For all the Doves....Again, I have to say what a wonderful "family" the Doves are!!!  I have never seen anything like it...anywhere.  RJ2's post today warmed my heart, but it also made me think of my "need to know" things I don't understand.  I think I'm attracted to his posts because of our differences, and because of his use of the term "Father" for God.  I love that!  It's like we're all Father's kids, and we're all running around doing our "own thing"....and that's a real family, to me.  Maybe that sounds ridiculous, but I've never had the experience of a real loving family, so I really soak it up here.  And Father does things that make us pay attention....like the fact that my first husband's name was "Bob" and his initials were R.J. as well.  But, that's another long story.  He brought to my attention that we are all different "pairs of eyes" and reporting on all the different areas of our! expertise.  And that's what makes up the "body of Christ" which is explained in I Corinthians chapter 12.

What I'm getting at is that there is something I don't know, and I've never really heard it discussed anywhere.  The verse in Revelation 4:6 is:

"And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal:  and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts FULL OF EYES before and behind."

The people around the throne of God are pretty special, and why does Father tell us these things unless He wants us to search them out.  He tells us that everything will be uncovered and nothing hidden.  So, what if we put all our "parts" together to search out who these four "beasts" or "living things" (depending on your particular bible) really are....it would be a wonderful quest to put us all together doing the same search with all our different "eyes" watching everywhere.

I have no clue...or, ma! ybe some distant theories, but nothing  yet as given me my "Aha!" moment.  Do the eyes have something to do with "watching" things that are happening?  We are all instructed to "watch"....and on the 5 Doves site, so many are watching different things....it's amazing!!  I think Father would be very pleased with His children here....viva la difference!!

So, if anyone has any thoughts on this, I sure would be totally open to suggestions...and I think we all would love to know what everyone comes up with....

With much agape love,

YsiC,
