Our Somis Life: Fourth of July Pics

Thought you may enjoy these...We bought a special UV tent for Owen to hang out in at the beach.

Great things I'm up to right now

Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save from wrath and make me pure.

Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to the cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
[originally When my eye-strings break in death]
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

Robert Murray McCheyne

"If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me."

"Live near to God, and all things will appear little to you in comparison with eternal realities."

"Oh how sweet to work for God all day, and then lie down at night beneath His smile."

"Unfathomable oceans of grace are in Christ for you. Dive and dive again, you will never come to the bottom of these depths. How many millions of dazzling pearls and gems are at this moment hid in the deep recesses of the ocean caves."

"A man who loves you the most is the man who tells you the most truth about yourself."

"Our soul should be a mirror of Christ; we should reflect every feature: for every grace in Christ there should be a counterpart in us." [Letter: 26 February 1840]

"One gem from that ocean is worth all the pebbles from earthly streams." [speaking of the Scriptures]

"Even in the wildest storms the sky is not all dark; and so in the darkest dealings of God with His children, there are always some bright tokens for good." [Letter: 6 February 1839]

"Set NOT your hearts on the flowers of this world. They shall fade and die. Prize the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. He changes not! Live nearer to Christ than to any person on this earth; so that when they are taken, you may have Him to love and lean upon."
