Karen Peck & New River - Four Days Late

The news came to Jesus, Please come fast
Lazarus is sick and without your help he will not last
Mary and Martha watched their brother die
They waited for Jesus, He did not come
And they wondered why.

The death watch was over, Buried four days
Somebody said He'll soon be here, the Lord's on His way
Martha ran to Him and then she cried
Lord if you had been here You could have healed him
He'd still be alive

But You're four days late And all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why you've waited so long
But His way is God's way Not yours or mine
When He's four days late
He's still on time

Jesus said Martha show me the grave, But she said Lord
You don't understand He's been there four days
The grave stone was rolled back, Then Jesus cried
Lazarus come forth then somebody said
He's alive, He's alive

But You're four days late And all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why you've waited so long
But His way is God's way Not yours or mine
When He's four days late
He's still on time

You may be fighting a battle of fear
You've cried to the Lord I need You now
But he has not appeared.
Friend don't be discouraged
Cause He's still the same
He'll soon be here He'll roll back the stone
And He'll call out your name

But You're four days late And all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why you've waited so long
But His way is God's way Not yours or mine
When He's four days late He's still on time


UPDATE--  Got the job!!! Woo Hoo Thank you Lord!!

Sweet Prayer

Dear Addilyn,
         Every night we pray before we tell the "Free (3) Bears" and "Free Pigs".  It's so sweet to hear you thank God for everything you did that day.  Last night at church was Senior night.  We were honoring the senior graduates (your cousin Ryano is graduating which is crazy to me..he should still be a 7th grader it seems) and we had a little finger foods potluck over at the gym after services.  Each graduate had a table decorated.  You kids were running and hiding under the tables.  Anyways, last night your prayer went like this.....

"Dear God, dank you dis day.  Dank you watch Diego. Dank you watch moobies. Dank you go to chuch. Dank you run fast. Dank you hide unda tables. Aaaaa-meeeeeen."

So sweet!  Momma is so proud of you.  I hope you always thank God for everything in your blessed life.

                                                         I love you, Momma

Grace

"There will be grace, grace to make it through this trial,
There will strength, strength to walk another mile,
There will be hope when I've done all I can,
I'm glad to know, it's in the Saviour's hands."

Today We....

Dear Addilyn,
            Today..............

Daddy woke me up at 6:30 to iron his clothes for a prayer breakfast
I cooked you some bacon
Daddy came home
We all went to Little Rock to buy Daddy a crappie pole
Then went to Conway Farm and Home to buy Daddy some Muck boots
Came home and you rode your 4 wheeler
Daddy hauled off a dead chicken and killed a cat
We walked to Grandma Teen's and took her some meatball and pear perserves
Came home, you and Daddy took a nap while Momma went and met "Mckmama"
Learned about Xygular
Went and bought groceries at Wal-Mart
Unloaded groceries then we all went fishing with the family
Came back to Mawmaw and Papa's house
Ate some ugly looking but great tasting deer sausage
I went to Kim's and picked up your yardsale clothes she had bought
You bit Samuel, I spanked you
You hugged him and said you were sorry
We came home
I cooked mexican chicken for Sunday's lunch
Did laundry
We all bathed and now.....

I'm pooped!!!

Love you,
Momma

Your 1st Prayer

Dear Addilyn,  You are 3 years and 4 months old.  I always say the prayer with you when we are going to sleep.  Last night, I asked if you could say the prayer and you did.  Ahhh, it was so sweet.  I'm smiling now just typing this.  You said "thank you for church" and many other things.  How sweet!!  You are growing up so fast and it just amazes me at what all you know and understand.  When you were a baby, I would have to walk in circles around the house bouncing you for hours to get you to sleep.  Now, we just gather your pink blankie, green blankie, blue blankie, and other pink blankie and go lay down to tell stories and pray.  Sometimes we have to have your cat, elephant, penguin, baby dog, and duck in the bed too...but thats ok.  I love you baby girl!!       - Momma

(PS. On a sad note- We have lost 2 chickens and our rooster "Ryan Mallet" recently...thanks to the neighbor's dogs and a raccoon)
