6月9日 good timeswell i have the grand girls with me today and they are a hand full. ones walking and the other one s too big to crawl! but they love to be around their old grand dad. i have the joy of seeing them eating fresh plums and i laugh as the juice runs down their little mouths and they wait their turns for their next bite. one thing is for sure, the plum, peach,
blueberry, apple, orange, satsuma, and pear trees are not going to go to waste with them around. they are not like their dads, they love the fruit trees. phillip, my youngest son, is he only one of the boys that really eat the fruits.
anyway, this is another part of my life that GOD has blessed me to be able to enjoy. i planted the trees as a blessing for the kids in the family and for the friends of the kids of the family, and now i am seeing children enjoying these things. well, i have adults who enjoy these things too, especially my siblings. this land and the yard and the family are all things that GOD have blessed me to have and have fulfilled a dream that i have had from my childhood. whoever said simple pleasures are the best, well in this case, they were on to something. we're coming up on the fourth of july, and all the family and a bunch of friends will be here and there will be good food, a lot of love and even more laughs and although i will have to do the most of the cooking, i will enjoy this day so much because i will be around people having a good clean time and loving the company of all those around them, and that is another of the simple things that make me happy. every three weeks we travel to my daughters house and we have a little cooking and family and co-workers come over and we all sit and eat and have fun and we praise the LORD. life is good and it is all because of GOD.
love
bro.ken 6月7日 NOBODY BUT JESUStoday i lay in bed with my feet in four hundred dollar night splints trying to get relief from the plantar fascitis that i have, and painful though it may be, i realize that there is still nothing or no one that can take the place of the love of GOD that is in Christ Jesus.
i have been battling different aches and pains as satan has tried to stifle my praise, but i will still open my mouth and shout out to the Lord in victory, because i know that neither height nor death nor distresses, or persecutions nor hunger or pain will ever be able to seperate me from the love of GOD. i hurt, but i am healed. i hurt, but this pain can not in anyway began to measure up to the pain that my LORD suffered for me on the Cross. i hurt, but does my hurt hurt any worse than the pain that Stephen felt as he was stoned to death because he preached Jesus to crowd that refused to hear? no, not even close! so why is it that i can't open my mouth, throw back my head and shout unto GOD with the voice of triumph. our GOD is an awesome GOD.
anyway, i just wanted to share my joy and my afflictions with you, and just in case some one is out there who is going through things and they don't have anyone to talk to them about it...i just want you to be encouraged. GOD has not forgot. it may be painful now, but remember this too shall pass. this is just a part of the tribulations that that we have been called to endure, and overcome.
love
bro.ken |
