I'm guessing my eyes weren't the only ones brimming full.
This, the freedom, the experience, the wonder of worshiping an awesome God surrounded by His people. A bit of a foretaste of heaven where we'll someday gather 'round the throne, casting any crowns we might have received to the side to focus completely on our Lord and Savior.

And oh the horses, Andrew! Makes me want to saddle up ...
DeleteI hope this morning finds you at peace, friend. Praying for you even as I tap away here on the east coast.
Bless you ...
Absolutely LOVE Chris Tomlin! We used to play many of his songs when we led the praise band at church. He is definitely one of the most talented singer/songwriters of our day. Blessings, Linda, and thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMartha, yes! As I combed through the lengthy list of his songs, I was astonished at all he has accomplished along the way. The church will be blessed for generations to come.
DeletePraise God!
I'm so glad you had such a soul-refreshing experience, Linda. :) And that song... It really touched my heart. Yes, nobody loves us like Jesus! Love and hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, Trudy. I've been learning that as we begin to grasp the depth of His love for us and rest in its bounty, our need for endless affirmation and strokes start to fade.
DeleteI'm so grateful ...
Can't help but love Chris Tomlin's music! So good and so worshipful! Thanks for sharing this song and this giveaway, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI love doing the giveaways, Lisa!
Delete;-}
Meanwhile I hope you're surviving 31 Days, my friend ...
Good, Good Father is one of my favorites. I even had a homemade wooden plaque given to me as a gift from our worship leaders. Sign me up and guarantee me to win! LOL BTW: give it away? I highly doubt it unless I give it to our worship leaders.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've got a terrific relationship with your leaders. I love that, Bill ...
DeleteYou are always full of fun surprises! Yes to gathering around The Throne--WHAT A DAY~WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY THAT WILL BE!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, My Friend!
Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
DeleteGrew up loving Chris Tomlin - I wanted to be just like him. I think that's why his older music is still my favorite, but I'm looking forward to Holy Roar.
ReplyDeleteWow, Nathan, what a role model you selected along the way!
DeleteGlad you're on board here for this giveaway. Welcome!
Chris Tomlin's music has been such a gift to all of us. Thank you for the opportunity to win this one as I have been hearing wonderful things about it!
ReplyDeleteYes, a beautiful gift indeed, Joanne!
DeleteWhenever I've been to see Chris Tomlin it feels like I'm at a church service! He's created a lot of music that worship bands will be playing for a long time, I think!
ReplyDeleteHow blessed you've been to have heard him in person, Lynn!
DeleteLinda, how fun . . . giveaways! :) Chris Tomlin's music has a way of leading me into such a sweet place of worship. I've not yet seen him in concert, but I have seen a DVD of him with Louie Giglio talking about the universe and just how BIG God is. Amazing. Please enter me. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the giveaways, too, Jeanne! Consider yourself entered, friend ...
DeleteIt's always a blessing to enter that space of worship where everything else fails, and only God remains. Thanks for sharing Linda. Blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said, Boma. 'Only God remains ...'
DeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteI love the song "Good, Good Father". When it is sung in unison with a large group you can just feel God's Holy presence there. Praise that He is so far above any earthly father. We can't even begin to fathom His goodness. That song - even thinking about it - brings tears to my eyes. He tells us to call Him Abba, Daddy. What an invitation to intimacy. Going to click on the video to start my day. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Blessings friend,
Bev xx
You're so right, Bev ... this is a song that touches a deep part of our soul, the yearning for 'daddy love.' The sacred kind that no earthly father can fill.
DeleteYes.
I <3 Good Good Father.
ReplyDeleteMe, too ...
DeleteChris Tomlin's music was part of my grief journey in the weeks and months after my brother died. Always his music has a place in my heart.
ReplyDeleteAgain, I am finding music to be a way God speaks to me in the hard times of growth to a new place. thanks Linda
Grieving and music go together like a hand in a glove, don't they, Carol. And once we grieve to a song, it will always be linked to our tears...
DeleteWell, I missed the giveaway deadline for the CD, but I am thrilled that Jeanne won it. I do love Chris Tomlin so I will need to check out the album.
ReplyDeleteYou're sweet ...
Delete;-)
Linda,
ReplyDeleteOur Internet was down; I'm happy it is back. I love that song by Chris Tomlin as it reminds me to sink deeper into God's love and to not expect that from anyone else. Praying you are feeling rested and that sounds like an awesome concert :-) Love and blessings to you :-)
This you said and I love, Dolly -> 'it reminds me to sink deeper into God's love and to not expect that from anyone else.'
DeleteWow, how healthy our relationships would be if we weren't looking to others to give us what only Christ can ...
Aww, man, I missed out on this one, Linda! But I'm so happy for Jeanne! I'm sure God will bless her every time she plays that CD. I do love Chris Tomlin and his music--with "Good, Good Father" being among my favorite worship songs of all. Thanks for being so generous and inspiring, dear friend! I hope and pray you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteKeep your eyes peeled for a bunch of giveaways in November, friend! I can't wait!
