Paul’s Vision and His Thorn

2 Corinthians 12:1-10

 ¹  I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from  the Lord.
²   I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows.
³  And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows—
⁴  was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.
⁵  I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses.
⁶  Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say,
⁷  or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
⁸  Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
⁹  But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
¹⁰  That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.


I believe we all have a thorn in our side.It will be there always just as Paul's was.

Gods Divine Creations!

Tiny little baby feet are the most precious things aren't they? Just look at it.Don't you want to just kiss it??? This is little foot belongs to Kelsie Jean Ready . My first Grand daughter.

Meet Kelsie Jean Ready. She belongs to Ben and Kristina Ready.I am very partial in saying I have the cutest grand babies in the world!!!

If I am not mistaken the red rose means love.God created these as well.Do you ever stop to think about that? He created everything!

A powerful creation.I am so thankful he let me catch this picture.Do you ever think this is what he might like to do to us because we sin against him? People love to say he is a God of love.But the Bible states he is a jealous God and will have nothing before him!!

The rainbow is God's promise to us.As it was to Noah. He is the creator of all things. All the eyes can see.That is how I look through my lens.Stop where you are and take a look around......You will be amazed looking through God's eyes

Obsessed With thw Sky

 

So I am pretty obsessed with shooting the sky.It is Gods creation and never the same.The shapes,sizes and colors.I am never without my camera and am still learning.This cloud formation really captivated me.In my opinion when you look at something and say : that would make a beautiful picture" you have it in your blood.

The sun shinning through are some of my favorites. I like to call this one God's eye.As it is showing through storm clouds.It appeared out of nowhere and didn't last very long.

See all the shades with the blue sky behind it? I am truly obsessed with the sky.To be honest I am just obsessed with taking pictures and I want to get better.The best I can be at it. I hope everyone likes these as much as I do
