I believed God has opened the windows of heaven and poured us out a great rain. How thankful we are. Green is beautiful while it lasts. My flower beds are standing in water. Woe be to my lawn mowing when it does get dry. The farmers are expecting a bumper crop of wheat this year, after nearly seven years of draught. Everyone in Perryton is excited at this time. Although we know that surprises are still possible. Green bugs or hail, and other things as well. Our faith is anchored in the good Lord to keep us blessed.
I have been working on a portrait of my grand-daughter for some time now. I have done and redone it over so much till I have decided to leave it like it is. Bailey probably will be unhappy with me for posting it so everyone can see who grandmother thinks she really is, but sometimes the real person shows up in paintings that wasn’t meant to be. I see her as beautiful, composed, talented, brilliant, and a rising star young lady. Others may not recognize these characteristics from this portrait, but I am certain I have made it as plain as I possibly can. “Forgive me Bailey if I didn’t gain your pleasure. You are dear to me.” I will be posting this portrait tomorrow, April 28, 2015 if nothing happens to stop me. There comes a time when every artist has to say its time to quit. I have made that decision. Like it or not, that’s it. Bailey will be graduating from Gainesville, Texas high School June 1, 2015. She has made that school proud, they will miss her much.
My spiritual thought for the day is this. Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. I do not like to keep telling people this scripture, because it is positively true, and I don’t like to see people punished, but I, along with everyone else has been born with this command, and it is not possible to escape it. If we will engrave those words upon our mind we will always be aware of the consequences if we make quick decisions without thinking them through. Of course one has to allow God to prompt them instead of trusting their own brainwork. The bible tells us that the human being is as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6. All of us have become like one who is unclean and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags. We shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. For those who don’t believe in the old testament, God forbid. The old testament is proving its self every day. Woe be to those who leave the old testament teachings out of their curriculum. There may be some bible schools that just teach new testament theology, but I don’t know of one. My advise is, “don’t try to find one.:
God Bless
