I wasn’t going to do this!

I’m supposed to be washing dishes as I just gave myself a lecture about doing first things first and I imagine I am here doing this as my computer must have become this giant magnet. Last night I was commenting on your eloquent saying about being lost in the woods and I finished dishes about 3:00AM That wasn’t the worst part- Something came and ERASED ther whole thing! I had poured my whole being into those woods and I wanted to reread what it was like there in those enchanting woods. I do remember that I would never run to that deer. I would only observe and let it become aware that I was also a benign part of its tranquil world.Then I would find my way back to the world that was one of horrors for many people and animals and fish and even vegetation and forests. I would try to remind them their Creator promised to ” MAKE ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL IN ITS OWN TIME” As for this present “evil eon” “….concerning all that is done under the heavens: IT IS AN EXPERIENCE OF EVIL ELOHIM HAS GIVEN TO THE SONS OF HUMANITY TO HUMBLE THEM BY IT ” Ecclesiates 1:13 Galatians 1:4 Ecclesiates 3:11 culminating at the time when “…he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither shall there be mourning or crying or pain anymore, for the former things have passed away…..behold, I make all things new….write this for these words are trustworthy and true.” Revelation 21: 3-5 “….THEY SHALL NOT HURT OR DESTROY IN ALL MY HOLY MOUNTAIN: FOR THE EARTH SHALL BE FULL OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD, AS THR WTAERS COVER THE SEA.” iSAIAH 11:6-9 There will be the time when I can run to the deer and it will welcome my embrace because perfect ” love casts out fear.”
