The Rights Of God
[God] expected it to bring forth good grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes. —Isaiah 5:2
|
 Isaiah's song picturing Israel as the Lord's vineyard teaches us that God has a right to expect love, worship, and obedience from those He blesses. Unfortunately, like people in Isaiah's day, many of us show little gratitude. And we deliberately break His moral laws. When we behave this way, God has a right to act in judgment.
History reveals that whenever a nation ignores God and rejects His Word, it reaps a bitter harvest. On this Independence Day, we in the United States are reminded again of the liberties we enjoy. For these we should be deeply grateful. But sometimes we take them for granted, displaying little concern for those who are not so abundantly blessed. We are becoming a nation of individuals who selfishly insist on our own rights, making unfair demands on others and not thinking of their welfare. Worst of all, in this clamor for personal freedom, we hear very little about the rights of God. We should recognize that He is the "Lord of the vineyard." He expects us to produce the fruits of love and obedience instead of the wild grapes of ingratitude and wickedness (Isaiah 5:2). As we thank God for our rights, let's not forget the rights of God. —Herb Vander Lugt
So long as faith is kept alive,
Nation and people will survive;
God keep them, always, everywhere:
The hearth, the Book, the place of prayer. —Anon.
True freedom is not in having our own way, but in yielding to God's way.

Happy Independence Day, Weinie. Keep those critters organized today. We are having a real celebration--parade, and hotdogs (not one word about that!) and fireworks tonight.
It's a real day for wagging tails and flags!

Happy Independence Day!
As you enjoy the fireworks tonight,
remember our young men and women
who are far from home.
An active duty sailor asked that I wave a flag
for the guys in the sand.
We did that Friday night, now let's take
this opportunity to thank them all.

Oh wow, you're becoming a graphic artist, Amy. Very nice, thank you.
I'm enjoying the day, and having a BBQ with my neighbors. We all had to bring something and my neighbor is doing the cooking. I bought some wine and beer, hehe. I check out their BBQ from time to time or when they shout my name to have a drink.
So I'm in and out but always here. (Ain't that nice?)
To: JustAmy
Amy I hope you do not mind but I am borrowing your fireworks happy 4th July gif for the dose tonight.
As you can see I am posting as snugs2 had major problem with computer and basically because cannot remember my password had to re-sign up.
Happy 4th July everyone

To: JustAmy
Excepted from the novel I am writing,
I, Palpatine:
I sail through the rough seas of time,
And find there are obstacles still to climb
Find there are fights still left to win
Find there are challenges yet to begin.
I see a difficult road winding on
My path, as pitted as it is long.
But I have one comfort in this strife:
You are all that is beautiful in my life.
I argue, I fight, and yet I stand
I calm myself and make my plans
I collect my thoughts and find the way
And know that it will come right some day
I have faith that in the end we will win,
It's your belief that lets me begin.
I can ignore that Fate may stab like a knife:
For you are all that is beautiful in my life.
I look at the world with focused eyes
With a spirit that never says die
I will not surrender, not now, not ever
Loving you shows me some things last forever
I may get hurt, but I will still carry on
Loving you proves some things are always strong
And though pain and betrayal may be rife
They are nothing compared to the beauty in my life.
Regards, Ivan
