Good evening, Billie.
Today's Opening is so pretty. I love that song.
It is so sad and romantic at the same time.

I'm happy that I was able to see the mass of people trying to get to the Showdown in Searchlight on Saturday.
But, I don't think I will ever try anothe mini vacation.
Spent way too much time in the car.
We left Friday afternoon and got home last night.
Most of Saturday was spent in the car.
Then we headed home yesterday morning so another day cooped up in the car.

I haven't checked my pictures, yet.
Been taking short naps whenever I find the time.
I'm hoping for some pictures of the lines of vehicles blocking all four lanes of the hiway that runs thru Searchlight.

Thank you again for Today's Graphic and Music.

Welcome to March, Yorkie! LOL

Marissa logged onto FR yesterday and found the picture of your javelina. She is still learning her way around. I guess that she hasn’t been pinged since the first of March.

See you when morning arrives.

[Aquamarine]

Good morning All! Thanks for the springy Daisy post today Billie, well done as usual.
Prayers for John that he'll get what he needs in order to recover and Dave and his family as they grieve over the loss of a good man.

The Beauty Of Forgiveness

Listen Now |  Play MP3 (Mobile)
READ: Luke 15:11-24

When he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran . . . and kissed him. —Luke 15:20

What started out as a collection has grown into a ministry opportunity for Larry and Mary Gerbens. For the past 10 years they’ve been collecting artistic works based on the story of the prodigal son from Luke 15. Their collection includes a painting by Rembrandt and a number of items by other artists depicting this story.

The Gerbens wanted to share their collection, so they put it on display at a local college. Larry said, “The artists have ministered to us, and we hope their work will minister to others.”

As I wandered through the displays, I was touched by the deep need of the prodigal, his honest repentance, and the beautiful forgiveness of the father portrayed in the variety of art pieces—paintings, etchings, engravings, glasswork, sketches, and silk screens.

We have all been like the son in this story, who had other plans for his life than what his father had for him. We have all run away from our heavenly Father (Rom. 3:10-12). But He welcomes us when we come to Him.

You too will see the beauty of forgiveness in your heavenly Father’s face when you cry out to Him, “Father, I have sinned . . .” (Luke 15:18). If you’re away from Him, head home now and experience His love.

O Lord, I now admit my guilt,
And I accept Your grace;
Transform my life and help me grow
Until I see Your face. —Hess

When God forgives, He removes the sin and restores the soul.

Bible in One Year: Judges 11-12; Luke 6:1-26

” ., I was touched by the deep need of the prodigal, his honest repentance, and the beautiful forgiveness of the father portrayed ...”
__________________________________________________________
Luke 15:17—24 (King James Version)

17.”And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

18.I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

19.And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

20.And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

21.And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

22.But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

23.And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

24.For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. ... “

The Bible is filled with men that wanted to be their own God.

The Father tells us what to do ... bless and curse not, seek and ye shall find, knock and it will be opened to you, believe and it will be given to you,Come to the LORD thou God in prayer...

from beginning to end “He is calling” us to Him. Do you hear Him? His promises are GREAT. Do You Know them?

Thank you, Mayor for this beautiful, touching devotion.

excerpt
... “There is something within each of us that longs to be in control of our lives. It may be only a small corner where we assert our spiritual independence and answer to no one but ourselves.

But true freedom comes when we allow Christ to rule our hearts.” ...
_________________________________________________________

Just like satan/Lucifer ... that said ‘I will he be higher than God.’ Do we realize it is the subtlety of satan (as prince of this world system; the real though unseen ruler of successive world powers) (foot note Scofield study Bible;) in us that causes us to rebel? Isaiah 14:12-14

God help us in our day, in Jesus name.

"How very very true!!"
