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

Sunday

Happy Sunday

The sky this morning.

A hymn we sang at church this morning. 

🎶 For The Beauty Of The Earth 🎶
Folliott S Pierpoint in 1864

1. For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies.

Refrain:
Christ, our Lord, to you we raise
this, our hymn of grateful praise.

2. For the wonder of each hour
of the day and of the night,
hill and vale and tree and flower,
sun and moon and stars of light. 

3. For the joy of human love,
brother, sister, parent, child,
friends on earth, and friends above,
for all gentle thoughts and mild.

4. For yourself, best gift divine,
to the world so freely given,
agent of God's grand design:
peace on earth and joy in heaven. 

📖 Ephesians 5:20 📖
 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father 
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

📖 Psalm 18:3a 📖
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised:

A Blessed Sunday to all.
🤗HappyK❤️

Ivy - I went to the library first and kept the book dry under my sweatshirt.
