Seeking Sabbath

"Woe is me! for I am lost; I am a man of unclean lips,

and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips,

for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!"

Then one of the seraphim flew to me,

having in his hand a burning coal

that he had taken from the fire with tongs from the altar.

And he touched my mouth and said: "Behold,

this has touched your lips;

your guilt is taken away, and your sin is atoned for."

Isaiah 6:5-7

    Very interesting and beautiful bible verse. I wish for you a peaceful and lovely weekend. How did I miss your previous post, it can't be! Abigail has a glorious wide smile! Just full of pure joy. I am so sorry about Ashley, I did not know. Could this have been the reason you needed to stop blogging all those years ago? Such a tragedy, she was so young!

    I was thinking just this afternoon about these verses, comparing them to Peter's response to the huge catch of fish (after he had rolled his eyes at Jesus's direction). It does seem as if an awareness of our frailty and weakness is a good starting place for worship.

    I love the honesty of Isaiah. My mouth needs atoned for as well!

    Love your photo and texture to go along with this scripture. Sins atoned for, we are blessed.

    "for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts" - this phrase is of great encouragement to me as our family faces new challenges. I have seen God - I've seen and experienced His mighty works. Amen and amen!

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
