From the Deck

I planted myself on the deck today for some devoted time — much later than my usual,  I won’t bore you with my sourdough bread story that kept me up late. 
I went out to the deck. It is not a fancy view, but the greens in all their majestic display made my whole soul breathe deep and smile. 

And I said, Father, what must Your Home be like?! I am imagining He said, ‘ It’s your Home too. ‘ There are some passages of Scripture to support my imagination.  I’ll get to those in a bit. 

This planet is on course for destruction as we know it, and has been since the sin of man marred it. These thoughts were full of sorrow, but then came the glorious truth! 

Man has indeed marred this earth. Man mars everything he touches, and will continue to do so for as long as man remains under the dominion of satan.  BUT!

The glorious truth! When we who have been born again get to Heaven, we will not mar the place! We will not lessen its value! We will not deplete it! We will bring no harm of any kind or degree to that Perfect Place! Father GOD has and is continuing to build us so we can live there without sin, without doing any damage whatsoever to that beautiful place.
The Place of Perfect Loveliness that exceeds the beauty here by eternity!  
You do agree that this creation here is beautiful, right? Then, Heaven can only far exceed our best imaginations! 

I am glad I came to the deck today! It’s beautiful out here, but HOME—well, we will see just how lovely it is one day soon.  A day that will not end. 

We hope you enjoy the pictures.

Bucket Tree

It’s the Saturday before the 25th, that day in December when the world celebrates the Savior. 

But I did not come here today to bemoan or applaud the day, just to hopefully catch your attention and say hello.  You know, since I’m not usually here at the screen on the weekends. 

I took this picture this morning. It speaks to me. I can remember just a few short seasons ago, this Bradford Pear was sitting in a bucket waiting for room to grow. 
I am mindful that with time and nutrition, almost all things grow. I believe that. Do you?  

Time is time. We all have some allotted time, and we all have access to the greatest of nutrition, don’t we? 
Scripture, of course!
How’s your appetite?
Growing like a bucket tree set free? 

Happy Saturday, late afternoon Saturday! 

Holy hugs, Kathie 

The Ride

Image from You Version

The last enemy will be destroyed. 
And that last enemy is what? 
Death.
Scripture convinces us that there are certain things that must come before this last enemy is destroyed.  It is for us to trust our LORD, walk obediently, and not fear the Ride until then. 

Holy hugs, Kathie 

I came across this little guy today, and he is so cute, I just have to show you.
