Emanuel

Emanuel (God with Us)

In Isaiah 7:14 It is written:
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Emmanuel. KJ
Isaiah 7:15 says: Butter and honey shall he eat that he may know to refuse the evil and choose the good. KJ

In St.Matthew 1:23 it is written:
Behold a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. KJ

Some versions of the Bible say that when He was weaned he ate curds and honey. This was something that I wanted to share with others. It made my Lords human side on Earth more meaningful. There is very little that we know of in His early years, except when He stayed at the Temple, and Mary and Joseph had to go back for him. I hope this has as much impact on you as it did on me.

WOW

After my posting yesterday, and feeling bad about the fire I received some exciting news. I did not have to cook because my husband asked me out to dinner. What a treat that was. We went for Chinese and enjoyed the food and coolness of the restaurant. I had submitted a poem to Faith Writers earlier in the day, and when I got home I had 2 nice reviews on my computer.
You know, sometimes when we are at our lowest, God gives us a revelation of just how much he loves and watches over us. I am going to sit back this evening and have some pecan Ice Cream. and think about how to write another poem.
Wish me Luck

Today

I am sitting here today wondering if what I see is what others see, or am I seeing what others see. This seems a little confusing, but this day has been confusing. We have had a fire just outside of the town where I live, that has spread to 15 acreas. When I look towards the sky, all I see is a gray blue, that covers the awsome blue that was there yesterday. I think of all the small animals that in fear either froze in place ,or ran for their lives away from the heat and flames. I wish that yesterday was hear again, so I would not have to think about such things, but in this life we face today everyday. The smoke from the fire has covered the mountains that stand as sentinals against the beyond that I cannot see, but on this side it is dry and hazy. We have our sprinklers in the fields going and around the house we are keeping damp, but because we live at the edge of where the forest and desert meet,there is alway a chanch of a fire close by. It has been a year of heat and dry weather that is prone to wild fires. I called my sister today to see if she was OK, but she was not home. Isn't it funny how we always call our loved ones when there is danger near by? The nice thing about today is barbeque
