In Your presence is fullness of joy;

At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
Joseph M. Scriven

At Cabalas

Friday night, we left for Grandpa and Grandma's house. We got there late, talked a little with G'pa and G'ma and Sarah and Stephen. The next morning, after sleeping in a little and a delicious breakfast of pancakes, most of us drove about five minutes away to Cabelas. It was the first time I've been to this store, and I had lots of fun taking pictures.=)

Cabela's airplane.

The safari exhibit.

G'ma and G'pa gave Joe a camo sweat shirt for Christmas that was just a little too small, so he exchanged that for a bigger one.

Looking at fish.

This fish pouts too much.=)
