Jesus is praying for all of us who choose to believe in Him and this is what He says: ‘ I have given them your word, God ,and they are hated even as I ,Jesus ,am hated but I pray that they stay in the world and that you God keep them safe from the evil in the world. Sanctify them through your God truth, your word is truth. I am sending them like you, God sent me, Jesus…
John 17: 14 -18 ( Sandy’s summary. The words are mostly in red in this chapter showing that Jesus is speaking.)
Life is divided into three terms – that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.

They smell of curry but you can’t eat them.
Lavendar flowers in purple can be used as a flavour in biscuits and cakes.
Simply these two

in a white bone China tea cup.
Live a life full of gratitude, intellectual curiosity, and never stop learning.

Spiky trailing rosemary in the middle with miniature pansy faces looking over the edge.
Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

A lively group.
This is a wonderful day I have never seen this one before.

I tried to paint one of these little groups of flowers but while I enjoyed doing it. The flower’s delicate lightness avoided me. They are stars.

A personal note. Today was a sad day for us. A well known British journalist died of bowel cancer. George Aligiah’s voice and kind demeanour has been part of news time for years here in the UK. We will miss this person very much.
George was taken far too soon.
Yes, it is very sad. He had a wonderful way of showing sympathy and kindness in his voice but so professional.
Such a pretty arrangement! Just love Maya Angelou. Great post. xx
So glad you liked the post.
3 beautiful little flower arrangements Sandy🙏Sad about George Aligiah. He was a lovely presenter
Thank you. Yes, he was.
I love the floral arrangements and the use of cups, sitting on a book of gratitude. Bless you. I heard about the Journalist. I have seen him on air a few times, but I am not a great fan of the news. We pray for strength for his family. 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you. So glad you liked the flowers and book. I do watch the news on TV still…🤣 Yes we pray for his family. It is tough.
Indeed ❤️
The teacup arrangements are darling, Sandy! I’m sorry your country lost a wonderful man.
Thank you. We will miss his voice.
I love the flowers in the tea cups, Sandy. Very sweet.
So glad! They are little but impactful if given the opportunity.
