Beautiful poem and picture, Trisham!

I will attempt to make a poem by subbing the kitty for my doggie....

The Doberman Stare

Intensely he stares at my plate
Believing if he stares it will be his
I toss piece after piece of tenderloin his way
Fair trade for my loyal companion

Whew! I need a nap now!

What an interesting picture of the eagle’s nest. I hope the little ones hatch and thrive. We are expecting snow Sunday night into Monday up to 3 inches (southern WI). We have eagles around here, more if you go to the Wisconsin River. I see an eagle once a year around here if I am lucky. Lots of hawks, kestrels and other lovely birds.

Cheers and Good Luck to Momma Eagle!

((HUGS)) back to you Trish, what lovely flowers!!

[potlatch]

So nice to ‘see’ you TCP! I’m so far south in Texas that I’ve never seen an Eagle. I did wonder about the baby Eagles too. I saw that more snow was expected and I’m sure you’re tired of it. Take care.

The Family Of Faith

March 22, 2015

You had become dear to us. —1 Thessalonians 2:8

During the 1980s, a singles’ class at our church became a close-knit family for many people who had lost a spouse through divorce or death. When someone needed to move, class members packed boxes, carried furniture, and provided food. Birthdays and holidays were no longer solitary events as faith and friendship merged into an ongoing relationship of encouragement. Many of those bonds forged during adversity three decades ago continue to flourish and sustain individuals and families today.

Paul’s letter to the followers of Jesus in Thessalonica paints a picture of life-giving relationships in God’s family. “We were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children” (1 Thess. 2:7). “For you remember, [brothers and sisters], our labor and toil . . . that we might not be a burden to any of you” (v.9). “We exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children” (v.11). Like mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters, Paul and his associates shared the gospel and their lives with these fellow believers who “had become dear” to them (v.8).

In God’s family of faith, He provides mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers for us. The Lord gives His joy as we share our lives together in His grace and love.

Father, You’ve called us to serve one another. Give me a heart willing to accept the care of others. May I ask for help when I am in need and respond with a heart of grace to others when they ask me for help.

God loves you and me; let’s love one another.

INSIGHT: Paul often talks about the relationship that followers of Christ have with each other. This relationship is so close that he compares it to the parts of the body working together (1 Cor. 12). Jesus says that people will know we are His followers by the way we treat one another (John 13:35).
