Times Are Hard

Father although I cannot see

1
Father, although I cannot see
the future You have planned,
and though the path is sometimes dark
and hard to understand:
yet give me faith, through joy and pain,
to trace Your loving hand.


2
When I recall that in the past
Your promises have stood
through each perplexing circumstance
and every changing mood,
I rest content that all things work
together for my good.


3
Whatever, then, the future brings
of good or seeming ill,
I ask for strength to follow You
and grace to trust You still;
and I would look for no reward,
except to do Your will.

John Eddison


This last year and a half has just gone from exciting to difficult to more difficult to painful, to almost impossible! My faith has never been tried so far coming so close to becoming non-existant! The Promises of the Bible have seemed to be fallacy! I do not understand and although I know we aren't called to understand but to trust but I have been trusting for so so long, much longer than just the last 1 1/2 years and I am getting so weary in body and in spirit. But today I was wandering through a hymn book to help out with choosing songs for tomorrows service this hymn stood out to me! I will try to carry on trusting in Faith that God will come through for me and my family!

Friendship Vignettes - Jubilee

Jubilee

Well with the Queens Diamond Jubilee weekend I have had the opportunity to enjoy a street party for the very first time! Somehow I have not been in the right place at the right time for any other occasion. I had a lot of fun at our street party on Monday afternoon managing to catch the best weather of the weekend! How about you? Did you have fun at the weekends celebrations or were your spirits dampened by the weather? I hope you managed to exhibit the British ability to rise above the circumstances (which is nearly always the weather) and have fun despite it all! 

And so I had to as well as I had rise above the camera I broke the day before our street party! So this weeks FV photo's were taken on my little Android phone and there are fewer than I would like but I do hope you like them.

This was my choice for this week ...


and these are a handful of others

Don't forget to pop by our FV Blog and see what our other FV photographers have taken this week. 

I hope you will pop back next week to see our *Music* photo's or maybe you would like to join us and take your own photo. You can either blog it yourself and link up underneath the FV post or you can send your photo to Maria. Details available on the blog. Also please follow the blog and then you will know about our special plans for our 100 week Anniversary :-)

Thanks for reading

Friendship Vignettes ~ Twisted


Twisted

I haven't been posting my FV pics for a couple of months as I have been between Homes and then once I moved to my own place I have found mobile broadband to be sadly lacking :-( However I am home for Christmas so expect lots of catch up posts on my various blogs. 

I am going to do the catchup very differently from usual, hoping to get back to the old format in the new year. This will be just the photo's I've taken for each theme. For the ones I and my FV friends chose check out our FV Blog



















I hope you like my Twisted pics as much as I do :-)
