The four-fat-pig chime tinkles in the warm breeze, the black bucket fills with wind fall apples. The gnome sits looking down from the fork of the tree as it always has. The apple tree has its crown and we have our seventh priminister in ten years. The chime in the middle top of the pictureContinue reading “The apple tree and a bottle of thyme.”

Looking in the cupboard
…and unpacking something Paul said to the Galations. So how succinctly did he say this using sowing seeds as his summary of something important? Don’t be deceived God is not mocked: for what a person sows they reap. Those who sow to the flesh reap corruption, those who sow to the Spirit reap life everlasting.Continue reading “Looking in the cupboard”
From the garden to two containers
First I want to share the precious relationship between Jesus the Son and God the Father in these three times Jesus spoke about it. Jesus speaking: ‘ My meat is to do the will of Him who sent me.’ John 4:34 Jesus uses hunger as a metaphor for spiritual obedience. He sees that as foodContinue reading “From the garden to two containers”
A garden in the early hours…
It was 2am it was too hot to sleep. It is said that when it is too hot our core body temperature cannot drop, which prevents us from producing sleep hormones like melatonin. Anne Marrow Lindbergh has said ‘good conversation is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.’ AndContinue reading “A garden in the early hours…”
Koblenz
And here is a test for truth given by Jesus: ” Those who speak their own truth look for their own glory: but those who seek the glory of God that sent them, these speak the truth and have no unrighteousness in them.” John 7: 18 Then E G White says this: “Truth must beContinue reading “Koblenz”
Simply wildflowers
We are still travelling but this evening before the sun’s last rays left the Rhine we were enchanted by wild flowers planted in large areas. My post tomorrow will look at another well loved natural phenomenon in this area. After each photograph is a quote about wild flowers. Man has created some lovely dwellings, someContinue reading “Simply wildflowers”
Cologne Botanical Gardens.
God’s loving care when He corrects us is spoken about by Hosea who started his ministry well before 753BC. These are the words: Come, let us return to the LORD for He has torn /corrected us and He will heal us. He has smitten / told us off / reduced us and He will bindContinue reading “Cologne Botanical Gardens.”
Münster University Botanicle garden.
Just a thought I agree with: ‘ We are precious because of the value of the sacrifice made by Jesus. So don’t put a low estimate on yourself.’ What is said about this garden: ‘ Botanical Garden of University of Münster is a 4.6 hectare oasis of tranquility directly behind Münster Castle. Founded in 1803,Continue reading “Münster University Botanicle garden.”
Haltern Am See and Hohe Mark forest
To start a verse about strangers written by Moses as God speaking. I found this intersting: If a stranger stays with you in your land, you will not annoy/irritate or distress them with petty provocations. They will be as one born among you, and you will love them as yourself. Leviticud 19:33,34 One law/decree/ ruleContinue reading “Haltern Am See and Hohe Mark forest”
A tree,a garden,and asparagus…
I am going to start this post in my usual way with some thoughts from James. He is asking a question: ‘What if you look in a mirror and then forget to clean your face? ‘ He then continues in a positive way by saying: ‘ Well if you look at the perfect law ofContinue reading “A tree,a garden,and asparagus…”
Clean and bright…
This morning the garden has three plants that are essentially ground cover: sweet woodruff, garden aubrieta, and fleabane. These are all small plants with white flowers that are in mass. The fourth white flower which is taller and has come out all at once is the white garlic flower. For this post I have takeContinue reading “Clean and bright…”
The pear tree and the lilac tree
Here is a conversation between Jesus and a Father of a devil possessed boy. Jesus first wants to know how long he has been like this and hears that it came to him as a child. Jesus: If you can believe, all things are possible to those (him) that believe. Father: I believe, help myContinue reading “The pear tree and the lilac tree”
