Today in the late morning autumn mist we got on a full train. ” No reserved seat on our ticket, Sandy.” Said Roy. Then we were tipped off. ” You have 20 seconds to get on to the train behind. Out this door into the next.” “Still going to Manchester? ” I said with aContinue reading “A train ride that leads to…”

Remembering yesterday’s green beans.
Jesus speaking: ‘Don’t do good things for friends or others so people in general will think you are good. God won’t reward you for this. You have their praise as a reward. Do good things so that your left hand doesn’t know what the right is doing 🤣🤣 Your Father God who sees in secretContinue reading “Remembering yesterday’s green beans.”
Sometimes / Some times
A water colour besmeared with acrylic A flower damaged with no stem A yellow centre stigmatised by not being round A vase trashed! A soothing chamomile dishonoured and besmirched. Be grateful. Be satisfied. Be pleased. Smile. A poem written. A painting painted. A day done, a sun disgraced and tarnished in its daylight of deepContinue reading “Sometimes / Some times”
Turkiye 2024
‘ And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas: and God saw that it was good.’ Genesis 1: 10 We once again, as in 2023, travelled with friends who we mostly knew from our Sabbath walking group. Our trip was well planned and booked in January/Continue reading “Turkiye 2024”
Who is Sandy?
No sabbath walk, just a talk. Who am I? I trust in Jesus as my Saviour. I believe in the Bible as the inspired word of God. I worship on Saturdays. For these three reasons, I choose to be a practising Seventh Day Adventist. I am married to Roy. We got married on 29th OctoberContinue reading “Who is Sandy?”
Remembering Jacob part 2.
Jesus speaking:” Go home and tell everyone in your town of the great things God has done for you. “ ( What had God done? Jesus had set him free from many devils.) The whole story is Luke 8 : 26-39 I write my memories mostly because I enjoy doing it, and then my children’sContinue reading “Remembering Jacob part 2.”
The garden pond
Religion ” The light of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is clearly focused, your whole body is full of light. When your eye is evil, your body is also full of darkness..Luke 11:34,35. Woe to you lawyers for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you didn’t enter yourselves, andContinue reading “The garden pond”
Bess
He / Jesus is touched with the feeling of our weakness, He went through so much without sin so we can be brave in His grace and find plenty of mercy when we need it. Hebrews 5:15,16 ( I made it my own. It may not read the same to you.) Because we love BessContinue reading “Bess”
Remembering two different snorkelling “happenings.”
When two countries join to make a panoramic picture in your mind. Then the foreign country isn’t so foreign anymore. The granite of the fjords here in Norway and the granite outcrops near the Hillside dams and the Matopas in what was Rhodesia are so bold in their liknesses that one believes one knows them.Continue reading “Remembering two different snorkelling “happenings.””
Remembering two of the stories I told my students.
An imaginative Jesus sent the devils in a man into some pigs. The herdsmen were more angry about losing their pigs than having a sane happy man sitting talking to Jesus. (Strange this. Do I really prefer people to animals?) All the healed man wanted was to stay with Jesus. Jesus told him directly: ”Continue reading “Remembering two of the stories I told my students.”
Remembering flowers as gifts and a collection of cards.
Those who respected God thought about Him and talked to each other about Him, and God listened to them and wrote in a book. Then the Lord spoke: ‘ They will be mine. I will save them like jewels like a person saves their child.’ Malachi 3: 16,17 ( Sandy’s understanding if you read onContinue reading “Remembering flowers as gifts and a collection of cards.”
Remembering fleas in fitted carpets.
A person who refuses to admit their mistakes can never be successful. If the person confesses and leaves those mistakes, they get a fresh start. Proverbs 28 : 13 Soon after moving into the house, we realised that the pleasant green wall to wall fitted carpets were carrying little black specks that bit. We wentContinue reading “Remembering fleas in fitted carpets.”
