Spiritual Sunday

The soft, sweet summer was warm and glowing,
Bright were the blossoms on every bough;
I trusted him when the roses were blooming;
I trust him now . . . 

Small was my faith should it weakly falter,
Now that the roses have ceased to blow;
Frail was the trust that now should alter,
Doubting his love when storm clouds grow.
                     The Song of a Bird in the Winter Storm
                             from Streams in the Desert

How often we falter during the stormy times in our lives when we should always remember the Lord is with us in good times and bad.

A Beautiful Sunday Morning

 "Though I walk through the valley of darkness, I fear no evil, for you are with me."

                                                Psalm 23

I looked at the window and the sun was peeking through but there was still low fog in the valley off the cliff in my back yard. I went out to see if I could capture the Lord's beauty.

 

 

 

It has been so rainy, dreary, and cold here for the past three weeks. I believe this is actually the first day I have been home and the sun is shining.

Good Morning everyone! 


I am linking with Charlotte and Ginger for Spiritual Sunday. 

The following is a passage taken from Streams in the Desert by L.B. Cowman:


"I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessings."

                                               Ezekiel 34:26

What is your season today? Are you experiencing a season of drought? If so, then it is the season for showers. Are you going through a season of heaviness with dark clouds? Then that too is the season for showers. "Your strength will be equal to your days." (Deut. 33:25) "I will send . . . showers of blessing." 

God will send all kinds of blessings. And all his blessings go together like links in a golden chain. If He gives you saving grace, He will also give you comforting grace. God will send "showers of blessings." Look up today, you who are withered plants. Open your leaves and flowers and receive God's heavenly watering.

                       Charles H. Spurgeon       

 

Have a great day!


Take care and God Bless.

We Three Kings . . .

Today I am participating in Spiritual Sunday hosted by Charlotte and Ginger @ Spiritual Sundays. 

Today we celebrate the Epiphany or the feast of The Three Kings. The following is the story from Matthew 2:1-12:

Then Herod called the magi secretly
and ascertained from them the time of the star’s appearance.
He sent them to Bethlehem and said,
“Go and search diligently for the child.
When you have found him, bring me word,
that I too may go and do him homage.”
After their audience with the king they set out.
And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them,
until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.
They were overjoyed at seeing the star,
and on entering the house
they saw the child with Mary his mother.
They prostrated themselves and did him homage.
Then they opened their treasures
and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way. 

We too need to pay homage to our Lord and Savior as we bring, not gifts, but ourselves before him.

This signifies the end of Christmas and decorations need to come down. I can't decide if I am feeling remorse or just procrastinating.


Take Care and God Bless.
