Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

There's A Wideness

I usually post a Bible verse on Sunday but today I'm posting the words of a hymn that you don't very often hear. There's A Wideness by Frederick W Faber There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in His Justice, Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in His blood. For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word, And our lives would all be sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord.
God loves you and wants you to be happy! Have a blessed Sunday and enjoy your day!

Isn't that a great old hymn! I've never heard it before, but will look for it in my hymnbooks now.

I've never heard it either but it sounds really good. Hope you have a nice day. It's so foggy here you could cut it with a knife.
