Golden sun and crimson cloud, Waving fields and stirring sea— All arise in praise aloud, Singing to Your majesty. Verse 2 Birds that sing their sacred song, Flowers lifting up their heads, Teach us where we should be strong, Where God’s living glory spreads. Ask the creatures, ask the deer, Ask the smallest beasts to speak; They will whisper truth in fear: ‘All the hand of God we seek.’ Verse 3 From first light to the evening shade, Wonders of Your hand reflect; All the beauty You have made, What the human eye neglected. Teach us by Your wisdom now, Teach us by Your great design, That before Your face we bow, Owning everything as Thin...

🌲 Advent Milk Scroll Blog – Week 1 & 2: HOPE & PEACE🎄 Advent is a season of waiting, longing, and preparing our hearts for Christ’s coming. In Week 1, we began with Hope — the light that breaks into darkness and reminds us that God’s promises never fail. Isaiah declared,   “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light” (Isaiah 9:2).   That light is Christ, and His hope is for every weary soul — young and old alike. This devotion invited both adults and children to pause, reflect, and practice hope in tangible ways. Through Scripture, story, reflection prompts, symbolic activity, and worship, we anchored our faith in the God of hope. Whether you lit a candle each evening, wrote down your hopes in prayer, or explored the kids’ scroll through crafts and storytelling — it was a week of expectancy and joy. 👉Now We Enter Week 2: PEACE! As Advent continues, we turn to Peace — the gentle wind that calms our hearts and restores relationships.   ...

You, the weaver of cosmic dreams, Scatter stars like threads of silver light— Woven into a tapestry vast and eternal.
