Glimpse


I have often seen things while walking or traveling or pictures that others have shared with me when looked at with the natural eye have an obvious meaning which I refer to as a "a glimpse of our nature" or the old nature or common way we observe. When I later think about it or relate it to a Bibilical view of life I see it another way which I refer to as the "meaning of this glimpse of our (new) nature. So I would often mention to my sons or daughters the questions or observation and see what they thought and later review the "first thought that came to my mind". Many of you know me as a person with "flight of thoughts" so I think in some ways this has been a gift to see all things in light of the broader meaning at times. I have found that life doesn't ever get boring when you realize that Our Creator God uses even the smallest things we experience daily to further our understanding of his mercy and perfect plan for our lives. The Bible says "we see in part" or dimly in this life. Someday we will see clearly.

I have included pictures and illustrations to bring another view to the "glimpse".

I have often read scriptures in Spanish and love the poetic sound of the words and the deep meanings so I included this to reflect my heart for those who speak this language. God Bless as you read and view the photos or illustrations and pass these to the next generation.

Muchas veces he leído las Escrituras en español y les encanta el sonido poético de las palabras y los significados profundos, así que incluye este para reflejar mi corazón para aquellos que hablan este idioma. Dios bendiga al leer y ver las fotos o ilustraciones y pasar estos a la siguiente generación.

#1- Tiny inchworm climbing up a mighty, tall oak tree

Gusano pequeño subiendo un gran árbol, el roble de altura

I was standing by a large, mighty, oak tree and saw a worm climbing the tree.  I thought that this looked like a very hard thing to have this little worm climbing such a tall tree.


The Glimpse -I later thought about how the worm was climbing with perseverance at what i thought was an an impossible task up the tall oak. Life can have some obstacles that seem insurmountable but by perseverance in prayer we can endure and finish well.


Yo estaba de pie junto a un grande, poderoso árbol, el roble y vio a un gusano de subir al árbol. Yo pensaba que esto parecía una cosa muy difícil tener este pequeño gusano escalada como un árbol alto.
El Vislumbre-Más tarde pensé en cómo el gusano estaba subiendo con la perseverancia en lo que yo pensaba que era una tarea imposible hasta el gran roble. La vida puede tener algunos obstáculos que parecen insuperables, sino por la perseverancia en la oración, podemos soportar y terminar bien.








Eph 6

18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,(ESV)
18 Con toda oración y súplica orad en todo tiempo en el Espíritu, y así, velad con toda perseverancia y súplica por todos los santos;(LBLA)
