A kind promise as written by David inspired by God: ‘The Lord will preserve your going out and coming in from now on.’ Psalm 121 :8 ( I couldn’t think of a better word for preserve. It makes me think of food well kept to eat at any time. Really appreciated.) Nearly an acre ofContinue reading “World Food Garden – Wisely”

Beauty bush, old-fashioned weigela, and canola.
I thought beauty bush and old fashion weigela were the same shrub until last week. They were already well established plants32 years ago, where they grew and bloomed together. Can you notice anything different? See the difference. Is there a noticeable difference? Kolkwitzia amubilis / Beauty bush is less common, and the flowers are smallerContinue reading “Beauty bush, old-fashioned weigela, and canola.”
One lupin,one lily pad, and new ferns wherever.
I’m writing something said by Paul . I write his conclusion first to show why he is so confident, and then I write what sort of situation he has been in, with faith in God. Philippians 4: 19,12,13 Paul speaking: ‘ My God provides my needs because of the abundant resources and glory, which areContinue reading “One lupin,one lily pad, and new ferns wherever.”
Plants together in the garden
In this post, I start with two religious quotes. One from the Bible, the other from Bonhoeffer. They then lead me to look at the garden and how things work there. ‘ The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, He is patient with you, not wanting anyone toContinue reading “Plants together in the garden”
Herbs from the garden
God speaking: ‘Look around you. I have given you and every animal of the earth that has life green herbs to eat. These herbs carry seeds, and the trees carry fruit with seeds. These are for you to eat.’ Genesis 1: 29,30 (Sandy’s wording read it in its context and word it for yourself). ItContinue reading “Herbs from the garden”
A Buttercup
Religion ‘ While God’s hatred of sin is as strong as death, His love for the sinner is stronger than death… No truth essential to our salvation is held back, No miracle of mercy neglected, No divine agency is left unemployed. Favour is heaped on favour, gift upon gift. The whole treasury of heaven isContinue reading “A Buttercup”
Angelica and rhubarb
Here are three linked thoughts from David, James, and Malachi. In places I have made it my own. David: ‘You God laid the foundations of the earth and the heavens You made with your hands. They will perish, but You, God, will last/endure. They will get old like clothes but you will change them likeContinue reading “Angelica and rhubarb”
Yellow archangel and the bluebell woods.
In this post, I will look at a verse and then focus on the yellow archangel and the haze of the bluebell woods. I will also include a tree I photographed on 24 April and again on 28 April. Peter speaking: ‘ The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears areContinue reading “Yellow archangel and the bluebell woods.”
Tulips in a vase and the garden.
Jesus speaking: ‘ Why are you thinking these things? Is it easier to say to the sick, your sins are forgiven or to say to a disabled person walk? I want you to know that I, Jesus, have power to forgive sins. Jesus turns to the man who can’t walk and says: ‘I tell you,Continue reading “Tulips in a vase and the garden.”
Stitchwort and the bluebell woods.
Jesus speaking: ‘ Whoever eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise them up at the last day.’ John 6:54 ( strange this last day it comes in verse 40 ) ‘And this is the will of Him (God) that sent me, that everyone who sees the Son andContinue reading “Stitchwort and the bluebell woods.”
Lady’s smock and the blue bells
God speaking through Jeremiah: ‘ I(God) know the thoughts that I think about you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil.’ Jeremiah 29 :11 ‘The trials that test our faith most severely and make it seem that God has forsaken us, are to lead us closer to Christ, so that we may lay all ofContinue reading “Lady’s smock and the blue bells”
The bluebell woods part 2
First,a verse I feel fits with the thought of growing through… ‘God’s love and kindness will shine upon us like the sun that rises in the sky. To give light to us who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet in the way of peace.’ Luke 1:78,79 ( AndContinue reading “The bluebell woods part 2”
