ROOSTING IN THE KITCHEN

STIIL SPRING...but outside temps are in the low 90s.  
91 here at 1 in the afternoon.  SUMMER has come early.  MISTER ROOSTER has migrated to the Garden Window.  He had been in the screened in porch.  He'd been there for 3 years as he had a smoke odor from our 2016 house fire.  

Being fond of him, I didn't want to toss him.  So I let him air out in the porch.  He lost that stinky smell and flew the coop with my help he landed in a sunny Kitchen spot.  Placed a wreath hanger alongside and called it good.

Lovely SUNDAY today.  

I will be staying cool inside,

At the rooster’s crowing, Peter remembered Jesus’ words and “went out and wept bitterly”    ( Matthew 26:75 ). The rooster represents Peter’s denial of Christ and also stands for his remorse and repentance upon hearing the rooster’s crow. The rooster, as a symbol, becomes a call to repentance.

In many cultures, the rooster’s habit of crowing at the dawning of each new morning made it a symbol of the Christian’s victory of light over darkness and the triumph of life over death. Thus, some churches use the rooster as a symbol of resurrection. Other churches see in the rooster’s heralding of a new day a symbol of the church’s responsibility to proclaim God’s new era of grace and forgiveness to a darkened world.
