A Glimpse of Perfection
This precious little daughter
That the Lord has given you,
Will doubtless bring you more joy,
As she smiles back up at you.
How gracious a Heavenly Father,
As on you such love He has shown.
Entrusting you with another child,
For you to raise up as your own.
Each time you look upon her,
Gives reason to remember;
She is a special reward
From your Heavenly Father.
And as He is filling your quiver,
With this great token of His love
Take more time aside to remember,
All His past blessings from above.
Looking on God’s perfection;
Remember, He makes all things new;
Providing you a sweet glimpse,
Of the work He’s doing in you.
For while He has given you,
A new life, for Him, to train;
He is also molding you,
In the image of His name.

of their 6th child, a daughter, in 2004.
*************
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Psalm 127:3
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
they shall not be ashamed,
but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:5
Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
Being confident of this very thing,
hat he which hath begun a good work in you
will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philipians 1:6

Blessed Assurance
by Fanny Crosby
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Refrain
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
