He giveth power to the faint... Who are ready to faint under afflictions, because they have not immediate deliverance, or their prayers are not answered at once, or promises not fulfilled as they expected, to such he gives fresh supplies of spitritual strength, he sterngthens their faith and enlarges their views, to behold the goodness of the Lord in the land ot the living, and confirms his blessings and promises of grace unto them.
For my page today, I used a photo of my grandfather (my mother's father), and a bunch of his friends. This photo was taken in Mississippi in the 1920's or 30's. Those of you that are familiar with US history during this time period know what challenges these men faced. I know the Lord must have given them power and strengthened their faith in order for them to have endured their life trials.

What a treasure to have this photo. You showcased it perfectly and the verse goes so well with the time period. Great LO.
ReplyDeleteSuch a touching and beautiful card, Gemiel. I am from the south and am painfully aware of the hardships and cruelty these strong men endured. This is a lovely tribute to your grandfather and his pals.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tribute you have created here to honour your grandfather. The page is perfect for the period, and the scripture is so appropriate.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and page! I love the subtle vintage cars in the background too. The verse seems very appropriate for the theme with your grandfather and his friends. I almost did a page this week--almost. :) Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very powerful verse and scrapbook layout you've created, Gemiel. What a marvelous memorial to the strength of your grandfather and his friends. Blessings!
