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.

#5 Ocean swim during a dark overcast sky.



Océano nadar durante un cielo nublado oscuro.





We have experienced refreshing calm times in the ocean just before a storm.

Glimpse-   Being in the ocean just before a storm can be refreshing eventhough the sky is dark and the waters roughen. The warm breeze  blows across the water and over you. Most leave the water and try to find shelter before the storm. You can experience stillness in the midst of a storm knowing that is a brief time until the sun will be shining again and the storm is past. Life becomes still and peaceful again.

Hemos experimentado refrescantes momentos de calma en el mar justo antes de una tormenta.
Visión-aún cuando el cielo está oscuro y las aguas que se endurezca en el mar justo antes de una tormenta puede ser refrescante. La brisa cálida a través del agua y sobre ti. La mayoría salen del agua y tratar de encontrar refugio antes de la tormenta. Usted puede experimentar la quietud en medio de una tormenta, sabiendo que es un breve periodo de tiempo hasta que el sol brillará otra vez y la tormenta ha pasado. Todo se vuelve tranquilo y pacífico de nuevo.




Psalm 107:28-31
28 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 28 Entonces en su angustia clamaron al SEÑOR y El los sacó de sus aflicciones.
29 He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. 29 Cambió la tempestad en calma y las olas del mar callaron.
30 Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven. 30 Entonces se alegraron porque las olas se habían aquietado, y El los guió al puerto anhelado.
31 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! (ESV)31 Den gracias al SEÑOR por su misericordia y por sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres. (LBLA)
