The love of God

"The love of God is greater farThan tongue or pen can ever tell;It goes beyond the highest star,And reaches to the lowest hell;The guilty pair, bowed down with care,God gave His Son to win;His erring child He reconciled,And pardoned from his sin.

Could we with ink the ocean fill,And were the skies of parchment made,Were every stalk on earth a quill,And every man a scribe by trade,To write the love of God above,Would drain the ocean dry.Nor could the scroll contain the whole,Though stretched from sky to sky.

O love of God, how rich and pure!How measureless and strong!It shall forevermore endureThe saints’ and angels’ song."

-Fred­er­ick Leh­man and Clau­dia L. Mays

New week, new blog.

Ever have those days when you just want to snuggle into the covers of your bed and sleep the day away? This would be one of those days for me. it's been a long week filled with many emotions here and there and right now I'd just like to rest. Unfortunately, I have quite a bit of homework left to be done, so I need to do that... after I take a thirty minute nap. I think it's interesting how we (the majority of people I've talked to about this) need to take a rest day once a week just like the example God set when He was creating the universe. Obviously, God didn't need to rest since He never grows weak or weary, but He chose to rest.
I'm off to take a little nap now. :)
