The Old...Rugged Cross...

 

 

As I sat...and pondered...last night....

Flipped through...a thimbleful...of images...I captured...over the last year...

I had never realized...

How Close...to The Lord...I have become...

I don't belong...to an organized religion....

and..stumble...and fall...regularly....yet...

With...all of my faults...

{I listed them...one...by one...{it took me awhile : ) }

I know....The Lord...is a Huge...part of my life...

I Know...He Loves Me...

as..He Loves...All of His Children...

There are things in Life...on this Journey...we don't understand....

but...

The other...thing...I found...last night...

is...

How very Much..

I Trust...The Lord...

If...we ask Him...to show us...help us...carry us....

He will...

tho

We must be patient...

It will be...on His Time...

The Right...

time...

I believe...this part of our 'Journey'... is a Brief One....

Maybe...only moments...or...a hundred years...or better...

A Learning...and Growing...Place...

Preparing us...for....the next...

It can be a Painful...place...yet...so....Incredibly Beautiful...

Without...each of them...we could never...appreciate...the other...

nor...could we grow...

My Prayers...are sent...to the World...today...

Every...Village...

To...Every Creature...

and...

Love...to you....

I always...think back...when times...are so...hard...to the verse...

"Grain must be ground...to make bread"...

{ Isaiah 28:28 }

Being from Iowa... I see...how the Farmer...turns the Earth...in the Spring...

and if...the Earth...could speak.... She'd probably say...it is a Painful...process...

Yet...without...her..pain... she could never..produce..

The Bountiful...Harvest...

that Feeds...The World...

{a lesson...I learned... long ago...from Streams in the Desert...and...being...turned...'round...and 'round...and...tumbled...on my...'journey'....}
