When I saw this today, September 30th
I just had to share the image and the link to Meet Me in the Meadow
{one of my favorite places to "Meet" with the Lord}
and because it's copyrighted (I'm sure) it can not remain on my blog
but the verse was Psalm 23:5 NKJV (just one portion of it)
however it's Roy Lessin's words that I want to capture
on the FALL photo
| "His oil heals and soothes, CALMS and relieves and causes His face to shine upon you." Roy Lessin |
There it is my 2024 One Word
CALM
and in case I have to remove the image of "Autumn Leaves"
here are some from northern Minnesota
{the leaves have not changed yet where I live}
Yes ... the BEAUTY of Autumn
brings me
AWE
and
CALM
<>
"How do we pursue BEAUTY in the Lord - ...?"
[the beginning of the last paragraph in this week's devotion by CCR]
And CCR has a BEAUTIFUL answer
before and after this sentence
"BEAUTY from the inside out, that is His heart."
followed by the last sentence of this devotion that captures
the essence of
BEAUTY
just like the fall for me
{I can never get enough!}
<>
Be sure to follow the link to "Meet Me in the Meadow" and especially read the Prayer.
Perfect for me ... and the start of this week, as we turn the page to
OCTOBER 2024
and I have one week (9 days) to enjoy the last days of being 69
heading into a new decade
of the 70s
(oh my)
{definitely not a day I want to celebrate}
yet fall has a way of making my heart want to sing
May I find more
CALM
in the autumn of my life
and the rest of 2024

into
BEAUTY
in His Heart
Beautiful! Beautiful pictures, beautiful reflection, and beautiful post from my beautiful sis! Fall is my favorite season, too, and in this changing season (in more ways than one) my prayer is for all the beauty of our great God to overflow on you until your body, mind, and spirit are refreshed and renewed!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much sis! The same prayer for 💚 and that His BEAUTY will shine & brighten any dim part with the glorious, refreshing flow over you & yours from the top to the bottom, filling & refilling with His Spirit to overflow in your heart "from the inside out" - warming you with His sweet Presence throughout this season of change & BEAUTY in the difficult times as well as the wonderful ones - just because Jesus is the essence of all that is beautiful - just as I see you, such a beautiful reflection of Jesus through & through; you carry His heart & light well to others, like me - you always have & always will - true & faithful are you, because Jesus clearly lives in you & shines BEAUTY to broken souls in your sweet southern way, love & encouraging! Again, I thank you & thank God for you! How you touch & lift me up & know from your own journey just what I may need. Thank you for your 🙏🏼!
Delete🎶Give us OIL in our lamps, keep it burning, burning burning. Give us oil in our lamps we pray...🎶
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that we both love the autumn & music! They just go so well together.
Thanks also for the song you shared on YV - that He's in control 🙏🏼
🎶In His time, in His time, He makes all
things beautiful in His time ... "
And "the autumn leaves ... 🍁
