Ripple on a Pond.
The above is one of my Oil Paintings…..yes it has a pond on it so thought it would good on here.
Job: Chapter 1 – verse 21.
“Naked I came from my mothers’ womb and naked I shall depart.
The Lord gave and The LORD has taken away:
may the name of The LORD be praised”
***
The above was said by Job and it is true, naked we came into this world and naked we shall leave it. So while we are here let us bless those around us as best we can especially our family. Let us see them enjoy some of the assets we would eventually leave them when we die by giving now while we are alive. Let us share in their enjoyment. Maybe it could be just a special little heirloom we are saving for them, or, maybe finance we are saving for them. If they are in need as some young families are, let us be gracious and try to help. Today let us remember – we cannot take anything with us when we go, that also includes our love. let them know you love them. Our families do need our love more than maybe they or we realize. The LORD surely blesses us as we bless others.
Today let us think on our nakedness before The LORD.

Here is the Poem that I wrote about being a Ripple on a Pond…
Are You a Ripple on a Pond. ?
Are you a Ripple on a Pond?
Do you see what I see? Can you pray for those who cannot pray?
Will you pray for those who cannot see? Are you a Ripple on a Pond.?
Like a pebble thrown into the middle, our prayers can go out and around
in a never ending and expanding circle. Are you a ripple on a pond?
Do you see beyond the horizon? Will your words or works reach out
in that never ending circle of prayer? I pray I am a Ripple on a Pond.
My prayers going forth throughout the world, for those lost souls to be gathered in
and for everyone of them to be cleansed from sin.
Do try to be a Ripple, even starting with a trickle, of prayer and praise.
Like a pebble creating waves on a Pond, may your Prayers go forward even beyond.
So are you a Ripple on a Pond?
With prayers, reach far beyond all that you see. Look and use your spiritual eyes for Jesus.
Do something for Him that really, really pleases.

I pray you have a lovely Day Today.
Our Soul is Precious
This is a Painting of a lovely peaceful Farm over looking the distant hills.
I pray that you find peace and love in God our Heavenly Father today.
Psalm 62 verse 1
My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from Him.
*
When I sit and pray, do you know, my soul does find rest in God.
I pray that you find rest in God today.
We do know that our salvation comes from Him.
God does love our souls to be at rest in Him,
whether we are at work,
play or in prayer.
So today let us be at rest in God as we get on with our daily tasks etc.,

Well there we are then now we know what to do when we get stressed out !……yes, just sit for a while quietly and tell God our Heavenly Father what the matter is. He can hear us you know, Jesus knows our thoughts and He sent The Holy Spirit to Comfort us . However, unless we sit and tell God what is troubling us The Holy Spirit will not be able to comfort us. We usually go on in our own sweet way thinking things will get better in a minute and are quite surprised that they don’t. Well – what about stopping for a moment and telling God that we need help.
The Shortest Prayer that I know or can say when all seems to fail is:-………………Please Help me God………..
Be honest and say that you can’t do whatever you need to do on your own, tell Him the problem, it does not matter what the problem is He may not help unless you ask him to.
God our Heavenly Father has given us free will to choose to ask or not to ask – so it is up to us – if we would like His help or not.
So we can stay stressed out or Pray that God will help us and allow The Holy Spirit to comfort us in any kind of need that we are in. As Christians we know that through Jesus we can pray straight to God our Father, no need to pray through Mary or any of the saints – we have a hot line or phone line to God.
Give it a try if you are a Christian……and you can only be a Christian if you have invited Jesus Christ our Lord into your life (into your heart) as some people say.
So if you are not a Christian reading this you may like to give it a go
with Jesus – God’s Son.

I pray that you have a lovely Day today and that any Stress that is with you will start to dissipate any minute.
May God Bless You and your loved ones today.
