Psalm 128 ~ all the days of your life

Psalm 128

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,

    who walks in his ways!

2 You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;

    you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

    within your house;

your children will be like olive shoots

    around your table.

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed

    who fears the Lord.

5 The Lord bless you from Zion!

    May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem

    all the days of your life!

6 May you see your children's children!

    Peace be upon Israel!

We had an incredibly traveled Thanksgiving as a nation. If you add up all the wildly different polls, about 1/3 of Americans, are traveling to Thanksgiving and travel numbers are up again for Christmas.

Someone is doing Something Right.

Did The Rockwell era know stress and business? 

You betcha. 

Train images by John Phillip Falter, 1910-1982

Commute by George Hughes 

Saturday Evening Post, John Falter Archives, Diner in full swing  

When we think about all the agendas, all the anger, all the turmoil, we find News is being turned off. Permanently.   So, what images are we choosing for our homes?  In 1980, eBay had a painting sell for $190,000. The art world took notice. The artist in advanced age, 2 years before he died, John Phillip Falter saw interest in his art and in his Saturday Evening Posts revive!

Now, these are the paintings being bought for their hope. John Falter paintings below.

Combine this with Thanksgiving and Christmas travel. Many people said the Pandemic lockdown gave them a better idea how to be the people they admire. These family paintings are about love, endurance, forgiveness, hope and joy.

Given the similarity to Norman Rockwell, you'd have to say most of the people in the nesting era in life are deciding what is important. In ways of Goodness and Endurance. 

2 Corinthians 4:18 

We look not to the things that are seen 

but to the things that are unseen. 

For the things that are seen are transient, 

but the things that are unseen are eternal.

John 13:34

A new command I give you: Love one another.

 As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

Malachi 4:5, 6a

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before 

the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.

 And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, 

and the hearts of the children 

to their fathers.

Romans 5:9

Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God.

Romans 10:9-10

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 

For with the heart one believes and is justified, 

and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
