Sunday Seasoned Sayings: Bless the One Who Blesses

By

And live! Oh, let him live!
Deck him out in Sheba gold.
Offer prayers unceasing to him,
bless him from morning to night.
Fields of golden grain in the land,
cresting the mountains in wild exuberance,
Cornucopias of praise, praises
springing from the city like grass from the earth.
May he never be forgotten,
his fame shine on like sunshine.
May all godless people enter his circle of blessing
and bless the One who blessed them.
~Psalm 72:15-17 (Message)

Also posting Goodbye–and Hello over at The Barn Door today. It’s short.

    No black squirrels in these parts 🙂 He seems to have found a great feast split wide open just for him!

    Yesterday was incredibly windy here, and I rode in the back seat of my friend’s car, watching the “amber waves of grain” and thinking how happy it must make God to watch creation dance for Him. It was just the way the Psalm describes it: “Fields of golden grain in the land, cresting the mountains in wild exuberance, cornucopias of praise…”

    Thanks so much for linking up, Sandy!
