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

Blackeye susans-3

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.

E-everlasting love

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.

What makes a Painting?

Ever wonder why a painting speaks to you, you do not know the artists and yet the work is wonderful. Go with it, appreciation is heart felt and a part of who we are. I am very grateful to be painting today at this time.

I think art is a very special medium and one thing as a painter I love color and that translates for me to a way of seeing, a way of loving my subjects for people and sharing that love, color is love. Awesome, my color is love, kindness, and peace..

These four paintings are unique and as you view can you say how they appear, what do you think, they are small 5″ x 7″ and 9″ x 12″ with a lot of thought going into each one.

Peace and may your days be bright and happy. If I can paint for you let me know. I paint wildlife because I love all the birds and animals with all my being and God’s creation is meant to be honored just like people, animals teach me greatly.

Fruit of The Holy Spirit

When I sit around the studio and work on my painting, my process is very simple, or so it seems. My work is faith based and as a Christian, I do have a goof every once in a while, that does irk me. In reading this morning Paul’s teaching from Jesus in Galatians, Paul reminds me that the old Jewish Law does not apply, as such, in the current life, since Jesus came, and the fruits of listening to the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. By living now by the Holy Spirit’s power lead’s me in every part of my life. I have a few rough spots still after all this time, can you imagine that, still need to go through the refiners fire, yea I go by the grace of God. Hmmmm, just doing God’s work seems to be the best medicine to right my ship and not to worry about honors or popularity, they are very short lived, and can cause jealousy and hard feelings.

Best get back to painting today and to bless others, do for other as I would want done unto me, and just to live in peace and harmony.

David’s, ” A Lovely Poem of Praise”

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!!!

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.

“Praise Our God”

“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 ”
