Nice day

Some one did something nice for me today. It wasn't very significant, but it made me smile anyway. I was on my way home from my business class and I come to this stoplight and then I wait until the traffic is clear and then I turn left. Anyway, the stoplight is red and the oncoming traffic at this light backs up pretty quick. So...the light turns green and I pull out into the intersection waiting for the traffic to clear and the first car in the oncoming traffic waves me on to go first! I didn't even have the right of way! I thought that was pretty nice, although the cars behind the other guy (who was letting me go) were starting to honk. Oh, well. :) It was a little kindess that made me glad there was someone else out there in the world who felt like being nice to a stranger.


Being on the subject of traffic reminds me of police cars. I thought I would try and post an older tv show from the late 1960s and early 1970s--Adam 12 as soon as I figure it out. ;) I really enjoy it, so I thought someone else might too. I will try and write some more hymn stories. I love them too (thanks Lindsay :)

Hymn of the day

Well another day! I had my school classes, so that was a little hectic trying to get things together. I tend to procrastinate too much, which is not a good thing. :) It was a dreary day today. Cloudy, but it was WARM! Which made up for the gray skies. I thought I would share a devotion from a book that my beloved piano teacher gave to me on my high school graduation. This is the hymn:

Near to the Heart of God

There is a place of quiet rest

Near to the heart of God,

A place where sin cannot molest,

Near to the heart of God.

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,

Sent from the heart of God,

Hold us who wait before Thee

Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of comfort sweet

Near to the heart of God,

A place where we our Savior meet,

Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of full release

Near to the heart of God,

A place where all is joy and peace,

Near to the heart of God.

~Cleland Boyd McAfee (1866-1944)

And this is the text:

February 10th

Where do you turn when unexpected tragedy strikes? Cleland McAfee, a Presbyterian minister in Chicago, had just received word that his brother and sister-in-law had lost both of their daughters to diphtheria within twenty-four hours. Grief-stricken, McAfee couldn't think of deep theological issues; he could only think of verses in the book of Psalms that brought comfort and rest to those who sought refuge in the Lord. As he meditated on God's Word, he wrote the words and music to this simple hymn. At the double funeral, outside the darkened, quarantined house of his brother, Cleland McAfee with a choking voice sang this hymn publicly for the first time. The following Sunday, his church choir sang it from their pastor's handwritten copy.

Psalm 46:1, 10-11

I think it is so interesting to read the story behind these beloved hymns. Sometimes we take them for granted and forget there were real people behind the words and they had the same feelings we have today. It is such a blessing to know that we can sing these as praise to our Lord.

Let's see...I think that is all for now. I believe I feel spring coming on even though it is the beginning of February. The warm weather must be fooling me. RRrr. Now, my next task is to try and figure out how to post video. ;)
