Memories of the past...
Last year, the dad and kids found this old, ababandoned homestead near our cottage. I reallly like this picture. Wonder if the people who used to live there enjoyed it in their day.

Red and yellow, black and white....
This is the song that popped into Grandpa's head when he looked at the skidoos!

God speaks to every mother...
"Take this child, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages." (Exodus 2:9)
"Take this child, and nurse it for me,
and I will give thee thy wages." (Exodus 2:9)
"Take this child and nurse it for me" -
So King Pharaoh's daughter spake
To the mother, whose whole being
For her little one did ache.
So God speaks to every mother
At her helpless infant's birth:
"Take this child and nurse it for Me",
During all its life on earth.
"Take this child, to thee I trust it;
It from thee must learn the way,
Through the earthly darkness round it,
To the light of heavenly day.
"Take this child - and Mother, ponder!
Yonder heaven is pure and fair;
Wouldst thou be amidst its number
And thy little one not there?
"Oh, then train it, gently, wisely,
Of its Saviour's love to feel;
And, where sin has cast its shadow,
Teach it Christ has power to heal.
"Take this child, this richest blessing
Given to the earthly home;
Take this child and nurse it for Me,
Till to claim Mine own I come."
