Getting better

Well, things are getting better, still missing the dog but I probably will for a while yet.

I did see a lady out walking her dogs today and thought of asking if I could pet one.  I did not though, instead I kept walking and burst into tears. 

 In other news the following song has been in my head all day long.  I’m not quite sure why, but it reminds me of 2 things, One: that I am so thankful for the grace of God, and Two: There is no other place I need to go for grace other than to God. 

O for a heart that is whiter than snow,
Kept, ever kept ‘neath the life-giving flow,
Cleansed from all evil, self-seeking and pride,
Kept pure and holy by Calvary’s tide! 

O for a heart whiter than snow!
Saviour divine, to whom else shall I go?
Thou who didst die, loving me so,
Give me a heart that is whiter than snow.

O for a heart that is whiter than snow,
Calm in the peace that he loves to bestow,
Daily refreshed by the heavenly dews,
Ready for service whene’er he shall choose!

O for a heart that is whiter than snow,
With the pure flame of the Spirit aglow,
Filled with the love that is true and sincere,
Love that is able to banish all fear!

O for a heart that is whiter than snow,
Then in his grace and his knowledge to grow,
Growing like him who my pattern shall be,
Till in his beauty my King I shall see!
