The Unspeakable Love



What a wonderful world it would be to be around those encouraging, thrusters and lifters.

 Life would be so much more enjoyable. 

As we read in 1 Corinthians 13 verse 7

Love bears all things, 
believes all things, 
hopes all things, 
endures all things.
Love never fails. 
Love is patient and kind, 
never gets upset easily,
 does not want to be babied.

We have lifters and thrusters, but as well we have downers and draggers, which none of we would have asked for. No, no. 

The gift at Christmas was a gift God gave us of His Son, the Lord, Jesus Christ.

 He came to give you and me this abiding peace. 

As we learn the very hard lesson of love,
 His love as 1 Corinthians says -
 bearing all things and enduring all things -
 for Gods love never fails.

Let us keep Gods loving gift,
 working in our lives, that gift given at Christmas, the gift of His Son - 

The gift of love, 
the Unspeakable Love.

White Water Lilies

       
        On my vacation to Rushing River my daughter, Ruth and I, had a great time.
         As we were paddling along in a small inlet we came across a few beautiful white water lilies.

     I started to wonder how they grow in so much water? Where do they receive their nourishment?

      Apparently they have root stack called rhyzomes or some tuberous roots.

      They had been planted in rotten old wood under which was rich soil well able to provide nourishment for these White Water  Lilies.

      These lilies were tough to the touch but extremely beautiful.

       Some with yellow and others with pink enclosures.

     The bible says we are to be routed and grounded in love.
     Getting our strength and nourishment from God.
 
In Ephesians 3:17
 
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; being routed and grounded in love.




 

A Little Reminder

 
Like the bible says:
Be careful for nothing, or be anxious for nothing.
Philippians 4:6

St. John 14:27 says
Peace I leave with you, peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, I give unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Keep calm, do your work and don't worry.
So you can live to retrieve - which means restore, recover, regain, reclaim, repair, or even says makes amends.

I like the above; don't you?

Have a nice day.
