Jeremiah 32.40 - 41

All things English

Rebecca's cousins visited from England over the summer... and she just loved it.  Since they left she has been rather smitten with the UK... the British accent is used in general communication, the union jack shows up often and she is desperate to go visit. 

The three amigos

They are older now so they have kept in contact.

Acts 17.28

I was listening to a podcast by Steven Furtick and one of the things really stuck:  'If you live off the affirmation of others, you will die from the absence of the same'

We are called to build each other up but we cannot live off this.  I cannot tell how many times I have placed unrealistic weights on others and myself in this regard.  There is not one perfect one among us that can meet all our needs.  We are meant to live Acts 17. 28 'For in Him we live and move and have our being'

In the autumn garden

Oranges... 

 

and Lemons...

 

 

"Oranges and lemons, say the Bells of St Clements" - I loved this strange nursery rhyme when I was little.  Back to the garden... the citrus fruit look beautiful - almost ripe!

 

 

The branches on my White Karee looked magical this morning, with little

shimmering raindrops hanging from every leaf (after a stormy night).

What? 30 and a day
