At first glance, this illustration by Warren Chappell looks as if it's depicting a little red schoolhouse. A closer look, however, reveals that the red building is more like a small barn or shed. The part to the right may be an attached shed or a separate outbuilding. The trees are full and leafy and haven't yet begun to turn to their fall colors. A very peaceful-looking scene. I would love to be meandering down this rural byway on a September afternoon, wouldn't you?
The Scripture verse is a favorite of mine. It is so wonderful to know that God is a refuge for His people. And He is absolutely trustworthy!
I love seeing pictures of things that occurred before I was born.lol...they are rare these days!!
ReplyDeleteI thought of you this morning on my way to work when I saw a tree that was all changing to it's fall color. I also like fall, just not a fan of winter though it does make all the other seasons look better :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, ladies!
ReplyDeleteArlene -- I hear you! This one did *not* occur before I was born, but I won't say by how much.
Mrs. D -- that is nice, that you thought of me on your way to work. Here is how I rank the seasons: 1)Fall; 2) Summer; 3)Winter; 4)Spring; 5)Mud. You're right, winter does make all the other seasons look better!
Was it Woman's Day that always included (perhaps still does) a scripture on its masthead? I must purchase one to find out. This is a very cool calendar with great artwork and a beautiful Word. Good news indeed.
ReplyDeleteVee! How delightful to see you here!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was Woman's Day that always included a scripture on its masthead. I haven't seen an issue for awhile, but the last I knew, they did still have a scripture there.
Yes, isn't this a great little calendar? It was a serendipitous find for sure. And this verse is one of my favorites.
