Hi FRiend!
I just put my house up for sale. I have been cleaning and packing all day. Then the garage door broke and I had to wait around for the repairman, and couldn’t go to three lessons. (Unable to reschedule)
I am exhausted.

So we are both worn out together. lol Did not know you were selling your house, but then have been so busy and not able to keep up with FR as much as I'd like. Hope you can get a buyer. where are you going to be moving to btw?
we've been having probs with our garage doors too...
To: DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis
Giving away or selling everything, short-selling the house, and Linda and I moving to an apartment down the street. (sigh)

The Lamb Who Is The Lion
June 14, 2012
In Revelation 5, the apostle John portrays Jesus, the Lion of Judah (v.5), as a wounded Lamb (v.6). Referring to this word picture, preacher Charles Spurgeon asked, Why should our exalted Lord appear in His wounds in glory? His reply: The wounds of Jesus are His glory.
Typically, the symbol of a lamb does not represent power and victory. Most people prefer symbols of strength that invite admiration. Yet God chose to be incarnated as a baby born into a poor carpenters home. He lived as an itinerant preacher and died as a lamb to the slaughter (Isa. 53:7) on a Roman cross. Everyone, including His disciples, thought that His crucifixion spelled the end of the One who had dared to defy the established religious order of His day. But when Jesus Christ rose from the dead, He demonstrated mightily Gods incomparable power and glory.
The day is coming when Jesus will return in glory to rule what is rightfully His. On that day, all will bow before Him and say, Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing! (Rev. 5:12). Jesus, the Lamb who is also the Lion, deserves our praise!
Every knee in heaven is bending
To the Lamb for sinners slain;
Every voice and harp is swelling
Worthy is the Lamb to reign! Deck
To honor our King, His praises we sing.
Read: Revelation 5:1-12

Imagine, a life of peace, joy, love, wonder, no more tears, no more death, God's presence, purpose, and plan (for the universe open before us), amazing eternal bliss. We can not imagine such magnificence. It is well beyond us. This world with all its chaos and pain is one we do not want to leave, and the world to come will not contain chaos and pain. Let it be! Let it me.
Thank the LORD for his Goodness, Holiness, Righteousness, Mercy, Compassion, Peace, and Love. Thank The LORD, Praise Him, Praise the Everlasting, Eternal Father, in Jesus name, amen.

Thank you, Kitty! *hugs*
May this warm, lovely Thursday bring you many blessings!
I have 6 more of the pink/yellow roses blooming on the red bush. One is so light pink it's almost white. Truly interesting!

HAPPY THURSDAY TO AMYS PLACE!
Red Hanrahans Song About Ireland
The old brown thorn-trees break in two high over Cummen Strand, Under a bitter black wind that blows from the left hand; Our courage breaks like an old tree in a black wind and dies, But we have hidden in our hearts the flame out of the eyes Of Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.
The wind has bundled up the clouds high over Knocknarea, And thrown the thunder on the stones for all that Maeve can say. Angers that are like noisy clouds have set our hearts abeat; But we have all bent low and low and kissed the quiet feet Of Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.
The yellow pool has overflowed high up on Clooth-na-Bare, For the wet winds are blowing out of the clinging air; Like heavy flooded waters our bodies and our blood; But purer than a tall candle before the Holy Rood Is Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.
William Butler Yeats |
