BUT A POOR REFLECTION: The writing is on the wall

The writing is on the wall

Our girls took advantage of the fact that their bedroom will be completely changed. They chalked some drawings and texts on the wallpaper of their bedroom - and I made some pictures of their art work just before the builders started their work!
Sosha loves football and you can still tell where her bed once was... Of course she took all the posters with her sporting heroes off the wall after these pictures were taken. The text in the second pic states: I'm God's Original Creation. So true. (Click pics to enlarge.)

Carol Douglas said...: I assume the faces were drawn by Sosha? Your girl has ability. Maybe you should invest in paper to further her art career...; 9/24/2007 8:02 pm

Pascalle just started an art course - but all three of our kids love to draw. Robin prefers to use the computer, but he is quite good at it too!; 9/24/2007 10:51 pm

God loves us

Have you ever wondered why God gives so much? We could exist on far less. He could have left the world flat and grey; we wouldn’t have known the difference. But he didn’t. He splashed orange in the sunrise and cast the sky in blue. And if you love to see geese as they gather, chances are you’ll see that too. Did he have to make the squirrel’s tail furry? Was he obliged to make the birds sing? And the funny way that chickens scurry or the majesty of thunder when it rings? Why give a flower fragrance? Why give food its taste? Could it be he loves to see that look upon your face?

I do not condemn theologians wholesale, but it is unfortunately the fashion in Western thinking to doubt and deny everything. I protest this tendency. I never advise anyone to consult theologians, because all too often they have completely lost all sense of spiritual reality. They can explain Greek words and all that, but they spend too much time among their books and not enough time with the Master in prayer. It is not that I oppose all education, but education without life is certainly dangerous. You must stop examining spiritual truths like dry bones! You must break open the bones and take in the life-giving marrow.

Oswald Chambers

In the Bible clouds are always associated with God. Clouds are the sorrows, sufferings, or providential circumstances, within or without our personal lives, which actually seem to contradict the sovereignty of God. Yet it is through these very clouds that the Spirit of God is teaching us how to walk by faith. If there were never any clouds in our lives, we would have no faith. "The clouds are the dust of His feet" (Nahum 1:3). They are a sign that God is there. What a revelation it is to know that sorrow, bereavement, and suffering are actually the clouds that come along with God! God cannot come near us without clouds— He does not come in clear-shining brightness. (Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, July 29th)
