Extraordinary Showers
What do fish, tadpoles, and spiders have in common? They have all fallen from the sky like rain in various parts of the world. Fish fell on the Australian town of Lajamanu. Tadpoles pelted areas of central Japan on multiple occasions. Spiders showered down on the San Bernardo Mountains in Argentina. Although scientists suspect that the wind plays a part in these intriguing showers, no one can fully explain them.
The prophet Ezekiel described a far more extraordinary downpoura shower of blessing (Ezek. 34:26). Ezekiel spoke of a time when God would send blessings like rain to refresh His people. The Israelites would be safe from enemy nations. They would have enough food, be liberated from slavery, and be freed from shame (vv.27-29). These gifts would revive Israels relationship with God. The people would know that God was with them, and that they, the house of Israel, [were His] people (v.30).
God blesses His modern-day followers too (James 1:17). Sometimes blessings abound like rain; sometimes they trickle in one by one. Whether many or few, the good things we receive come with a message from God: I see your needs. You are mine, and I will care for you.
'There shall be showers of blessing
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above. Whittle
Daily blessings are daily reminders of God.
In todays passage, the prophet Ezekiel offers a message of future hope and peace to a nation that had suffered defeat and was living in exile far from their homeland. Ezekiel 34:20-24 speaks of the shepherd who God will raise up to lead His people in the wonderful age described in verses 25-31. Jesus calls Himself the Good Shepherd (John 10:11-18), and the joy and peace described in Ezekiel 34 are ours only in Him.

I started on a seven-day course of Levaquin today - It has done the job in the past. We're freezing here - we're at 14 right now with overnight temps expected close to Zero - winds are picking up.
I may stay home tomorrow.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!
"I FOUGHT FOR YOU!" (Click)
Several years ago, I saw this video on YouTube and, sentimental old geezer that I am, I was moved. I showed it to my young sons, who much like the boys in the video, were preoccupied with their Game-Boys and I-Pods. When it was over, I glared at them with piercing eyes and told them straight out:
"I FOUGHT FOR YOU!"
I was most heartened to see that they responded as I had hoped they would they have been asking me ever since about the Vietnam War, our present war, and our Nation and what it means.
I am more convinced than ever that we need to take a much larger role in forming the character of our children it is much more important than whether we are professional successes or "get along" with our neighbors or anyone else. They are our legacy, and their world is under heavy attack from the Forces of Evil.
Godspeed our Valiant Troops! They stand for us, they stand for Freedom and they stand for our American Way of Life!
Please let me know by Freepmail if you would like to be admitted to or released from my music pinglist.
