Weekly Photo Challenge: Resilient

This week the Daily post has asked us to close out the old year by showing the world an example of  RESILIENCE.

Here are my examples of resilient things

Rocky was a pretty resilient guy. Come to think of it so were the movies. What are we on now Rocky 42?

New England winters are resilient. Summer comes but winter claims its season year after year. Of course that means…

New Englanders need to be resilient.

PARTY ON

Or maybe just straight up crazy.

But of all the resilient things in the world, the thing which I think is the most resilient is

the kingdom of God.

Its founder was killed.

Rock of ages

He rose again.

Its people were persecuted.

Yet the kingdom grew.

At the end of time through the worst of tribulations, though Satan himself shall rise and fall and rise again, the kingdom of God shall endure. When all else fades and is undone that kingdom alone among all the kingdoms of Earth shall remain into eternity.

Now here is how other contributors saw the subject of resilience

Weekly Photo Challenge: It’s Not That Time Of Year Without…

With Thanksgiving over and Black Friday beyond us here in the States I am thinking now of Christmas. While I think most of you who know me already know what my answer will be to this week’s question I just have to take up The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge and say

It’s just not that time of year without…

Christmas Service! I especially love this time of year because it’s still a tradition for many people to go to church and Christmas is all about Christ (it still bears His name after all) and the way to celebrate, is to go and give Him thanks for coming to Earth.

I love Christmas Eve candlelight service!

And I especially love it when Christmas falls on a Sunday!

I know many people will disagree with me but it’s just not Christmas without a church service!

Here are some other thoughts on the subject!

Weekly Photo Challenge: All That Glimmers

This week the Daily Post has challenged us to show our photos of SHINY THINGS.

You can click the underlined link to get to a host of shining photos.

Here are my photographs and thoughts on the matter.

“All that glisters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life has sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold
Had you been as wise as bold,
Your in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been in’scroll’d
Fare you well: your suit is cold.’ Cold, indeed, and labour lost: Then, farewell, heat and welcome, frost!” Shakespeare, Merchant Of Venice

But al thyng which that shyneth as the gold / Nis nat gold, as that I have herd it told” Geoffrey Chaucer, Yeoman’s Tale

Hyt is not al golde that glareth” Geoffrey Chaucer, The House Of Fame

The moments captured in shining brilliance may not be gold we can buy the world with, but the world itself could hardly compare with even a moment of memory captured in the glare of such a sun. JE Lillie
