I slept all afternoon,,LOL...We had a slight dusting of snow earlier...There is just

Thank you for coming by today and sharing your comments, devotion, music
and blessings,
Healing prayers for hurting FRiends
May you be blessed with a lovely evening and restful sleep.

Thank you, TCP..Sun on fresh snow..a beautiful sight! I know how you must yearn for spring to really come..
We are close to record low temps tonight..It was in the 80s yesterday.

My pleasure, Rus...I am so happy you enjoy them.

Read: Psalm 27:4-14

Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart. —Psalm 27:14

Bible in a Year:
Numbers 28-30; Mark 8:22-38

When the Polaroid SX-70 camera was introduced in 1972, it revolutionized photography. An article by Owen Edward in Smithsonian magazine described the camera as “a miracle of physics, optics and electronics.” When a photo was snapped, “a blank square would emerge from the front of the camera and develop before our eyes.” People were sold on speedy, immediate results.

Oswald Chambers saw a strong connection between our desire for the immediate and lust: “Lust simply means, ‘I must have this at once’; it may be a bodily appetite or a spiritual possession. . . . I cannot wait for God’s time, God is too indifferent; that is the way lust works.”

In Psalm 27, David wrote of his waiting on God during a time of great trouble when there was no solution in sight. Instead of giving in to despair, he maintained his confidence that he would “see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living” (v.13).

We live in a world that worships the immediate. When it seems there is no sign of our deepest longings being fulfilled, the psalmist urges us to cling to the eternal God. “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!” (v.14).

Help me, O Lord, to be content! My lips to seal,
To every vain desire, each whim—instead to kneel,
Acknowledging Thee, Lord and King, and in that place
To kneel, to pray, to wait until I see Thy face! —Adams

The answer to our craving for the immediate is to focus on the eternal.

[Jane Long]

Good Monday morning, Meg!! It’s a very chilly 28º, here, and our saucer magnolias don’t even have any buds on them, yet!

It’s a beans and cornbread day, over here.

Have a great day. Stay warm. Let’s hope Spring will find us, soon, and stay ;-)

[MEG33]

I love the white ones, too..They bloom much later here.
Blessings to you.
(((HUGS)))

[trisham]

Gorgeous! I just know that some day, spring will be here. :)

[MEG33]

YUM...I have to soak the beans..I have a ham bone in the freezer from Christmas and will make 15 bean soup tonight or tomorrow..
Thank you, Jane ...Amen..I’m ready for spring!!!

[MEG33]

Thank you, trish...Spring will come..but it is mighty timid about it this year. Here it comes and goes...allowing old man winter back.

Hi Amy!
Blake is strange...but I like him anyway! LOL!

[JustAmy]

I always have to read Blake two or three times. LOL

I need to power down this morning. Wishing you a lovely Spring-like Monday.

[The Mayor]

Can’t wait to see flowers like that after this winter that will not end. Thanks Meg!

[JustAmy]

Happy Monday, FRiends.

I need to power down for awhile this morning.
My computer has been acting strange since the brown-outs last week.
I've needed to restart it a couple of times a day.
I'm going to start the tune-up to see if that helps.

Wishing some of you a great spring-like day ... Wishing others a day of temps warming up.
Stay warm, All.

Have a beautiful Day! :-)
