There’s a peace in my heart that the world never gave,
A peace it cannot take away;
Though the trials of life may surround like a cloud,
I’ve a peace that has come here to stay
!Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine;
Constantly abiding, rapture divine;
He never leaves me lonely, whispers, oh, so kind:
“I will never leave thee”—Jesus is mine.
All the world seemed to sing of a Savior and King,
When peace sweetly came to my heart;
Troubles all fled away and my night turned to day,
Blessed Jesus, how glorious Thou art!
Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine;
Constantly abiding, rapture divine;
He never leaves me lonely, whispers, oh, so kind:
“I will never leave thee”—Jesus is mine.
This treasure I have in a temple of clay,
While here on His footstool I roam;
But He’s coming to take me some glorious day,
Over there to my heavenly home!
hymn written by Anne S. Murphy
Good to be Home 
Lovely, inspirational, meaningful words, and gorgeous pics from a beautiful person. It’s nice to see your post. 🙂
You might not know this, but I was praying for you as that hurricane went by. I almost sent a warning about the tidal surge, because I know you are right on the beach. Most people die in a hurricane from the tidal surge, and most don’t realize how bad a large tidal surge can be. I lived near the coast too long, and heard too many horror stories of people who got trapped by rising tides and couldn’t leave in time. I even composed it and everything…then I thought, “No, that seems controlling. She is a big girl and is quite smart and careful” and I deleted it and doubled up my prayers.
Regardless, I’m very happy to know you didn’t get swept away. The pics are stunning. There is nothing like a sunset or sunrise at the beach…
Thank you for sharing the pics and uplifting reminder that it’s all in Gods control.
YOU ARE SO SWEET!!! just so wonderful. thank you for being so “Karing”

hi shanda…….glorious photos and beautiful words to accompany them.
I love this post so much, my momma.
Beautiful!
Thank you for this post. My dad died on this day last week, such encouraging words for such a time as this in my life.
I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. Thinking of you.
