Here is a quote from E.G.White who lived around about 1844 and then Micah 8th century BC. ‘ Jesus doesn’t wish for those who have been bought with His blood to become the sport of Satan’s temptations. He doesn’t want us to be overwhelmed and die. He was the one who stopped the lions eatingContinue reading “A green vase”

A cup and a plate
Here is a question asked by David in his old age through the voice of the wicked: ‘ How does God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?’ But My/ David’s question is: ‘ Who have I in heaven but You? and there is none upon the earth beside You. My flesh andContinue reading “A cup and a plate”

Green with pink
Two plants. Two different containers and a little in common. The great willow herb and myrtle spurge. Both are considered noxious weeds in the US but the myrtle spurge in the UK has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit and is valued in dry, Mediterranean style rock gardens. The willow herbContinue reading “Green with pink”
Straw flowers and lavender
This post will have a little about these two plants but then will be an appreciation of two special people. The lavender has amazing long stalks this year with longer flower spikes than usual and the straw flowers grown from fresh seed are producing fine numbers of flowers.

The Spear Thistles and Day Lilies
First a thought about God from Micah who lived at the time of Isaiah: He says ‘ the LORD shall be a light to me.’ I asked how?

Het Loo a palace near Apeldoorn Netherlands
I will start this post with two thoughts one from Deuteronomy 6:4,5 and one from Leviticus 19:18. Then see what Jesus says to a lawyer who asks a question: ‘Master, which is the great commandment in the law?’ Here are the two Old Testament quotes: Hear, Oh Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:Continue reading “Het Loo a palace near Apeldoorn Netherlands”
Geums and forget-me-nots
Here are three thoughts about conversation: simplicity, godly sincerety, and this, ‘not fleshly wisdom.’ What is this? It seems to be opposite to simplicity and sincerity. It is conversation characterized by pride, selfish ambition, jealousy, manipulation and it has results which are division, disorder and spiritual death rather than life and wisdom. Here are theContinue reading “Geums and forget-me-nots”

How time sweeps us all in the direction of togetherness. A white trancated cone vase with large spaces between the pink hyacinth blooms. Each top flower ofContinue reading “A truncated vase with…”
Camellia in an oil lamp base.
Camillia bloom towards the end of winter and what better container to put them in than the base of an old oil lamp. Bringing a little brightness to this grey day, as well as a combination to travel with. I love the Bible and have learnt a little more through this post about the CamelliaContinue reading “Camellia in an oil lamp base.”

Amen.’ It is oneContinue reading “On the shrub and then alone.”

Jesus speaking: ‘What I am saying is true and this is what it is. Unless you are converted, and become as little children you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles themselves as this small child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such little child receivesContinue reading “RHS Rosemoor, Devon”
