Forsynthia in flower language is the joy of new beginnings
The anticipation of spring
There are many gifts God gives us
Salvation
is the most important
Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God
is
in your midst
A Mighty One
Who Will Save
He Will Rejoice
over you
with gladness
He Will
Quiet you by His Love
He Will
Exult over you
with Loud Singing
Lent is approaching. And this is a very good season to examine the times and ways you personally draw near to the Lord. When I worked with Pro Life, we often heard from women in dire circumstances they felt apart from God. When we suggested listening to Christian Radio, the ladies came back with more joy saying God had helped them to be near Him.
The Absolutely sky filling
Archangel cloud
we saw on Lake Texhoma
staying in place for two solid hours.
Another cousin-in-law of mine said he had difficulty feeling God was near. And he felt so much more calm and in peace and safety while he listened to Gregorian Hymn Chant. 15th Century Gregorian Chant recorded by monks. For a long time Edward and I did not exactly appreciate the Chants. And then Edward looked for the Hymn Chants he liked. And I found I liked the Hymns Edward liked. Today, many years later, we like the Hymns. And feel much more in tune with Jesus to listen.
Remember, Monks fed the world. Educated for literacy.
Especially after the decimation
of the Black Plaques.
After Henry VIII decimated the monasteries, starvation was the cause of death of 1/3 of his subjects. Monasteries started the idea of works and healing and fulfilled this by beginning the first hospitals during plague.
And if that does not move your heart, remember they taught farming, bee keeping and made jolly good beer for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Water supplies and that.
Let's also bring to remembrance,
Cathedrals we love today
were built with entire monasteries
making sure
the Beauty Was Established
in
Worship.
Accepting the gift of God!
Philippians 4:8
Finally
Brothers!
Whatever is
True
Whatever is Honorable
Whatever is
Just
Whatever is
Commendable
If there is
Any Excellence
If there is anything
Worthy of Praise
Think
about
These Things.
Hosea 10:12
Sow for yourselves
Righteousness
Reap
Steadfast Love
Break up your
fallow ground.
For it is Time
to
Seek The Lord.
That He may come
and Rain Righteousness
upon you.
Shining
The Light of Love Peace and Joy
upon
The Teachings of Jesus Christ.
God of Love
God of Encouragement
God of the Bible.
Dwell in me,
Dwell in us,
Dwell in those we Love,
Help us to seek You first.
And we will finish well,
in Jesus Christ.
Help us seek and find
and bring,
to become,
more Heaven
to this earth.
Amen Amen
Amen
Amen
And for our
first grandchild
in June
Good Health
and God's Blessings
on our family.
For the Gift of Love
Jesus,
