Scripture & a Snapshot - Week 68

It's been a while, quite a while since I last posted anything! Winter seems to be such an un-inspiring time of the year for me as far as taking pictures go, but then there is days like this one when the beauty of the snow fall is so beautiful that you can not help it but to snap some shots! right? I guess that really is the only part of winter I love!

Preparation And Expectation!

First Sunday of Advent

On the first Sunday of Advent, we read the beginning of the book of Isaiah, where the prophet speaks in the voice of God and calls the people of Israel to repentance, to prepare them for the coming of His Son. But the Old Testament people of Israel also represents the New Testament Church, so the call to repentance applies to us as well. Christ has already come, at the first Christmas,  but He is coming again at the end of time, and we need to prepare our souls.

The gospel of Luke describes “the glory of the Lord” that shone around the shepherds when the angel announced the Savior’s birth (2:9). Luke also records Jesus’ promise that He will return “with power and great glory” (21:27). These two events frame the purpose for which the Son of God came into the world.

In Latin advent means “a coming.” The weeks before Christmas can be a wonderful season of repentance and expectation as we celebrate our Lord’s first advent in Bethlehem and anticipate His second advent when He returns in glory.

Christ has come! Christ is coming again!

 

 

So . . . sorry!

First of all, my deepest apologies for my long silence! Life has been very hectic and very busy in our home and the last thing in my mind or to do list right now is blogging! I haven't have the time or the inspiration to shoot anything for the past two weeks so I will not be posting any thing her today, nor I will have a challenge going since I just don't have the time right now to dedicate to it the way it deserves it! Hopefully this will change soon, but for now, we will be taking a little break from blogging world! :(

I would like to thank OLIVIA from "Love, Life and Pictures" our last challenge winner for choosing our winner for this time around. She has chosen Koreen's (Winn's Window)  beautiful photo of this wild "kitty", really and awesome shot! So CONGRATULATIONS to Koreen. Please feel free to pick up your winning button found right the bottom of this blog.

That's all for now! Please be careful out there and take care of you and those around you!

Funny looking creatures!

I so LOVE the diversity and variety of wild life we have around here! It used to be VERY rare tough to see Moose in this area but in the last 5 or 6 years it has become a little more common, though really still rear enough. Hubby was out in the bush gathering our winter wood when he saw this pair of moose out in the field feeding in some alfalfa, so he immediately call me on his cell, he knew I would love to capture those two! So I quickly put on my jacket, gloves and tuque, grab my camera and 300mm zoom lens and run out the door! I was so lucky they were still hanging around pretty close to the road and was able to get a few shots before they got skittish and run away! They are such funny looking things and the sound they make it was almost like a cow! LOL!!!

HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Scripture and Snapshot - Week 57

This verse seem so fitting as fall comes closer and closer to and end and you can almost feel the falling snow and the winter coming just around the corner! It also makes me think in all of the goodness of course we have received from him this fall and for the wonderful and abundant harvest! 

Around here we don't get to see much oranges and red in the fall, is mainly yellow, all kinds of yellows, light, dark,  bright but mostly yellows so I am always happy for the very few trees that still let us also enjoy these beautiful colour hues of fall, red and orange!

THANK YOU FOR DROPPING BY, HAVE A BLESSED WEEK!
