And all the trees will know that it is I, the Lord , who cuts the tall tree down and makes the short tree grow tall. It is I who makes the green tree wither and gives the dead tree new life. I, the Lord , have spoken, and I will do what I said!”
Ezekiel 17:24 NLT

What is God doing with the tree of your life? What should your response be to His work?

Color Your World: Inch Worm

Today we are taking another page from the weird color packet. We begin the day with INCH WORM.  

Now growing up inch worms were things you threw at girls to make them scream and no one thought badly about you for it (well except maybe your mother and that was only because your father had thrown inch worms at her), but nowadays when such behavior is frowned upon we have turned inch worm into this

Boys if you have an inch worm crayon in your box please don’t throw it at the girl you like. Crayons after all are not as soft as real inch worms.

Just a note. I threw money not inch worms into this lady’s violin case.

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.

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?
