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.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
