Tough Times

We all have stuff to deal with. This past week was a hard one for me. Things I can't control, don't understand. I am thankful that these hard times don't change the fact that God IS in control. The words to this song have been especially dear to me this week.

***************************
Everyone needs compassion,
Love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.

Everyone needs forgiveness,
The kindness of a Saviour;
The Hope of nations.

Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

So take me as You find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.

I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender.

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.
***********************************


Since Jesus "conquered the grave" I am assured that nothing I am facing is too big or hard for Him to handle. That has made this week bearable. Praise God for He IS mighty to save!

I forgot to tell you about this.

When we were in Canada we saw something that I wanted to share but forgot about it until I saw a picture on a friend's FB page. All along the highway there are stacks of rocks, which have been put there by humans.




Here's a good explanation of the phenomenon:


"Inukshuk (singular), meaning "likeness of a person" in Inuktitut (the Inuit language) is a stone figure made by the Inuit. The plural is inuksuit. The Inuit make inuksuit in different forms and for different purposes: to show directions to travellers, to warn of impending danger, to mark a place of respect, or to act as helpers in the hunting of caribou. Similar stone figures were made all over the world in ancient times, but the Arctic is one of the few places where they still stand. An inukshuk can be small or large, a single rock, several rocks balanced on each other, round boulders or flat. Inuit tradition forbids the destruction of inuksuit."

I just found it fascinating.
