We Give You Everything
This is a song I wrote last week (my second ever), motivated by the widow in Mark 12 and our new praise band at AST… Two Cents (we don’t have much but we give’r all).
We Give You Everything
©Nick Phillips, 2006
Lord we have a meager offering
It is not much but to you it all we bring
As we search our hearts together we will sing
Lord to you we bring you everything
Chorus
All we bring you are just two coin
We have so little but in you we trust
Through your Son it is to you we join
In your grace you show your love to us
As we walk this world evil calls from everywhere
Temptation, sin are all we hear
Through Jesus Christ our experience you share
Lord to you we give you everything
Chorus
We get so lost finding our own places
When we find your word of light it is bliss
Lord to you we give you everything
Chorus
An amazing gift
Brienna has an amazing gift that she shares on YouTube. You REALLY need to check out her songs.
When someone signs her to a record deal (do they call them record deals any more?) I’ll definitely be looking to pick one up!
Remembrance
I feel guilty today for not taking in any services.
But we do remember, and will always.
God bless our troops… past, present and future as we pray for peace in our world.
The day we met Zorro
Zorro H, 1994-2006
Over the last few weeks Zorro’s health has declined dramatically, including the development of a largish lump on his ribcage.
He’s been through a lot, certainly we never expected that he’d recover like he did from his stroke a year and a half ago.
About two hours ago I took him to the vet. We had already decided that surgery would not be an option, he’s been through enough these last few years. The vet expected it to be a tumour, which is probably what we felt as well. He’s lost a lot of weight these past couple of weeks, and his energy is gone. Breathing was a chore for him, requiring the use of his abdomen muscles to move the lungs, and his heart rate was racing (140 at the vet).
We had the option to bring him home, but what good would that have been? To suffer longer? So I called Bev, and we made the very difficult, but correct, decision to let him go.
He went quick, without pain, and peacefully in my arms. We will miss him dearly, but like Ruby who went before him we have many many many good memories of his life with us.
Good bye good and loyal friend. We love you and miss you.
