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."

Walking with Christ

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” John 6: 66-67 What does it mean to walk with Christ? I asked this question today. To walk means to move, to go from one physical place to another. Unless you are walking on a treadmill and then you literally go nowhere! To walk with someone else you have to keep up with their pace, whether they walk slower or faster than you. To walk with Christ we need to watch Him and match our stride with His. Not lagging behind, yet also not walking too far ahead of Him either. I know I tend to run ahead to the future in my thoughts and not always listen to what the Lord tells me in the His Word, the Bible. Who are some people who walked with God? Abraham is one who comes to mind. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” Genesis 17:1 Abraham walked so closely with God ...

Called, Chosen and Faithful

“...and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” (Revelation 17:14b) The saints are called, chosen and faithful. It makes me think of Revelation chapter 19:11, where Christ is described as Faithful and True. Amazing to think that we will also share this attribute of being faithful to Him! We are called to follow Him and serve Him. Chosen, His Bride, who will be dressed in fine linen, robes of righteousness. (Revelation 19:8) “And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.” Revelation 22:3-4 Such encouraging words to meditate on! One day the curse of sin will be broken, and we shall serve at the throne of God and the Lamb. We will see His beautiful face, the One whom we hid our faces from (Isaiah 53:3) We will see Him and...
