Weekly Photo Challenge:Earth

This Week We have been asked by the people over at the Daily Post to show us WHAT EARTH MEANS TO US. Click that underlined link to see what it means to others. Here is what I thought of.

Psalm 24

The earth is the LORD’S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

3Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

7Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.cropped-muckross-storm.jpg

8Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

10Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Admiration

This week THE DAILY POST HAS CHALLENGED US TO SHOW ADMIRATION.

I think what inspires admiration in me is an aura of the heroic.

My daughter is an inspiration to me. She is a consummate overcomer. Tenacious and directed. She has fought and advocated for herself every step of her journey and soon she hopes to be Pastor Amanda Lillie.

I admire my son for his bravery in traversing cultures and continents to be a teacher overseas.

I admire my  son-in-law James and my daughter Melanie for stepping into marriage and making their way into ministry in the Boston suburbs.

I admire my sister who is heading to her mission field in the Netherlands tomorrow to bring the message of the gospel to the world through theater ministry

 

I admire the artists and ministry team of C.cada and Special Touch for their willingness to lay so much aside for the work of God’s kingdom.

 

And I really admire the staff and workers of Cornerstone for their hard work in the Lord.

Mostly I admire the One who has put something of the heroic in all of us.

Three lamps to light the way.

I had thought of the greatest Three of all, but getting the Father, Son and Holy Spirit all in one photo turns out to be a little difficult for this photographer.

What Does Victory Look Like

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Victory.”

Here are just a few reminders of victory from my family album.

The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.
