Cloudy Day

Do you know how the clouds are balanced, Those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge? Job 37:16

P1040024

As we are preparing to begin the road towards Florida I thought I’d take some farewell photos of my beloved farm (not mine exactly but the one I have managed for 25 years. Wouldn’t you know it but my big chance for lots of spectacular endless mountain scenery ended up as a cloudy day.

P1040011

But even with clouds it is still an amazing place. It is so hard to imagine not seeing these hills, muddy roads, quiet streams and fields.

 

P1040008

Nothing grows easily in this hard rocky clay soil but grass, trees, corn and people with roots deep enough to keep them from being blown off the mountain ridges!

 P1040013

But whatever road God leads us on He has promised to be with us. What better scenery than the horizon that God has chosen is there? He has promised to watch over, walk along side and care for our needs in whatever place He chooses for us to call home!

Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:26

P1040017

A Little of God’s All

Overflowing joy! When was the last time you honestly remember experiencing joy like that? I know for me it has been way too long. Maybe those extremely poor believers who Paul had befriended discovered that just as Jesus had said “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”. Maybe they found that giving all of their little gave them a chance to receive a little of God’s all and it was more than they could have ever imagined!

There is a River

In our rush to go where we think we need to be some days we whizz by with barely a glance out our window. Our goals insist we hurry. But in our rush we just might be missing the plans of God. His plans are like an overflowing river if will just pull off to the side of our road to see them. Their source is before time in the far distant mountains of eternity. Their goal is beyond our horizon and empties into the sea of His forgiveness and love.

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. Psalms 46:4
