Peter thought he would be faithful and stand by Jesus, but he did just as Jesus said he would - he denied him three times before the rooster crowed. Don't we do the same today? Jesus stays faithful to us, but we deny Him in our actions, words, thoughts or even our silence.
A strange Rooster but he makes me laugh.

After note: As Julie pointed out, the Lord did use Peter in the years after and he was a great witness. He did become faithful and true - a true testimony to how we can take a faithfulness failure and turn it into a faithfulness success. Thanks for pointing that out, Julie!

What a fun rooster Nancy! It is so true, we would all most likely be like Peter, but the Lord is so faithful to us! The Lord used Peter mightily in the days ahead and may we all be faithful and courageous when it is time to witness for Him!! Hugs and thanks again for your inspiration, sweet friend!

Nancy, your rooster is so cool! Love the way you did this page, reminiscent of the time Peter denied Christ.... while reminding me to be careful that I, too, do not deny Him.

You are such a talented artist! Great post, it's funny hubby and I were just talking the other day and I mentioned the same thing to him, that how amazing God is that even after denying him, God turned around and used Peter to do so much good in the starting of our earlier church. No matter what is in the past God can always use us for his good, we just need to follow him Such wonderful reassurance that is

Love the page and biblical verse with the rooster. I'm surrounded with chickens and peacocks here in Hawaii. Visiting my son and his family. Your palm trees and beach scene look like my view. Chickens, roosters and peacocks running about everywhere.
