WALKING BY FAITH I KEEP CLIMBING

BLESSINGS IN MY LIFE In 2009 I decided to go out on January 12 about 11 in the morning to feed the birds.   You can see the bird feeder here in this photo.  It is a post with a platform on it, and I usually, in good weather, would simply reach up with a gadget someone made for me to put seed up on that platform.  It was a pcp pipe with a little 3 cup plastic container on it.   So it usually was no problem. That morning I remember, Henry had said, "let me feed the birds, June.  It is a bit icy." In that morning as I washed the dishes from my kitchen sink, I could see the blue sky above.  The day beckoned to me.   And, to my regret, I did not listen to what Henry said.  I went outside with seed for the birds in that little gadget, and I was ready to go.  Hmmm. There was snow on the grass.  I could see green grass showing.  It was just about 58 degrees outside so nothing was melting.   I should have known bett...

JESUS CHRIST - THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER   Hebrews 13.8            My decision to produce a BLOG that promotes the knowledge of life and Salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ is from the conviction that He is coming to take the Church home to His Father's House soon - and that when He does that, there will be Seven years of "Jacob's Trouble" or what is called the "Tribulation"... There will be hard times in which you will need to know what God's Word says about it.             The Gospel never changes.   From cover to cover, the Bible speaks and tells us what God did in times past, and is doing now.   From cover to cover, the Bible is the ONLY source that truly is able to give us light in this dark world.           THERE IS ONLY A SHORT TIME  AFTER HE TAKES THE BRIDE - THE CHURCH TO HIMSELF -  THERE WILL BE SEVEN YEARS OF DEEP TROUBLE IT IS CALLED...

BY FAITH I WALK CLIMBING HIGHER BY HIS STRENGTH Roses always give the fragrance as well as beauty. I wish to give the fragrance of God's grace in my life to you, even as the Joseph's Coat rose gives varied colors in each flower, as each post is made, I would like to give you something of what I have learned and am learning.  May you find that indeed, just as Jesus told the disciples in the book of Luke, chapter 24, verses 44 - 49 that "These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.   Then, opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scripture.  And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.  And ye a...

BLANKETING THE EARTH FLOWERS  IN MY SOUL SPRINKLE SEEDS  BRISKLY  PLANTING THEM  INTO THE MEMORIES OF MY SOUL. PRECIOUS ARE THE SEEDS THAT HAVE  IN MY SOUL BEEN PLANTED  OVER THE YEARS  IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO WERE EAGER TO RECEIVE THE MESSAGE  OF GOD'S WORD. SPRINGTIME IS A LOVELY TIME  IT REMINDS US ANEW  OF GOD'S GOODNESS AND FAITHFULNESS. IT TEACHES US THAT  AFTER HARD WINTERS  COME THE SPRING. MAY HIS LOVE  SEEP INTO YOUR SOUL THROUGH THE SEEDS OF GOD'S WORD AND MAY  YOU TOO  FIND COMFORT IN KNOWING GOD WILL  PRODUCE FRUIT FROM THESE SEEDS. ALL THE SEEDS NEEDED  WAS SOMEONE TO PLANT THEM IN THE SOIL. GOD DOES THE REST.    Mark Chapter 4. 1 -20.

BLOOMS IN THE SPRING  With Spring green sprouts start to push up above the soil, to take in the  lovely sunshine, and soak up the refreshing rains.  Bit by bit,  and little by little, these sprouts become as beautiful as this picture of Bearded Iris. How I used to love my Iris.   Yet all I did was put them in the ground, and  God did the rest.   He sent the rain. He faithfully gave the sunshine. Great  is thy faithfulness, There is a song I love that says it this way:  - The chorus is.... O God My Father, Morning by morning new mercies I see, All I have needed Thy hand hath provided, Great is thy faithfulness,  Lord unto me.    Great is Thy faithfulness,  O God, my Father,  There is no shadow of turning with Thee;  Thou changest not; Thy compassions, they fail not; As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be. Summer and Winter  Springtime and Harvest, S...

SPRING IS ALMOST HERE !  HAVE YOU NOTICED THE BIRDS CALLING OUT ?  WHEN THE TIDE COMES IN AND THE TIDE GOES OUT THERE IS MUCH FOR THEM TO FIND FOR FOOD. WALKING BY ONE STORE - NEXT TO IT WAS AN EMPTY LOT  WITH MUCH WATER IN IT.   IT WAS A TEMPORARY  "WETLAND"  TWO MALLARD DUCKS WERE ENJOYING THIS LITTLE BIT OF  POND THEY HAD FOUND.   TAKING THEIR TIME, THEY SILENTLY FLOATED ON THE "WETLAND"... Time has a way of eroding the beaches, and changing the landscape.   This photo was taken of a beach where the fine cottage people used to live in is now quite old, and left without anyone in it.     In the same way,  our circumstances change.   We can never go back to "what we were" or to "what used to be"....                      GOD NEVER CHANGES.     Things may change, people may change, but GOD never CHANGES.     ...
