While I probably should be writing about our second granddaughter being born this day, my deadline does not allow it. “Andi” will just have to wait to have her story told on another day. Yesterday, after a morning that brought back a variety of childhood memories, Brooklyn then came to spend the night while I was CARoling.
Glory be to Jesus, Who in bitter pains Poured for me the lifeblood From His sacred veins!
Grace and life eternal In that blood I find; Blest be His compassion, Infinitely kind! Lift we, then, our voices, Swell the mighty flood; Louder still and louder Praise the precious blood!

There are times (more than I care to admit) that the “negative Hetzner” in me rises up to exasperating heights.
Lamb of God, pure and holy, Who on the cross didst suffer,
Ever patient and lowly,Thyself to scorn didst offer. All sins Thou borest for us, Else had despair reigned o’er us: Have mercy on us, O Jesus! O Jesus!

Today Your mercy calls us To wash away our sin. However great our trespass, Whatever we have been,
However long from mercy Our hearts have turned away, Your precious blood can wash us And make us clean today.

This past Saturday God called home a dear and faith-filled lady whom I had the privilege of pastoring. She was born in 1923. She suffered from dementia. Due to the pandemic, she was separated from her family during her last days on earth. Even if this is not sounding familiar to you, it certainly does to me. It all could also be said of my mother-in-law, except that she was called home about nine months earlier.
