He Gently Holds

Jan/1037
The winds would gently echo
Against a blanket of new snow
While life patiently waited
For a brand new season to know
The birds, rabbits and squirrels’
Finding warmth against the cold
While each life patiently waits
For natures song to slowly unfold
The tree so naked, yet strong
Standing firm against each blow
While each bud patiently yearns
For its new life to patiently grow
The fragile world, ever changing
With each season a new story told
Faith in God never-ending shelter
While each heart He gently holds

This is a wonderful card dear and as I was reading I said a prayer for all of God’s creation such as the animals, plants, insects, the homeless, and each family, and home, that God watch over and may God’s warmth warm each soul to make it through the cold. In Jesus name this we pray, Amen.

A Zillion ‘Amens’ to the prayer and the Heavenlike Pics. and Music that go with it.
Same applys to ‘I looked Up’.
I feel warm with Love’s words even in the coldest weather.

Jeffrey: Beautifully written and soothing music. I have often looked at the field from my home and thought…underneath all this snow there is new growth happening and in the seemingly empty branches there are new leaves developing.
By the way, in the two mountains, the left one is a profile of an ape, and in the second mountain I see a profile of a “wise man.” They both appear on the top of the mountain. Am I the only one that sees this ??? Blessings Elizabeth

Elizabeth, I see the ape and the wise man, the images of the two mountain tops…they both are looking westward, and there’s an angel about a inch below the ape’s mouth looking also westward, about 3 inches to the right of the angel there’s a blue whale, you can see the left view of its face, looking in the direction of the wise man. Do you see them? It’s amazing picture, the whiteness of the snow and the moutains, feel so peaceful, just viewing it!

Love: Yeeaaahhhh I finally saw what you see…it took me about 8-9 viewings,but I was determined…
My husband and I use to take many photos and when we developed them, we were amazed that we didn’t see the pictures as they came out when we took them. Somehow, I believe that GOD had a hand in them. Praise the Lord !!!
Blessings Elizabeth

This is Alan Jacksons C D named Precious Memories.He had never recorded A gospel song.He did this at the request of his mother.The whole c-d is beautiful.

I need to apoligize.When I first pulled up this web site Alan Jackson was singing How Great Thou Art.That was the C.D.I was refering to.If you don’t have that C.D. it is beautiful.Once again I’m sorry. Bill Page

It is a wonderful picture with a great view. God creation is so much to explore, all around us, Its good you was able to capture the images and they were a little difficult for me also. I’m glad you see with me what I see and it amazes me!
5:46 pm on January 14th, 2010
Has anyone been alone and viewed a spectacular scene and felt that GOD has chosen you alone to view it, with Him beside you??? I always say thank you GOD…
You have created a beautiful world…
My daughter down south called and said Mom, look at the moon…I did and she said that she is looking at the same moon, too. What a close feeling that was.

The pictures makes me feel so cold but the Lord warms my heart and soul, with us I can see the glory of his light beaming from heaven on us, holding us tightly together. What I feel inside is we’re loved and that’s all I could ever ask for and want.

WHEN THE WORLD SEEMS TO BE ASLEEP A NEW WORLD IS BEING PRODUCED.GOD NEVER FAILS.

Amen! What a wonderful pictures of God’s creation! Nothing we can compare of His compassion and love towards us. He provides all our needs… the air, the water, light and all that we enjoyed in this world but nothing we can compare for the “SALVATION” He hath given us and His Amazing Grace. We cannot comprehend the Greatness of our God. He created all things out of “NOTHING”. Great and Marvelous is our God. Thank You my Lord.
1:07 pm on June 27th, 2010
Amen!
God is beyond our comprehension.
4:50 pm on June 27th, 2010
Amen!
God’s creation is wonderful and it’s amazing how the trees are able to survive the cold and bloom with wonderful color leaves. Well said, “God is beyond our comprenhension”.
