Year: 2008

It seems like we are always in the middle of some trial.  I somehow had the idea, when I was growing up, that adults never had problems.  They had everything under control.  Boy was I wrong.  But I’m learning that the trials are what make us stronger.  I came across this statement and it made a lot of sense.  I’m learning to pray for grace under fire and not to escape the trials.  Much easier said than done.

May God bless you in the week to come.

Yes it is another Monday morning.  I hope these posters brighten up your Mondays just a bit.  Some have asked it these are my photographs, the answer is yes.   Usually, though, the words are ones that I have come across that say what I want to say much better than I can.  If you would like to see more of what I have done you can google Little Jeane and will end up in Flickr.  There I have about 4000 pictures and about 150 of my posters.

Now to the poster of the week.  We have always said that actions speak louder than words, but I was surprised to see this same idea in a proverb from Tibet.  It made me think about how I live my life.  It is so easy to say things and promise things, but do we always follow up with the action.  Or worse yet, do we say one thing but go out and act in the opposite manner.  Working with kids has really made me aware of how much each of us do this.

My prayer this week is that my deeds will lead others closer to Christ.

The posters I made this week are actually a pair of them.  They contrast our promises and God’s promises.  Thank goodness that God’s promises are never broken.  Have a wonderful week!

Isn’t it wonderful to know that we have a God who loves and cares for us enough to help us choose right, but even when we make the wrong choice He does not turn His back on us.  My prayer for all of you this week is that you will  “cross the right bridges.”

Last week the tall ships were in Morro Bay.  This is one of the many pictures I took.   Came across this great proverb.   Just wanted to let you all know that I really appreciate your friendships!  Nothing very profound to add to that except Thank You.

At school I am reading the Messiah (Desire of Ages) with my students.  They have a hard time understanding why the religious leaders could not see that Jesus was the Son of God.  I’ve been using that to help them understand faith.  To them the facts are in black and white.  Gray is just not something that they are dealing with.  Oh that we may all have the faith of a child.  (Just realized that the border I chose was gray.  Some will say that was a coincidence, but I think God had a hand in that!)

Have an awesome week.

This is just my thought for this week of Valentines to let you know that you are thought of. But even more so, can you imagine the rose garden Christ would have.

” …and the greatest of these is love.” 1 Cor. 13:13

Have a wonderful week.  Remember you are loved.

Here is a little color to start out your week.

Hope you enjoy!

With all the weather we are having, I thought that this was quite fitting.

Have a great week.
