A Budding Branch
>> Friday, April 22, 2011 –
joy,
Old Testament
A green Shoot will sprout from Jesse's stump, from his roots a budding Branch.
The life-giving Spirit of God will hover over him,
the Spirit that brings wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit that gives direction and builds strength,
the Spirit that instills knowledge and Fear-of-God.
Fear-of-God will be all his joy and delight.
Isaiah 11:1-3 [The Message]
Blessings, joy and peace to you and your loved ones this Easter weekend!
Love,
Michelle

Blessings to you and yours.
To you, too, sweet friend. :)
I don't know why, but this reminded me that it's also Earth Day today and that Jesus is the real reason why earth sings!

Beautiful Michelle. And that photo is gorgeous. Happy Easter! :)
"Fear-of-God will be all his joy and delight."
If you'd asked me what Christ's joy and delight was, I don't think that would have been my first answer. Hmmm. Such food for thought.
Happy Resurrection Weekend to you and yours, Michelle. Thanks for the blessing you are.
Happy Easter, Michelle!
Thank you for this beautiful Easter gift. Blessings to you and your family, Michelle...
"A green sprout," and "a budding branch" -- how perfectly your photo captures that. Thank you for this Easter blessing, Michelle. I so enjoy your blog. (Thanks for the comment you left on my blog, too.)
Be of good cheer,
