THINKING STRANGELY

Thinking out of the box is creating this post. I found these quotes to be provocative. How will they make you think about them, I’m curious:

“Pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.” Kahlil Gibran.

“The most dangerous phrase in the language is: We’ve always done it this way.” Grace Hopper.

“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.” Bertrand Russell.

Do you agree that these thoughts can challenge us in our current state of world affairs? A Pexels Image.

MY HOUSE…AND YOUR HOUSE

A place I know and cherish is my house. I bet you feel the same way about yours.

I reside there to savor special beauty God given. In any corner I welcome peace. I do some dreaming, happy remembering. My heart is open to life. I am the person I ought to be.

“The ornament of a house is the people who frequent it.” Ralph Waldo Ermerson.

I hope that one of your best places is your home. When you come and go, you become that special person. Happy Tuesday! A Georgia mountain scene.

IMMEASUREABLE SUCCESS

Today I made a new discovery about God’s nature. I randomly opened the Bible and landed on the book of Ecclesiastes, Chapter 5:16-20 saying:

“…It is good for people to eat, drink and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life – this is indeed a gift from God. God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.”

Here God is describing lasting success – With a whole heart, mind, soul and strength. We are blessed who do good, Psalm 84:11. Proverbs 11:14 gives advice to bring out success. Trusting God in everything leads to success, Proverbs 16:3, and if we accept Matthews 20:26, loving God is true success.

I take this knowledge to heart. How will you apply this immeasurable success in your life? I trust you will give it your best shot. A Picasso Painting.

A PROPHETIC REMINDER

“No weather is ill, if the wind be still.”  The Old Farmer’s Almanac.

Our neighbor’s rooster crows around 5am, then comes rain or sunshine, but that won’t stop the birds from singing.  Prophetic voices continue to call out a calm before the storm, but do not be afraid.  We, His children are living in Goshen, well protected.  Behind the scene, God is wielding power over our enemies, Babylon being purged of all wickedness.  There is a harvest of plenty to be had.  Live well, give joy to others.  Pray for lost souls.  Receive God’s goodness.  All will be well as this year ends.  Be ready, Believe, Rejoice!  A Bing Image.

 

 

SEASONAL RAIN

This year’s Winter Farmers’ Almanac predicts abundant rain in the Southeast where I live which is unusual. With 90 and above temperatures we are having rain is welcome, inspiring this Haiku:

Come rainy drizzles

As fog hugs the wet ground

Then shines midday sun
