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.”

On the shrub and then alone.
Here is the ending of a powerful prayer where Paul is speaking: ‘Now to God who is able to do far more/ exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory… by Christ Jesus throughout all ages,world without end. Amen.’ It is oneContinue reading “On the shrub and then alone.”
The Beech tree.
This post will first have a quote then something written by Paul. The Beech tree will be next followed by what I didn’t know/ remember but which I found sadly interesting and in a way encouraging. The quote is this: ‘ We cannot use the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is to use us.’ The writerContinue reading “The Beech tree.”
Winter stalks,Cardoon and garlic…
This morning before 7:30 the sky was grey and fine droplets of water moved in the air. I looked up at the tops of the trees in the garden and thought of how much was happening for these living stalks. I then looked down at what was already grey and green. This post is goingContinue reading “Winter stalks,Cardoon and garlic…”
Winter stalks in a jug
Moses also wrote some of the Psalms. Here he prays about the brevity of life compared to God’s eternity. This is from Psalm 90:10,11,12 ‘ The days of our years are threescore years and ten (3×10+10=70); and if by reason of strength they are fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for itContinue reading “Winter stalks in a jug”

I started with two Bible verses…
and then I went on a journey. Strangely I started with something in Ezekiel who lived and worked in 593 B.C and then had an explanation of a prophecy from Jeremiah 33, I didn’t know about. Here are the verses, Old Testament first then New Testament about the Holy Spirit. ‘ A new heart willContinue reading “I started with two Bible verses…”
The wetness of …
our season how can I show this? Here are photographs noticing how well watered our part of the world is. The wet ground. A wall. A path and trees. Crowns of oaks with grey above their twigs. The sky is filled with more water. It is wet! But the sun will shine and plants onContinue reading “The wetness of …”
The same flowers
The same flowers but are they a link between last year and this year? Maybe. 9th November 2025 February 2026 So where is the link? Is it shape/ form, colour bright/lighter, life and death? Where is the change? They are the same but different. Is what happened in between of any significance? What is art?Continue reading “The same flowers”
Rain gloss and moss
Jesus is speaking: ‘ Seek first for the kingdom of God and His righteousnes…don’t worry about tomorrow it will look after itself. Today has troubles of its own to look after.’ (Sandy’s shortened form read it for yourself Matthew 6: 33,34.) January 2026 saw over 150-180 % of the long- term rainfall for the region,Continue reading “Rain gloss and moss”
Looking to Jesus
The garden is very wet and yesterday Roy and I were really tired. I spent time reading the Bible and listening to what I thought was an interesting sermon taking into account the talk that there may be a third temple in Jerusalem. I will not write about that instead I will leave that toContinue reading “Looking to Jesus”
