Christmas colours and a Beech tree
A little advice from long ago: Learn to do well, seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow… Come now let us reason together says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet,they shall be as white as snow. Be willing and obedient. Isaiah 1: 16- 18 I didn’t include 16Continue reading “Christmas colours and a Beech tree”
A stem and a bottle of water…
But first something about water and it is God speaking through Jeremiah: ‘ My people have committed two evils: They have left and forgotten Me, the fountain of living water, And They have dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water. Jesus speaking to anyone who will hear: ‘ If anyContinue reading “A stem and a bottle…”
A green vase
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”

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.

Heaven and Stolzenfels Castle
Where shall we start? Why not with a description of a heavenly city and then visit an earthly castle. First the one that will come down from God. Its name is the New Jerusalem. Here is a summary: It’s a cube measuring 1,400 miles in every direction. Revelations 21:16 It has walls of jasper withContinue reading “Heaven and Stolzenfels Castle”
Cologne Botanical Gardens.
God’s loving care when He corrects us is spoken about by Hosea who started his ministry well before 753BC. These are the words: Come, let us return to the LORD for He has torn /corrected us and He will heal us.

Münster University Botanicle garden.
Just a thought I agree with: ‘ We are precious because of the value of the sacrifice made by Jesus. So don’t put a low estimate on yourself.’ What is said about this garden: ‘ Botanical Garden of University of Münster is a 4.6 hectare oasis of tranquility directly behind Münster Castle.

An accident, a thunder storm and Sabbath
We were at a T-junction and slowly moving forward to the middle of a narrow two-laned road. There was suddenly a cruch of metal and a thud on my side as Bugzy’s front left side gouged out the tire of the first wheel of a truck cab. The 8 wheeled trailer then slowly moved pastContinue reading “An accident, a thunder storm and Sabbath”
Plants from past posts.

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”
