Here is another great old hymn, that I don't hear too much these days. I am including both the lyrics and a video of the song, in case you want to hear it.

Hope y'all have a wonderful Sunday!

Bringing In The Sheaves

 

Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;
Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.
Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows,
Fearing neither clouds nor winter’s chilling breeze;
By and by the harvest, and the labor ended,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves,
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves,

Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master,
Though the loss sustained our spirit often grieves;
When our weeping’s over, He will bid us welcome,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves,
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves,
 

The other week I was cutting my oldest son Mitchell's hair with the clippers and while I was focused on him, Hunter quietly grabbed the scissors and whacked his hair!  The sad thing is I didn't even notice until I was completely done with cutting Mitchell's hair.

My husband said it looked too close to have been cut with scissors, but it had to have been!  I was using the clippers the whole time and it's such a small little area, the clippers would have cute a wider path.


To fix the damage he did, I had to use the clippers on him.  I started with around 3/4 inch, but ended up having to go down to the lowest guard I had to make it look even.  Funny thing is, it looks like it's growing back in darker than before.

I'm actually surprised that this is the first time he's ever done this.  Oh, well, it's just hair, it'll grow back, lol!
 

I'm sure you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing on this day 11 years ago.  I was at work at a
bank in Charlotte, NC.  I was devastated and cried the entire day.  Today we are remembering those who lost their lives that day whether in Pennsylvania, New York, or at the Pentagon.

The tunnel we took to visit the memorial

The only memorial I have been able to visit so far has been the Pentagon Memorial.  We visited while in Washington this past spring.  Today I am sharing pictures and some information about this memorial.

One of the benches

The Pentagon Memorial remembers the 184 people who lost their lives when terrorists hijacked American Airlines flight 77 and flew it into the Pentagon.

A bench in memory of a victim and their whole family who was killed

There are benches with the names of the 125 people who were killed in the Pentagon and for the 59 victims who were on the plane.  Each bench has the name of one of the victims and the benches are faced either toward the Pentagon or away from it depending on whether or not they were on the plane or in the building.


The memorial is arranged according to the age of the victims from the youngest who was three years old to the oldest who was 71 years old.  Also there is an age wall with the years the victims were born.  It starts at 3 inches high and goes up to 71 inches high.

The area where the plane hit

Today my family and I will watch a 9/11 documentary.  We try to watch a different one each year.  I want my children to understand the terrible tragedy that happened that day.  Mitchell was barely old enough to remember that day, but Hunter wasn't even born so we'll have to teach him little by little.

God Bless America!  We will never forget the thousands who died that day and the many heroes who helped and continue to help keep up safe!
