CLIMBING EVER HIGHER

OVER THE STEEP CLIFFS

I KEEP ON CLIMBING.  

Time out for resting 

between the moves up the mountains,

I know there is a need to take in more air, more oxygen,

 in order to combat the deprivation I get when I begin

 climbing higher.

Surefootedness comes from looking where I step.

Surefootedness comes from being alert.

Psalms  18.36  

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, 

that my feet did not slip away. 

               This is me at three !   I remember being there with Grandmother.   I remember how she loved to work in her garden.   She never lost her temper at me.   Her patience in working things out so that I was given "things to do" paid off.  I do remember her praising me for things I did.  

                Now, is this what I do today?   In a sense.   In a sense I am listening now for God's dear Spirit to speak and to let me have His Peace in those matters He leads me.  

  I am now 81 years of age, and still in need of my Heavenly Father to keep me, to guide me, and to help me be surefooted and persistent in the Path He leads me on.   As I enter this new year of 2015 I thank the dear Lord Jesus Christ for coming from the Father's throne to come and live here among us, and to give His life for us.    How thankful I can be.   

      Here are four cousins of mine.  How time flies by !

With the formative years all past, how can I best use my time and take some joy in family, friends, church and finding ways to use what I do for the Lord.    On Facebook, I am in touch with Aunt Althea, cousin Paul Maynard, and relatives that I have never met.  It is a privilege to be able to share this way. 

       I remember how Auntie Al certainly loved her children, and made much sacrifice for them.   How I need to follow her example by cherishing my children, and continuing to encourage and advise the adult children.    I need to listen to the Only One who is able to keep them - God Himself. 

       When John pointed his followers to Jesus, he declared "Behold the lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world."  Two followed Jesus that day - and Jesus turned to ask them "What seekest thou?"   They said, "Lord, where dwellest thou?"   He said, "Come and See."    Jesus today is asking you to come and see, to come and discover just who He is, and what He asks of you. 

      God bless you.   Come Journey With Me.
