What I Believe
QUOTE OF THE WEEK

 

Compare yourself with those who on the Lord’s Day hear nothing except the dismal sound of the world. What a privilege it is for you to hear the proclamation of the gospel!
Bakker, Frans.

Giving Thanks in November

Hiraeth%20hymn%20large.JPG 

Isn't the blogging community amazing?  A week or so ago, we were discussing the proper pronunciation of Hiraeth.  Joel, who blogs at On the Other Foot and teaches the Welsh language, weighed in and helped us out.

This evening he has posted the Welsh hymn, Hiraeth, for me on his blog.  You can see both the Welsh words and the English translation.

I am thankful that such a generous person has taken the time to scan the hymn from his gymanfa hymnal just so that I could see it!

And speaking of generous blogging friends, Karen from Simply A Musing Blog, shares her thanksgiving for God's providential provision through the provision of a friend.  A heartwarming story. 

God is good.

 Connie agrees.  She is thankful for "creature comforts"--the simple daily blessings that God bestows.

Have I missed any?  Please do send me your link and I'll update!

Wow! That is so cool! Your blog has its very own hymn now! I love it!

I want to say something about the words of that hymn, but I just can't do it justice. For some reason it's striking a chord in my heart tonight.

I agree with the other comments: that is cool!
