* “There are some people who have Sun inside them.It’s hard to explain. Their presence just brightens, it’s not about theirbeautiful smiles. They have an internal being thatsheds light and feels like Sun. It’s a calm energy. Inner peace.But most importantly; it’s not wanting anythingback in return. It’s Sun.” ☀️ Serdar Özkan, a Turkish author […]
Their presence just brightens…
In golden rays, the sun does rise,
Awakening Earth with its warm guise.
Flowers bloom, their petals unfurl,
A symphony of colors, a dance of swirl.
With gentle touch, sunbeams caress,
Kissing petals, bestowing tenderness.
The daisies sway, their faces aglow,
Bathed in sunlight’s enchanting flow.
Roses bask in the sun’s loving embrace,
Their fragrant whispers filling the space.
Sunflowers stand tall, heads lifted high,
Gazing at the sun, their beacon in the sky.
Each petal unfolds, a vibrant hue,
Mirroring the sun’s radiant debut.
Their delicate dance, a harmonious sight,
Celebrating nature’s exquisite light.
Together they share a timeless bond,
The sun and flowers, forever fond.
In their union, beauty is unveiled,
A tapestry of life, perfectly detailed.
So let us embrace the sun’s warm grace,
And let flowers bring smiles to each face.
In their presence, find joy untold,
Where sun and flowers intertwine, behold.
Radiant and vibrant…

Can the sun shine in on you?

SUNSET
Now the sun is sinking
In the golden west;
Birds and bees and children
All have gone to rest;
And the merry streamlet,
As it runs along,
With a voice of sweetness
Sings its evening song.
Cowslip, daisy, violet,
In their little beds,
All among the grasses
Hide their heavy heads;
There they’ll all, sweet darlings,
Lie in the happy dreams.
Till the rosy morning
Wakes them with its beams.
The Boom children or Boomers knew very well how important our relationship with sun and earth was. Many of them, being called flower children or hippies, enjoyed the rays of the sun, letting them infiltrate on their bare skin, swimming naked in the wild rivers.
Mankind has evolved under the sun and at regular intervals had a very close and special relationship with it. It even became so bad that some people came to worship the sun. Others considered themselves the centre point of the universe and thought that everything circled around them.
Not everywhere on earth have people got the same cycles, though in fact there came to be counted 365 days, with short ones and longer ones (though now they know it is a 24-hour cycle). In some countries, the sun became too hot, in other regions they were pleased to get some warmth from the sun, whilst at other places, they were happy to have summer and winter. Though the dark winter period was not loved so much. For that reason, some brought more light in those darker days by fires and lights.
Summer, winter, hot and cold, we are part of it and can not escape it, even when we try to go to other places every time the season changes. Lots of elderly British overwinter in Spain. They move around like birds move around when the season changes. As such, we can not ignore that the cycles of nature have a profound effect on us and our health, even when we have evolved as humans to be part of this cycle.
Unfortunately, our modern world breaks these laws of nature. We don’t truly experience the sun, or true darkness, winter, or even hot and particularly cold. We have moved indoors with our artificial blue lit world and temperature control environment.
We are not going to bed to sleep, like the chickens go to sleep when it gets darker. Even if it gets dark, and we have to turn on lights to still see something, we want to continue our day, instead of laying ourselves to rest. Living this way, in a certain sense, we have brought our body (and soul) in imbalance with nature.
Instead of doing natural hunting to get to their food, the majority of mankind became a sedentary society. Sitting most of the day and not giving their body enough physical work to stay healthy. In the 20th and 21st centuries, they became aware they had to do something about physical fitness and as such created several systems for exercising their body.
Having lost the intense relationship with mother earth and the physical food, man also lost the spiritual food.
Throughout the centuries, humans did search for a relationship to be taken between the components of nature and its phenomena. He even went so far as to view natural phenomena as gods that could overpower him, because they were no match for that mother nature.
But with the advancing centuries and new knowledge, man came to understand natural phenomena better, but increasingly forgot who was actually behind them. To supplement what man lacked, he began to acquire more materialistic things that also took him further away from spiritual matters. Due to the fast pace of our lives, man lost control and lost the connection with his Creator, overlooking the necessity of spiritual food!

Life is good today;
Stay like this a while.
Don’t let things fall back
Where they were before.
Freeze things as they are,
Capture time in flight,
Bind its little wings,
Keep the sun alight.

At last we got some nice warmer days, yesterday reaching 34° Celsius. It became time, because we did not have much feeling of a Summer, a few weeks ago even some nights with ground-temperatures under 0° C and in the day time Autumn temperatures.
Pleased to see the Sun now.
Whatever weather comes unto us, we have to make the best out of it and make of each day a new experience worth living.

She is not afraid praying for direction as her life goes through this season of change.
Since high school God has blessed her with an incredible person who has been her best friend from days whenVacationing in our old stomping grounds, she couldn’t help but get snapshots of the things that brought back a flood of memories… {Photographic Memories of Childhood}
Where she lives, in the midwest of the United States, she has probably lots of warm days where she can
sit in the field forever, looking for four-leafed clovers, making necklaces and bracelets that would make any diy’er proud! {Photographic Memories of Childhood}
She had also the luck to be able to travel to every corner of our great nation, though while she appreciate the ocean and the mountains and the desert, and even the big cities, for her
there is no place like home.
where she has a husband-with-a-memory-bank-that-never-runs-out, who is stashed with all kinds of treasure him been trying to teach her to recognize different types of trees for a long time. {Summer of Cedar}
She writes
Some of the most beautiful moments of my life have been watching our family tree grow. As life moves forward, I’m learning to see that ol’ cedar tree in a new light–and I smile–she is more beautiful than what these fading eyes could see. {Summer of Cedar}

Bible prophecies do not deal only with the ancient past. They also accurately foretell events that are taking place in our day. But at the moment we focus at numerous prophecies preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures (commonly called the Old Testament) which long before the man was born told about events which would happen in his time and around him, his betrayal, humiliation, torture, execution, death, and burial. From those writings of the Old and New Testament nobody should have doubts who that man is who is called Immanuel, the son of man and Messiah, born out of the root of Jess in the tribe of king David.
In Scripture, all things are directed towards a man who was a servant of servants, in whom people should come to have faith. First we saw the connection with Eve and her seed, and in this article you may see the connection with Abraham.
Already in the Old Testament we find the focus on a son of man who is called the son of God, who shall be the most pure set apart (holy) servant of God who was been told about in the Garden of Eden, to be the one bruised.
Many Old Testament writers wrote about the prophet to come, about whom is spoke in the book of Moses and who shall be the special “Seed of a woman” given by God and who will bruise Satan’s head whilst his heel would be bruised with nails on the wooden stake.
