Dear Emily,

I also write poetry, and songs.

Your poems have excellent meter and rhyme and come from the heart.

FR is a great place to share them, as there are wonderful people who hang out here, and appreciate you!

[newb2012]

Thank you! Emily appreciates all the encouragement and blessings from Amy’s place.

The Final Picture

November 12, 2014

Read: Isaiah 40:21-31

Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things. —Isaiah 40:26

Bible in a Year:
Jeremiah 51-52; Hebrews 9

What started as an empty 11-acre field in Belfast, Northern Ireland, ended up as the largest land portrait in the British Isles. Wish, by artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada, is made from 30,000 wooden pegs, 2,000 tons of soil, 2,000 tons of sand, and miscellaneous items such as grass, stones, and string.

At the beginning, only the artist knew what the final artwork was going to look like. He hired workers and recruited volunteers to haul materials and move them into place. As they worked, they saw little indication that something amazing was about to emerge. But it did. From the ground, it doesn’t look like much. But from above, viewers see a huge portrait—the smiling face of a little girl.

God is doing something on a grander scale in the world. He’s the artist who sees the final picture. We’re His “fellow workers” (1 Cor. 3:9) who are helping to make it a reality. Through the prophet Isaiah, God reminded His people that it is He who “sits above the circle of the earth” and “stretches out the heavens like a curtain” (Isa. 40:22). We can’t see the final picture, but we continue on in faith, knowing that we’re part of an amazing work of art—one that is being created on earth but will be best seen from heaven.

While sometimes I think I can see the big picture,
Lord, my heart knows it sees so little. I’m
thankful that You are working out Your beautiful
will in this world, and I can trust You.

God is using us to help create a masterpiece.

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday To
Amy's Place

"Just before the death of flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season
When nature is all aglow."

32? Brrrrrr...that’s FREEZING! :-)

[geologist]

Every year it happens in my flowerbeds the chrysanthemum's are opening their first blooms and a hard freeze happens. It concurred last night. 28 degrees, less than a dozen had begun to open, and a hard freeze stopped the process once again. Still they continue to live. I am ever hopeful of their beauty happening for a few days. Thank the LORD for flowers. God bless America. amen.

[MEG33]

Brrrr...Hoping your mums open soon, geo.
I wish you a blessed day. Amen
