Encouragement for Another Day








What a precious scripture passage and wonderful Example in our Saviour. 

And so I really feel my own words would be so small after such mighty scripture. 

And more... 

"John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:4-9

Amazing. Christ has washed us sisters who are His in His own blood and made us kings and priests!

I needed to go into town and so I bought some calico to sew into curtains to replace some old ones.  

I always feel as if I am a foreigner when out and about in the world. It's not so much because of how I'm dressed but how different everything is between what I value and what the world does. Maybe I'm not explaining it well but the verses about how the unbelievers think it's foolishness and how you have to have great faith to walk knowing most everyone hating what you stand for and believe and that you are alone. These three scriptures might sum it up. But we must go through this world as lights for God's glory. 

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."
1 Corinthians 1:18

"These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth."
Hebrews 11:13

And here's a fresh watermelon for dessert tonight. (We have fruit overload here at the moment:-)

I found these sweet little bird nests the other day in a little bush. They're so amazingly camouflaged. 

And just a view out my room window while I was writing this post... 


And I share a few older videos of some creatures that God created. 


These are some (distant) kangaroos I was showing my niece way back in August. I find it very peaceful myself and the scenery in general is refreshing...especially seeing some green grass (as it's all mostly brown and dead here now). 
 

(Please excuse the poor quality because I was holding my niece in one arm:-)

Well I hope that encouraged and blessed you in some way. Ponder those precious scriptures...and give the Creator glory for His works!  

Love in Christ,
