And The Glory Of The Lord

Today and tomorrow are hallowed be thy name, Jesus, in your holy name we come because of your birth long ago and through your mercy you have taken away our many sins so that we can live in peace because we are a part of you and we are happy with what you are planning for all of us. Love abides and does no wrong and we love our neighbor as we love our self and that satisfies all your laws.

The future victory is sure, In Your Name Jesus, Almighty God and Everlasting Father, Peace On Earth and Good Will Toward Men, Women, and Children, and Your Animals. Peace and love abides on Earth As It Is In Heaven. Amen and Amen!!!

What Would You Do Without God?

Trumpeter swan Crex-7

Swans are a very elegant bird and on this occasion I was enjoying this pair that had recently returned from their spring migration, coming back to Crex Meadows in Grantsburg, WI ready to start a new family. Now, these birds are gathering in larger group with their cygnets flying and preparing, and when the first very cold weather comes freezing all the water then the trumpeter swans like many of the sandhill cranes will start their migration. It is interesting that the birds wait for that moment to leave.

Last night moving the clock back signifies, like the cold weather for the birds, that winter is here and we are in for a very long time of snow and cold before spring returns with her warmer weather. Painting during the winter months is very good keeping me very busy and I so enjoy painting. The art business has been an interesting experience for the past 6 years, not unlike any other work, requires a lot of efforts and constant care and living in a very small community where we have abundant wildlife helps me to study the animals and practice painting. As a painter the developing and growing continues so there is not ever a time when the work stops.

This year has been more a year of what I call “free will commissions,” these are special paintings that I have painted for others without them knowing, and later sharing this work as a gift with them and no exchange of money. The art has been bought and paid for a long time ago and so they do not owe me a thing. What I have learned about people when I do this is they are not sure what to do, the world has taught them so well that is not how things work, really, from who’s book did that come from? Not my favorite book the Bible. Hmmm, seems like they have new things, or should I say old things to relearn and they have a very long way to go, but it is a start and I am grateful to paint for others with no strings attached. What some folks have done is make some donations to me and that is nice and I will use to help with material costs. I paint wildlife life and love painting to praise God for all his blessings and all his creations big and small and everything in-between. It is a way that I can stay very close to God and honor him in all I do with my work as a painter. My wish is that what ever work you do, that you always honor God, do the best you can, and pray for all our children and their future that might be brighter than our past, and that there will be peace on earth and good will toward man, woman and child, and the animals too.

For Each Of You, Our Veterans-God’s Soldiers,The Faithful

Blackeye susans-3

 

bouquet-3-C

 

NV foal-4

The good news is upon all of us, regardless of today’s press, I know that God is on our side, Amen!!! The 3 exclamation marks mean The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, now once you see that I do not have to write it out each time, Amen !!! see how easy that is.

You probably think what is Jimmy doing with these 3 images today, 2 Black Eye Susan, cut mums in a vase and a young foal just starting life, what do they all have in common, is there a common denominator in all this? And how do Veterans fit into this type of story, why does Jimmy keep blessing the veterans, why o why? Isn’t it better to bring things to light while there is time, and if you recall what happened to Humpty Dumpty.

I have many, many friends near and far and this is possibly the beginning of one of my most important stories in a month. Abiding in God’s love and go where he calls seems easy enough, but how many of you listen and go do as the soft voice of the Lord ask of you? I guarantee will change your life for the better, trust your inner voice and the first impression is the correct one, don’t let that SOB of a negative critic jump in there, shut’em down right on the spot, and go do your first order that came to you, you’ll start to know that God is in charge once you do.

Getting back to the story at hand, you say Jimmy I do not have all day to read this long winded blog, ok take your time and spend 1 minute today and 1 minute tomorrow, however long, where are you going to be in such a hurry, but in no time you will learn and get the message, no need to rush we have all eternity, Jesus is in control of time now and for ever more and I thank God for his eternal message and while Heaven is awesome, he has asked me to come to earth to abide in love and kindness, no matter how the wind blows, and like our fellow veterans, having spent 6 years in the Army, every Veteran knows how the winds blow while serving, whew and how the wind continues to blow for our veterans. The Lord as our Commander in Chief has already paid our ransom in red blood, on the cross, so I thank you Jesus for this love to save me and all people everywhere regardless of their accepting Jesus, Jesus is still Lord over all, no exceptions, not even one.

Two Scriptures today, 1. Colossians Chapter 1, verse 12 and Jeremiah Chapter 17, verse 7.

Now back to the 3 paintings, the Black Eye Susan, mums, and young foal. Any guesses, probably a few?

Like the human race we are sort of in the fall or autumn of and moving toward winter. The Black Eye Susan common wildflower gracing our fields in late summer has the very deep purples and yellow, there are 2 of them. In the mums there are 3 white blossoms in a green vase and the young foal having been just born in the spring in May reminds me that new life continues to come faithfully not listen to the critic, who would try to convince there is no reason, since everything eventually dies, but remember this is the Lord’s Earth, that he created and everything in the air, water and earth and we are to celebrate his gift of life, to live abundantly and when things get tough, I defer immediately to Jesus and in his name all is possible.

The first painting 2 flowers the second painting 3 flowers so that is 23, and Psalm 23 comes to mind, and the foal with 4 legs reminds me of all living things are possible because of, 3 in 1-!!! and every living thing is connected to !!! making 4 in 1, hence the 4 legs that hold the grown horse to the earth are possible because of God.

May everyone have peace and love, and If I can paint for you speak up, I love to work.

” Birhthday Wishes ” To Mary Runestrand

The years come and the years go and father time keeps moving and as the sun rises each morning, God grants us the wisdom of the ages to live our life in abundance and  happiness, most importantly in freedom.

Mary has stood the test of time seeing WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq War and the list goes on and on, but most importantly since I have known her starting in 1995 until today, she has never said one word against me and while that doesn’t sound like much listen to how people talk about their own family let alone a son-in-law who is only related since being married to her daughter. I love Mary like my own mom, who has since passed away in August 2009 at the age of 89, just short of hitting 90 years of age, and that is awesome too.Mary’s prayers are heart felt and I know when she prays, they are soft and full of love for Marge and I, we both love her with all our hearts.

Happy Birthday next week on Sunday, October 27 th, Mary being 92 is just so wonderful and awesome, and we’ll celebrate and have a great time. Here is a painting that I am gifting to her, an original oil painting on a 9″ x 12″ x 3/8″ True Gesso panel, and is called, ” Noel” for the coming of Jesus and this orchid is a beautiful array of blossoms. Enjoy the most blessed day and may your day be filled with joy and much happiness.

Psalm 47, verses 1-4

” Come, everyone, and clap for joy! Shout triumphant praises to the Lord! For the Lord, the God above all gods, is awesome beyond words; he is the great King of all the earth. He subdues the nations before us, and will personally select his choicest blessings for his Jewish people — the very best for those he loves.”
