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!!!

A Day For Proverbs chapter 25, verses 20-25

Red Tailed Hawk-3-C-JES-Print

Bald Eagle Gandy-3-C-JES

Golden Eagle-1-C-JES

All the days of our lives are filled with wonder and awe of God’s love and mercy for each of us. And being kind to your enemy is very important too, not only for you but for your enemy, who while they were once an enemy are now your loving friend. I wish everyone the very best with their family and friends for thanksgiving day and day the Lord has given us to be with friends, strangers and family the Lord decides where you will be if you listen and follow his path.

Today there are three paintings the red tailed hawk, the bald eagle and the golden eagle, three of my favorite birds of pray not prey. I hope you enjoy and can share with your friends and enjoy your day and be at peace God is there and will help you in each step of your work and will guide you safely for you are his people.

Today in verse 20-25 God shares his wisdom and I’ll write for you so if you do not have a Bible you can read this and know.

” Being happy go lucky around a person whose heart is heavy is as bad as stealing his jacket in cold weather or rubbing salt in his wounds.”

” If your enemy is hungry, give him food! If he is thirsty, give him something to drink! This will make him feel ashamed of himself, and God will reward you.”

” As surely as the wind from the north brings cold, just as surely a retort causes anger!”

” It is better to live in a corner of an attic than in a beautiful home with a cranky, quarrelsome woman.”

” Good news from far away is like cold water to the thirsty.”

Amen and Amen!!!

A Living God, Faithfulness, and Kindness (sending manna and meat)

Psalm 78, O my Lord who hast given and taken and continues to love his people today, I just want to say that I love you and obey you Father, I want to share your exciting deeds today in 2013 so people will know you are a God of Miracles for all your people. This is about mighty miracles, do you know what miracles are? They are an event that man can not explain from all his knowledge and is created by God to show his people he is real, living, and for them to worship and praise the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. When people see God at work what stops them from spreading the good news or to stop their sinning and sin no more? Adam had a great deal to do with fallen men and women right up until this moment, and God as you will see in this holy scripture is teaching while loving his people, and sometimes there is tough love too. AS parents you know what discipline your children is about, you still follow through even though you love them very deeply, just do not love their behavior. God’s law is the word and the word, living God is our Father Who Art In Heaven.

“Faith Of Our Father, Holy Faith”  IN this scripture the people of Ephraim, were fully armed and ready for battle, but the day of battle they turned their backs and fled, because they did not obey the Lords laws that were taught to the past fathers generations ago and passed down, still they thought they did not need to obey what they had been taught by their fathers or to believe the great miracles in those early generations. Whew, what happens next? They had forgot the wonderful miracles God had done for them and for their fathers in Egypt. He divided the sea and they were saved, in the daytime in the desert he led them by a cloud and at night by a pillar of fire. He even split open rocks in the wilderness to give them plenty of water to drink, yet they kept on their rebellion, sinning against the God who is above all gods. They demanded other better food as well as water, then he opened the windows of heaven and rained down manna, bread from heaven and so the people ate the angel’s food. God called forth an east wind and guided the south wind and he rained down birds to fall all among the people and on their tents and the people at to their fill, and before they had finished the bird meat in their mouths, the anger of the Lord rose against them and killed the finest of Israel’s young men. Yet even so the people kept on sinning and refused to believe in miracles, so he cut their lives short and gave them years of terror and disaster.

Then at last, when he had ruined them, they walked awhile behind him, how earnestly they turned around and followed him! Then they remembered that God was their rock—that their Savior was the God above all gods. But it was only with their words they followed him not with their hearts their hearts were far away. They did not keep their promises. Yet he was merciful and forgave their sins and didn’t destroy them all. Many and many a time he held back his anger. For he remembered that they were merely mortal men, gone in a moment like a breath of wind.

After all this and the people still were sinning God decided to reject Joseph’s family, the tribe if Ephraim, and chose the tribe of Judah—and Mount Zion which he loved. There he built a towering temple and chose his servant David, from feeding sheep, and God promised David to his people as their shepherd and he (David) cared for them with a true heart and skillful hands.”

I love Jesus my mighty living God, The Father, The Son, and Holy Ghost, forever and ever!!!

Amen and Amen!!!

He will bless them with peace.” I am in love with Jesus, more than the air I breath thank you Lord for every gift and for my loving friends near and far, and we Glorify Your Name Father, IN Jesus name we pray, full of wonder and we are in awe of your Power, saving all of us.

Forgiveness By God’s Mercy Romans Chapter 5 verses 20 and 21

Such a joyful day, yesterday I was witness to a wonderful female whooping crane number 10-10 from the Whooping Crane Center in Baraboo, WI she was born in 2010 and was migrating, near Crex Meadows where the Greater Sandhill Cranes are preparing for their migration in fact a week ago during a 5″ snow most of the sandhill cranes left, and depending on the weather toward Thanksgiving the rest will leave too. They are feeding and eating close to the Trade River where the water is open and not froze.

Here is the good news, praise God, ” The Ten Commandments were given so that all could see the extent of their failure to obey God’s Laws. But the more we see our sinfulness, the more we see God’s abounding grace forgiving us. Before, sin ruled over all men and brought them to death, but now God’s kindness rules instead, giving us right standing with God resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

I did not get a wonderful flying image of the whooping crane because my Nikon camera, the auto focus on my 80-400mm lens did not work, but before that happened I did get a wonderful image of her standing amongst the sandhill cranes and for that I am very grateful for.

This special watercolor, called, ” mom and dad’s love forever “was painted in honor of my loving parents Jackie and Norman who I honor all the days of my life and thank God for his loving kindness throughout my entire life, starting first with home and the love that has no judgment, but only kindness.

 

w peace and love, always and forever,

Monday November 11, Veterans Day, Honoring David Hueper Of Blue Earth,MN

A Father's Love

Red Tailed Hawk-3-C-JES-Print

These paintings are for the David Hueper family and for all veterans near and far, to give thanks to each veteran for their service to our God and to our Nation here in the United States Of America.

In Isaiah Chapter 42, verse 3-4 goes like this,V-3,” He will not break the bruised reed, nor quench the dimly burning flame. He will encourage the fainthearted, those tempted to despair. He will see full justice given to all who have been wronged.” V-4,” He won’t be satisfied until truth and righteousness prevail throughout the earth, nor until even distant lands beyond the seas have put their trust in him.”

May all our men and women know that they are loved and righteous too, just as the Lord Is Loved and Righteous. May your days be filled with love and honor in all you do. 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.

The righteous will be rewarded

In Proverbs 29, verses. Goes something like this:

” A just king gives stability to his nation, but one who demands bribes destroys it.

Flattery is a trap;evil men are caught in it, but good men stay away and sing for joy.

The good man knows the poor man’s rights; the godless don’t care.

Fools start fights everywhere while wise men try to keep peace.

There’s no sense in arguing with a fool.He only rages and scoffs, and tempers flare.

The godly pray for those who want to kill them.

A rebel shouts in anger; a wise man holds his temper in and cools it.

And that is wisdom from the Kingdom Of God, may Jesus continue to bless our people in all we do and say and protect all the children near and far. In your holy name Jesus.

To Kerry in her wonderful care here is her painting called holy, holy, holy and is her two dogs Izzy and Shorty beautiful animals that love her and her family dearly. w peace and love.

Salvation Comes From God

Psalm 2, verses 7-12

” His chosen one replies,” I will reveal the everlasting purposes of God, for the Lord has said to me,” You are my Son. This is your Coronation Day. Today I am giving you, your glory.” ” Only ask, and I will give you all the nations of the world. Rule them with an iron rod; smash them like clay pots!” V-12 Fall down before his Son and kiss his feet before his anger is roused and you perish. I am warning you—his wrath will soon begin. But oh, the joys of those who put their trust in him!” ” Amen and Amen!”
