Greetings sisters!
I pray you are doing well and striving on in the Lord.
I travelled interstate yesterday on a 740 km (460 mile) trip and I share a few pics. I don't have much internet but here are a few.
I got to see a sunrise. That doesn't happen very often (as I'm normally in bed) but it was a great start to the day.
"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."Psalm 19:1-6
And the ferry across the river...
Even though it's out in the country with not many people around...you still couldn't even open your windows on the ferry...yeah...anyway.
I sent the sign picture to my sister in the Lord and she added the verse and send it back.
This world is not our home and we are not part of it either...just passing through doing the will of the Father.
"For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved."Philippians 3:20-4:1
Reminds me of Joseph in Egypt.
"Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous."
Genesis 41:29-31
Some mountains in the middle of flat cropping country (the pictures don't show it properly).
And we (my parents and I) are camping outside where my younger sister and family live. I'm helping her with baby care and housework for a bit.
"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content."1 Timothy 6:6-8
So having a place to sleep is...well an extra blessing.
"And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."
Matthew 8:20
We all have so many extra blessings in our lives. We might have technology to communicate with saints in the Lord and write blogs. We might have a good warm bed, we might have lots of different foods to choose from, we might have some household items to help make life easier We have so many blessing for sure. May we not take these for granted or expect them to always be there.
And a pretty flower pic from a sister, to which I added a verse.
May our days be lived for the Lord, and may we be...pure in heart.
Until next time (whenever that is)...
Love in Christ,
...from a servant of His.
