| | In 1490, two struggling artists,
Albrecht Durer and Albert, his
brother, agreed that one would
work full-time to support them while the other studied. So Albrecht studied while Albert worked, with the understanding
that when Albrecht became successful, he'd return the favour. After attaining enormous success, Albrecht went back to honour their agreement,
only to discover the terrible price his brother Albert had paid. By engaging in hard manual labour, his fingers had become stiff and twisted, and he could no longer paint. But instead of becoming jealous and bitter, Albert encouraged Albrecht and prayed for his continued success. In fact, one day while Albert was prayin Albrecht quietly sketched his brother's gnarled, misshapen hands. Today his masterpiece,
"The Praying Hands," Tell a story of love, sacrifice, and power of
Encouragement!! HTML by Marina @ CookysHomefor OurCreator | | | | | | | | | | |
| | The Australian Wedge-Tailed Eagle
The Wedge-Tailed eagle is an impressive sight soaring above the vast Australian Outback. Aquila audax (meaning bold eagle) covers an impressive range from the snow covered peaks of the Snowy Mountains and the southern island of Tasmania to sun roasted plains of the vast interior. Quoting one source of reference the "wedgie" (as the bird is affectionately known) the bird is the fourth largest in the world's eagle family, with a wing span of 3 metres, and weighing between 2.5 and 4 Kg (5.5 to 8.8 lbs). The spectacular bird is capable of prodigious feats of strength, such as killing prey of twice its weight and size and carrying almost its own bodyweight. Standard equipment for the wedge-tail are wings that allow it to soar for endless hours over the hot interior and dive at its pray at speeds of 100kph (70mph) and eyes five to six times as powerful as a human's, and claws that clamp with a three tonne force. With their commanding eaerial ability the bird can skim the canyon floors or soar to heights beyond 6000 feet. Is 41:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shal run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (KJV)

Via Delorosa
Down the Via dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street But the crowd pressed to see A Man condemned to die on Calvery He was bleeding from a beating - there were stripes upon His back And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head And He bore with every step The scorn of those who cried out for His death Down the Via Delorosa, called the way of suffering Like a lamb came the Messiah Christ the King But He cose to walk that road out of His love for you and me Down the Via Dolorasa all the way to Calvary The Blood that would cleanse the souls of all men Make its way through the heart of Jerusalem Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering Like a lamb came the Messiah Christ the King But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me Down the Via Dolorosa all the way to Calvary
******** (Words & Music by Billy Sprague and Niles Borop) Original recording by Sandi Patty-1983 This is a beautiful song. The Graphic is an oil painting of the Via Dolorsa as it is today, but note the Artist has painted a silhouette of a man carrying a cross as a shadow on one of the walls .... and if you look a little closer you can see the nail scared hands of Our Precious Saviour.

| And O, My God When I in Awesome Wonder,
Consider all the works Thy Hands,have made,
I see the Stars, I hear the rolling Thunder,
Thy Pow'r throughout the Universe displayed. Chorus:
Then Sings my Soul, My Saviour God toThee; How Great Thou Art, How Great Thou Art!
Then Sing my Soul, My Saviour God to Thee;
How Great Thou Art, How Great Thou Art!
When through the woods and forest glades I wonder,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain granduer,
And hear the brook, and feel the gentle Breeze Chorus. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin. Chorus. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what Joy shall fill my heart,
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, My God, How Great Thou Art. AMEN.

The Great Southland This is our nation, This is our land,
This is our future, This is our hope.
A Land of reaping, A land of Harvest,
This is our Home.
Chorus:
This is the Great South-Land of the
Holy Spirit,
A Land of reddust plains and summer rains,
To this sunburnt land we will see a flood,
And to this great South-Land, His Spirit comes. This is our Nation, This is our land,
This land of plenty, This land of hope.
The richest harvest, is in her peoples,
We see revival, His Spirit Comes.
Chorus:
This is the Great South-land of the Holy Spirit.
A land of red dust plains, and summer rains,
To this sunburnt land we will see a flood,
And to this Great South-land His Spirit comes. This is our nation, This is our land,
This lucky country, of dreams gone dry.
And to these peoples we see a harvest,
And to this land revival comes. Chorus:
This is the Great South-land of the Holy Spirit.
A land of red dust plains, and summer rains,
To this sunburnt land we will see a flood,
And to this Great South-land, His Spirit comes.

AMAZING GRACE.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
Was Blind but now, I see.
T'was grace that brought my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved,
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first Believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come,
T'was grace that led me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
My hope and faith ensure,
A shield and stronghold He shall be,
As long as Life endures.
And when this earthly life is past,
And mortal cares shall cease,
I will remain with Christ at last,
In eternal joy and peace.
When we've been there, ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's Praise,
Than when we first begun.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was Blind, but now I see.
AMEN.. | | | HTML & Creation by Marina @ CookysHome | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Dogwood Tree.
An old and beautiful legend has it that, at the time of the crucifixion,the dogwood was comparable in size to the oak tree and other monarchs of the forest.
Because of its firmness and strength it was selected as the timber for the cross, but to be put to such a cruel use, greatly distressed the tree. Sensing this, the cricfied Jesus in His gentle pity for the sorrow and suffering of all said to it: "Because of your sorrow and pity for My sufferings, never again will the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used as a gibbet. Henceforth it will be slender, bent and twisted and its blossoms will be in the form of a cross -- two long and two short petals. In the centre of the outer edge of each petal there will be nail prints -- brown with rust and stained with red -- and in the centre of the flower will be a crown of thorns, and all who see this will remember."

If Jesus Came to Your House. If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two,
If He came unexpectedly, I wonder what you'd do. Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room to such an honoured Guest,
And all the food you'd serve to Him would be the very best,
And you would keep assuring Him you're glad to have Him there-
That serving Him in your own home is joy beyond compare. But - when you saw Him coming, would you meet Him at the door
With arms outstretched in welcome to your Heavenly visitor?
Or would you have to change some things before you let Him in,
Like - hide some magazines and put the Bible where they'd been? Would you turn off the Radio/TV and hope He hadn't heard,
And wish you hadn't uttered that last loud hasty word?
Would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out?
Could you let Jesus walk right in, or would you rush about? And I wonder - if the Saviour spent a day or two with you,
Would you go right on doing all the things you always do?
Would you keep right on saying all the things you always say?
Would life for you continue as it does from day to day? Would your family conversation keep up its usual pace,
And would you find it hard each meal to say a table grace?
Would you sing the songs you always sing and read the books you read
And let Him know the things on which your mind and spirit feed? Would you take Jesus with you ev'rywhere you'd planned to go,
Or would you maybe change your plans for just a day or so?
Would you be glad to have Him meet your closest friends,
Or would you hope they'd stay away until His visit ends?
Would you be glad to have Him stay forever on and on,
Or would you sigh with great relief when He at last was gone? It might be interesting to know the things that you would do,
If Jesus Christ in person came to spend some time with you. Author Lois Blanchard Eades. Food for thought!!!
