Isn't this a beautiful song?

"Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me, All His wonderful passion and purity;

May His Spirit divine All my being refine, Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me."

"When your burden is heavy and hard to bear, When your neighbors refuse all your load to share,

When you're feeling so blue, Don't know just what to do, Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in you."

"When somebody has been so unkind to you, Some word spoken that pierces you through and through,

Think how He was beguiled, Spat upon and reviled; Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in you."

"From the dawn of the morning to close of day, In example, in deeds, and in all you say,

Lay your gifts at His feet, Ever strive to keep sweet, Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in you."

  • w3jl
    I love that song. It says so much about the way we should behave and I really need to work on that everyday!

Use the talents you possess- for the woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except for the best!

  • w3jl
    Another change of plans! Now we are having black on top, white on bottom and a red accent wall. It's getting harder to love him!! :^)

    Hey it was aweosme seeing you this weekend! I'll see ya Friday night hopefully. :)
    by stephen_hall at 09/22/08 9:48PM
  • gemma
    It's pretty good. You can do it cold or hot but I mostly do it hot. It's Lipton's brand but I personally like Cracker Barrel's cold raspberry tea a little better if I had a choise between the two. The blackberry tea doesn't have quite as much flavor as the raspberry tea does. Lipton's is tea bags and of course the raspberry tea is liquid flavoring. But yeah, hot blackberry tea fixed with a little cream and sugar is good!...and who would have known that one could write so much about a tea flavor. =)

Go to the website gemscamp.com for a sample of the schedule. If you click on the 2007 sample schedule button, then the 2008 schedule will come up. I AM SO EXCITED!

    Update
    by katiechumley at 07/15/08 12:36PM

it's chilly!!!!!

so yesterday i was at work, it had been pretty busy and finally slacked off for a while, so i started walking around the store (standing behind the host podium gets old) :P .. and this older guy that i work with sometimes walks in the door to get his paycheck, he sees me whips around and smiles, & says "hey!!"...after a while he's like wonder woman!! you look just like her, i've been tryin to figure out who you look like and that's it! he says all this (rather loudly ) he was being serious.. i stand there kinda in shock that he would almost yell that in front of all the people, then if that weren't enough he goes and gets a guest and says doesn't she look like wonder woman?!..she replies yeah she does!..so i finally get out of the random moment..and walk back to the wonderful podium once again..lol. so how is everyone's week going? there's a chance we might get 2 inches of snow tonight!!!!! yay.
  • stephen_hall
    LOL tell him you have more diggnaty than to wear such an ugly outfit haha.

    the snow was awesome, I just wish it would snow on a day I don't have to work! I really did enjoy taking care of the kids! The 2 year old added to the cube atmosphere (which is about 99% of the time lil babies!) THe kids in the cube stay without their mommies or daddies.
