Resting In The Arms Of Grace

This week I am going to post Yerushalaim Shel Zahav (Jerusalem Of Gold) by Ofra Haza, she says the words in Hebrew so I put the English words on my post! I hope that you like the song!

Mountain air,  clear as wine and the scent of pine.
is carried by the twilight breeze,
along with the sound of bells,
and in the slumber of tree and stone,
captured in her dream,
is the city that sits solitary,
and deep within her, a wall.
Jerusalem of gold
of copper and light
for all your songs
I am a violin
Jerusalem of gold
of copper and light
for all your songs
I am a violin.
How the waters cisterns have dried,
the marketplace is empty
and no one visits the Temple Mount
in the Old City
and in the caves in the rocks the wind howls
and no one goes down to the Dead Sea
Jerusalem of Gold
of copper and light
for all your songs
I am a violin
Jerusalem of gold
of copper and light
for all your songs
I am a violin,
Jerusalem.
Yet as I come today to sing to you,
and to adorn you with crowns
I am now as worthy as you youngest child,
or as the last of the poets,
like a seraph’s kiss
if I forget thee,
Jerusalem, golden in your entirety.
Jerusalem of Gold
of copper and light
for all your songs
I am a violin
Jerusalem of Gold
of copper and light
for all your songs
I am a violin,
violin

We listen to this almost every Shabbat, and when we are baking. We listen to Shabbat Shalom and Ofra Haza Im Nin’Alu

Again I have some more Snapple info! It is here come and look!

“At five feet, the whooping crane is the tallest bird in North America.

Shakespeare invented the words “assassinations” and “bump”.

A group of goats is called a trip.”

Prayers and Blessings as always,

Today we read in the Scriptures Psalm 14-15. It talked about fools and ones that fear Yah. So I wanted to share this verse with you today. What Scriptures did you read today?

Psalm 14

“1 For the leader. By David: Fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.”They deal corruptly, their deeds are vile, not one does what is right. 2 From heaven Yah observes humankind to see if anyone has understanding, if anyone seeks God. 3 But all turn aside, all alike are corrupt; no one does what is right, not a single one. 4 Don’t they ever learn, all those evildoers, who eat up my people as if eating bread and never call on Yah? 5 There they are, utterly terrified; for God is with those who are righteous. 6 You may mock the plans of the poor, but their refuge is Yah. 7 How I wish Isra’el’s salvation would come out of Tziyon! When Yah restores his people’s fortunes, Ya’akov will rejoice, Isra’el will be glad!”

Psalm 15

“1 A psalm of David: Yah, who can rest in your tent? Who can live on your holy mountain? 2 Those who live a blameless life, who behave uprightly, who speak truth from their hearts 3 and keep their tongues from slander; who never do harm to others or seek to discredit neighbors; 4 who look with scorn on the vile, but honor those who fear Yah; who hold to an oath, no matter the cost; 5 who refuse usury when they lend money and refuse a bribe to damage the innocent. Those who do these things never will be moved.”

How was that? Hope your day was a great Shabbat! Let HIM be PRAISED!!!!! Love Him! Have a nice day everyone!

Prayers and Blessings as always,

Hey friends,

Mom, Amanda, Jocelyn and Rachel used to drink Snapple’s when we lived in the States -well, I have only a little bit of some.

The lids have neat little tidbits of info on them. I will tell you some things that they say:

“”If you had a billion dollars and spent 1 thousand dollars a day, it would take you 2,749 years to spend it all.

It takes more water to fill a bathtub than it does to enjoy an average-length shower.

Like fingerprints, everyone’s tongue print is different.”

We used to get these almost every week. We got the Raspberry Tea & Peach Tea. I like the Raspberry the most!! I get a drink from Mom, when she opens hers she gives me a little drink and then tells me to get her a cup of ice! Amanda tells me that too!!

So if you drink Snapple, tell me in a comment thank you!

Prayers and Blessings as always,
