Monday Writing by Storm Hendrickson.....11/14/16

Good morning,

The writing today was by Storm Hendrickson. The title is "LOOKING WITH SPIRITUAL EYES." Her theme is that when we look at things with eyes that see in a more spiritual way we see things of beauty to admire due to our sight that is enhanced through the eyes of Jesus. Storm wrote, "...if we look at them with our spiritual eyes we may see something very lovely. If the "son" shines upon them or from within them."

Hope your Monday is marvelous. Please continue to pray for our country,

God bless,

Corinne & Storm

Here is the Monday devotional.

Looking With Spiritual Eyes

Yesterday I was driving East to my brother's place. 

The sun was setting in the West behind me. 

The sky was a grayish blue. `

It had sprinkled earlier and a rainbow was created. 

The sun was shining on the tree tops before me and made them      really stand out. 

I wish that I had my camera.

The color of the leaves were brilliant. 

The rust and gold really stood out and was lovely to see

      with the light from the sun 
                shining upon it. 

I had a thought.....

A few days before I had said to someone that the leaves on the         
       trees were not as pretty as they have been in the past. 

I remember them being fire engine red, 

       blazing orange, and bright yellow. 

However, for the past couple of years the leaves have been rust,          
        dark red, and brownish yellow. 

Sort of disappointing and not as nice to look at.

Yesterday, although the leaves were still rust, dark     red, and a brownish yellow in color, but when the   setting sun hit them they were beautiful. 

I certainly was not disappointed with what I saw. They were very pleasing to the eye. 

People are like that too. 

Not everyone is beautiful or nice to look upon 

 if we see them with our human eyes. 

I'm not just talking about outward appearance, 

but also their character or personality. 

However, if we look at them with our spiritual 

eyes we may see something very lovely. 

If the "son" shines upon them or from within them.

WOW! 

But Jesus turning and seeing her said, 

"Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well." 

At once the woman was made well.

Matthew 9:22
