Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Painting, and Birds, and Woods, OH MY!

A painting I did on Monday for the Maker Bees group I belong to:
SEASIDE ESCAPE

Bird Watching
TUFTED TITMOUSE

MR. AND MRS. HOUSE FINCH

HOUSE SPARROW

LOVE THE SUN SHINING ON THE TREES

MR. HOUSE FINCH IS SO PRETTY

HOUSE SPARROW

Love the Nut Hatcher and love watching as he walks around on the tree eating bugs, yet he also likes the bird feeder.



FLYING OFF WITH A SEED IN HIS BEAK

MARK HEADING BACK TO THE WOODS TO WORK.

DOVE

DOWNY WOODPECKER, I BELIEVE

FLUFFY CLOUDS


Today Mark and I worked in the woods all day.......after he cut down a tree that was leaning towards the house and was beginning to become uprooted.  He had a chain around it and had it winched so it would fall down the driveway instead of hitting the house.  It didn't work out exactly that way.
IT HIT THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE ON THE EAVE.

NOT TOO BADLY DAMAGED.  AT LEAST IT IS FIXABLE.

MARK HAD TO SHARPEN THE SAW BLADE BEFORE CHOPPING UP THE TREE TO MOVE.

WE LOADED THE BRANCHES ONTO THIS TRAILER SO MARK COULD HAUL IT TO THE WOODS.

ONE FULL TRAILER!


NOW TO CUT UP THE TRUNK.

THIS TRUMPET CREEPER VINE  WAS WRAPPED ALL AROUND THE TREE.


A FEW PIECES THAT FELL OFF THE TRAILER AS MARK WENT TO THE WOODS.


READY TO WORK.

I PAINTED THE SHED.  A FEW ANTS HAD A "PAIN-TFUL" DEATH!

LOVE THIS COLOR.....BROWN VELVET.  CERTAIN WAYS THE LIGHT HITS IT, THE COLOR LOOKS PURPLE!

MARK IS WORKING ON A SHELTER.  HE IS GOING TO USE THE HUGE TV DISH UP NEAR THE HOUSE.  IT IS 10 FEET IN DIAMETER.



After he got the poles braced, he cut the tops of the poles off that were above the bracing boards.  The problem is going to be getting the dish on top!

Mark's birthday was today, so he took the day off and also took tomorrow off.  He still is only working 32 hours a week.  I was going to fix him one of his favorite dishes his mom used to fix.....hamburger casserole, but since we worked so long in the woods, getting back just in time for watching our church service Bobby recorded, I added some tomatoes, beans and onions to the hot dog chili I fixed on Sunday and fixed some garlic toast.  It was very good!

That's it for today!  Thanks for stopping by!  Stay healthy!

Thank You, LORD, for your blessings today and for the work Mark and I were able to accomplish today.
