“...the nursery rhyme “Little Jack Horner”:

Nursery rhymes are for children, thus they seek to be not real; but rather imaginary in the most part. That is why we remember them, “Humpty Dumpty sat of the wall”, “Jack and Jill went up the hill”, “Old mother hubbard lived in a shoe ...”, Hansel and Gretal, etc. are Poetry at a very early age. Some of the stories are quite scary, really. Not the stuff of sweet dreams. Funny how we have gone along with this practice. Trying to figure out the moral to the story is often vague ... Rumpelstiltskin ??? , however, we think up some common sense answer and believe it is a truth.. Wrong. Satan was probably laughing at how foolish we are. He uses everyday things to deceive us.

God help us to not be deceived, in Jesus name amen.

Well some mighty prayers must have gone up, no fire works were needed.

Have my medical records now reflecting this as a on going medical condition..now all I have to do is get the infection to heal and find a stomach reconstruction doc that takes Medicare. See wound care doc on Monday. Got a new powdered Nystatin and a ab brace to hold up the skin fold so it can air better. FINGERS CROSSED, I could be on the road to one less health issue.

Bladder issue turned out to be the Lore Tabs side effects, forcing the rectum down on the bladder. No Lore Tabs and issue is gone. Never would have guessed that.

Thanks for the PRAYERS!

Beautiful Scars

April 18, 2012

A number of years ago I was hiking along the Salmon River and came across a grove of pine trees that had been partially stripped of their bark. I knew from a friend who is a forester that the Native Americans who hunted this area long ago had peeled the outer bark and harvested the underlying layer for chewing gum. Some of the scars were disfiguring, but others, filled with crystallized sap and burnished by wind and weather, had been transformed into patterns of rare beauty.

So it is with our transgressions. We may be scarred by the sins of the past. But those sins, repented of and brought to Jesus for His forgiveness, can leave behind marks of beauty.

Some people, having tasted the bitterness of sin, now loathe it. They hate evil and love righteousness. Theirs is the beauty of holiness.

Others, knowing how far they fall short (Rom. 3:23), have tender hearts toward others. They rise up with understanding, compassion, and kindness when others fail. Theirs is the beauty of humility.

Finally, when acts of sin are freely and thoroughly forgiven it leads to intimacy with the One who has shown mercy. Such sinners love much for much has been forgiven (Luke 7:47). Theirs is the beauty of love.

Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me—
All His wonderful passion and purity!
O Thou Spirit divine, all my nature refine,
Till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me. —Orsborn
A forgiven heart is the fountain of beauty.

Read: Luke 7:36-49

Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. —Luke 7:47
Bible in a Year:
1 Chronicles 14-16

Lovely idea,...
“We may be scarred by the sins of the past. But those sins, repented of and brought to Jesus for His forgiveness, can leave behind marks of beauty. ...”

It does mold and make our character, there is no other way to get from where we were to where we are. It is desired we can pass this learning and mercy, and forgiveness of God directly on to others, we each must find our own way, day by day. Those willing to listen, can have pearls of wisdom dropped at their feet ... an offering of love.

It has been said, ‘I had to learn the hard way, so let it be to all men’ ... but as parents caring and loving our children, we hope to save them the pain of evil deeds and it's result. Father, thank thee for thy grace, mercy, forgiveness, and love. In Jesus name, amen.

Praise The Lord!

Here's hoping you get on a super-highway where all health problems become things of the past.

Congratulations Grandma MEG!

Years from now they will each say, “I’m the better looking one”. That’s what my brother and I have been doing for a few years. ;^)
