소래산의봄.
언제:2010년3월27일토요일오후.
어디:늠내길3코스.
토요일오후 회사를 마치고 집에 와보니 와이프가 소래산 산행중이다.
나도 복장을 갖추고 봄나들이를 나섰다.
바람이 불어 조금은 쌀쌀하지만 바람결에 봄내음이 묻어난다.
아직 겨울색을 벗지못하였지만 땅이 녹아 뿌리를 통해 물이 올라 나무 끝까지 올라와있다...
나무가지를 자세히 보면 새순이 나오려고 안간힘을 쓰고 있는 모습을 발견할 수 있다.
진달래는 이미 꽃망울를 머금고 있고 양지바른 곳에선 벌써 활짝 핀 것도 있다.
이제 온산에 진달래물결이 일렁일 날이 머지않았다.
등산로 길가 한적한 곳에서는 갈잎을 덮어쓰고 있다가,
새순을 하늘을 향해 뻣어 봄햇살를 맛보려고 기지개를 피고 있다.
하산하여 주택옆을 지나다가 집앞 화단에 핀 제비꽃...
Lindy Kerby - Story of Faith
John Moyle walked once a week to the temple
He walked twenty two miles each way
He worked hard to complete it's construction
knowing blessings that he'd get someday
So when a tragedy took off his right leg
He stayed determined, and walked there in pain
On a leg made of wood by the temple he stood
and chiseled, "Holiness to the Lord"
This is a story, a story of faith
a sacrifice made for the work of the kingdom
to build up a temple a house of the Lord
He gave up his time and his talents and more
for the temple of the Lord
Peter Neilson had grown up in Denmark
But he left all to live with the saints.
He was poor, but he'd earned enough money
for a home that he'd hoped for and saved.
But as it came time to buy temple windows,
more money was needed to pay.
Peter felt in his heart, with his home he could part,
and gave all the money he'd saved
This is a story, a story of faith
a sacrifice made for the work of the kingdom
to build up a temple a house of the Lord
He gave up his homeland, his savings and more
for the temple of the Lord
Many pioneer women kept heirlooms
like china and dishes and pearls
they'd been handed down for generations
and meant so much to each of those girls
But they wanted to help build the temple
So these items were given away
as were pennies and dimes
and their service and time
they instead left a story of faith
This is a story, a story of faith
a sacrifice made for the work of the kingdom
to build up a temple a house of the Lord
a place where God's ordninances could be performed
in the temple of the Lord
And now there are temples all over the world
even here in this place where we dwell
Though in our time it's different there's much to be
done and there's many more stories to tell
What will be our story, our story of faith
our sacrifice made for the work of the kingdom?
Will we serve in the temple
in the house of the Lord
in the place where God's or dinances
have been restored in the temple of the Lord?
(alternative previous 2 lines)
Will we give of our time and our talents and more
in the service of our Lord?
What will be our story?
