From a Hallmark card I received this week
from a life-long friend:
I apologize, but I am new at the rules of writing and posting.
After posting the writing from a Hallmark card,
a writer friend advised to take down the post
without first contacting Hallmark for permission.
The Oak Tree
If you are going through trials and
tests of faith lately like I have, then I hope you will find this message of
encouragement a blessing as I did.
How blessed it the man
who
Does not walk in the
counsel of the wicked.
Nor stand in the path
of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of
scoffers!
But his delight is in
the law of the Lord,
And In His law he
meditates day and night.
He will be like a tree
firmly planted by streams of water,
And its leaf does not
wither;
And in whatever he
does, he prospers.
Psalms 1:1-3
Ok, I've not seen you since Febuary, but I think you managed to fine your way into my brain! I've had a rough few days and needed this today. I needed to be reminded of just how strong I really am. Love you, and see you in just a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteGod showing us are strength is so encouraging. I pray blessings and wisdom for the days ahead, my friend.
DeleteGreat analogy/wisdom MaryJane! The roots, where the nourishment gets taken in, are not disturbed by outside influences. Thanks for this reminder.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cyn! Blessings on your week Girlfriend!!!!
DeleteRegardless of season Mary Jane the tree is still being fed and growing from the roots and much of Gods work we don't see as its going on behind the scenes until the new season begins. He feeds us and strengthen us , we are the trees planted by the waters edge.
ReplyDeleteAMEN! As the oak, our growth may be slow but if we stay the course and steadily move forward, we will become everything He desires for us...strong, courageous and a canopy of fruitfulness.
DeleteI Found this really encouraging and motivating and no matter if you copy this from other card or blog.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you were blessed. I pray each week that those whom God wants to bless will find and read the post. Blessings on your week and your work for Him!
DeleteThat was great! thanks for sharing this good information....very good job my friend.
