Serendipity: Making a delightful and unexpected discovery
"He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings shall you take refuge: His truth shall be your shield (the One who protects you) and buckler(the One who supports you)."
~Psalm 91:4~
This weeks delightful discovery is the following poem by Joseph Beaumont (1615-1699).
GOD WITH US
Fountain of sweets! eternal Dove!
Which leav'st thy glorious perch above,
And hovering down, *vouchsafet thus
To make thy nest below with us.
Soft as thy feathers, may
We find thy love to us today;
And in the shelter of thy wing
Obtain thy leave and grace to sing.
*to bestow a privilege upon
Fountain of sweets! eternal Dove!
Which leav'st thy glorious perch above,
And hovering down, *vouchsafet thus
To make thy nest below with us.
Soft as thy feathers, may
We find thy love to us today;
And in the shelter of thy wing
Obtain thy leave and grace to sing.
*to bestow a privilege upon
Praying your day is filled with peace, rest, and praise.
Blessings,
Miss Sandy

Thanks so much for the words and love the blog.
Doves, so peaceful and the verse is one I will write down and tuck away to recall when I sit outside and listen to my doves. This always causes me to reflect on Him!
This is lovely....your heart is in what you do...and God must be so glad that you share your thoughts of Love. Your, Mary
