
who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus,
after that ye have suffered a while,
make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
To Him be glory and dominion forever and ever.
Amen.
1Peter 5:7-11
Happy Birthday Cacey!
We love you!
Jenny, Christy, Joy, Clark and Jill.

Beauty

What more could we need?
Hair. . .
Makeup. . .
Jewerly. . .
Nails. . .
Is this all we need to be beautiful?


Hair, makeup, nails, and jewerly are uneffective in making a woman beautiful if they are not virtuous (sincerely gracious) from within.


Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies . . .
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
~Provervbs 31~

Most of our pictures are of girls anyway so this is nothing new. . .
just the consequence of having five girls in one family.

Liberty

“For the LORD is our Judge,
the LORD is our Lawgiver,
the LORD is our King;
He will save us.”
~Isaiah 33:22~

One only is the Lawgiver and Judge,

even He who is able to save and to destroy:

but who art thou that judgest thy neighbor?
James 4:12

. . . where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty.
~II Corinthians 3:17b~
“In circumstances as dark as these, it becomes us, as Men and Christians, to reflect that whilst every prudent measure should be taken to ward off the impending judgments, . . . at the same time all confidence must be withheld from the means we use; and reposed only on that God rules in the armies of Heaven, and without His whole blessing, the best human counsels are but foolishness.
~John Hancock, signer of the Declaration of Independence~

Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.
~Marcus Tullius Cicero~

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.

The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.
~Patrick Henry~

Let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God (Exodus 18:21) . . . If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted . . . If our government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.

~Noah Webster, The History of the United States (New Haven: Durrie and Peck, 1832), pp. 336-337, 49~
