5-Mar-12: Hebrews 1:8-12
8 But of the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.
“….and you say you see golden crowns over there?”
Now all friends did mumble and bumble in near dreams
Now all critterly folks did stretch and roll to find their rest
Now the feet and hands did touch for sleep in streams
Of gasping and thanking for all toil past and rest now best
When now a brief flash of a wing did sweep o’er all
When now a brief spark of light did peep o’er all
“Oh, what can this mean, this glory all ’round?”
“Oh, can that be a golden crown marked for all so upward bound?”

Ah golden crowns – crowns of light! I’m just getting caught up with a few of your latest in this series and enjoying them all. (You are so prolific!) And I’m always looking for the light – that light that dances and sings so effortlessly from your pen!
Mar 07, 2012 @ 00:19:29
Bless you , dear Betty, for ALWAYS looking for that light! Let us all join together in agape love to focus more and more on His light!

What a wonderful summation of today in your last line:
“Oh, can that be a golden crown marked for all so upward bound?”
Thank you for sharing, granbee!

Bless you, dear Becca, for your continuing encouragement on this Lenten Journey. We are joint heirs with Christ,therefore royalty with a crown marked with our very own name! I did enjoy imagining that our critters were blessed with a peak at theirs ahead of time!

I believe my fur-child Tippy (who is in end-stage liver disease and hospice care) is peaking at hers from time to time during the day in her dreams ~~ what glory there is when Divine Love is present … and what calm for me! Thank you for your cheerful, encouraging, and inspirational comments ~~ you are the best of “cheerleaders”! Many blessings sweet granbee!!! 😀
Mar 07, 2012 @ 04:42:03
And to think–I never made the cheerleading squad in junior high or high school–too leggy and geeky! That is why I can be such a good writer about critterly folk, you see! So pleased this has graced you during your time of your dear Tippy’s final days on this side of the river, as RumpyDog would say! Glimpsing those crowns awaiting us is a state of Grace beyond description!
Mar 06, 2012 @ 10:48:22
“Oh, what can this mean, this glory all ’round?” Wonderful, Rose, the glorious light that illuminates our path through life~through your “enchanting” words, shines hope and that is truly a blessing~
Mar 07, 2012 @ 00:23:05
And you are truly a blessing to me online, sweet Lauren! Yes, as we walk in love with Him and with each other, we WILL walk in glory!
Mar 06, 2012 @ 11:53:11
I am imagining glory all around!
Mar 07, 2012 @ 00:24:09
Yes, Terri, our dear little critter friends were blesses and strengthened with just tiny glimpse of their golden crowns, ahead of time! Glory IS all around, if we but look for it!
Mar 06, 2012 @ 20:09:02
Sounds good to me… 😉
Mar 07, 2012 @ 00:25:06
Sounds of wonder and awe, ElizOF! Glimpses afforded our little critter friends of their golden crowns, just a little bit ahead of time!
Mar 07, 2012 @ 03:53:24
Could it be that the crow who has been their look out and their protector just spread his wings at the precise moment that God smiled on them all, the light of the blessed engulfing them. As ever the old blacky, dracky crow protected them from being blinded. I am so taken with this tale. xxxx
Mar 07, 2012 @ 04:36:49
Excellent suggest, willowdot. Will I need to pay you if I use it in a day or two? So very pleased you are getting such a kick out of this journey! Bless you, dear girl!
Mar 07, 2012 @ 04:41:18
😉 No , no free, gratis with my love!!
Mar 07, 2012 @ 04:43:11
Okay, remember you said that! We now have witnesses! I will have Old Crow and Ugly Bird both shading our friends’ eyes any day now!
Mar 07, 2012 @ 04:48:15
Good bathing in God love light! xxxx
Mar 08, 2012 @ 02:42:51
“bathing in God’s light”–there you go again, willowdot, handing me great phrases to use in future posts! Bless you, dear lovely person that you are!
Mar 08, 2012 @ 03:54:47
It is my pleasure granbee.
Mar 08, 2012 @ 03:56:48
Such a joy to have these dialogues with you! You are so unselfish!
Mar 08, 2012 @ 04:15:26
In the face of the Shepherds Crook ( the shepherd of men) What point is there to be selfish.. he also was a fisherman. Honestly it is I who am grateful of our dialogues I am the lost one lagging behind hiding from harsh voices. Thank you .
Mar 08, 2012 @ 04:20:17
You can hide behind my cloak anytime, willowdot, as long as you promise to keep clutching the hem (strongly sewn just for your benefit!)
Mar 07, 2012 @ 04:04:34
Rose! You have given another golden light. You certainly do glow and by the power of God and internet, your inspiration is sent all over world. Very powerful stuff, Rose!
Mar 07, 2012 @ 04:38:33
WOOOOEEE, Peter! All over the world? Oh, you will make me far too full of myself here! And then I would roll down this next steep slope we must negotiate and knock that donkey and that old dog right into the brambles! I am glowing through the power of inspiration from such as you, dear wonderful Peter!
Mar 08, 2012 @ 04:27:31
Thank you I will take strength, great strength from that truly I shall.
Mar 08, 2012 @ 04:31:45
So glad to feel you stronger already!
Mar 08, 2012 @ 04:34:33
Old Crook eye knows best like the black crow and white dove he see all.
Mar 08, 2012 @ 04:52:36
Willowdot, check out my latest post (just published) which will show you what Old Crow explains to Stump Woman about her new “outline”!
Mar 07, 2012 @ 04:24:33
gasping and thanking for all toil past and rest now best…. think most of all i love the feeling of rest and peace here…and like always love your unique way of capturing it..
Mar 07, 2012 @ 04:39:49
Claudia, so very, very complimented and honored by your insightful remarks and supportive comments here, coming from such a wonderful poet as yourself! I have enjoyed this little much needed rest period–but brace yourself, we have some toiling ahead!
Mar 07, 2012 @ 09:05:32
The Golden Arches…God style. 🙂
Mar 08, 2012 @ 02:44:09
Yes, writinggomer, golden arches marking the True Pathway! So neat you thought of “golden arches” when reading this post! That had not occurred to me, maybe because I am trying during Lent to be such a good girl and stay away from fast good!
Mar 08, 2012 @ 06:25:26
Granbee… I see Golden Crowns right here as you shine out your own Glorious Light! Love and Blessings… Late here and your my last call, but I will be back.. 🙂 Sue
Mar 09, 2012 @ 01:37:04
Sue, welcome to the club about being “late”: lately, I have been getting TOO many requests for my posts, writing, teaching, etc.! Love you dropping by WHENEVER: you know that! I can always hear your drum beating, anyway! It’s a “spirit” thing, of course! We do have many honors and glories and multitudes of lights awaiting us, as you say!
