Love of every love the best!

"O the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward to Thy glorious rest above!


O the deep, deep love of Jesus, spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own;
How for them He intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne!


O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best!
’Tis an ocean full of blessing, ’tis a haven giving rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, ’tis a heaven of heavens to me;
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!"
|| S. Trevor Francis


 




A small glimpse of Valentine's day at the Nelsons...filled with family, and special food, and playing in the snow, and bright colors, and fun crafts, and candy [of course!], and sweet gestures of love. Because that's what this day is all about...celebrating love, with the things we love. :) Especially the love of Jesus...the greatest of all!

"How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure!
That He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure..."
|| S. Townsend
