Fall in the Adirondacks

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the

throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city.

On either side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month;

and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

Love One Another

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.

We love because He first loved us.

The commandment we have from him is this:

Those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also.

Blessed be the name of God from age to age, for wisdom and power are His.

He changes times and seasons, deposes kings and sets up kings;

He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.

He reveals deep and hidden things;

He knows what is in the darkness and light dwells with Him.

A face that only a mother could love

And God said, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures,

and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky.”

So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that

moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm and

every winged bird of every kind.  And God saw that it was good.

The Caring Hand of God

I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat

or about your body, what you will wear.

Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap,

they gather nothing into barns yet your heavenly Father feeds them.

Are you not more important than they?
