If only Christo was still with us.
Christo Vladimirov Javacheff and Jeanne-Claude were a married couple who created environmental works of art. Christo and Jeanne-Claude were born on the same day, June 13, 1935; Christo in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, and Jeanne-Claude in Morocco. They first met in Paris in October 1958 when Christo painted a portrait of Jeanne-Claude's mother. They then fell in love through creating art work together. Credit was given to "Christo" only, until 1994, when the outdoor works and large indoor installations were retroactively credited to "Christo and Jeanne-Claude." They flew in separate planes: in case one crashed, the other could continue their work.
He might have said this was too much color. Or he might have said beauty crosses borders. Jeanne-Claude might say this Unites people. Americans have for generations called this America's House.
Proverbs 4:27
Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.
We have seen new and harsh words in the political slime-ant. Violent words. Anger. And we have seen unbecoming topics focused on - not putting enough focus on Lara's Law.
And yet we have to remember in this harsh climate, we had an apology from an actor when he actually got very loud approval for his joke. No one really commented on how rare and refreshing it is to see an apology. No one gave this apology a second glance. Why.
We have seen, lately, people crossing their political aisle to put their comment upon remembering we want this country to prosper and feel as if we are part of the Nation. Don't forget this. The Left has said to the right, we agree we want our culture to have a way to meet in the middle to have pleasing circumstances.
Applaud the news for finding the wholesome middle worth their time.
What does God say to the middle? What we all agree on about The Christmas Truce of 1914. Relief. Support for mercy and humanity.
Psalm 145:9
The LORD is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.
Mark 10:18
"Why do you call Me good?" Jesus replied, "No one is good except God alone."
Psalm 100:5
For the LORD is good; His loving kindness is - everlasting -
And His faithfulness .... to all generations.
Did the Lord ever speak out about finding where the middle is placed?
Micah 6
8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
What will we see in this Humility before the Lord?
Deuteronomy 30:15
"See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity"
The Goodness of God reaches from Moses to Micah. And continues to eternal life.
Deuteronomy 10:12
"Now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require from you,
but to fear the LORD your God,
to walk in all His ways and love Him,
and to serve the LORD your God
with all your heart and with all your soul"
John Adams served his Nation. He saw the Founding Fathers as co-workers. And when he reached England he found King George III to be compassionate and found common ground after having loathed the man from a distance. John Adams reached France and found Jefferson and Franklin accomplishing little trying to blend in. To both England and France, he met them with honesty. And John Adams accomplished much - rarely is he credited for filling the shoes of George Washington next. Bold to take on law cases that were righteous in his eyes - so much so movies today credit Adams with his truth. Treated his enemy - George III with compassion and then treated Thomas Jefferson equally as well.
Not all believe the ending statement of John Adams saying, "Jefferson lives." I do. Salvation is what we Live for. Life. I have seen death bed peace and joy. Contentment to go to God. I have seen news from entering into Heaven prove to be reliable twice in my own life - twice. Life changing. I believe in the mystery and goodness of God.
Abba, our Father,
For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. The flowers have already appeared in the land; The time has arrived for pruning the vines, And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Let us seek peace and pursue it.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Putting all of our cares upon the Lord Jesus Christ, for He makes our burdens light. We find rest for our soul.
Giving thanks for my son who helped the air conditioning work in Texas in July. Allleluuuuia!!! With a July Birthday. Resting all our people, all our beloved all of our cares in the Steadfast, reliable, determined, goodness and Love of Jesus. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
