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.

#7 A view of posterity, a shadow, sun reflection on a braid of hair.


Una visión de la posteridad, una sombra de los antepasados, el reflejo del sol en una trenza de cabello.





I have seen the sun reflect on a braid of hair while looking at our grandparents. A reflection of the sun on a braid of hair cast a shadow from our history to posterity.



Glimpse-  I have never forgotten a picture sitting inside the camp at Kilburn. Warm sunlight on a grandchild's braided hair. Looking at and talking with grandparents. The shadow cast on the bench behind them somehow cast a shadow toward posterity.


He visto el sol se reflejan en una trenza de cabello mientras mira a nuestros abuelos. Un reflejo del sol en una trenza de pelo de una sombra de nuestra historia para la posteridad.

Visión-que nunca he olvidado una foto sentado en el interior del campamento en Kilburn. Cálida luz del sol en el cabello trenzado de un nieto. Mirando y hablando con los abuelos. La sombra proyectada en el banco detrás de ellos de alguna manera una sombra hacia la posteridad.









Psalm 22:30

30 Posterity shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation;(ESV)
30 La posteridad le servirá; esto se dirá del Señor hasta la generación venidera.(LBLA)
