song of solomon

the flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come. and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.the fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes, give a good smell.rise up my love, my fair one, and come away. oh how i love song of solomon. i was asking god to bring me to where to read and here i was, and i thought about how many times god has brought me here and when those times have been. they have been at my closest times with him and definetely when i am out and walking in the love of jesus ministering to others. i always chuckle when i read some of the words and sometimes even blush at the thought of the words that are being spoken. i know there are so many interpretations to what god is saying here and i have asked him more times to explain this book to me than any other. i think and i may be wrong but looking back at the times when he has brought me here, i believe he is saying he is pleased. it is wonderful to him when we are obedient and walking in love and extending the hand of god to others.''awake oh north wind, and come oh south, blow upon my garden, that its spices may flow out. let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its pleasant fruits.'' today was a great day at service although i did get an unpleasant interuption, god is good all the time, anyways. i thought what a mystery that peace that passes all understanding was, even when everything is falling around you, the holy spirit comes and gives you jesus's peace. and your glad, and you look at the situation and you should be crying but you cant, cause over you comes that sweet peace and all you can do in the midst of all the turmoil is praise god. we had an interim, interim pastor today and the message was simple but awesome. she said the love she feels in this church and the presence of god as we were praying at the alter for each other was beautiful. and we had new food pantry recipients in the pews. praise god.............................we also had a wonderful array of desserts as we were celebrating byron's 50th birthday. not so good for our weigh down, but i did go easy. praise god........... we did our deliveries and yesterday, miss rose who is now getting to be a cherished friend called me and said come on lets go out. she had filled the back of her car with pumpkins and we went out and let each child reprsented in food pantry outreach and others pick a pumpkin, the kids were thrilled...... what a way to get to talk to the parents and we did. it was nice.the waters are troubled and we are belly flopping in. praise god..................
