Nothing in my hand I bring. . . simply to Thy cross I cling.
Dirty Hands
In my lap, still and silent
Dirty hands, a sinner's grasp;
Will I leave them there, defying,
As you call me to my task?
At my side, busy, flying,
Able hands used for good work;
In my mind, pride overtaking,
Duties now I never shirk.
Lips do tremble, eyes are opened,
Glancing at my sin-marred hands;
Much like Uzzah's fatal choice,
Did I forget the filth of man?
Glancing up I see before me
Blood-stained hands, a sinless Ram.
Open arms, He welcomes, calling,
"Come rest in me, my little lamb."
On the plow now, tightly holding,
Tear-stained hands my tasks employ.
Jesus at my side does guide me;
Tears of sorrow turned to tears of joy.
In my lap, still and silent,
Dirty hands, a sinner's clasp:
Folded praying, day's task done.
'Tis God's work in me lights my path.

it looks like they had hamburgers for their wedding meal...?
and by first kiss, was it the FIRST kiss? are they an example of a courting couple? lovely photos!
beautiful job with the cake! it looks so professional! can i recruit you to do mine and ben's whenever that day comes? =P
Nice pictures! I think those must be the prettiest bride's maid dresses I've ever seen. Your hair was lovely too.
Actually, we had barbequed chicken on buns, and it was so good! And yes, it was their very first kiss.
I would appreciate no anonymous comments, please. I allow anonymous log-ins so anyone can comment, but I'd really like a first name or alias signed, please :).
I think I might be persuaded to make your cake, Stephanie :). As long as it isn't too complicated a design, and I'm not also in charge of food for your reception. *winks knowingly to Ashley* So yes, you can pencil me in!
As a matter of fact, if it happens within the next 6 months, I have a check for $30 for you, that I'll include as part of my gift (before it expires); one of my tutoring students made out a check to Stephanie Garrison yesterday by mistake ;). We had a good laugh.
I loved the dresses too, Mrs. B! Lydia had good taste in color and pattern choice. We had such a headache of a time looking for ready-made gowns over Christmas break, that we gave in to making them. It was an easy pattern also, so it wasn't much of a problem. We ended up using the backside of the fabric, believe it or not. The front side was overly shiny and flashy, so we sewed them inside-out :).
I sowy, Boy :(.
I know what you mean about the anonymous comments, Susan. When I first started my blog I had it set on not allowing them but then a couple of people weren't signed up with blogger so I went ahead and switched it with the same stipulation that you set.
