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.

#2 The coolness of the shadow near a great rock.

La frescura de la sombra cerca de una gran roca.


When walking on a hot day I have stepped into a shadow of a great rock.

Glimpse-Many times I have looked for shade because of the heat. A few times i have sought shelter near a great rock. The coolness of the shadow is shelter from the elements and provides refreshment for the journey.

Al caminar en un día caluroso que he entrado en una sombra de una gran roca.

Visión-Muchas veces he buscado la sombra por el calor. Algunas veces me han buscado refugio cerca de una gran roca. La frescura de la sombra es el refugio de los elementos y ofrece refrigerio para el camino.

Is 32:2 

2 Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.(ESV)
2 Cada uno será como refugio contra el viento y un abrigo contra la tormenta, como corrientes de agua en tierra seca, como la sombra de una gran peña en tierra árida.(LBLA)
