Watering Wells of Hope

Imagine the JOY of entering into a lovely paradise as this!

Surely HEAVEN is a most GLORIOUS place to think upon...

Oh but this is just a glimpse from a man's perspective...or mine actually.

I have had the wonderful opportunity to share my story about Stephen which is why I started this blog to begin with... To reach out to others in their struggles..trials and heartaches...to face them in FAITH and to be watchful...mindful of GOD's Glory and Graces all around us daily.

As I look at this picture...such Peace comes..Such fragrant aroma of serenity...the the lovely path of floral and color...such lightness of heart.

Oh...NO Sorrow..there...NO sadness..NO pain....

Revelations 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying. neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

I have always love this verse...

As we think of the children killed in the tragedy at school..or any loss to us...

THE HOPE OF HEAVEN is the JOY of TRUTH.

Knowing that children....have an instant place with the LORD.

No more suffering....such innocence...

God Be with all of you who have suffered a loss of a child...

and my the GOD of all HOPE comfort and strengthen you daily.

God bless
HOPE

My Bible

Though the cover is worn,
and the pages are torn,
and though places bear traces of tears.
Yet more precious than gold,
is this Book worn and old,
that can shatter and scatter my fears.
When I prayerfully look,
in this precious old Book,
many treasures and pleasures I see;
many tokens of love,
from the Father above;
Who is nearest and dearest to me.
This old Book is a guide,
'tis a friend by my side;
it will lighten and brighten my way.
And with each promise I find,
it soothes and gladdens my mind,
as I read it and head it today.
To this Book will I cling,
of it's worth will I sing;
Though great losses and crosses be mine.
For I cannot despair,
though surrounded by care,
While possessing this blessing divine.
Annon.

The KING JAMES Bible

This Book...reveals the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers.

It's doctrines are holy, it's precepts binding, it's histories are true and it's decisions are immutable.

Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy.

It contains light to direct you, food to sustain you, and comfort to cheer you.

It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter. Here, too, heaven is opened and the gates of hell disclosed.

Jesus Christ is the grand subject, our good it's design, and the glory of God, it's end.

It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet.

Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure.

It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever!

It involves highest responsibility, will reward willing labours, and condemn all who trifle with it's sacred contents.

Owned, it is riches, studied, it is wisdom, trusted, it is salvation, loved, it is character and obeyed it is power.
