Philippians

4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, 

whatsoever things are just,

whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, 

whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue,

and if there be any praise, think on these things. 


~ ~ ~



This was one of the first verses I ever read in the bible 

that reached out and pulled me in. 

and I haven't put it down for any length of time since then.

When I wander....and I am prone to wander

these are some of the words that bring me back.

    I love this verse! There are so many awful things in the world right now but it makes a big difference to choose to fill our minds with the good.

    So beautiful with the bittersweet (which I am trying to encourage to grow here!). Those verses are key for me as well, and whenever I find my brain heading off into the deep end, I let the strength of them pull me back into truth.
    Blessings to you!

    This verse is so easy to overlook if not ready slowly and with discerning eyes. I feel like that is true in our world as well. We can be so quick to overlook the blessings and beauty all around us and become so task oriented or worse focus on the negativity of the world and let that be bigger than the blessings. Thank you for the opportunity to focus on this verse with more clarity. God Bless!

    Such a perfect scripture that explains so much about how simple life can be with those attributes. A great memory verse for sure.

    We are ALL prone to wander, aren't we? That's our old sin nature. I totally agree about the importance of these verses in drawing us back. Thank you for sharing this today.

    I love this passage. I'm prone to wander too, and when I do it's often because I have been thinking on things that are NOT true and lovely. So grateful for the gentle reminders of what I should be spending my time thinking about.

    I've always loved this verse - it's one of my favorites. A pretty picture of the berries. I'm enjoying Autumn so much.

    That's a passage I that often remind my children... focus on the lovely things. Your fall berries are so pretty.

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
