First a question from Jesus to Peter: ‘Who do you say I am?’ Peter’s answer was quick and brief: ‘ The Christ of God.’ Then Jesus told Peter His ( the Son of Man’s) future: ‘ I must suffer many things, be rejected, be killed and be raised the third day.’ He also said aContinue reading “Then and now Amaryllis belladonna”

Wisley after a long dry spell.
‘And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom he had formed.’ Genesis 2: 7,8 (but I like the versesContinue reading “Wisley”
A vase with two sides
This post starts with a happening in the 6th Century BC. At this time Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon. He was the one who had already had a dream about the world from his time to the end of time (Daniel 2) but this next dream was a ‘nature ‘ dream. Here is Daniel’s interpretationContinue reading “A vase with two sides”
The trees of our garden
Yesterday I was sad, today I am glad. It is raining. Will there be enough for the Rowan tree or only for the grass and ground cover plants. Yesterday I was curious to know why the red berries of the Rowan hadn’t been eaten. Today I know that the birds wait for the first frostsContinue reading “The trees of our garden”

Walking through…
a warm Cotswold country side but first a thought about being wise from Paul… Let nobody deceive themselves. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let them become fools, that they may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written God takes theContinue reading “Walking through…”
The story of the stressed pear tree.
First something from Paul telling the Philippians how to cope with stress: Talk to God by first saying thank you, then ask/ tell God about everything not being careful about saying anything and then God’s peace, which is not understood, will keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. I have made it my ownContinue reading “The story of the stressed pear tree.”
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”

The local tea shop has the maps for sale and it is really easy. Bit by bit let us look. Its reallyContinue reading “Sabbath walk Hambleden Buckinghamshire”
