A picture from Terri Justice of her son Jesse and daughter Jamie; all
dresses up in 19th century western garb. Very nice indeed!!! Nostalgia
for a former time can be a good thing; especially if that era was one of
plenty and serenity. And so my thoughts went to a book of the Bible
that I don't think of as much as I should...
Lamentations, Chapter 5 (NASB)
Lam 5:19 You, O LORD, rule forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.
Lam 5:20 Why do You forget us forever? Why do You forsake us so long?
Lam 5:21 Restore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored; Renew our days as of old,
Lam 5:22 Unless You have utterly rejected us And are exceedingly angry with us.
Lam 5:20 Why do You forget us forever? Why do You forsake us so long?
Lam 5:21 Restore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored; Renew our days as of old,
Lam 5:22 Unless You have utterly rejected us And are exceedingly angry with us.
Jerusalem was destroyed, famine was the rule and depression and
discouragement abounded. In times such as this human beings often seek
God. And so, even bad circumstances can lead to good actions. I hope
that the U.S. never has to face something like the fate of Jerusalem,
but if it does, then this passage will provide hope. So, let us
remember the past and learn from it! And if, along the way we just
happen to find beauty, truth and an application for ourselves, then it
will have been time well spent!!!
PS - Once again, NICE PICTURE; I especially like her fancy dress!!!
