FOXES & BIRDS . . .

ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER

Another page from a sketchbook brought to mind Jesus’ words in Matthew 8:20. “And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” In context, a man had just stated that he’d follow Jesus everywhere He went. Jesus wasn’t giving a positive or negative response here. He was simply stating fact that a life like His would not be easy. He would wander from place to place and have no place that He could really call home. I suppose that’s what Jesus means. The fact that He would be with us even when we feel alone is also very comforting. The creatures of this world are provided for, and we will be too. Becoming a follower requires submission, but isn’t it so worth it?

I’ll never grow to comprehend the power of your love.

You hold me fast. You treasure me. You guide me from above.

There is no other love like yours. You fill my every need.

You comfort and protect me. For my soul you did bleed.

So, take my life and use it, to serve you in some way.

Help me to share your message today and every day.

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.
