Do you believe a picture is worth a thousand words? I hope so! I’m starting another series on my blog and I would LOVE for you to participate. From time to time I will post a picture. Put your thinking caps on and tell me the first thing that comes to mind. It could be just a few words or more. Here are some suggestions:
– a story
– some type of saying
– a Bible verse
– a memory from your childhood
– how it inspires you
Anything! Just put your words in the comments section. I can’t wait to hear what you think about the first one.
What comes to mind with this Dead or Alive picture? Tell me below. Â At the end of the week I will tell you what I think, but I didn’t want to influence your thoughts!
Have fun and Picture This!
P.S. I will still be posting in my “Still True Today” series…just wanted to have some picture fun every now and then. Enjoy!
I see tangled roots which makes me think of the many way we complicate our lives and the tangled mess God faces to straighten us out. I’m just glad there’s nothing too difficult for HIM.
Love it Loretta!!! I didn’t see the tangled roots….but something else that I’ll share at the end of the week. Love your insight. Thanks!!!
I thought the same thing as Loretta but also saw the new growth that still managed to come out of the tangled mess. That’s God working through our tangled messed!
Ahhhh….you and I are on the same wavelength. I also see new growth! It ties in nicely to Loretta’s tangled roots. Thanks ladies. You rock! 😀
While the roots are tangled, I see growth. And the biggest growth often happens during the ‘tangled’ parts in people’s lives. So to me this represents growth from struggle and chaos.
Thanks Devani! You’re so right…the biggest growth does happen in the tangled parts. Love it. 😀
Love this idea, Darlene. Here’s my thought (a Bible verse): “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
(Jeremiah 17:7-8)
Awesome, Thanks Joan. Love this verse. Perfect.
This is so much fun!!! 🙂
I see life in spite of death
Oooh….I like that! Thanks Gina!
I thought of Anne Dillards book, A Pilgrim At Tinker Creek.
Excellent, Kurt. I love how pictures can make us all see things differently. Thanks for stopping by.
Hey Sissy, I love this pic and all the comments about it are amazing and true. Its harder for me to comment as I was with you when we seen this neat tree. I would say it could show there are definite seasons in our life when we feel dead and messed up but there is hope of NEW life happening at the same time!!!
I see HOPE as well. Hope with new life. Love it. Thanks sissy.
What a tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive Just happened to think of that saying reading some of your friends comments. Eunice.
Yes, that’s a good saying for the tangled roots. Thanks, Eunice.
Thought I’d write my comment here too.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any one be in Christ he is a new creation, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.
Amen, Anne!! Thanks for stopping by.
I see six Allied prisoners of war held in the toughest POW camp in all of Germany. I see a proud, but bumbling commandant and his jovial sergeant trying to keep up with the prisoner’s antics. There problems from the commandant’s general and the local Gestapo Major. But through it all these prisoners persevere. DISSSSSSSSMissed!
Wow…first Gilligan’s Island from your comment on FB and now Hogan’s Heroes. You see a lot in one picture! LOL! 😀
I see out of a lot of death of dreams a new beginning and new hope and new dreams.
Nice! I like it. Thanks Di!
My turn to tell you my thoughts. When I first saw this tree, I knew I had to take a picture of it. I told my sister, “There’s a blog in there somewhere.” I see new life. Admit the pain of this world there is hope and new life. It also reminds me of Spring and the new life that spurts up! I can’t wait for you to see tomorrow’s picture. Thanks for having fun with me on my first “Picture This” blog! Stop by for more.
