How Great Thou Art

Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee
How great Thou art how great Thou art.

When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
To take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art

Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee
How great Thou art how great Thou art.

Happy I Value Our Friendship Day!

[JustAmy]

Friend and Friends Forever

A friend is a friend forever.
They'll ignite a flame of love,br. And set your heart aglow,
And light up your life
From your head down to your toe.

A faithful friend is always there
To lend a helping hand.
They'll be there to defend your honor
And take a firm or gentle stand.

When you least expect it,
They may drop in to say,
"Hello, how have you been?
I love you with all my heart,
My true and special friend."

A friend will add beauty to your life,
Like a sweet scented flower.
A good conversation may last into the night
Or for many, many, hours.

They will take time to stop and listen,
When your life is in doubt.
That's what a good friend's love is all about.
A hug, a smile, a tear, or a gentle touch.

These are the things a
forever friend will say and do...
For, they love you forever
and always, so very very much.

Good afternoon, Victoria.

The sentiment and the card are both beautiful. Thank you.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Nice poem, Amy. Thanks.

How's your Sunday going?

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, A-G.

Hope you are having a delightful Sunday.

[Victoria Delsoul]

You're welcome.

Marissa's brother is visiting today and tonight. So we are having a nice Sunday (until they start arguing later). Marissa is always excited when he comes to spend the night.

I have one more packet of homework. I have finished the coloring, now I need to cut and paste. I've finished the pickle jars, the bears and the watermelons. I will work on the pumpkins later this afternoon. :)

I hope to work on taxes this later this afternoon also.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I hope to work on taxes this later this afternoon also.

Will you be able to find the time for your taxes with so much homework, goodness! :-)

[JustAmy]

LOL

Probably not .... maybe I can get them started.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Yeah, something is better than nothing, you know. Although, the only thing the taxman cares about is, ALL.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Meekie.

Hope you and Ying are having a relaxing Sunday.

I don't think we will get into the 70's today.

ACCENTUATE THE POSTIVE
Lyric by Johnny Mercer
Music by Harold Arlen

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

(To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark)

Man, they said we better
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do you hear me, hmm?

(Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear
About the elininatin' of the negative
And the accent on the positive)
And gather 'round me children if you're willin'
And sit tight while I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right

(You've gotta accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between)

You've got to spread joy (up to the maximum)
Bring gloom (down) down to the minimum
Otherwise (otherwise) pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate (well illustrate) my last remark (you got the floor)
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say (what did they say)
Say when everything looked so dark

Man, they said we better
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No! Don't mess with Mister In-Between
