December 2016 – Wint68's Blog: "Topic: HOPE OF HEAVEN.

I sit here getting older every minute, watching the seconds tick bye. I think about the hopes and dreams I have had over the passing years, some happy and some with tears. My hope now is the HOPE OF HEAVEN. Let’s open our Bibles to the following verses and observe what they say.

*Job.19: 25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. { I shall see God }.

*Psalm 73: 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. { I shall see the GLORY OF HEAVEN and ENJOY THE PRESENCE OF GOD FOREVER! }

*John 15: I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 

*1 Cor.4:10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. { OUR STRENGTH IS IN CHRIST AND OUR WISDOM IS IN CHRIST }

*1 Thess.4: 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. { ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN CHRIST WILL BE IN HEAVEN!  }

*Rev.21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.  { SIN WILL NOT BE IN HEAVEN: IT WILL BE A PERFECT PLACE FOR ALL WHOSE NAME IS WRITTEN IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE>}

*Rev.22: And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. [verse 17]  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Christmas Quotes!

Christmas is a time when you get homesick — even when you're home. ~Carol Nelson


He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree. ~Roy L. Smith

Monday, December 12, 2016

Great Quote!

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. ~ Winston Churchill

CHRISTMAS THOUGHT!

Christmas is to be a time of gladness, but when I think of loved ones passed, Christmas can be a time of sadness. ~ Winston Staples

CHRISTMAS QUOTE!

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, became a child again at Christmas-time. ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

SPECIAL MEMORIES!

I gaze out my window,
up the old country road,
where I have walked,
yes, walked many a mile,
and all my life have growed.
I remember,
the Christmases of youth,
where we enjoyed,
the presents we got,
the family fellowship,
eating turkey, pies and candy,
and that is the truth.
Early Christmas morning,
we would grab our skates,
new pucks and hockey sticks,
rush to Jake's house,
silently enter quiet as a mouse.
We would all go to the ice pond,
many men would gather there,
we played until noon,
and many stayed hours beyond.
We  chased that old puck,
enjoying the game,
having so much fun,
all glad they had come.
Everlasting memories,
run quickly through my grey head,
I wish I could be,
playing hockey on that ice pond instead.
~ Winston Staples

Christmas Thoughts | 70pluswint: "The weather is warm today,

rain drops are falling down,

and the low lying fog,

slowly melts the snow from the ground.

In my heart,

I long for the snow to stay,

it is more like Christmas,

with snow on the ground,

as we watch the children,

children of all ages play.

It is the Christmas season,

joy is seen more,

this season of time,

as the Christmas tree gleem,

and the Christmas bells chime.

So let us keep,

the Christmas message,

message of love, peace and goodwill,

good will to all men,

and may the Christmas message never end."

December 2016 – Wint68's Blog: "Topic of today’s blog is patient in life.

We don’t seem to be creatures that want to wait upon anyone [ including God ] for things in our life; we want our way and we want it now. We are impatient people! Now let us open the pages of God’s word at look at the following verses:

I am reading from the [King James Version.]

Psalms 37:7 [Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him:] fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Isaiah 33: Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. 2 O Lord, be gracious unto us; [we have waited for thee]: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;12 Rejoicing in hope; [patient in tribulation]; continuing instant in prayer;13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

2 Thess.1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God [for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:]

Hebrews 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy."

EXPLORING GOD'S WORD [34]

Topic: Pursue Peace.
Mankind in general are looking for peace, many in all the wrong places. We  are to pursue peace as the followers of Christ. Today we are looking at a few verses from God’s word instructing us about pursuing peace.
Psalms 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. [KJV]
Matthew 5:Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Mark 9:50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
[ I trust you will enjoy  these verses about peace and may you find true peace as you pursue it.] [ prepared by Winston Staples ]

EXPLORING GOD’S WORD [9] – Wint68's Blog

EXPLORING GOD’S WORD [9] – Wint68's Blog: "The topic we are looking at in God’s word is PAUL’S SUFFERING.

Get your Bible and as we read mark the words that speak to you.

Acts 14:19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. [Paul suffered greatly as each stone struck his body and when they thought he was dead they threw him in the garbage dump.]

Acts 16:22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. [ beaten because of his belief and message.]

2 Cor.11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? [ terrible perils Paul suffered for preaching the GOSPEL.]

2 Cor.12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

Galatians 4:13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.

14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus."

EXPLORING GOD’S WORD [4] – Wint68's Blog: "EXPLORING GOD’S WORD [4]
Standard
      1 VOTE
The topic we are going to briefly explore is God’s discipline by reading these few verses

as recorded in the Bible.

UNDERLINE THE WORDS OR PHRASES THAT SPEAK TO YOU IN YOUR BIBLE!

Job 5: 17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

Psalms 39: 10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.12 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

Psalms 94: 11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

Proverbs 3: 11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction: 12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. [ GOD LOVES THOSE HE CORRECTS ]

Wishing you many blessings my friends!

EXPLORING GOD’S WORD [2] – Wint68's Blog

EXPLORING GOD’S WORD [2] – Wint68's Blog: "In this writing we will explore what God’s word states about encouraging others.

As followers of Christ we should be an encouragement to others.
Ezra 5:1-2New International Version (NIV)

Tattenai’s Letter to Darius
5 Now Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the prophet, a descendant of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them. 2 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jozadak set to work to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, supporting them.
Acts 11:22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
Acts 14:20 But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
The Return to Antioch in Syria
21 They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders[a] for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust.
1 Cor.14:3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.
1 Thess. 5:9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."

UNDERSTANDING! – Wint68's Blog

UNDERSTANDING! – Wint68's Blog: "Understanding —-  knowing things in their right relationship.

God’s relationship to understanding:

Gift— 1 Kings 3: 9-12
Revelation — Romans 1: 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
By His word —Psalms 119: 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. [ Also see verse 130 ]
Books —Daniel 9: 2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. [ 23 ] 23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
Holy Spirit —Exodus 31: 3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
Christ –— 1 John 5: 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Faith –— Hebrews 11: 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

As I was sitting with my eyes closed, my mind wandered back to the cool fall evening in 1958. On that night in a little Baptist church I was convicted by the Holy Spirit that I was lost in sin and needed a Savior. The message that night was if you were to die tonight where would you spend Eternity. I went home and could not sleep, went back to that little Baptist Church the following night waiting for the invitation and walked up the aisle being a new creature by saying yes to Jesus as He called.

JOY![ WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS][3] – Wint68's Blog

JOY![ WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS][3] – Wint68's Blog: "Joy is seen in the following:

Victory produces joy— 1 Samuel 18:6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.

Joy was seen in Christ’s birth— Luke 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Joy is seen in the resurrection of Christ— Matthew 28: 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

Joy is seen when a sinner finds salvation in Christ— Luke 15:5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Winston Sr Staples: "Now this is love!
Ephesians 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
1 John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."

Psalms 23 KJV - The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not - Bible Gateway: "Psalm 23King James Version (KJV)

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."

He will guide you through,
soon the sun will appear,
because, God's SON is holding you.

THIS OLD PEN


THIS OLD PEN
This old pen,
has penned many words,
words to encourage,
words to cheer,
words to sing,
words that are dear.
This old pen,
has penned about trees,
about the clouds,
and the sounds,
of the birds and bees.
This old pen,
has penned about God,
about Jesus His Son,
about His gift of salvation,
I pray it for everyone.
Yes, this old pen,
has penned many words,
some over and over again,
like, red, white, and blue,
and, I love, I forget,
and I forgive you.

November 2010 – Wint68's Blog

November 2010 – Wint68's Blog: "Setting Sail: Life is like a voyage, sailing across the sea, setting our sails, to find breezes to set us free. as we set sail, we find the sailing may be rough, the waves roaring high, visibility mighty tough. We discover it is so hard, to be captain of our ship, when we have an enemy, seeking to make us slip. When our lives, like the ships, face tempest and despair, we need to seek a harbor, and find shelter there. In this voyage, we have a choice, who will captain our ship, Jesus, who wants to save us; Satan who wants us scuttle our ship. So dear soul, who will your captain be; Satan who keeps you in bondage, or Jesus who will set you free?"

Think of the beauty that again and again discharges itself within and without you and be happy.” Anne Frank"

THIS OLD STREAM

Leaning over the railing, on an old bridge, watching the water rushing bye, remembering, the days gone bye, when I fished with the fly. The water rushes in some places, in other places it lies quiet and lies so still. Some places it makes waterfalls as it flows over hills. Our lives, are like this old stream; we have our times of calm and peace, while other times troubles, rush in like the water falling over the hills, but, if we have an anchor for our soul; we will have rest and peace, given by our Master. He is in control! ~ Winston Staples

Philippians 4:6-9 NKJV - Be anxious for nothing, but in - Bible Gateway

Philippians 4:6-9 NKJV - Be anxious for nothing, but in - Bible Gateway: "Philippians 4:6-9New King James Version (NKJV)

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Meditate on These Things
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you."

TO SLEEP! | Wint68's Blog

TO SLEEP! | Wint68's Blog: "Now I lay down to sleep,

Listening to hymns,

Soothing and sweet.

Now I lay down to sleep,

Trusting God my soul to keep;

Now I lay down to sleep,

Thinking of Jesus’s love so deep.

Now I lay down to sleep

Thanking Him for today

And protection in the night,

In Him all things complete.

Now I lay down to sleep,

Meditating on His word,

A refuge from the devil,

As into my life,

he tries to creep;

Now I lay down to sleep,

Talking to Jesus,

And not counting sheep."

WATCHING

O, what a beautiful sunrise,
golden streaks,
woven through the clouds,
what a great sight,
flashing before my eyes.

The Old Birch Tree

There is an old birch tree,
that, when I look out my window,
I can clearly see,
it has many small trees,
gathered all around,
where many song birds,
can be found.
Chickadees sing their song,
and the Robins sing,
cheer up, cheer up to me.
Off to my right,
fifty feet or so,
high in a Pine ,
sits a black crow;
just over the knoll,
looking out the road,
leading to out back,
is a new trail,
of fresh deer tracks.
God has given,
to us many blessings,
ears to hear,
eyes to see,
hands to touch,
and mouths to speak,
speak thanks and praise!

Fluffy Clouds

Fluffy clouds floating bye,
so far, so far,
up in the baby blue sky.
Fluffy clouds floating bye,
so fluffy, so white,
as the birds fly high.
Fluffy white clouds,
clouds floating bye,
their beautiful formations,
makes my heart sing,
and makes my soul sigh.
God of the Universe,
Creator of all things,
all Praise and all Glory to you,
Lord of Lords,
and King of Kings.

Just Thinking!




Dear soul, there is only one way to Heaven; His name is Jesus! When the time comes to pass through 

death's door, if you depend on anything or anyone but Jesus, you will not get there, you will fall way 

short.

Sharing!

I came across this old hymn,
titled " Jesus thy Boundless Love for Me"
and I am sharing this one verse,
that reads like this:
" In suffering,
be thy love, my peace;
in weakness,
be thy love my power;
and when the storms
of life shall cease,
Jesus, in the important hour,
in death as life
be thou my guide,
and save me,
who for me hast died."

Hello world! | Wint68's Blog

Hello world! | Wint68's Blog: "Creations Beauty

Sitting looking out my window pane, everything’s so beautiful and green, being washed and refreshed by the falling rain. A woodpecker is tapping on a dead pine, tap, tap, tap, what a hammering sound; a chipmunk, carrying a piece of bread, scurries across the ground. Yes, as I look out, all nature is alive! Leaves so green, flowers so pretty in blossom everywhere; tells me we have a creator, who really cares. He not only cares for our physical being, and because of His love, He wants our soul to be free, and all His spiritual blessings seeing. Yes, He wants to set us free, from our bondage of sin; He sent Jesus, His only Son, and by His sacrifice, complete victory could be won.

GOD GIVES!

God gives us love;
God gives mercy,
and He gives grace.
He sent Jesus,
His salvation,
so we could,
have real joy,
real peace,
and tell,
the world about,
His amazing grace.

THE GROVE!







Looking at a grove,
grove of white birch,
on these trees,
many birds have perched.
Robins, sparrows and crows,
on and on the list goes;
everyday they come,
everyday they go,
so many birds,
like the cooing dove,
and the cawing crow.

A NEW MORNING!

I awoke,
the rain has stopped,
and the sun peaks,
through the passing clouds;
the snow is almost gone,
off the old shop roof.
I am longing,
now for spring,
to hear the robin sing,
cheer-up, cheer-up,
nature awakens,
with the sounds of spring!

The Only Real Peace

Sweet, Sweet Spirit

Just Thinking!

The sun is setting in the West,
the wind is blowing,
out of the very cold North,
as the white birch,
sway back and forth.
What a beautiful sight,
the western skies,
the silhouettes of swaying trees,
as the sun says it goodbyes.

God's creation is everlasting,
stretching from eternity to eternity.
God's love is everlasting,
and He loves His children,
from eternity to eternity!

Salmon Run

Years back,
 when I was young,
how I liked to fish,
and watch for the salmon run.
To wade the water,
feel it's force,
against my feet,
hoping for a catch,
a great prize,
a great fish to eat.
To see that great fish,
make it's runs,
it was so much fun,
it was so neat.

The Swamp

The Swamp

There is an old bog,
where I used to walk bye,
on warm sunny days,
with a baby blue sky.
The red winged black birds
were singing, the frogs
were crooking everywhere.
In that old swamp or bog,
there are many floating logs,
on which the birds perch,
while on the shore,
the beaver cut birch.
As I walked, I talked,
thanking God for such,
such a beautiful day.

EVENING FLIGHT

The eagle soars high,
in the evening sky,
looking for super,
with it's keen eyes.
The eagle,
moves it's mighty wings,
to climb,
a little higher,
so it can glide,
for many miles,
down the valley,
so it will not tire.

GAZING!

Gazing out my window,

I see,


the sun trying to hide

below the western hills

and the out stretched limbs 


of the many hardwoods.



God gives our eyes,


to behold,



such sights are worth,



more than silver,


and more than gold.

Dark Shadows!

 When my brother and I were young, We were blessed with a great older brother, And a loving mom and dad; We would get home from school, And ...
