Happy Wednesday to you all! I did have this page ready to post last night but I decided to leave it for today instead. I thought the shock of two posts from me in one day might be too much for you! lol This page is actually LATE. It's the first time in almost three years of these challenges that I've had a late page! I know, right? :o) You can read Patter's devotional HERE.
I did things a little bit different with this page. Rather than use the full music sheet on my page, I cut the birdhouse out of it. The bird is also cut out of the music sheet. I've got the chorus of the song on one journaling spot, and a Scripture verse on another. I posted my photo large enough that you can read them. Then I have all the verses of the song written out on a tri-fold tag that slips in behind the birdhouse. I cut a 12" paper down to the 81/2 X 11 that I'm using for this challenge. Then working with the pretty paper, I just added further embellishment with my new cherry blossom die and a leaf punch.
Yes, this is another one of my FAVORITE hymns! It's a beautiful song that reminds us of the never changing faithfulness of our God! Jobs we have, the things we own, the places we live, even the people in our lives; they all come and go. How reassuring it is to know that God is a constant with no "variableness." Another great Scripture verse that this hymn is based on can be found in Lamentations 3:22-23:

for His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."
I find this hymn and these verses very encouraging! I pray you will as well! Have a beautiful day full of JOY! :o)

Below is a photo of the tag hidden behind the birdhouse.
It shows two verses and the third is on the back. It reads:
"Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!"
(I've underlined my favorite part of the song! )

Oh my gosh Nancy, you've outdone yourself on this one. I love, love, love those flowers adn that fabulous birdhouse. All the colours belong together and I can't tell you enough how nice this is.
You've changed your blog... I like this new look. I miss the sunflowers but this is very elegant and pretty. Please don't tell me it's been like this for ages and I never noticed... can't be because it was the first thing I saw today. Doesn't matter.. it's very nice.
Nancy, this is beautiful. The tag hidden looks good. I like the lettering you have used for the title.
Beautiful page! Love how you arranged the colours and flowers
Oh, what a wonderful card and I found myself singing praise to the Lord with the verse you shared...Thanks for joining us this week at Word Art Wednesday. Have a blessed day!

This is such a beautiful page, Nancy...a favorite, I think! I love your pretty florals with the bird house and love the idea of tucking the rest of your lyrics behind it! Wonderful song and a lovely tribute to it!!
Wow oh wow oh wow this is gorgeous! You have created the perfect layout for all the items you've used. It's so pretty Nancy. I still like those blossoms--a LOT, and the little lyric tag tucked in behind the birdie house is lots of fun. Hugs!

I LOVE this page! The white ribbon trim stuff, the bird, the bird house, and the flowers....the flowers are my favorite!
Great hymn as well. I can hear it in my head as faint music from my childhood. Thanks for that memory.
