Thoughtful Thursday

A close friend, and family member, of mine blogs consistently - three times a week! I am so impressed at her structure and diligence. Acting on my inspiration from her, I intend to post quotes, verses, or song lyrics every Thursday.

Each entry is one that struck a thoughtful chord within me. When the verse, lyric, or quote had been read, sung, or heard my mind was left resonating ideas, questions, ponderings, what have you. My hope is that each Thoughtful Thursday post will stir your mind as well.

                             

Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands, 
 robed in the blooming garb of spring:  
 Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer 
 who makes the woeful heart to sing.

                                                                          ~ Fairest Lord Jesus, stanza 2 ~

 A woeful heart singing - kind of a paradox, isn't it? Woeful hearts don't really cause one to sing. Yet, a heart fixed on Christ does somehow sing. Beautiful, amazing, miracle.

Think about that for a bit!
