Sunday's House of Prayer for All People 08-28-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Sunday.  Welcome to the House of Prayer for All People located in Winnsboro, SC.  From what I've read, the House of Prayer for All People believes in "One God, One Faith and One Baptism".  This is a beautiful place of fellowship for all.  I enjoyed the opportunity to make photographs at this location.

I hope you had a beautiful Sunday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Moon Love Monday 12-28-15

Hello and happy Monday.  Today I want to give you the moon.  You probably know the old saying,  "I see the moon and the moon sees me.  God loves the moon and God loves me."  I photographed this moon the day after Christmas.  On Christmas it was a complete full moon, but where I was there were clouds and I didn't see it at all.  A friend of mine did and posted a picture of the full moon through a telescope and it was great!  A day later without a telescope and just a little less full and in between cloud cover and this is what I got.  I'm going to need to save up for a telescope!  

I hope your Monday was as full of love as this moon.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Above The Clouds on Christmas! 12-25-15

Hello and happy Friday.  Merry Christmas!!  Sometimes I wonder how God views the Earth.  Does God sit above the clouds and look down with super zoom vision to see every nook and cranny and every person walking above?  When God isn't using super zoom vision and sees something like this photo I took from a plane, is there a thought such as, "How beautiful the creation appears"?

As I see this photo, I do think how beautiful the sky, the clouds and the ground look from above.  And I wonder how, if everything looks so lovely, how can it ever be bad?  Yes, sometimes looks are deceiving, people are deceiving and things are not always well. Today I am really missing my mother, who went above the clouds to be with God earlier this year.  While the emotional pain is almost unbearable at times, I am so grateful that I had her in my life, that I was blessed to have her for my mother and that she will always be with me in spirit.

But today, today is Christmas.  Today is a time for joy, for family, for fellowship, for gratitude, for Jesus.  For me, today is peace, love, forgiveness.  Today ALL is well, just as I perceive it to be in this photograph.  When I look at this scene I think of a song called "From a Distance", sung by Bette Midler.  Look it up on youtube.com and listen to it if you care to and you'll hear the beauty that I see here.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.  Be kind to each other.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Sunday's Watching

It looks like someone is watching out for me this Sunday.  I like that.  It's always nice when someone has your back.  There's a kind of peace that comes with it that you're safe and no harm will come.  I think we all like to feel like that.  Louise Hay does an affirmation that goes, "I am safe in the universe and all life loves and supports me."  I admit that I repeat that every day and I feel so loved and protected.  I also feel love for all as well.   Ahhhh, Sundays are indeed wonderful days!  Sometimes I feel like it's Sunday when it's really another day of the week, but I'm like - why not keep that wonderful feeling of Sunday all week long?  Do you think God does that?  God IS love after all so wouldn't God like it if we kept our good feelings of Sunday all week long?
Well, whatever you're doing today and whatever you believe, I hope you have a wonderful day.  It could be that someone is watching over you and has your back.
Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Sunset Good Friday

The boats are quiet tonight on this Good Friday sunset.  Maybe they're not all fishing boats, but when I see this picture I think of the phrase Jesus used about "fishers of men".  This is a special Friday and weekend and reminds me that I believe God is love!  I do believe in Jesus and God and I do believe that God is love.  I also believe that a lot of hate, war and murder is erroneously credited to God.  People choose to believe what they believe and some people really do believe that God wants war and God hates.  I prefer that God wants what John Lennon sang about in the song Imagine.  Can't we all just get along and love each other, no matter what?  When we spread and nurture seeds of love, then hate cannot grow.

Thank you for indulging me tonight.  Thank you for looking.  I wish peace and blessings to all.  See you tomorrow.
