Sweet Hour of Prayer

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

I have always had a fondness for this hymn. Every now and then I will find myself singing this, and usually it is when I am in need of a subtle reminder to turn to God in prayer. I think sometimes we just get caught up in the "busyness" of life and forget to talk to Him. We remember when we have big needs or stresses, but do we turn over the little things to Him as well?

We need to remember to take time away from our busyness and rest at the feet of our Father's throne.

I finished two more blocks for little James' quilt. The other boys are so excited for me to start theirs! Somehow my sewing to-do list has grown rather large! I have lap quilt that I am working on, the boys' Christmas quilts, I need to make a new rice heating pad, and James' is going to need a few church outfits.

Tomorrow morning we are heading to the park to play with our friends from co-op, and in the afternoon I need to work on a shopping list for our trip to Versailles.

Blessings Dear Friends!,
