For Each Of You, Our Veterans-God’s Soldiers,The Faithful

 

 

The good news is upon all of us, regardless of today’s press, I know that God is on our side, Amen!!! The 3 exclamation marks mean The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, now once you see that I do not have to write it out each time, Amen !!! see how easy that is.

You probably think what is Jimmy doing with these 3 images today, 2 Black Eye Susan, cut mums in a vase and a young foal just starting life, what do they all have in common, is there a common denominator in all this? And how do Veterans fit into this type of story, why does Jimmy keep blessing the veterans, why o why? Isn’t it better to bring things to light while there is time, and if you recall what happened to Humpty Dumpty.

I have many, many friends near and far and this is possibly the beginning of one of my most important stories in a month. Abiding in God’s love and go where he calls seems easy enough, but how many of you listen and go do as the soft voice of the Lord ask of you? I guarantee will change your life for the better, trust your inner voice and the first impression is the correct one, don’t let that SOB of a negative critic jump in there, shut’em down right on the spot, and go do your first order that came to you, you’ll start to know that God is in charge once you do.

Getting back to the story at hand, you say Jimmy I do not have all day to read this long winded blog, ok take your time and spend 1 minute today and 1 minute tomorrow, however long, where are you going to be in such a hurry, but in no time you will learn and get the message, no need to rush we have all eternity, Jesus is in control of time now and for ever more and I thank God for his eternal message and while Heaven is awesome, he has asked me to come to earth to abide in love and kindness, no matter how the wind blows, and like our fellow veterans, having spent 6 years in the Army, every Veteran knows how the winds blow while serving, whew and how the wind continues to blow for our veterans. The Lord as our Commander in Chief has already paid our ransom in red blood, on the cross, so I thank you Jesus for this love to save me and all people everywhere regardless of their accepting Jesus, Jesus is still Lord over all, no exceptions, not even one.

Two Scriptures today, 1. Colossians Chapter 1, verse 12 and Jeremiah Chapter 17, verse 7.

This is easy to remember: What the Word FORGET really means”

F-faithful

O-omnipotent Father

R-Royal

G-gratitude

E-everlasting love

T-thanks Be

Now back to the 3 paintings, the Black Eye Susan, mums, and young foal. Any guesses, probably a few?

Like the human race we are sort of in the fall or autumn of and moving toward winter. The Black Eye Susan common wildflower gracing our fields in late summer has the very deep purples and yellow, there are 2 of them. In the mums there are 3 white blossoms in a green vase and the young foal having been just born in the spring in May reminds me that new life continues to come faithfully not listen to the critic, who would try to convince there is no reason, since everything eventually dies, but remember this is the Lord’s Earth, that he created and everything in the air, water and earth and we are to celebrate his gift of life, to live abundantly and when things get tough, I defer immediately to Jesus and in his name all is possible.

The first painting 2 flowers the second painting 3 flowers so that is 23, and Psalm 23 comes to mind, and the foal with 4 legs reminds me of all living things are possible because of, 3 in 1-!!! and every living thing is connected to !!! making 4 in 1, hence the 4 legs that hold the grown horse to the earth are possible because of God.

May everyone have peace and love, and If I can paint for you speak up, I love to work.

Love Abides in All Things, God’s Mystery

Just for a day peace and understanding and bringing people closer to one another. Seems that families seem we are not blood related but the whole human race is from the blood of Abraham, and a stranger is just a friend I have not got a chance to visit at this time.

My wish is that families open their homes to others and help many more in a year’s time, start today, and never forget we are strong together, please connect, no one left behind but all together. Your love will heal and make whole once again to give is the gift of receiving, yep, and a dog ( spelled backward is God, awesome) will help heal your heart too, they love unconditionally and I have a very great dog in Bubba our Black lab, I am sharing an image, an oil painting of him and God has blessed me so richly not in things, but in love and so many many loving friends too.

I’d like to share a story about a young American Artist his name is Dylan Pullis and such a very gifted student a Senior in Graceville, MN High School, parents Craig and Stacey Pullis. I am so lucky to know this wonderful artist and he painted a great work of art a few years ago, and gifted to me, that is a treasure to me and is my studio. I have been mentoring Dylan and encouraging the past few years. Dylan is going to attend college in the arts and I know that he’ll be so good at whatever he does.

Have a great day and may your day be filled with love and peace.

Ann Hueper, Yes Madam, This is For You, Yes, You Dear!!! Called “All Knowing “

Dear Ann,

God has blessed me in everyway possible and he has granted me the wisdom of painting and today I share this with you and your family, in Jesus name I pray for your life, that you continue to know that David is safe and loving heaven, and is with our Lord Jesus Christ, and in that day when we all come together what a feast we will have and talk about celebrations, such a welcome is hard to imagine here on earth as we know earth today.

This painting is called ” all knowing ” just like you this sow is very wise and a great mother too, the cubs are in the background and you do not see them but they are there, maybe you can visualize them, about 1/8 her size at this time. This is your black bear painting Ann, and I wish you peace and most of all love.

I have painted steadily for all of you, in honor of David Hueper your loving husband, he is not forgetting you or any in your family. I have met all your children and I can say they are the most beautiful adults, you and David are wonderful parents and the children are very respectful and honor you and David all the time. God is smiling for this is one of his just and loving commandments.

I am painting Grant and Becky and Tammy and Roger painting tomorrow, and Craig’s elk in the mountains I started today and will finish too in the morning.

Peace be yours and thank you and all your children for gifting me David’s walking cane made from diamond willow, such a blessing and I will always cherish and I will use when hiking in the mountains.

Peace, joy, happiness, and most of all Love.

What makes a Painting?

Ever wonder why a painting speaks to you, you do not know the artists and yet the work is wonderful. Go with it, appreciation is heart felt and a part of who we are. I am very grateful to be painting today at this time.

I think art is a very special medium and one thing as a painter I love color and that translates for me to a way of seeing, a way of loving my subjects for people and sharing that love, color is love. Awesome, my color is love, kindness, and peace..

These four paintings are unique and as you view can you say how they appear, what do you think, they are small 5″ x 7″ and 9″ x 12″ with a lot of thought going into each one.

Peace and may your days be bright and happy. If I can paint for you let me know. I paint wildlife because I love all the birds and animals with all my being and God’s creation is meant to be honored just like people, animals teach me greatly.

” Grief, 5 Stages Presented by Elisabeth Kubler Ross

The pass of loved ones, or any form of death is a very stressful time for the family after a death in the family. The odd thing is that the sequence as studies by Kuber Ross is not a theory but what actually happens to each of us and pretty much in this sequence. Grief is not a laughing matter and fixing is not like putting a band aid on a stubbed toe, far from it.

The 5 stages are 1.bargining 2. anger 3. depression 4 denial 5. denial then acceptance

Please get a copy of Kubler Roos book ” On death and dying” and try to help others trying to cope with a death in the family.

Please help others struggling with their grief, when you can, and keep the faith and keep praying and calling on Jesus name.

Hawk Ridge, in Duluth,MN On Skyline Drive

My wife Marge is doing a beautiful work, at Hawk Ridge and this is her second year documenting  eagles, hawks, owls, song birds all birds migrating through this area near Lake Superior called Hawk Ridge. Last year Marge and I went often and we both were able to release a red tailed hawk and Goshawk, what an experience. In Marge’s second year she is filling in the areas to complete a beautifully illustrated Blurb Book. Once she has this book completed I’ll work on attaching a link to take you to the Blurb site, where you can review and purchase a copy she might have both an e book and a hard cover or soft cover, you do the selection based on how you like to read, Her books are awesome and I highly recommend. Here is Marge’s Blurb.com site:

Stacey,Kim, Jerri, Grant, Tammy This is For You and To All Veterans, If You Please

I painted this small chickadee painting in the past year in honor of our Lord Jesus. The chickadee is on Jesus leg do you see him? Right now doesn’t seem quite fair that you no longer have a father, and I remember when both my parents passed away was sudden and no time for me to travel 700 miles to Toledo  to be there. When your family asked me to come and visit your dad at the VA Hospital, being a Veteran myself, for 6 Years in The Army National Guard, I knew your dad was a wonderful man, since he was discharged with honors. On my stay with your family, I met everyone except Jerri who was unable to visit. Being a part of our parent’s sickness is a big way of Honoring your Mother and Father as Jesus asks all of us to do. If you can be there give it your best and call a friend again like you did me. I learned a lot about honoring our parents while helping David and your family and I thank all of you, and my wish is to help you heal and to laugh again as David would love to see even from Heaven.

This painting is called ” Jesus Love For All, Even a Chickadee ”

As I promised each of you, I have framed being made now, and I am going to start to paint for each of your families, and very special Jimmy Springett original, in honor of your loving father and Mother Ann, such a wonderful mother you have. Hi Ann, I like that chicken soup too, peace dear, and we’ll see you on next Wednesday at Little Falls, MN at Camp Ripley.

With Love,

For The Love Of God

Everyone from time to time wonders about life and as they are passing through, are they doing the right things. A lot of the answers are right within each of us and I’ll share my thoughts on how I love the work of an artist.

I was not a trained artist and my whole life was spent in science, I worked close to 40 (35) years for 3M company and when I was about 45 years of age, after a divorce, and a lot of heart ache, I started to paint. Many things can happen in ones life and in my case was a divorce. It was a blessing in many ways and as I look back can see that my first wife was not in tune with me at all, and in my present marriage to Marge, we have challenges but I am learning how to love, thank you dear. In a marriage your spouse is either for you 100% (and you will know) or against you, there is no in-between. Life lessons are for a reason to give you strength for the plan God has for you in the coming years, one milestone or several milestones do not define a life and so if you make mistakes don’t fret happens all the time, just make your journey corrections and keep going. Marge and I love to travel and to do our photography and then later I paint.

Back to art and painting. Painting for me is like the air I breath and God has been good to lead me to the water of life and I thank Jesus for everything. This year was fun I was accepted into the Oil Painters Of America and next year I am going to travel and participate in OPA Events. Great fun.

In today’s painting Psalm 23 comes to  me and I love the power in this and when ever you get into trouble go to this Psalm and God’s grace will protect you from whatever is happening. Remember you are not battling flesh and blood but dark powers and you need God’s assurance to protect.

Keep the faith and remember God love’s you, w love Jimmy Springett-wildlife painter

David Hueper, Sir Yes Sir To Thee We Love, To Veterans Everywhere

The signs of being a Christian are apparent in the works that a man and women does while here on earth, This is a list of the Lord’s attributes and when David walked in Jesus shoes you can get an idea of how he was lead by Jesus.

Before sharing this story I want to thank the Hueper and Pullis family for inviting me to spend time with all of them at the VA Hospital during this very difficult time. I’m a family friend through the Family of Craig and Stacey Pullis who live in Graceville ,MN, their son Dylan who is so gifted as an artist, the two of us have been working together to help develop Dylan’s art. My name is Jimmy Springett and I am a wildlife painter.

David Hueper an Honorable Veteran passed over yesterday at 500PM on 10/09/2013 and wife Ann and daughter Stacey were ever present during David’s transformation, and resurrection to join and be with our Lord Jesus in Heaven. Thank you sir for your wonderful service to God First, our Nation, and for being the kind of friend, dad, and husband. God is delighted with you,and you are a Son Of God and decedent of Abraham.

From  listening to the family share stories with me over the past week and half I have seen a very unusual and wonderfully compassionate man. This is my Father’s attributes and David has so many of these himself.

Our God:

1. God exists and is our Creator of the universe and mankind.

2. God is Everywhere( Psalm 139, V 7-12)

3.God has unlimited Power and his strength an might have no limits.

4.God is sovereign and do what he pleases when ever he wishes. God has a plan and a purpose for all an will unfold at a time of his choosing. He is the master and we are the servants.

5.God is truth, God’s knowledge is perfect and flawless and He is the final standard of truth.

6. God is holy, so pure and unblemished that he can not look at evil, and He hates sin.

7. God is righteous, righteous and justice describe His actions in dealing with humankind.

8 God is good, God is the final standard of god and all that God is and does is worthy of approval.

9. God is loving, that He Himself is Love!.

These are 7 things God hates, a proud look,, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies and one who sows discord among brethren.

David, Sir Yes, Sir you have done good all the days of your life and I thank God for such a loving family, peace be yours Sir, and we’ll meet in Heaven. Amen and Amen!!! God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.!!!

May the the Lord our God be with us as he has with our fathers; may he never forsake us. May he give us the desire to do his will in everything, and to obey all his commandments and instructions he has given our ancestors. And may these words of my prayer be constantly before him day and night, so that he helps me and all of Israel in accordance with our daily needs. May people all over the earth know that the Lord is God, and that there is no other God at all. O my people, may you live good and perfect lives before the Lord our God; may you always obey his laws and commandments, just as you are doing today.” Amen and Amen
