A Story in 41 Words: Stupid Monkey

My submission for Thursday's Can You Tell A Story hosted by Esther Chilton. Thank you!

The balloon escaped and went up, up, up! "No one's gonna hold me down!" "Fancy that!" Said the lil 'ol lady as she stared in a trance. Suddenly, from her satchel, poked out her tiny pet monkey reaching for the balloon.

Kindle or Kobo? Hmmm

Scripture & A Snapshot - Faith at the Dawn of History

Hello once again! Here is my submission for A Fresh Cup of Coffee Scripture & a Snapshot. Thank you.

I was doing a study on Abraham and how he was called the Friend of God. His faith was epic and he was among many patriarchs that had all died in faith, without having yet received the promises from God. But they were assured and embraced them! And had a desire that was immensely better. Seeking their heavenly country (home). How encouraging and I want to do that as well. Such an encouraging example. 

"Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.
For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

For yet a little while,
And He who is coming will come and not tarry.

Now the just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.

But we are not of those who draw back into perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul."

📻By His Grace - song lyrics | Hebrews 11:6 ~ He Is video

By Your Grace

I give You back my love

For in You I have no life
I know You want me to follow

Your rainbow
You sanctified my life

How could I ever forget You
You know I'm nothin' without You
Father, forgive me, Father forgive me

By Your grace, I am born again into Your arms
By Your grace, I am leaving this world to be with You (2x)

You will never let me go

Or leave me far behind

As long as I am certain

It is You I want to find

No, You will never let me go

Or leave me far behind

As long as I am certain

It is You I want to find

I want to be Your child

And You have so much to teach me

I sometimes take You for granted

But I'm grateful to You

To grow within Your love

Is the desire of my heart

And see the land that awaits me

For heaven is mine, For heaven is mine

Chorus
