A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....10-12,13,14-07....T.G.I.F. at the Finest

[Diver Dave]

We've been having some rain these past few days, but with each storm, the sun peeks through providing a Kodak moment...

A Personal Friend of mine provides these Kodak moments on a regular basis. I just lift my eyes heavenward and say, " Thank You, Lord."

[La Enchiladita]

Beautiful, Diver Dave, a double rainbow... isn’t it awesome? Thank you for showing this to us!

I get so excited to see a rainbow. We had a nice rain overnight in SoCal; perhaps we’ll have more this season than last.

[La Enchiladita]

You will ace it, Rus, I am sure...:)

[MEG33]

Good luck, Mayor!

Beautiful, Diver!

Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God;
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea,
I will uphold thee with the right hand of my
righteousness.

Face-To-Face

READ: Isaiah 6:1-10

I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up. —Isaiah 6:1

Being face-to-face with famous people can take your breath away. As a sportswriter, I’ve interviewed basketball stars David Robinson and Avery Johnson. And I’ve stood in a garage with Joe Gibbs, racecar owner and pro football coach.

A person can easily feel inadequate when talking with bigger-than-life people. We can even develop an awe and respect for athletes and other stars who make us feel insignificant.

But that’s nothing when compared to what Isaiah saw "in the year that King Uzziah died" (Isa. 6:1). Isaiah experienced something so magnificent and terrifying that nothing could compare to it—he stood face-to-face with God!

In a vision, God showed Isaiah who He really was. What the prophet saw greatly affected him. He saw God’s majesty. He gained a fresh understanding of God’s holiness. He saw the contrast between his sinful self and God’s perfection. He heard God’s call to service, and he answered it.

Today, we can see God in His Word and in the Spirit’s work in and through us. And we can commune with Him through prayer. But one day in heaven we will see our Lord face-to-face (1 John 3:2). Now that will take our breath away! 

Face to face! O blissful moment!
Face to face—to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer—
Jesus Christ who loves me so.  —Breck

God’s awesome presence is both convicting and comforting.

Bible in One Year:   Isaiah 43-44; 1 Thessalonians 2

Very, very beautiful picture and scripture this morning.

Oh Lord! How magnificent is ALL of your creation!

A Butterfly Thread

[jaycee]

Bass Lake, Blowing Rock, N.C. This is a nice little day trip from my city to Blowing Rock. My husband and I, with friends, made this trip many times, especially in Spring and Fall. There is a lot to see in Blowing Rock. And a great place to see the colors of the leaves in the Fall.

[jaycee]

Dolly, your butterflies are beautiful. Saw these a long time ago. I will be looking at your Butterfly thread later when I have time. Going to try to get to church. Feeling tired this am. Have a great day.

[GodBlessUSA]

Fantastic! How gorgeous Meg! :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Beautiful Dollly!
Nature is a magnificent creation :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Must have been a wonderful trip to take Jaycee. :) I’d love to spend hours there! It looks so beautiful and peaceful.

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning The Mayor :) Thank you. I wrote a huge post to you about how my Dad had a discussion with me about this lesson when I was a child and famous people. But the post became way too long. ;) I enjoyed the scripture! Thanks!

Have a Blessed Sunday Everyone...

[GodBlessUSA]

[debm29palms]

Just wanted to drop by and wish EVERYONE a great SUNNY Sunday :)

My daughter broke her arm yesterday and we spent the afternoon/evening in the ER. Not such a good day :( Unfortunately, it was a bed break AND her right arm and she is right handed. It’s going to be tough. But she was a TROOPER and did great. She was a tough one :)

By the way, she broke her arm because she was riding her bike and swerved to avoid hitting her little brother. Tough, but a sweetie!

[Kitty Mittens]

Beautiful Graphics, Finest FRiends, and our Lord Grant us all a Blessed Day.

debm29palms, your Daughter is in my Prayers for a Rapid Mending of her Arm. Everyone Please Keep Alpha-8-25-02's Wife in your Prayers for Healing; she has been Very Ill.

~Butterfly and Flowers on my Shepherd's Ranch~

Sing unto the LORD;
For He hath Done Excellent Things!
(Is.12:5)

[debm29palms]

Thank you so much :)

Praying for Alpha-8-25-02!

Have a Blessed and Sunny day :)
