Thank you Izzy. LOVE says it all! You had the perfect explanation of who God is and was and always will be. But your son wrapped it all up in one word......LOVE. Without love, what else is there. Our world is so full of hate, but LOVE and God conquer all.
Carole....you said it all in one word too..... AMEN!
Jana..... you always relate the devotion to a song. You bring back so many memories of beautiful old hymns. You always inspire me.
Becca....You have a way with inspirational words that always leave me with hope and inspiration too.
I smiled when I saw the picture. I thought about this leaf and how much it reminded me of life. The barren tree branch, a tiny green bud, a stem, and then a strong green leaf blowing with the wind and providing shade and comfort to those beneath it.
But then fall, the later days of our lives, The leaf begins to change colors but still awesome in shades of gold, orange, red, and brown. Sometimes we too "shine" in our senior years. But then it begins to wither and finally fall from the tree. The edges wither with age and time as they fall to the ground.
But in life, God's hands are there to catch us, like this leaf. He gently holds us in HIS hands, as frail as a leaf in our old age. And when our time on earth is ended, HE gently carries us home to heaven.
I think of Caroline, and MaryZ and Rosebud, and so many others whose loved ones have been carried home, gently cradled in the arms of our Lord.
May God bless each and every one of you today and always. May you feel the hands of God, gently carrying you thru life today. Prayers for all your needs.
Thank you everyone for your mini bible study today and every day. I look here daily for inspiration and hope and beautiful comments. Don't always have time to reply but I do read and I certainly do pray. Hugs and LOVE to all, Shirley Mae
