They are almost in bloom. The garden’s only roses left on the plant. They may or may not fully open, but we celebrate that they are here. I place them with words in between that are truly ancient.
In the year AD 185, Irenaeus wrote: ” Luke, the follower of Paul, put in a book the gospel preached by him.”
From this book of Luke, I find where the decisciples ask Jesus to do something:
” Lord, teach us to pray.”
These are the words Jesus taught them with Luke leaving out the last line that Matthew includes in what was said.
Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done , as in heaven, so in earth.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Luke 11: 2-4
(For Thine is the kingdom, and the power andthe glory, for ever.
Amen)
Matthew 6: 13
” The Lord longs to have those who seek after God believe in Him who is able to do all things.”
Happy birthday, dear Shelly. From Sandy😘
We are sisters
who have lived
and brought up families
far apart
but
have always brought lifes tapestry,
of joy and pain,
separate and together,
to view the richness of its colour.
Today, I remember your birth 65 years ago.
I am so glad you came into my selfish little world to make it so much bigger.
Your writing of Life’s Tapestry made me think of this song I wrote a long time ago. Hope you enjoy it, Sandy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLrI0CRhyaQ
Thank you. I appreciate your share. I’m glad it brought back a happy, creative time .
Beautiful flowers and great writing as always. 💗🙏🏾
Thank you, Anneta. We will have frost, so we will see if they open.
☺️I hope they open before.
Oh wow! Your poem made me cry. It’s SO BEAUTIFUL! So glad you’re my sister. May I share it somehow on my fb page? Thank you🥰🥰🥰
I don’t know how you do that. Roy shares with the walkers, but you are more than welcome.
I need to correct your poem 😄. You were never selfish – just the opposite. A more generous sister could never be found. 🤗
How reassuring. I don’t feel that way. Let us forget how I feel, we are lucky to be friends and sisters. Have a great day!!!😘
By the way glad you liked it!🤣😘
