The Old Leaning Barn. A QUALITY TIME POST
#6 COUNT DOWN TO 500TH BLOG POST..AMAZING..A Barn Charm & Spiritual Sunday post and some thoughts that came in an email.
“Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side.”
Like the barn I've withstood a lot of life's storms. I've withstood a lot of bad weather in life, I've withstood a lot of hard times, and I'm still standing too. But I find myself leaning to one side from time to time, so I like to ask the Lord to prop us up on our leaning side, 'cause I figure a lot of us get to leaning at times.
Sometimes we get to Leaning toward anger
Sometimes we get to Leaning toward bitterness
Sometimes we get to Leaning toward hatred
Sometimes we get to Leaning toward cussing
Sometimes we get to Leaning toward a lot of things that we shouldn't.
So we need to pray, “Lord, prop us up on our leaning side, So we will stand straight and tall again, To glorify the Lord.'' I don’t know about you but I’ve done a lot of leaning in my life but not so much anymore. Actually, I’ve been able to help with some propping and I attribute that ability to prayers like this and GRACE.
Sometimes major rebuilding,do over,mulligan needs to be done and I am reminded of the story of The Apostle Saul/ Paul ….
Thought For Today “Keep your head up and eyes straight ahead”

Great series Joe. Good thoughts well illustrated.
Great post, Joe Todd... Love those pictures of you and Linda in your header.
YES--we definitely need God in our lives to help us stand straight --and not lean on bitterness, hatred and anger...
Great 'leaning' barn!!!!
Merry Christmas.

You touched me deeply with these thoughts. Thanks, Joe.
Enjoyed your pictures and your illustration. I enjoy taking pictures of barns.
Nothing wrong with that barn that a lick of paint won't fix :)
Wonderful prayer! The barn is fantastic & I'd sure like to get inside & explore, tho, I'm not sure it's safe! =0
