Empty Jars?

First things first, yesterday's poem was compiled from "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" by Robert Service, "A Winter Night" by Robert Burns, and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.

 Okay, so what's the deal with this blog being called Provender Place and there's a picture of empty jars?  Isn't provender food or provisions?  So where's the food?

These jars represent things believed in and hoped for, but yet unseen.  It is the seed going in the cold March ground that will yield food in the months to come.  It is our eternal home in Heaven when our life here on earth is done.  It is the joy in seeing nature at her finest that no camera can capture so you hold tight to the memory.  It is the smell of Grandma's kitchen.  It is the thrill when your hand is caressed by your beloved.  It is the comfort of a cozy quilt, a good book, and a cuppa in front of the fire on a frosty winter evening.  In short, it is the finest things in life!

So here's some of the provender in the "empty" jars.

 Safety & Trust




"The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe."  Proverbs 29:25











                                                

  Joy

"But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You."  Psalm 5:11

                 

             
Peace

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."  John 14:27






                                                         

Hope

"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

What's your food for the journey?  What's in your "empty" jars?
