For Patter's post on this beautiful hymn please visit her lovely blog at www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com . This is another hymn which I haven't heard before. The words are so wonderful though , it is a really encouraging hymn! There doesn't appear to be a video of anyone singing this hymn, so I visited the link in Patter's post and sang along to the piano accompaniment ! {Not ready to post a video on You tube just yet ! }
I had phoned a friend for a chat one day and she shared a scripture with me . I knew straight away I wanted to use it for my page . Thank you June !

Another lovely hymn again , chosen by Patter. Her post on this hymn and her beautiful page are at www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com .
I love the way The Lord directs me when I am choosing the scriptures for my pages. This time , I opened an old address book and found a card which a friend had given me a few years ago. She had written it out from a bible study, I think it may have been a Beth Moore study. There was my scripture - Ephesians 1:7.
This scripture reminded me of the first verse of the hymn :
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
I chose the paper for my page as I had remembered a book by Francine Rivers - The Scarlet Thread .
It is a story of two women in different periods linked together by a quilt with a scarlet thread running through it.The thread represents the blood of Jesus and its redemptive power - the scarlet thread that runs throughout the bible. The paper is from a Christmas set but I thought it would work well with the theme of my page as it is full of scarlet threads!

I also have the hymn on a cd given to me by another friend ,this version [slightly different] is by Gateway Worship , link below to listen.
So , apart from studying this beautiful hymn , I have had some lovely memories of two dear friends who I miss very much since I moved to the UK. Thank you June and Suzie!
Thanks for visiting today and I hope you are as blessed by this hymn as I have been this week!
Another wonderful post from Patter regarding this hymn over at www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com.
I found it difficult to choose my scripture for my page,but when I read Patter's post again the verse John 8:36 really stood out for me. I wanted the verse to stand out on my page too so I was pleased to use the beautiful frame from a Sizzix die. I didn't place it very straight I'm afraid ,but as I used Glossy Accents to glue it in place it is well and truly stuck!
I'm not sure what I'm doing here ! I have not been updated on the blogs I follow when I sign in to Blogger.
I have been advised to use Bloglovin and so am following their instructions to copy and paste the above to a blog post.
Their reader seems to be better than the other one but as with all things computer related it will take me some time to understand it all !
Glad to have a list back though of updates on my favourite blogs !
Another beautiful hymn ! When I chose to make a bouquet of tulips for my page I thought Spring was in the air. Today we woke up to snow again ! Looks like it will be around for a few days so I'm glad I have my page to remind me Spring can't be that far away? No matter what weather we have God is always worthy of our worship and what a difference it makes to us.
Having sung hymns since early schooldays ,when we had a hymn and prayer every morning before classes began ,I am surprised at the number of hymns I haven't heard before. Patters challenge over at www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com is introducing me to many beautiful hymns which are new to me.
One of the things I like best about the challenges is studying for the scripture which I want to use on my page.My scripture this time is from another favourite psalm , Psalm 121:1-2.

The first hymn in Patter's 2013 challenge over at www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com. Patter has written a lovely post about this hymn , the background to it and some wonderful thoughts about the words.
I included a small cross at the top of my page which I tried to make to look like the palm crosses we used to hold high on Palm Sunday at my previous church. Another hymn that I wasn't familiar with but such beautiful words.
I thought I would share a worship song {today's hymns !} by Robin Mark -The Wonder of The Cross
How can we ever thank Jesus enough for what He accomplished for us on the cross!!
Just a note - I've had problems uploading photos using Internet Explorer and was told to try using a different browser. This worked but even though everything is neatly typed on my post, when it is published , headings, footnotes etc do not appear in the correct places!
