Happy Sunday
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican
Luke 18:9-14
9. And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves
that they were righteous, and despised others:
10. Two men went up into the temple to pray;
the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God,
I thank thee, that I am not as other men are,
extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
or even as this publican.
12. I fast twice in the week,
I give tithes of all that I possess.
13. And the publican, standing afar off,
would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven,
but smote upon his breast, saying,
God be merciful to me a sinner.
14. I tell you, this man went down to his house
justified rather than the other:
for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased;
and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
A Blessed Sunday to you.

Happy Sunday to you as well. This classic parable from Luke is such a timeless and powerful lesson on the true meaning of humility and self-reflection. It is a beautiful reminder to carry into the new week about keeping our egos in check and leading with a humble spirit. Wishing you a wonderful, peaceful, and blessed Sunday evening.
I love both the barn shot and the sky!
Happy Sunday! :)
......your barn heaven looks great today!
A great post and a happy Sunday to you!
Love the picture of the red barn.
Hi Karen! I have been praying for David to get that job if it is God's will. Let us know. Have a good week!
I also love the references to the Pharisees. Because, as paradoxical as it may sound, many representatives of faith sometimes fall into the very same behaviours while acting in the name of Jesus. And I connect this closely with prayer, because the most powerful and genuine prayer is often the one offered alone in a dark room where no one else can see you. Wishing you a blessed week ahead
beautiful images, that barn...the sky, breathtaking!!
