Recent times have seen many things that confound our sense of sanity. Things seem to be upside down and inside out from normal. It is distressing to see everything twisted out of shape and distorted beyond recognition. In some cases hate is displayed openly with caustic results. Hate cannot drive out hate. (Luke 11:15, Matthew 12:24, Mark 3:22) Only Love can do that. (1 John 4:8-9, 1 John 4:16) Life will never be without differences. Our lives must not be governed with hate or discord. The love our Lord wants us to practice is that of compassion, understanding and cooperation. (Leviticus 19:18) Love thy neighbor as yourself. He did not say an if, and, or but this or that. It was a flat command. It is the ultimate summation of the commandments. (Romans 13:9) My last post was to pray for all things that are a concern for us, for our society. There is a lot to be concerned about in our world. I for one am not God. He is far and above anything I am. His strength is all that sustains me in this world. This world would take that from me if it could and it is trying to do so. The word the bible teaches is that man is not in charge but God is in charge. (Psalms 82:1) Humans are not in charge, God is in charge. What made this country great was a spirit of cooperation and respect. The motto "In God We Trust" is not followed much in our society as witnessed by the animosity rift in the population. My heart breaks at the lack of love we show for those around us. This time of pandemic does not help but it should not deter us from caring. If we cared more about the suffering of others the world would be a much different place.
Today I am sharing the second image from Sugar Nellie. It is sad that they have closed up shop. Their images are my all time favorites. This Image is also of Victoria.
The weather here has been cold with a bit more snow than we have had in a few years. On the 22nd of February we had about three inches in just over three hours. Here is a few snap shots of it coming down.
Thermometer on the shed is reading in the high 20's with the snow coming down fairly steady. these picks were taken through the upstairs window screens so they will appear grainy.
At this point it was snowing very hard, thus the almost foggy look to the image.
That is it for this post. Thank you for the visit. God Bless and remember to "Love The Details."
