Creations and Cooking

Greetings in the love of Christ, 

Hope your day went well sisters! We know if we endure faithfully each day then we will one day be rewarded with eternal life with the Father! What a precious and amazing promise we have! We have such a hope! 

"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure."

1 John 3:1-3

Amen sisters. Let us strive to walk in holiness and obedience to such a holy God! 

"Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?" 

Exodus 15:11

So my post today has turned into sharing some more of His creations, birds mostly and then some garden produce creations too along with some simple duties I did. Hope it edifies you sisters. 

I found this older picture of a robin... 

And some pelicans fishing... 

And when my siblings and I were much younger we raised many monarch butterflies... 

Those were some that hatched out of their chrysalises on the same day. (And then we had a deformed one or two that couldn't fly so we fed them sugar water until they died.) Raising butterflies is a nice thing for children to do and watch. Praise God for such amazing creations! And they are just one out of billions of creatures! Of course a caterpillar changing into a butterfly isn't as amazing as a life made new in Christ, from darkness to light! It's certainly a miracle of a transformation of a butterfly. So also is the new birth that is available for all who truly seek the Lord. Our God is amazing! 

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." 

Romans 12:2

A bird picture I took the other day... 

Today I was hanging out washing to dry in the sunshine and breeze and a rooster was having a dust bath nearby... 

I look forward to these bulbs flowering soon! (More of the rooster hanging around watching me...he attacks me and pulls on my skirt sometimes.) 

Just a Titus 2 pic of the winter sunshine drying the washing... 

I was blessed to see this cute little pretty bird eating grass seeds outside my room window today...

More Titus 2 from my day...

Little cauliflower heads forming.... 

And I picked some beetroots from the garden... 

And cooked them for tea tonight... 

With fish and other veggies... 

A delicious strawberry yoghurt a sibling made from our fresh cow milk...

It was delicious! 

"But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, which have separated you from other people." 

Leviticus 20:24

(Thank you sister for adding that scripture to my picture I sent you of me listening to your scripture readings you sent me:-)

"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

Romans 6:4

(And thank you for letting me borrow that flower picture from your blog sister...I loved it:-) 

"Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God."

Romans 6:6-13

And I got to see a beautiful sunset over the lake... 

(The picture doesn't show it as it was though.) I got to go about some dishes washing and cooking tea and I could see it out there...it went on so long. 

Glory to our great God for His marvellous works in His creations! 

And even more than that praise Him for sending His Son to die for our sins so we may have the hope of eternal life with the Father if we obey Him! And we are grateful for the truth that sets us free! 

So sisters I shall go now. One more day is over for me. Let's see what tomorrow brings when we get there! 

I leave you with this scripture to edify.... 

" Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 

Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work."

2 Thessalonians 2:15-17

Love in Christ,
