Along the road thoughts………

Before leaving on the trip I’m currently on, was around home for the better part of a couple of weeks. One day, over a weekend, driving back from the lake I saw this roadside scene above.
I was taken by the portrait of Jesus on the left. After delivering family at home, I drove the couple of mile back to shoot this image. When I photograph someone else’s art I ask their permission.
George the artist (in the image to the lower right) was happy to let me shoot some images, mostly because I was using my little P300 and it probably didn’t seem very harmful to have this rank amateur with his little point and shoot making images. We had a nice conversation and I bought a small board sign for my grandson. I left having gotten the images I wanted and more importantly some nice fellowship with a fellow pilgrim moving through the world.

So it goes in life. You can rush
through, very busy, very focused
and missing a lot of the subtle
joys that lie along the path. I
am not suggesting my way is the
only way, or even the best way
but, it’s my way, and it works for
me. I also am very concerned
about sharing God’s love and
you can’t do that rushing by
holding to an impossible
schedule. Take a deep breath
and enjoy the remarkable
experiences and images that
are all around you. For this
week and the next few weeks
I will be in places where very
extraordinary things to photo-
graph will present themselves.
What I won’t do is be too busy
to take a moment and meet
the great people along the way.
They are God’s gift to us, we can
learn much from those that we
take the time to get to know.

Thanks George for giving me a little of your time, and sharing your talent with me. I think God was smiling on both of us.

Slow down and smell God’s incredible roses, His people……..

Blessings,

the pilgrim

I loved this portrait of George with a very gentle application of Glamour Glow.

FLASH…… Prayer request. You guys have proven that you’re real prayer warriors. I had lunch with a friend today and he is facing some challenges in his life. That is another way of saying God is shaking things up and will make them even better for him. He is facing his challenges with the courage and confidence that God is in control. I would like the ask that you join me in asking God for three things for my friend, You can refer to Bill’s friend in your prayers, God knows who he is.
Please pray that he will (1) Be encouraged to keep trusting that God is in control. (2) That God will bless him and meet all his needs, and (3) lastly that he will feel the indescribable peace of knowing that God’s plan is the best plan for His life, that God loves him more than he could ever know, and that he can truly trust God with his life…… My promise to you is that I will share the victory that is coming for him, when he shares that with me. This can be a wonderful exercise in building all of our faith as we see how good God is to all of us.

Thank you in advance for helping me seek His answers for my friend.
