WELCOME SPRING!

I Exalt Thee

I'm happy to be joining Amy for Then Sings My Soul Saturday, and Charlotte and Ginger for Spiritual Sundays. It's taking me awhile to get back to blogging, which is funny, because I have so very much to say! Today, though, this is exactly where I am. In the midst of daily activities, plus the added chore of spring cleaning and decluttering, I find that everything comes to gentle stops throughout the day, as I reflect on PURPOSE and PEACE. What are they, and how do I find them? This is my answer.




Love to all,

Mary

  2. Mary, I love this song and haven't heard it for some time. Thank you for posting it. I needed to hear it.

    I've missed you in blog land but so glad you're back. I'm writing as I am listening and I have to say ...this song touches my heart so much. I feel like crying which I don't often do. I think this was one of the first praise songs I listened to over and over when I first began to truly walk with the Lord. We had a cabin in Flagstaff (mountain area of AZ) and I would go for walks listening to music like this). It was a time of first love and was so excited about walking with the Lord.

    Yes, I exalt thee! Thank you Mary. See, we need you in bloggy land.

    Love,
    Debbie

  5. Blessings Mary, I thought it had been a while since I had seen you! I'm so glad that amidst the clutter, you were able to come and EXALT the LORD with us! I so love this song and tried finding it once when it was on my heart! I could sing it over and over all day! In fact after I visit one more beautiful face...that's exactly what I'll do! Thanks Mary for lifting your praise and ours today to EXALT Him!

    Yes, LORD, I exalt Thee!!!

    Don't stay away too long now... a little bit here and a little bit there! Bless you and enJOY TSMSS and a wonderful week exalting Him!

  9. This is a wonderful, wonderful song of worship!!! Every time I hear it I raise my hands to the heavens to praise God. I first heard it years ago on a CD of music by Don Moen.

  15. Beautiful post, Mary!
    And really beautiful song!
    I've been missing you and I was so happy to see you post and comment on my blog.
    And I'm glad to hear that you are getting lots accomplished outside of blogland too.
    I haven't been posting all that much either, I've been busy too, and then it's hard to get back into the swing of things!

    I think of you often and you and your family are in my prayers.
    Love to you,
    Eileen

  20. Mary, I always miss you when you're gone, and I've been MIA, too. If you get a chance, I would love for you to pray for the sale of our getaway. I want the Lord's will done on that property. I posted about it if you get a chance to check it out. Thanks in advance for prayers.

    Sending love your way...

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

  24. Mary, I found your site when I googled "teacups" for a story I'm writing, and wanted you to know how moved I was by what you have posted. I was particularly affected by the photograph of the soldier with the kitten and wondered where it came from? Do you know the young man? I just think it's so beautiful and thank you for posting it for all to see.
