Friday night Peace


Hello Friends, my 7 Quick Takes Friday is very low key this week.  To meet Jennifer at Conversion Diary and see the other posts, do click here.

1.We are at home on Friday night relaxing after our busiest week of singing commitments of our month. One of the groups we played for was the Tibouchina Club, which is named after the shrub that lines the streets of their town.
2. It has been a very satisfying week.
3. We had a cooked lunch and are just snacking this evening.
4. It has been raining this afternoon, lovely and cosy to be inside.
5. Some friends wanted us to go to a dance this evening, but we were both very happy to stay home.
6. We've got a small heater on for the first time this year.... for those that wonder about this, I'm in Australia going into Winter.

7. Thoughts about what I will post for Simple Joys Saturday are on my mind.

So Gentle a Name     from One Minute Devotions BJ Hoff
Jesus....
A name to subdue
mighty oceans and nations,
A name to tame
hurricane winds and wild beasts,
A name to call forth praise
from all God's creation,
yet so gentle a name
that we call Him our peace.

He himself is our peace.  Ephesians 2:14
