It's Time For Lunch

No more exciting Cedar Waxwing sightings,,They have stripped my Youpon Holly tree of
red berries and left empty berry stems on the shrubs and trees in the ravine..
A fox trotted by on the patio this morning.
My 3 kitties are in deep sleep..I will join them later for a nap
I Wish You All A Relaxing, Blessed Sunday Afternoon

It’s spring here..Had a north wind hit this afternoon dropping temps fast to 45 from 55..Highs will be in the 60s and 70s all this week, though.
Hope your spring comes soon!

[MEG33]

You’re welcome, Amy...You know how I love wildflowers.
I did not get my nap..I got busy on some other chore and never made it.
I rarely miss a nap on Sunday afternoon...LOL

Perspective From The Clouds
March 17, 2014

Read: Job 3:3-5; 42:5-6

I have heard of You . . . but now my eye sees You. —Job 42:5

Bible in a Year:
Deuteronomy 30-31; Mark 15:1-25

In 1927 the silent film Wings, a World War I film about two American aviators, won the first Academy Award for Best Picture. When it was being filmed, production stopped for several days. Frustrated producers asked the director why. He responded: “All we have is blue sky. The conflict in the air will not be as visible without clouds. Clouds bring perspective.” He was right. Only by seeing aerial combat with clouds as a backdrop could the viewer see what was really going on.

We often wish for blue skies instead of storm clouds. But cloudy skies may reveal God’s faithfulness. We gain perspective on how God has been faithful in our trials as we look back on the clouds.

At the beginning of his terrible suffering, Job lamented: “May the day perish on which I was born . . . . May a cloud settle on it” (Job 3:3-5). His experience of despair continued for a long time until God spoke. Then Job exclaimed, “I have heard of You . . . but now my eye sees You” (42:5). Job had encountered the sovereign Creator, and that changed his perspective on God’s purposes.

Do clouds of trouble fill your skies today? Sooner than you think, God may use these clouds to help you gain perspective on His faithfulness.

God, give us wings to rise above
The clouds of trial that block the sun,
To soar above gray skies and see
The love and goodness of Your Son. —Sper

Often the clouds of sorrow reveal the sunshine of His face. —Jasper
