The Sun was shining

As I arrived to Check on Year 6 this morning

I was met by this sweet dove

 perching on the tree

unto the balcony.

The students were painting

as they were preparing projects according

 to their Science research.

She did not mind their chattering

 but seemed to enjoy it 

as the sun warmed us all!

He Refreshes Our Souls

Daddy used to take us all
to the beach

 to spend our days
swimming in the waves, 

building sand-castles,
 playing games
and volley-ball.

Some days
we would rise early, 

take breakfast to the beach
and watch the sunrise. 

What happy memories!!

The Lord Jesus
would cook breakfast on the beach

 for his disciples after they had been
all night fishing

 with no good results.

 I love Jesus
 because he is so full of strength

 and deep love for all.

 It is his love for us
and his deep devotion to his Father

 that kept him going to the cross
and fulfilling his mission.

May He lead us
 to these quiet waters today,

 where He will refresh our souls.

By Lake Tromen

We parked our car and walked the two miles to

Lake Tromen in the South of Argentina

so near the border with Chile.

It appeared before our amazed eyes!

So beautiful with its sparkling waters

inviting us to sit along its shores.

We spent hours sitting on a log

and walking along its coast

drinking in from its beauty.

Trust in the LORD your GOD

The Wise man built his house upon the rock 

and when the storm came along,

 He was safe.

 He was able to withstand the strong

 winds and the heavy rains and floods.

 Similarly we can build our lives upon the rock

  who is Jesus Christ, God´s Son,

 Blessed Messiah.

 He is the Corner Stone

 upon which to build his Church, his Body.

 He is the Head. 

All authority has been given to Christ Jesus,

 Amen.

Blossom and Grow

                                                     

They grow in the sunshine
 brightening up my window sill,
my life and my heart.

 Take a little time to tend them
 and water them during the week.

 Last time I watered them
 I had my little granddaughter in my arms.

 I showed her their beauty
 and taught her their names. 
She gifted me with smiles.

Gardening nourishes our souls.

Take care of nature and blossom.

 Have a good day!

People Need the Lord

We need to seek the Lord. 

We can open our hearts to him in prayer. 

We will love him with all our souls,

 minds and strength and we will seek his Kingdom first. 

To love him is to obey him. 

To live under his authority.

 To search Scriptures and obey his recommendations.

 If we do love him first and foremost,

 everything else will be added. 

Praises to God almighty

 for his loving kindness and mercy. 

In Jesus. 

Amen.
