Serenade

By JE Lillie

She had little to show for the last two years, just what was in her duffel. He owned the rest. When he told her about the new woman it had taken her only fifteen minutes to clear out.

Standing on the lift platform she realized it had all been a dream. Reality couldn’t be rolled up in under a half hour. She promised herself it would never happen again.

The street player arrived then and opened up his guitar case. As he began to play she smiled. He smiled back, and the dream began again.

Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
²²The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned. Psalm 34:21-22

How does this first line change your view of God’s judgment?

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
²⁰He guards all his bones;
Not one of them is broken. Psalm 34:19,20

Who is this portion talking about?

Evening Meditation 12-27-16

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
¹⁸The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:17,18

In what way is the Lord near the broken hearted? Is this linked in some way to having a contrite spirit?

Share Your World 2016 Week 52

Posted on December 27, 2016 by joseph elon lillie under For Family & Fun

I have been coming to Cee’s blog for about four years now to participate in her various challenges. Share Your World was the very first challenge I took up as a blogger. In Cee’s own words here is what share your world is all about.

Share Your World (SYW) is all about having a safe place for everyone to answer random questions that I post each week. Here is the basic format. I will ask you:

To answer four questions each week.
Bonus Question is always the same “What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?” Because we all need to be reminded that there are many things in our lives to be grateful about.

Here are this week’s questions and my answers:

What’s your favorite ice-cream flavor?

I think this changes regularly but right now it is Mount Washington Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup. I think I will have to have a bowl tonight!
