So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,
continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him,
strengthened in the faith as you were taught,
and overflowing with thanksgiving.

Therefore, put on the full armor of God . . .
and after you have done everything, to stand.
Stand firm then . . .

(Note: Each time we visit Cades Cove near Gatlinburg, TN, this lone, spreading tree captures my attention, and I've taken numerous photos of it. )

Beautiful verses and I love seeing the tree in different seasons. Have a blessed Sunday.
I love the tree in each season and the words are powerful!
Oh if we could but see the beautiful found in our own seasons purposed by God....lovely posting..much inspiration and encouragement found...
simple...powerful....awesome
I L-O-V-E this! I always had my lone favorite tree on our trip back home - from Edmonton to Winnipeg - and always made sure I wasn't napping when we would get to that place so that I could enjoy it! Awesome photo and especially those thoughts that go with it! My thoughts exactly!!
Change of seasons is always welcoming. Thank you for sharing dear one. Blessings.
I am SO far behind on looking at your beautiful photos and words. I love your header - is that a current pictures?
LOVE the pictures of the tree in the seasonal changes. Just beautiful.
Have a great week!
Beautiful post, Glenda... I often wonder if trees could talk, what would they say??? They have endured so much --yet they stand tall... Awesome!!!!
Love Cades Cove, don't you????
Hugs,
Betsy
I love going to Cade's Cove. What a great capture (all four seasons)!Enjoyed seeing your previous post on the touches of yellow.
Such an inspiring post! I love trees. This tree with the different seasons you have captured is just beautiful!
Dear Glenda,
Thank you so much for your comment, I'm so glad to have a link to your beautiful blog! Our profiles are similar, but I have just one grandson, just 3 months old. I love your splashes of color, it will probably be months before we see that in Wisconsin. I did see a bluebird, I have no idea what they do about food when the snow is on the ground. I attend Oakwood church and often look for Oak trees for our publications...I can see why you have photographed this tree many times, what a beautiful shape!
love the mosaic of that tree through the seasons!
Beautiful words Glenda and the tree as well..Susie
