“They will follow the LORD; he will roar like a lion.  When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.”

Hosea 11:10

Do I look fierce enough?

The Lion

If you are attacked by a lion:

Find fresh underpants,

lay on the ground quite still,

pretend you are very ill,

keep like that day after day,

perhaps the lion will go away.

by Spike Milligan

“It’s the circle of life, and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love.  Till we find our place, on the path unwinding. In the circle, the circle of life! “

Pumpkin

We bought a fat orange pumpkin
The plumpest sort they sell.
We neatly scooped the inside out
And only left the shell.
We carved a funny funny-face
Of silly shape and size,
A pointy nose, a jagged mouth
And two enormous eyes.
We set it in a window
And we put a candle in,
Then lit it up for all to see
Our jack-o’lantern grin.

Pumpkin pumpkin round and fat.
Turned into a jack-o’Lantern
Just like that!

“For we are God’s masterpiece.

He has created us anew in Christ Jesus,

so we can do the good things

He planned for us long ago.”

Ephesians 2:10

Resting on the observation deck, (or lawn!) Giggles.

It is obvious we love our dog, Helen.

And her smile continues to show us, “I love you, too!”

Love helps us to feel valued.

And safe from harm.

But do we guard the love we’ve been given?

Do we protect it from harm?

Eagle-eye Helen found a surprise visitor to our backyard the other day as she watched over the grounds we dwell upon.

A delightful feathered friend,

who helped to remind us just how much

GOD LOVES US

as He watches over each of thee in this very same way!

A visitor to North Star, the red-tailed falcon.

The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun will not smite you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The Lord will [a]protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
The Lord will [b]guard your going out and your coming in
From this time forth and forever.  Psalm 121: 5-8

God is always watching over us!

He is our guardian and His eyes never miss anything that is going on in our life.

God’s eyes are always glued to us!

He never grows weary from observing us.

(And nothing He sees is going to make Him stop loving us.)

He will only watch all the more, in eager anticipation that we might see the love He desires to share, and choose (ourselves) to protect this endless-love from harm!

Today, may we take comfort in this truth and rest in His watchful eye!

And remember to be grateful for those He sends to watch over us with Him!

hugs n’ blessings to all, as you place your trust in Him!

“I have opened My Heart as a living fountain of mercy. Let all souls draw life from it. Let them approach this sea of mercy with great trust” (St. Faustina’s Diary, 1520).
