Paul tells the Christians of Philippi and anyone else who is interested this important information: My God will supply everything necessary for a faithful ministry not just financial , but emotional and spiritual. God’s supply is not limited because of His own vast resources in glory and our relationship with Jesus. Sandy’s wording. Here areContinue reading “Garden buds.”

An Iris with others.
What are the others? Green alkenet with small flowers that are not forget- me- nots. Then there is Squarrose knapweed. I don’t think I have put this in a vase before. The head is made of a cluster of bracts and the tip of the bract is bent out. Impressive in its detail. There areContinue reading “An Iris with others.”
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”
The Sedum and the apple tree 2026
First here is a friend of Job, Eliphaz giving his friend who has lost so much some advice: Receive the law from His mouth and store them in your heart. Job then answers: I have not gone back from His commandments from His lips, I have respected the words of His mouth more than myContinue reading “The Sedum and the apple tree 2026”
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”
Maroon, burgundy, ruby as seen in the garden and
…in a vase Acer leaves to the left from a young tree Roy planted last year. Here it is in the garden. Small and dwarfed but one day it will have its reflection in the water with the others.

The meadow and the garden
And this is I believe: God speaking: ‘ Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear:’ and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering of the waters He called Seas: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:Continue reading “The meadow and the garden”
The dandelions and a daffodil.
This post was supposed to have the title Dandilions and Gorse, both are in bloom. The dandilions anywhere and everywhere the gorse in the open moorland and roadsides. I put two containers out. One for the hollow, smooth stem of the dandelion the other for the thorny twig of gorse. My question was were theyContinue reading “The dandelions and a daffodil.”

She went to the back of the shop brought this out and said: ‘ This and the black one will look lovely with flowers.’ At £5Continue reading “Orange”
A tub and the grass…
Paul frequently prays for believers to grow spiritually. This is what he says in Philippians 1: 9-10. I pray that your love will exist in large amounts, more and more with knowledge and with how you judge. That you may officially agree / approve about things that are excellent, that you may be sincere andContinue reading “A tub and the grass…”
The crocuses and the hedgehog
First I want to see this word tempt used in two different contexts by Jesus: Jesus speaks to Satan: ” It is written again, ‘ You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ Matthew 4:7 Jesus did not throw Himself down from the top of the temple as Satan had asked Him to do. JesusContinue reading “The crocuses and the hedgehog”
