We Are Remembering

Gallery 1 Comment

We have been remembering today. And not just here in America; other Nations have remembered and paid tribute as well. I thank them!

Memorials are good. Tangible places we can go; objects we can hold in our hands and remember. Remembering can be good, very good.

Let us not forget.

The Maker of Heaven and Earth.
Let us not forget. Let us not forsake.

Memorials are appropriate in remembering Him too. Ask Him for a few for you and yours.

Numbers 15:38-40 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
38 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout their generations they are to make tassels  for the corners of their garments, and put a blue cord on the tassel at [each] corner.
39 These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the LORD’s commands and obey them and not become unfaithful by following your own heart and your own eyes.
40 This way you will remember and obey all My commands and be holy to your God. via Numbers 15:38-40 HCSB – Speak to the Israelites and tell them – Bible Gateway.

And this. Lest we forget and lest they, the children, not know! Hear, O Church! Hear!

Deuteronomy 6:
4 “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!
5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
6 These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.
7 You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.
8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead.
9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. via Deuteronomy 6 NASB – Obey God and Prosper Now this is the – Bible Gateway.

I hope you all are continuing to pray for Lily and her family. I received word today that her surgeons have replaced her skull and she is ready to go to Birmingham for therapy. This is good news but no time to let up on our praying.

Dori was in Sunday School and worship this morning!! Praise JESUS!!

Thank You, ABBA. Thank You for memorials. Help us remember and in all our remembering help us remember You First in JESUS name and for His sake and the sake of the children. Amen and amen.

A Quick Hello

Ahh

So good to be home!

Jerry has cashed in on some much need sleep since getting home from the hospital this afternoon. We have received delightful phone calls, I’ve handled a few loads of laundry, and have eaten too many cookies and wonderfully moist banana bread; and now I am about spent but wanted to say hello and wish you a blessed weekend and thank you for your love and prayers.

I’ll plan to check in with you again soon and in the mean time

Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)  Hebrews 12
1 Therefore since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses  surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us, and run with endurance  the race that lies before us,
2 keeping our eyes on Jesus,  the source and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that lay before Him endured a cross and despised the shame,  and has sat down at the right hand of God’s throne.
3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you won’t grow weary and lose heart. via Hebrews 12:1-3 HCSB – The Call to Endurance Therefore since – Bible Gateway.

A Red Jacket

Gallery Leave a comment

Juicing done, a cup of coffee, my beloved and Guidepost — want to come along? Good. Here’s today’s reading.

“To counteract the rainy, gloomy afternoon,I put on my red blazer to meet an architect friend, Jeff Wierenga, for lunch. As we sat near a window at the mall entrance, I watched damp shoppers scurrying in. “What awful weather, ” I said.

Jeff, who is an award-winning photographer, replied, “When I was traveling, I used to be disappointed when I reached a great spot to take pictures and the weather was bad. Then one day I saw a photographer in England standing in the pouring rain without an umbrella.

“I had to ask him why he was shooting in such a downpour.  He said, ‘Look at the shine on those slate roofs. It will make beautiful photos–the kind visitors to England want to buy.’

“After that,” Jeff told me, “I didn’t complain again about bad weather on my trips, because I found I could get really good photos on rainy days. Sometimes they were better than the ones I took when the sun was so bright it washed everything out.”

“What does the camera capture that we don’t ordinarily see?” I asked.

“In the rain,” he explained, “colors are more saturated. The best time to photograph brilliant fall foliage is on an overcast day because the colors stand out so much better. I’ve found that flowers are better to photograph on a rainy day. You just have to turn your lens wide open.”

I looked  over the shoppers emerging from the mall into the grayness, and I was suddenly startled to see what Jeff meant. The little girl wearing the bright orange sweatshirt seemed to glow like a torch; the lady carrying the yellow, red, green, and blue umbrella looked like a walking carousel. The gloomy landscape was a neutral canvas that made colors come alive.

I looked down at the red jacket I was wearing. Funny, I had put it on in an attempt to brighten up a gloomy day. Now I saw that it was really the gloominess of the day that had brightened my jacket.

*Father, open wide the lens of my spirit  to see the beauty brought by the rain.  — Karen Barber “

I get it!!  Any body for a red jacket today?
