The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs? Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.
Blessings, Lord, blessings upon blessings. The blessing of salvation, of being drawn into Your family as a child of God's. The blessing of laboring in one of Your vineyards among men and women who have been gathered likewise. The blessing of a helpmate who is one with me in You. The blessing of the gift of prayer for family, friends and strangers. Blessings upon blessings upon blessings. Praise You, my Lord and Master.
