Watercolor Coffee Time

We hope you enjoy this Sunday afternoon art post, the loose watercolor Coffee Time.
The Source Of Redemption
[image error]
Today we honor a living God, One who makes free, and free forever. We celebrate a King of more than land, sea, and air, but a Sovereign who conquered death, hell, and the grave. We rejoice because He knew us, and yet loved us enough to die for us.
Because of His Resurrection, we live a free, and abundant life. Today we celebrate Jesus, the source of Redemption. He is our Joy on this beautiful Sunday!

Every new cup of Coffee to a Coffee drinker celebrates Christmas, Thanksgiving, and your birthday. This was the bottom of my coffee container this week, and that shape wasn’t planned.

TCSC Ep 5 – Hiring The Hated Man
[image error]
“I’d like to think they will fall in love. That we helped them find each other.” I said to my, now unrecognizable, husband. “Perhaps. But they were both so shy, I don’t know. What I do know is that we’ve got an hour to find Kurt before we have to disappear all over again.”
He said this as we got in the car he had just bought for two thousand of the ten. We couldn’t rent a car if we were supposed to be on that plane. About ten minutes into the drive he started telling me his plan.
“Kurt could buy and sell the Caribbean islands, he doesn’t have to kill for a stamp. Especially for that stamp, it is not even unique. Also, why send the victim to me?”
“According to our brief conversation, he was doing Kurt a favor. Why not hire me himself? He had to know the man would die. He has to be behind the poison. Unless… Lotty, change of plans. See that hotel, we’re staying there tonight.”
“Monty, what are you thinking? Are you saying Kurt isn’t the murderer now?” He nodded, while he turned the car.
“Oh, he was definitely behind the murder. Except, my mistake was thinking that Kurt was the brain behind the killing. I missed the fact that he was merely the muscle. An unless I’ve guessed wrong, he was also the next to die. I suspect he’s dead now.”
“Why do you think he’s dead? What piece fell into place? What did you remember?”
“It was the handwriting. It was different than the victim’s. He told me the envelope was directly from Kurt. I remembered the address. It was shaky, as if written by a nervous or scared man.”
“When did you see the victim’s handwriting to know the difference? I thought you had never met him before? Or were you wrong about that?”
“Oh no, I wasn’t wrong about that. It was my first opportunity to meet the man, but I’ve seen his handiwork. I read a letter from him once, and didn’t care for it’s contents. In it, he said he wished I were dead. That’s why the case intrigued me. You have to be desperate, to hire a man you hate.”

Trust, Remember, And Believe
[image error]
Trust God, when you don’t understand, remember how He brought you through the last time you didn’t have an answer. The next time, you feel overwhelmed, remember that He said you’d experience tribulation, but that He also said He has already overcame it for you. Lastly believe, not only that there is a loving God in Heaven, but a leading God in your problem.
Trust, remember, and believe. We do that with a loved one who’s been loving, faithful, and kind. We give them the benefit of the doubt when something happens. That’s what God asks us to do with Him, nothing more, nothing less.
If we’ll stop to remember, when we’re in a battle, that He remembered us enough to face Calvary, then we’ll know He won’t forsake us now. As a young man, I thought I needed answers. As a middle aged man, instead I ask a different question.
Why should I doubt The One who has never failed me? An why do I need to know how He is going to bring me out this time? For we know Him, and that’s really all we need to know.
