God Bless You For Your Thoughtfulness!
Lol, I Love that Description of his Song! And it's Amazing how much Energy those Little Wrens have! (I could Use Some of that Energy for my Housework!)
I agree, Kitty Mittens, and here in VT at least they usher in "the Season of Singing!" We Vermonters know warmth and sun and length of daylight, the sweet smell of thawing earth and the savory sight of green and growing things - all this is carried on the wings of the songs of the returning birds!
When I think of how the birds so praise God, and how the trees of the forest will "clap their hands," and how the rocks themselves would have "cried out" had not the people shouted hosannas to the Son of David, then I take hold of every moment I have to use my life and breath to praise my Lord and God!
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!!! (Psalm 150)
I've found that despite all that is going on in our world I've had an almost constant smile lately because I so know my Lord (and so trust Him) and so oft see Him at His work! I make melody in my heart to the Lord almost constantly, like a bride humming to herself as she prepares for her wedding ceremony...My prince is coming!
(PS- Friends know that I am "a clapper" (: When I hear of the work of the Lord or want to celebrate Him I can't help but give Him applause!)
(PPS - I should add that I have been virtually pain-free for months now, and the relief of that lifted burden alone is enough to cause outrageous rejoicing! This is my prayer for you, dear one. Because I learned to praise under that weight - and other extremities, too - having now had the weight reduced my praise is almost uncontainable: how He uses everything and truly works it all together for good and glory!)
I just love the pic you posted!
Yuuuummmmm!!!
Thank you for the hugs and the FRiendship!
I just love your graphics! Thanks so much for the delivery! (:
I was just meditating over this very theme recently:
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
~2 Peter 1:3-8

That sounds wonderful
I take hold of every moment I have to use my life and breath to praise my Lord and God!
I have Written that Down and Saved it, King's Dove, so I can Read it Daily; it has Brought me Inspiriation and Raised my Own Praise to our God!
To be Pain-Free! Oh, Dear One, how I'm Joyful in Spirit that your Pain is Gone!! Thank you for Praying that I may One Day be the Same!
My Prince is Coming!
And may it be Soon, our King and our God, because we Long to be in Your Presence! Maranatha, our Lord Come, and Gather the Bride Thou hast Betrothed to Thyself in Holiness, Everlasting Love, and Grace! We Love Thee, King Jesus our Lord, and Worship Thee in Spirit and in Truth! Glory be to Thee for Endless Ages Without End, our Merciful Master of Kingly Grace!
That is very cute. THANK YOU!! ;O)
YOU'RE WELCOME! :)
