May You rest in His arms,
May You feel His presence like never before,
May He lead you into a greater relationship with Him,
May you be clothed with boldness as you step out into all that He has for you,
May you understand as never before His great love for you!
Happy New Year!
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
Luke 18:16
But Jesus called the children to Him and said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
GOD BLESS YOU,
JOHN
