Black Capped Chickadee-3-C-JES-PrintFor those who are readers of The Psalms, today we read Psalm 45, verses 1-7 and goes something like this from the “Living Bible ” :

” My heart is overflowing with a beautiful thought! I will write a lovely poem to the King, for I am full of words as the speediest writer poring out his story.”

” You are the fairest of all; your words are filled with grace; God himself is blessing you forever. Arm yourself, O Mighty One, so glorious, so majestic! And in your majesty Go on to victory, Defending truth, humility, and justice. Go forth to awe-inspiring deeds! Your arrows are sharp IN your enemies hearts; They fall before you. Your throne O God, endures forever. Justice is your royal scepter. You love what is good and hate what is wrong. Therefore God, Has given you more gladness Than anyone else.”

Amen and Amen!!!

Marriage Is About Truth

Posted on by

Since time began and as we leaned about Adam and Eve, truth is one of the cornerstones God is teaching us, he teaches us many lessons. We all know about speaking a little white lie or not coming clean when speaking to our spouse. Why? What prompts us to fudge with the one we love? Our word is important and what we say to our spouse matters. It all gets back to being a trusting and loving spouse. In Proverbs 6 Jesus shares the seven things God hates, and two of them relate to lying, so for me just saying like it is be right up front is ok, respect and understanding come from a communication that is built of truth. Love is marrying that person, consistently doing what is best for him or her, and staying faithful for the rest of your life.

The wildlife animals and the wild kingdom are true and faithful, they abide by God’s laws too or they would perish. Next year my sons Norm and Chris and Me are going elk hunting, in the rugged mountains, no luxury or electricity, just horses, no other people other than our hunting camp and so we will be in what I can say is the ” wilderness ” our whole way for that week is based on God and his majesty in all things and our very existence depends on listening to God. Keep posted and bless everyone you know and remember a stranger is only a friend you have not met yet. God speed and peace be yours. Most of all best wishes and may love abide.

The River Of Life,No Government Shut Down, no Never!!!

I am very aware of how hard people work today and how they give so much of their time to making things better for so many people. The VA Hospital is a good example. The past couple of days the Hueper and Pullis families have been in prayer as their dad David has been receiving medical care in  the VA and like a lot of things spending time with friends or even strangers for that matter seems to be only a matter of being willing to put yourself in their shoes for a moment and to have some compassion to love and care for them. And I would no less for them that they would do for me if the need arose.

My wish today is that our Government keeps the VA hospitals open and the pay for VA Veterans an some are on Social Security too, so God does not want his people to be witout when they have all sacrificed so much for our Nation. IT is unthinkable regardless of the party to think they feel justified in this action, both are in grave error. The National Parks is another area that gets hit and when people take fall vacations to our nations national parks if the Government shuts down then what. Think Men and women ,Think, Get moving now, for the sake of the people. God would not do this ever, and why then would our Nation take this course of action???

This wildlife is for our people that justice is served and that only goodness comes to our Nation. I have Faith God’s rein is close with the actions of our Nation are not ok, not ever, so Lord we pray for your swift justice and your light in this case.

2013 09 24_3402_edited-2Every day I am especially aware of all the blessings and also Faith of Our Fathers ,Holy Faith. Through all the generations since time began we have been taught to love one another, no other way works and our Lord showed us by his loving example.

I am sitting in the VA ICH with David and he is a fighter all the way, he is” our soldier” and he is a very faithful man, righteous too.

Thank you David for so many of your blessings and your faith will heal you and all the love from your family and our communities throughout the USA  is such an awesome event. We come in love and we leave in love.

Thank you Lord, we give you all the praise and glory, through the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.AmGolden Eagle-1-C-JESen!!!

“All you His Servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”

It wasn’t that long ago I was working at 3M and for 35 years, I love this company and so many wonderful people, putting on their garb, hats of work, so to speak and make their daily bread. And The Nation and 3M Company and the people prosper, not because they are clever or know how to make widgets that outsmart the competition, but WilliamMcKnight was a man of God and he cared for his people and his company in a way that was very different from the authority approach of earlier years of Industry in America. McKnight was a man of vision and loved the Lord and when you are a part of a company like 3M for close to 40 years and still ticking there is a lot of good happening and money is not the actual goal, but the result of abiding by God’s law and God is the provider, not us, we are his people and doing his work.

Have a great day 3M and you continue to bear fruit by your actions and God Bless all the people who make 3M the company that so many have come to love. The 3M Brand is for the people, by the people of the people.

I want to say a pray for you and for my friend David who is a veteran and now in the VA hospital, a courageous man, loving, kind and compassionate man, not too much different from all you men at 3M, just for a moment, give pause and share your love with the Hueper family. I’ll be going to the VA Hospital Today, and if any of you want to come you come, the room is small but there is plenty of room to gather by his side.

This painting is for all of you at 3M and is a special day, the Fall Harvest and this is a day of Thanksgiving to each of you, may you enjoy your work and Know that God love you. Peace. Jimmy Springett-wildlife painter

This is called, “a brighter day ”

Our VA Hospitals And God’s Children, To Honor and To Love

Big Doctor Lake-1-C-JES

This painting is a commission I painted for a wonderful couple near Doctor Lake in Siren, WI only a few minutes from where Marge and I live in Webster, WI. We met Tom and Grace Haines at the Main Street Café, owned by Connie and if you come to our area you’ll be so happy to enjoy breakfast here. Tom and Grace are horse people too and love visiting TED Roosevelt National Park too and we have a lot in common and they appreciate the arts and I have helped them restore beautiful prints and to do this commission of this trumpeter swan family feeding and swimming on Doctor Lake in Siren, WI. Tom and Grace took this image and gave me a 4 x 6 print to study and then I used a True Gesso from Santa Fe NM, with my special coating and painted this autumn painting. Note the lead adult swan is the female(yep) and in the rear the adult father, with three grown cygnets in-between for protection. The cygnets at this point in  October can fly really well so the swans are prepared to migrate. I have observed the swans for a long time and from what I see they teach their young cygnets by example not by dictating and with people I find setting a god example and going softly with love is the best way.Everything the Lord created is love centered everything that Is Jesus cornerstone, love, not dictating.We might need to relearn this and soon, so our children are being cared for more with love and honor than by authority. When using a love based way to teach the child is open and can learn the fastest and the learning process is made more fun and the children excel and thrive in love compared to authority.

Thank you Tom and Grace for sharing an image that I so love to paint for you and I feel so blessed to have the honor to paint for my friends.

I’d like to say hi to the Hueper family, David and Ann of Blue Earth,MN. David you are a wonderful father, grandfather and husband, and my close friend. We visited today in your quiet slumber as God is putting his love to work and helping to heal your body. Our VA Hospital in Minneapolis is a very loving body of people doing God’s work here on earth and faithfully helping many of our veterans and I visited with Tim, your nurse David, and he is an awesome man doing a very honorable job for a very honorable man, you David. Peace be yours and rest, and this weekend celebrate with your family now is the time you are not in the grave, and Stacey says Ann is bringing some of your favorite food, yummy. I am going to travel to Theodore Roosevelt National park for a few days and when I get back, David I am coming to see you and your whole family, I am bringing something special for you, but rest now and start eating.

Before I finish my post today, I want to Praise God for all his love and faithfulness to our people, we the people here In America and all around the earth.

When I got to the VA Hospital I had written David Rueper, and the Visitors Desk said there is no one here by that name so I called his family, his daughter Stacey and I goofed his name is Hueper, and then I made my way to his room. I was impressed, and very aware of the nature of this healing place and the people who dedicate their lives sometimes 24/7 to save a veteran. God loves his people and they are following his mandate to love one another. Wonderful.

I think this gentleman from Birmingham,AL who wrote this just might be a father like David,Craig and Me, and there is a good possibility he is a veteran too. Here is his Story ,Titled ” Our Soldier” and goes something like this,:

” Out of the family, only one stood up, and raised his hand,To protect the weak, the poor, and the rest of us across this land.

Searching for discipline and trust,he works to learn,what the rest of the world, Expects from us.

Scared he goes, where he’s ordered to, each day he prepares to see the mission through.

We pray for him, because he’s Blood, Family, and Friends, Together forever,WE send him our Love.” His name is Donald Carrie(thank you Sir, Yes Sir Thank You)

David and Ann, enjoy your celebration this weekend, and just know that our loving God is caring for each of us and you are a favorite son, peace and ” Mankato” we will visit in a few days. God loves you, peace, with love and honor sir,
