The Living Water

-

Amid the dark and dreary colors, is a splash of red! This little cardinal is taking a bath! Thanks to KRK, we have another beautiful picture! This picture reminds me of many things. I sometimes get inspired by pictures, or things that I see. The water represents THE LIVING WORD. We too get dirty, just like this little bird. It's hard not to, in this world that we live in. I'm not talking about physically dirty, but spiritually dirty. If we could see everything in the spiritual realm, we would probably pull up the covers and stay in bed. But there are also wonderful things in the spiritual realm...like God's Holy Angels, who are here to serve us. Then of course the most important person on earth, is the Holy Spirit. Jesus sent Him, when He ascended back up to heaven after His resurrection.

After Jesus was resurrected after His death on the cross, He was on the earth quite awhile before going back to His Father. He talked to the disciples, and taught them more during this time. When it was time for Him to finally leave for good, His disciples were sad to see Him go. So he told them that He had to leave, so that He could send them the Comforter. He also told them that the Comforter would also be their teacher. He said they had no need for an earthly teacher, because the Holy Spirit would teach them in the way they should go.

Never put your faith in people, but in God. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to teach us. Some say, that was a long time ago, so it doesn't apply for today. God is the SAME yesterday, today, and tomorrow. What He has said and done, way back when, is still in effect for us today. The Holy Spirit is still here with us, offering His teachings and guidance. He's the best teacher you could ever find! Bathe yourself in the Word of God, just as this Cardinal is bathing itself in the water. Then listen for that still, small voice. He is here and always will be....offering His help and guidance.

The Evil Pencil Cactus

My daughter Kimberly, my husband, and I went to Prairie Gardens a few months ago. We loved going through all the different tents full of flowers! My daughter and her husband just bought a new home, which is contemporary. We were looking for inside plants that would look good in her home. We came across an unusual plant she nor I had ever seen! It had "contemporary" written all over it! It was called a "Pencil Cactus". She and I fell in love with it! When we showed it to my husband, he turned up his nose at it and exclaimed, "You're not buying that thing are you?" My daughter and I said "why not?" He told us it was an evil looking plant! Hmmm , never heard of an evil plant before! His words resounded in my head days later. I helped my daughter load the plant in the cart, as it was about 3-4 foot tall, and it's pencils very slender. We didn't want to break it! As we put it in the cart, I noticed a sticky milky substance all over my han

News media taking pictures, and interviewing people. Firemen on top of church next door, spraying the Inn with hoses of water. In this picture, you can see the whole back of the Inn is missing. If you look closely, that's the rear half of the roof slanting downward.

Saga of the Cootie!

For those of you lucky enough to miss this melt down, it was quite funny...although hard on the ears. It all started one day when she had gotten all the cooties out and put them together. Then, she put four of their little chairs in a row, and placed a cootie under three of the chairs. Then, she laid down under the fourth. I unwittingly initiated the first melt down that day by assuming that she was pretending to be one of the cooties...apparently that was not what she intended. Needless to say, things really hit the fan when I suggested I try pulling a "cootie leg" off her....all in jest of course. In the end, there was screaming, crying, and inisting that she wasn't a cootie and did not have a cootie leg. After much yelling, I ditched the cootie leg, suggesting we take the rather loud cootie's "mouth" off...this elicited a renewed fit....with a vengeance. To this day, if you suggest she's a cootie, you may as well take cover..... Posted by the Mother o
