Walk with Faye


Faye went with me on an afternoon walk.
 It was a cool and windy walk, but refreshing.
 I pushed her in her wheelchair around the main trail.

1Pe 3:7  Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 
1Pe 3:8  Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 
1Pe 3:9  Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 


A man greeted us and following him at a distance was this little puppy. Dogs are supposed to be leashed, but I did not fear this little guy.

Mat 15:26  But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 
Mat 15:27  And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 


 Do you see the ant eater? They eat insects and bugs.

Mark 1:6  And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; 
Mark 1:7  And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 
Mark 1:8  I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. 


 From the pond a coot has caught his lunch with small legs hanging down from his beak; 
 it must be a frog. He swallowed it down whole.

Exo 8:5  And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. 
Exo 8:6  And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 


The wind blew hard on the river making patterns of blue. There is an Indian casino calling itself the
 Win River," things are better on the river". . . In reality it is located on a creek. I suppose "up the creek" did not sound as good as a slogan for a gambling casino.

Psa 1:1  Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 
Psa 1:2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 
Psa 1:3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 


The blackberry leaves form a wreath  of thorns near the river shouting that Fall is here. Fall brings death to the leaves but new life comes in the Spring.

John 19:1  Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 
John 19:2  And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 
John 19:3  And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. 

Mat 28:5  And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 
Mat 28:6  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

My Dorcas


Pro 31:30  Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Pro 31:31  Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
 
My wife is such a woman, she fears the LORD and honors him. The fruit of her hands: hundreds of crocheted afghans and many lap quilts she has made with her hands and most were given away anonymously.
 
Act 9:36  Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: (Gazelle) this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
Act 9:37  And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
Act 9:38  And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
Act 9:39  Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
Act 9:40  But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Act 9:41  And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
Act 9:42  And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
 

My wife has been through a lot of trials. Her hands are twisted with arthritis, and yet she continues to weave many colored afghans as fast as a gazelle; a labor of love. She is a loving wife and I am blessed.
