The little details in life...

The delicate floral motif sprinkled on this baby's dress,

adds a touch of old fashioned charm,

and loveliness to any day.

The gleam of a setting sun glows softly through slats in a humble but useful object- a laundy basket.

Knitted with love

texture and contrasting colors

winding spiral staircase in Kusadasi, Turkey

Early morning light as seen through melted and then beveled- sand, limestone and soda ash,

usually refered to as glass.

"Yes, I live on 47th and Downing Road, number 3-

the blue door with the lion door knocker.

It is on your immediate left,

you can't possibly miss it,

oh do deliver the flowers as soon as you can,

won't you? Thanks very much, Cheerio then!"

Blue Door in Birmingham

Exposed to the elements....

weathered,

aged gradually in thunderstorms,

sweltering heat,

cold in the winter....

Factory doors on a warehouse in the Turkish countryside

Freshly baked chocolate brownies and a "cuppa" tea.

Late afternoon reminiscences

"Because all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man

as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, But the Word of the LORD endures FOREVER."

1 Peter 1: 24-2

Jesus Christ - and We

Jesus Christ- and We Christ has no hands but our hands , to do His work today; He has no feet but our feet to lead men in His way; He has no tongue but our tongues to tell men how He died, He has no help but our help to bring them to His side. We are the only Bible, the careless world will read; We are the sinners' gospel, we are the scoffers' creed; We are the Lord's last message, Written in deed and word- what if the line is crooked, what if the type is blurred? What if our hands are busy, with other work than His, What if our feet are walking, where sin's allurement is?

By Annie Johnson Flint (1862-1932) I was going through my old school folders and found this great poem. It is so true. We as Christians are to show the world how Christ would act and ta...
