'Tis so Sweet...

There have been moments in my day where I sit and ponder what God is doing in our adoption process. Hands down. He is Faithful. As I prayed to Him this morning looking for direction about where we are in the waiting piece of our process...a song came to mind...just like scripture memory. 'Tis so Sweet to trust in Jesus.

Words are below from this beloved hymn:

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
and to take him at his word;
just to rest upon his promise,
and to know, "Thus saith the Lord."

Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!
How I've proved him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust him more!

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
just to trust his cleansing blood;
and in simple faith to plunge me
neath the healing, cleansing flood!
(Refrain)

Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
just from sin and self to cease;
just from Jesus simply taking
life and rest, and joy and peace.
(Refrain)

I'm so glad I learned to trust thee,
precious Jesus, Savior, friend;
and I know that thou art with me,
wilt be with me to the end.
(Refrain)

I don't think it is by coincidence that we recall scripture or songs based off of scripture. The Lord helps us recall these times of memory so that when we or someone else needs them....it just comes right out of "storage." I am blessed and grateful for those mentors thru the years that have driven home one point of MEMORIZING these important truths.

We continue to wait for news on Eli. As soon as there is an update we will let everyone know! To God be the Glory in all that we do!
