King

The King Parrots are frequenting the garden at the moment.

Reflection:
Psalm 102:15 (New International Version)
The nations will fear the name of the LORD,
all the kings of the earth will revere your glory.

Beauty

I am so glad to have roses.

Reflection:
Proverbs 31:30 (New International Version)
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

From the rose garden

A lovely centrepiece for the dining table.

Reflection:
Isaiah 58:11 (New International Version)
The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.

Cool and sweet

And a nice cool salad with a sweet and sour dressing to go with Thai Fish Cakes. Lettuce and cucumber from hubbies magical vege patch.

Reflection:
Proverbs 24:14 (New International Version)
Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul;
if you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.

Hospitality

This week we shared a meal with our lovely neighbours. Yummy cucumber, mint and yoghurt dip for an appertiser, using goodies from the garden they so kindly watered while we were away.

Reflection:1 Peter 4:8-10 (New International Version)
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.

First fruits

Happy New Year!!

What a lovely way to start, with first fruits from the vege patch.

Reflection:
Nehemiah 10:35 (New International Version)
"We also assume responsibility for bringing to the house of the LORD each year the firstfruits of our crops and of every fruit tree."

Taking a break

It's time the rest and enjoy the garden. I wish you all a wonderful Christmas with lots of joy shared with family and friends.

I'll be back in the New Year.

Reflection:
Luke 2:14 (New International Version)
"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
