Warbler bird!

This is Willow warbler bird...like sparrows....! Very intricate details in feathers!!!

Who are you?!

How blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing this when he comes! Matthew 24:46

Corrie Ten Boom tells this story in her book, Each New Day. “When I saw Sadhu Sundar Singh in Europe, he had completed a tour around the world. People asked him, Doesn’t it do harm, your getting so much honor?” The Sadhu’s answer was: “No. The donkey went into Jerusalem, and they put garments on the ground before him. He was not proud. He knew it was not done to honor him, but for Jesus, who was sitting on his back. When people honor me, I know it is not me, but the Lord, who does the job.”

The world’s standards of greatness : money, success, power and fame Which means nothing to God.!!! Yes, If we truly aspire to greatness, we will learn from Jesus’ example.

The importance of Humility : God uses broken things. 

It takes broken soil to produce a crop, 

Broken clouds to produce rain, 

Broken grain to give bread and 

Broken bread to give strength. 

It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume. 

It is the broken Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever.

We need to remember that we cannot train ourselves to be Christians; we cannot discipline ourselves to be saints; we cannot bend ourselves to the will of God: we have to be broken to the will of God.

Sea Shell ... !!!

She sells seashells by the seashore.

The shells she sells are surely seashells.

So if she sells shells on the seashore,

I'm sure she sells seashore shells.

Tongue twisted....huh :) !!!

Road Runner!!!

Need a change?!

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eageles; they will run and grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

When it rains, most birds head for shelter; the EAGLE is the only bird that, in order to avoid the rain, starts flying Above the cloud...!

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens!!!. not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to LIFE. 

A positive attitude that causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results. 

True Vine!

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. John 15: 1-4

How do we produce much fruit? What does this fruit stand for in our life? What is the Lord saying?

In the hectic world, the work ethic is, achieve and produce by working longer and harder! The focus is on getting results through human effort — we’ve become product oriented and the bottom line is……Where we are? This is opposed to of the culture we live in today, and to human nature in general. 

Think about it today like we’re constantly pushed to know about  self-help books promoting self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-control — our society is all about SELF! 

The Lord’s way is to work with and through us so that every result or product comes out of our abiding in Him, since without Him WE CAN DO NOTHING.

The key to fruitfulness is for us to have our lives joined to the one, true, healthy vine ... Jesus. As our lives are joined to his, as we "abide" in him and he in us, then fruitfulness happens naturally.
