Jesus Is The Lighthouse




THE LIGHTHOUSE

There's a lighthouse on the hillside
That overlooks life's sea.
When I'm tossed it sends out a light,
Tis a light that I might see.
And the light that shines in darkness now
Will safely lead us o'er.
If it wasn't for the lighthouse,
My ship would be no more.

And I thank God for the lighthouse,
I owe my life to Him.
For Jesus is the lighthouse
And from the rocks of sin;
He has shone a light around me
That I could clearly see,
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Tell me where would this ship be.

Everybody that lives around us
Says tear that lighthouse down.
The big ships don't sail this way anymore,
There's no use of it standing around.
Then my mind goes back to that stormy night,
When just in time I saw the light;
Yes the light from that old lighthouse
That stands up there on the hill.

And I thank God for the lighthouse,
I owe my life to Him.
For Jesus is the lighthouse
And from the rocks of sin;
He has shone a light around me
That I could clearly see,
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Tell me where would this ship be.

If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Tell me where would this ship be.

ruby tuesday for daniel our new friend

last saturday, bernie and i went to niagara falls to purchase a machine called "the wooden musical centre".
my sister, gracey had purchased one a while back and said that it is a really good machine.
what it does is allow a person to make a cd, from old vinyl records and cassettes.
as we have hundreds of records and cassettes, bernie thought that this would be a good idea.
oh, it would save so much space and make for a neater house!
i had made the mistake of letting him see connies's perfectly organized home and now he wants the same thing.

after all, he says cds are much easier to store than those big records and all those cassettes....hundreds of them!
well, when we brought our treasure home, we discovered that the turn-table would not rotate.
i called the tech support.
bernie had already gone to work and so it was up to me to find out what we were doing wrong.
the young man i talked to was very nice and tried to help.
it turned out that the machine was defective and he suggested we return and exchange it for another one.
in the meantime, we struck up a friendship and the next day when he phoned to see how we had made out, bernie was very happy to talk to him.
he is from our amitra's country.... india.
his name is daniel.
just a young lad of 25 who is extremely kind and respectful to older people

this is the wooden musical centre.
i thought that the red wood would go good for ruby tuesday.
we decorated it with the canadian flag
actually it is a nice piece of furniture.
daniel is so knowledgeable.
the wooden musical centre company is based in new york.



isn't this so pretty?
bernie was turning this record into a cd.



here is bernie, sitting right proud with the job he had done, making the cd.
we took these wooden musical centre pictures for daniel and we emailed them to him.


i must say that the lord blessed us with a new friend, who we never would have met if the first centre hadn't of been a lemon!
god surely made that lemon into a refreshing jug of lemonade!

have a happy ruby tuesday,
i hope that our beloved teach, mary t. does not faint with surprise that for once i am early and not my usual late on my ruby tuesday post.
that pace maker must be kicking in and giving me more energy.
who knows but by next ruby tuesday, i will be doing cart wheels already..
god bless you...love terry


guess who sells the wooden musical centre......walmart..ha!
