“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.   “You shall have no other gods before me.”  Exodus 20:1-3 (ESV)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reflecting on the retired times of our life
The messy worldly ways in modern strife.

Tired of the tears streaming down our face
Brought on by this treacherous human hostile race.

His characteristics of love and being overtly kind
Our cup runneth over in His eternity bind.

I photographed this on a local trail that I love because it is long, safe and intimately provides inspiration, reflection, beauty and His presence.
