Mission in San Diego, California, at sunset.

This is the veiw at the end of the lane where the cottage I live in is… I know, I’m spoilt! What blessings I am given.
Built around 1815 this church in the hills of Chimayo, New Mexico, is considered a masterpiece of colonial folk art and architecture and has been deemed a National Historic Landmark. Famed for its miraculous cross and the healing powers of the soil, the Prayer Room is filled with candles, cards & crude hand made shrines as well as crutches and braces testifying to miracles. Directly across the road they sell the best chili powder money can buy. /

Genesis 9:12-14 (New King James Version) 12. And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13. I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth,that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; / God’s Promise to Noah, after The Great Flood !!

Captured at Thompsons Creek on an historic private property named Charlemont near Geelong, Australia. Pentax istDS Camera The Covenant / Author: martin steinbrugger Having once beheld His glory shinning down from above… / My drought stricken life is now as a reservoir, / Constantly being renewed with God’s love. There’s only a remnant here and there of my barren past… / For behold God’s promise to heal and renew, / Is most certainly coming too pass. Water of life overflowing my soul… / Bringing forth the blessing and joy of knowing, / It is not I, but God who is in control. Covenant blessing under His bow shall I kneel… / For it is by His stripes and His stripes alone, / That my wounded soul has been healed.

As sure as the sun rises each morning, so it is with God’s Great Faithfulness to watch over, protect and provide for each of us, His children. The dawning of a perfect Autumn day as the sun creeps up through the mist that has settled over Thompson’s Creek, on the historic Charlemont sheep station. Lamentations 3:22-24 (New International Version) / New International Version (NIV) 22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, / for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; / great is your faithfulness. 24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; / therefore I will wait for him. The words to the wonderful old hymn penned back in 1923, still stand testament today! Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father; / There is no shadow of turning with Thee; / Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; / As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be. Refrain Great is Thy faithfulness! / Great is Thy faithfulness! / Morning by morning new mercies I see. / All I have needed Thy hand hath provided; / Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me! Summer and winter and springtime and harvest, / Sun, moon and stars in their courses above / Join with all nature in manifold witness / To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. Refrain Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth / Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; / Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, / Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

The words of the old hymn that inspired the title: When morning gilds the skies my heart awaking cries: / May Jesus Christ be praised! / Alike at work and prayer, to Jesus I repair: / May Jesus Christ be praised! When you begin the day, O never fail to say, / May Jesus Christ be praised! / And at your work rejoice, to sing with heart and voice, / May Jesus Christ be praised!
Sunset at the site of the old homestead at Charlemont sheep station, near Geelong Inspired by the words of the old Hymn: The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended, / The darkness falls at Thy behest; / To Thee our morning hymns ascended, / Thy praise shall sanctify our rest. We thank Thee that Thy church, unsleeping, / While earth rolls onward into light, / Through all the world her watch is keeping, / And rests not now by day or night. As o’er each continent and island / The dawn leads on another day, / The voice of prayer is never silent, / Nor dies the strain of praise away. The sun that bids us rest is waking / Our brethren ’neath the western sky, / And hour by hour fresh lips are making / Thy wondrous doings heard on high. So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never, / Like earth’s proud empires, pass away: / Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever, / Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway. The lyrics were inspired by Psalm 42:8
Psalm 23: 2-3 A Psalm of David. / / 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; / He leads me beside the still waters. / 3 He restores my soul; / He leads me in the paths of righteousness / For His name’s sake. Evening on Thompson’s Creek at Charlemont.
The saying “red sky in the morning, shepherd’s warning. Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight” was very true and evident this particular day, at Staughton Vale, near Geelong. / The same warning was also spoken of by Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, in the Bible, centuries ago. Matthew 16:1-3 The Pharisees and Sadducees Seek a Sign 1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; 3 and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. /
A little creativity and some brute strength have gone into making this seat, many years ago, situated along the track to Phantom Falls, in the Otways. Psalm 37:34 / 34 Wait on the LORD, / And keep His way, / And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; / When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
Jesus often went to a quiet place to pray. Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Mark 1:35 A crop from an acrylic abstract landscape painting with decorative side bar and additinal digital effect added.
As always, the long awaited dawning and sunrise never seem to disappoint. / So it is with God’s Mercies and Compassion. / Sunrise on the wetlands of Thompsons Creek at Connewarre, near Geelong. Psalm 130:6 (New King James Version) / 6 My soul waits for the Lord / More than those who watch for the morning— / Yes, more than those who watch for the morning. Lamentations 3:25 (New King James Version) / 22 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, / Because His compassions fail not. / 23 They are new every morning; / Great is Your faithfulness. / 24 “ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, / “ Therefore I hope in Him!” / 25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, / To the soul who seeks Him.

She is so beautiful I had to incorporate her into one of my pieces. I hope she finds her family soon because she is always wandering around alone.

“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, / The crawling locust, / The consuming locust, / And the chewing locust, / My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, / And praise the name of the LORD your God, / Who has dealt wondrously with you; / And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: / I am the LORD your God / And there is no other. / My people shall never be put to shame. “ / ~Joel 2:25-27 Stock Credits: / Sxc.hu / aurochstock.deviantart.com
A golden moment in between two early morning, rather severe rainstorms near Bellbrae, on The Great Ocean Road. Genesis 9:11-17 (New King James Version) / 11 Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” / 12 And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.” God’s Promise to Noah, after The Great Flood !!
