Thankful Thursdays 2-18-16

It’s  5 A.M. here. Pastor Wrinkles is just blinking his weary eyes open, but the Son is beckoning “Hurry! Get your coffee and come and praise me!”

It is time to dress in the garments of praise and face this day folks. Join me in worshiping the Savior of the World one more time!

 

Grace might not always give us what we want but it always provides what we need.

Share your song of grace in the comments section below.

My Daily Walk 2-17-16

With the temperature plunging to -17 with a wind chill of -39,  I missed all my daily walks this weekend. I did spend a little time stretching though.

I really thought I would be back at it yesterday but the rains came in like a flood. The creek behind the house overflowed its banks and the entire neighborhood was one big puddle.image

So today in spite of a very busy schedule I insisted on stopping between appointments for a walk. I had to meet my accountant in Keene NH. Then on the way back home I stopped in the little town of Troy to walk the common.

A Lover’s Heart: SKWWP#24

It’ s time for SKWWP#24 (The Secret Keeper’s Weekly Writing Prompt #24). You can find all the submissions to this challenge by clicking the underlined link. My bit is below and it is entitled:

A Lover’s Heart

By Je Lillie

Walk another mile

With me old friend. Your promise

To take the long view

Still stands. Let’s beat the odds by

loving each other like God.

Ireland 517

Our buzz words this week are | WALK | OLD | PROMISE | VIEW | BEAT |

This week’s offering is a tanka.

Tanka poetry rhythm is  5 – 7 – 5 – 7 – 7 in one stanza. Many times tanka poetry focuses around the theme of love and relationships.

Let me ask, who do you think is the narrator in this poem and who is he/she speaking to? Who else could it be?

Color Your World: Green-Yellow

It must be admitted that I march to the beat of a different drummer. I am usually behind the times or ahead of time but seldom am I right on time. It can be a little disconcerting for those who travel with me. But I ask you to bear with me as I work to make up time here at COLOR YOUR WORLD. It’s not the only place I am playing catch up, but I have to admit that once I find a little time catching up comes rather quickly with this challenge. I like that.

Today I am working on the color GREEN-YELLOW. You can click either of the capitalized link to go to Jennifer’s post and see how her other contributors played with the shade.

Here is the color we are going for:

Here is the closest I think I can come.

Directions From Morning Scripture

img_20160202_073953.jpg

My personal Scripture reading was in Ezekiel 12-14 today. These are powerful and convicting chapters that speak to our future. But the Scripture I feel led to share with you, my readers, this morning is the devotional Scripture I am preaching in our morning prayer group it is from Luke 11:13

If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

May I simply ask, have you received the Holy Spirit by asking for Him? What are you allowing Him to do through you today?
