God brought forth the wind out of His treasuries here today. There’s something quite stirring (literally I guess) about sitting out on a spring day when the trees are swaying and the sound of the wind ruffling the leaves is constant, when the skies are filled with puffy little clouds that float merrily along in the breeze. It can make you think deep thoughts and revitalize your brain. Try it sometime and you’ll see that I am right.
A few quotes from my book (and it is only a few – I have neglected it while traveling).
There is no better test of a man’s ultimate chivalry and integrity than how he behaves when he is wrong.
G.K. Chesterton
I can be rather inwardly pouty when I am wrong. Sometimes outwardly. I resolve to do better.
The birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus
means that one day
everything sad will come untrue.
JRR Tolkien
Glorious, glorious truth!
A saint’s life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says, “I cannot stand anymore.” God does not heed. He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly.
Oswald Chambers
Are you being stretched? Do you feel the string taut on your bow? How encouraging to know that God is aiming you at something for His good and godly purposes and He will not hold that arrow forever – He will let it fly at the right time.
Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
we sing your praises, O God:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Book of Common Prayer
It is sunset as I write this, so I had to include that beautiful prayer with the lilting phrase “the vesper light.”
I’ll probably delete this when the vesper light has completely left the sky…
