9-Mar-12: Acts 7:30-40
30 “Now when forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning bush.
31 When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight; and as he approached to look, there came the voice of the Lord:
32 ‘I am the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look.
33 Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
34 I have surely seen the mistreatment of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them. Come now, I will send you to Egypt.’
“…..and you say our bare feet are perfect for going to that Holy Ground below?”
“Oopsey, whoopsey, we fallsey downsey, we hurtseys so muchsees”
So screeched Spotted Goat tumbling down rocky slope to high river bank.
“Waitsee, waitsee, do not give upsee, oh friend in questsees!”
So squaled out Old Stump Woman and Littly Lamb hurting feet in run so lank.
“Oh, if only boots of Shepherd we could wear as we tear down to grab old goat!”
So moaned lambie and stumpie clambering down to reach out old goat from that ditch.
“Oh, if only you would see you are on Holy Ground now in rushing to aide without coat!”
So did Old Crow and Ugly Bird and even Bluesy Fly teach those helpers in loving pitch.

He smiled as he watched and he whispered when you do unto the droppsee whopseeiest of my creatures you do on to me. Bless you Littly Lamb and Old Stumpy woman.

Don’t you just love Littley Lamb and Old Stump Woman more and more? Let us bind up their feet and carry on, shall we?
Mar 11, 2012 @ 03:45:51
If we bind up Stumpy Woman’s feet she could carry Littly Lamb XX

Bring on the wrappings, willowdot! LOVE the way you are so involved in this journey! And who could resist helping Littley Lamb?
Mar 10, 2012 @ 10:02:20
HA! You make falling down sound like a joy ride.
Mar 10, 2012 @ 22:51:16
Tots, it IS an absolute joy to fall down in service to others, guided by the love and light from above! You have the right of it, as usual! Gloria in excelsis, Deo!

Falling down on holy ground. What a great illustration of the Bible verse.
Mar 10, 2012 @ 22:53:59
Bless you, dear Thomas! I was inspired by that verse in conjunction with a MSNCB.com photo-of-the-week, showing two men wading through tremendous piles of debris after the torandoes last week to rescue a beautifully soulful Chocolate Lab! Their clothing was torn, their hair was all mussed, and they were totally focused on helping that dear dog! They were on “holy ground”, it seemed to me! I failed to save the photo properly, or I would have posted it, as well!

Dear, dear Caddo–you of the endlessly loving and generous heart! Thank you; you know I always drop in on you, except on Sundays, when I stay off the computer by choice! Love you!

Granbee,
When we stand in His presence we are to take our shoes off… why? it is a symbol of desire to rid the sinful influence of the world from our lives and our desire to be in submission and humility before HIm. Another great posting.. Thanks. Lord bless
Mar 10, 2012 @ 22:56:46
Yes, Rob, and I hope that I wrote this poem to show that the two helping “critters” were indeed in complete submission and humility in serving as lead from above! Thank you for your wonderful support. So pleased you enjoyed this post! Bless you and all you do for Him and us and so many all around you, Pastor Rob!

I like this verse the best…
“Waitsee, waitsee, do not give upsee, oh friend in questsees!”
It says…do not give up hope. You are so close, keep going.
Hope is awesome, hope is inspiring, hope is true, hope is here and there.
Hope is not seen, but readily apprehended, hope is always on, never off.
Hope is ours, hope is for all, hope is near and far.
Hope surrounds us, hope is within us, hope never fails.
You see, hope has a name
Hope is Jesus.
Be blessed Rose, keep writing these lyrical illustrations of the bible. 🙂

Yes, and AMEN and Hallelujah, dear writinggome, brother in the Lord—the name of hope is JESUS! Wonderful prose poem you added here, my brother!

Spur of the moment…
You are good at making people smile! 🙂

Yes, praise be! Let us follow the fine example of the helpers, Littley and Stumpy, of lovingly following the directions of Old Crow and Ugly Bird and Bluesy Fly, acting as messengers from above!

What wonderful lessons your creatures bestow upon us ~~ thank you for sharing with such delightful perspective. 😀
Mar 12, 2012 @ 22:46:30
Bless you, dearest Becca! I have always enjoyed personifying critters–and vice versa, as you can see! So pleased the lessons are coming through in these posts! Bless you for your constant support and encouragement!
Mar 11, 2012 @ 21:24:16
Just Love you, Granbee..Linda
Mar 12, 2012 @ 22:46:55
Loving you back, double, Linda!

What lesson ‘your’ critters teach us! To help is to submit wholly not to exert our will.
Reading through the comments I was very moved by the rescue of the Lab…
Mar 17, 2012 @ 22:49:00
You are exactly right, bardess! To be a true helper, one must submit to the cause of Greater Love completely! So pleased this post and comments touched your heart, Diane!
