Building A House

Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain to build it Psalm 127:1

As many of you know, dear hubby and I have been searching for a home to buy after living here for a year now. It has been an interesting time for us, a time in which I have daily prayed for this new nest and waited anxiously for it happening. We are all in tough economic times and many are facing the greatest challenges of their lives so I know our dilemma is very small in comparison and yet it does impact our thoughts. It would seem at this point that the Lord would have us to stay put for a bit longer and I will yet praise Him more and more knowing He has our best interest at heart. We are blessed to live across the street from our oldest daughter and her family and also within a 3 mile radius of our youngest and her family; life is good with God in control.
On Sunday at church one our my favorite worship songs was led and I sang with such a sweet reassurance from His Spirit
as to our future, so I want to leave these lyrics with you.


Better Is One Day


How lovely is
Your dwelling place
Oh Lord Almighty
For my soul longs
And even faints
For You
Oh, here my heart
Is satisfied
Within Your presence
I sing beneath
The shadow of
Your wings
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
Than thousands elsewhere
One thing I ask
And I would seek
To see Your beauty
To find You in
The place Your glory dwells
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
My heart and flesh cry out
For You, the Living God
Your Spirit's water for my soul
I've tasted, and I've seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to You
I will draw near to You
To You
Better is one day
Better is one day
Better is one day
Than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

  2. That is one of my favorite songs. We see the small picture, God sees the big picture. He has the perfect place for you in His perfect timing. Hugs..

  3. Psalm 127:1 is a favorite verse of mine and one I try to incorporate into events of everyday life. That song expresses the meaning so well!
