I turned 47 today and I praise our precious LORD that I get to share my 'birth' day with you! I pray that your day was very blessed and that this 'new' year will bring to you all of your deepest hopes and dreams! God bless you 4ever -- Love your sister in Christ, ♥ Marcia
Poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Ultima Thule
THE WINDMILL
Behold! a giant am I!
Aloft here in my tower,
With my granite jaws I devour
The maize, and the wheat, and the rye,
And grind them into flour.
I look down over the farms;
In the fields of grain I see
The harvest that is to be,
And I fling to the air my arms,
For I know it is all for me.
I hear the sound of flails
Far off, from the threshing-floors
In barns, with their open doors,
And the wind, the wind in my sails,
Louder and louder roars.
I stand here in my place,
With my foot on the rock below,
And whichever way it may blow
I meet it face to face,
As a brave man meets his foe.
And while we wrestle and strive
My master, the miller, stands
And feeds me with his hands;
For he knows who makes him thrive,
Who makes him lord of lands.
On Sundays I take my rest;
Church-going bells begin
Their low, melodious din;
I cross my arms on my breast,
And all is peace within.
ALTHOUGH THIS IS A PICTURE OF A WATERMILL I THOUGHT THE BEAUTY OF HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW'S POEM "THE WINDMILL" AND THE BEAUTY OF THIS PICTURE WENT TOGETHER SO MUCH THAT I WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU. :)
GOD BLESS YOU,
JOHN

IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS THE LORD GRIEVED OVER THE WICKEDNESS OF MEN AND DECIDED TO WIPE OUT THE EARTH OF MEN AND EVERYTHING BUT BECAUSE NOAH FOUND FAVOR IN THE EYES OF THE LORD AND NOT TO BE PART OF THE WICKEDNESS AND FELLOWSHIPPED WITH GOD IS WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY! PRAISE HIM! PRAISE HIM!
