Our Geese ©2024

1 Peter 1:22
"Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently."
The geese and ducks were outside my studio window overlooking the lake below in East Texas 12 years ago. I grabbed my camera and head out to snap some shots of them gathering. I could not have ask them to pose any better for this photograph! We are seriously considering moving back to East Texas. We are not sure we could leave our grandchildren here as attached as we are. I told Terry we could put a pond in the back yard here in the city and hope the ducks stop by... but he laughed at me.
We are but children of Our Father in Heaven. Each morning as we wake, we give thanks for our rest in the night and ask for guidance in the day ahead. It reminds me of small children gathering and sitting at the feet of their grandmother as the day begins and chores are handed out! The young ones seek the wisdom and love of their grandmother, just the same as we seek humbly the love and wisdom of our Father in heaven and hope for His blessing on our day before we break our fast.
We do not leave our prayers at home, we must reach out and pray for others. Pray for family, neighbors and those in need. Ask blessings in their behalf for the Lord to lead them this day. There are many in our lives that do not know the Lord, and if they have children, those children do not know the Lord or have a mother or father to pray over them each morning and each night before they sleep. Bless these children Lord, and let peace settle softly on their home and their lives... and may they know you one day as we do.
The unknown in the world rises before us, but your love surrounds and protects us. Keep us looking up toward your kingdom and your light this day. Bring us all home together as the sun sets this evening and the day closes out to nightfall. My heart is home with the Lord as Terry and I walk this life journey together on earth. While it may not include living at the lake, our memories there are precious and often thought of over the noise, the dirt and traffic of living in the city. God is with us here. We continue to abide with the Lord as there are changes in our life right now that we never expected to be. Not ever. The Lord's hand is upon through this situation and we must trust.
Please keep our family in prayer as this 'unknown' has cast a shadow across us all and sorrow in our hearts.
We ask all in Jesus' precious name. Amen.

Eph 1: 17-18 " I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people..."
