You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;
    all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart
    and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
    for comforters, but I found none.
21 They put gall in my food
    and gave me vinegar for my thirst. Psalm 69:19-21

How are scorn and helplessness connected in this Psalm?

Share Your World June 11, 2018

Sharing our worlds is what blogging is all about. I love that Cee at Cee’s photography gives each of us an opportunity to share our bit of our little corners of this swiftly spinning sphere.

 

Click that paragraph to go over and share a bit of your life with Cee.

Here are Cee’s sharing questions for the week and my answers:
If you could choose any person from history to be your imaginary friend, who would it be and why?

I would choose Francis Of Assisi to be my imaginary friend because he has such an interesting soul. His legacy is so tough and tender.

60s, 70s, 80s, 90s: Which decade do you love the most and why? 

I think I would have to say the 70’s because the TV was so cheesy and awesome. It was the time when my imagination was forged in fires of innocence.

When you die, what do you want to be remembered for?

My faith, my hope, my love, my wisdom and my patience.

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

I really enjoyed attending my daughter’s baby shower. That’s right! I am going to be a Grampa. But I will not be called “Grampa”. I shall be “Oz”!

I am a few days late this week but still determined to Share My World. My! My! My! It was a busy one!

Here are the sharing questions for this week and my answers:

A piece of clothing from your younger childhood you still remember?

I had this brown silk shirt with wagon wheels all over it. I thought it was awesome when I was eight. It was the height of 70’s fashion. I think my mother burned all the pictures of me wearing it.

Irregardless of your physical fitness, coordination or agility: If you could be an athlete what would do do?   Remember this is SYW, dreaming is always allowed.

I would be a parkour master

 

In a car would you rather drive or be a passenger?

I think I would rather drive at this point in my life and that is a definite change.

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

Here is a quote from one of the books I am reading. That inspired me this week.

“If…we dare to respond as Father God call us out to become His men, if we allow Him to nail our pride and our plans to the cross, we’re eligible at last to receive His Spirit and do our appointed task in restoring His kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.- From Healing the Masculine Soul
