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 willow herbContinue reading “Green with pink”
Scabiosa atropurpurea…
…grown from seed in 2025 and blooming now in 2026. I am so pleased. To celebrate I placed them alone in a copper jug that once belonged to Mum Dorothy and Dad Brian. A well travelled vase. I will also include a photograph of where these plants have thrived in the garden. These stalks haveContinue reading “Scabiosa atropurpurea…”

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”

David speaking: ‘The LORD is close to those who are very sad, and saves those who have a feeling of deep regret or remorse for doing wrong. Good people often have things go wrong but the LORD takes care of them through it all.’ Sandy’s way of saying Psalm 34: 18,19. Those wild flowers inContinue reading “Andernach”

Katwijk aan Zee Netherlands
I am first going to travel a while with the Lord’s Prayer as found in Matthew 6: 9-13 and compare what Jesus taught with what was written in the Old Testament. Isaiah is speaking to God, here he is in mid flow: ‘ Look down from heaven… doubtless You are our Father, our redeemer; YourContinue reading “Katwijk aan Zee Netherlands”
